    Was a boring Saturday afternoon so decided to hang my Mother's clock. I had posted it awhile ago. Got it dusted off, wound it up, and actually works. This is starting to be the Antiques corner in the living room. Gonna have to give it a thorough cleaning eventually but for now it's another place for dust to settle! :) 000_9980.jpg 000_9981.jpg 000_9982.jpg

    Just think of an accumulation of dust as 'condition commensurate with age'.

    It ain't an actual antique unless it has dust on it - If it don't then it is just a refurbished piece.! :) Hey, I'm a bit slow from being run over by 2 cars when I was 16 but I surly know you are all in jest? Right? :nailbiting:

    Love the clock, and was that the mirror you posted as well?

    Yes, had to trim the bottom (as you can see from the pic) because my Parents living room was 6" taller than mine. Then luckily I had Black Walnut in the barn and I made molding to fit the base and the top.
