tion before bids will be accepted. The reason is, there are folks in the deserts of Africa, and the
ice fields of Antarctica, who have nothing better to do than play on the internet and try to make
us think they are legitimate clock buyers. All we ask from new internet bidders is:
Name
Address
Phone and fax number
Bank name and address or
A credit card number
cannot verify their authenticity by a telephone call. It is a little discouraging when some nut is
the high bidder for a nice clock and their name, address, and phone number are fictitious. es,
there are people who do that.
we will transport their items to a reputable shipper. The shipping company's have hundreds of
regular customers, besides Horton's, so our buyers must wait their turn for their items to be
shipped. Normally all our clocks are shipped within 30 days after the end of the auction.
the damaged item, and all packing and materials intact. Call the company that delivered the pack-
age, normally UPS or FedEx, and advise them of the damage. They will send an inspector to
check the box and packing, and give you instructions on how to proceed with your claim. ou can
call the shipper in Lexington but they will tell you the same thing. ou would be amazed at the
number of buyers who throw away keys and pendulums with packing materials. I have had cus-
tomers throw away clocks with the packing materials. Any clock can be shipped anywhere in the
world. Joe Brewer delivers some clocks east of the Mississippi, especially to the east coast. e

although it could be mahogany. The wood has been cleaned and rubbed, not refin-
ished, some black in the grooves and crevices, but overall a wonderful clean and pol-
ished clock. The catalogs do not show that they made this model in walnut, but I still
lean that direction. The case has many applied carved pieces, ripple and other types of
moldings, from top to bottom. There are only two minor imperfections that keep the
clock from being perfect. A small indention on the right front where it was bumped,
and a minuscule corner piece of molding missing on the top left corner, otherwise the
case is perfect. The porcelain dial, hands, pendulum bob, weight, and crank, are all
near perfect, no dents or chips anywhere, and are probably original to the case. The
gridiron pendulum has oval rods. Inside on the base is a black label. The 8 day move-
ment is encased in an iron box, has dead beat escapement, sweep second, and retain-
ing power. ou will not find a nicer, more original clock, unless you prefer crusty and
black. It is ready to hang in your home and enjoy for many years. Ly- aterbury #572.
