Comments (26)All of caseynfld's answers are correct. P. Is the Brooklyn Bridge, not the Roebling Suspension Bridge, although both are quite similar and both were built by Johnathan A. Roebling. The one in Cincinnati was built as a proof-of-concept to show the design would work before he was allowed to build the Brooklyn Bridge. The only picture I can find of the Roebling Suspension Bridge is from back in the 70's when it was known simply as "The Suspension Bridge" When it was built, Mr. Roebling wasn't allowed to have the bridge line up with the roads on either side of the river, to intentionally make it difficult to use to avoid being too disruptive to the business of the ferry boat operators...See MoreI'll Show You Mine if You Show Me Yours Mon Apr 17
Comments (17)Thanks skibby, but I'm very worried about them. They're right outside our screened back porch so I can look at them any time without disturbing them or Mom, but the nest is less than 4 feet high. Not a great location for a bird nest in my opinion....See MoreI'll Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours - Mon 4/9
Comments (11)I've been working on an old 8 day shelf clock. It had belonged to my wife's grandfather and we estimate that the clock was 70 yrs old when he acquired it. I have completely refurbished the mechanism. It was taken apart, chemically cleaned, shafts straightened, 10 bushings installed where pivot holes were worn, reassembled, lubricated, and a couple of timing parts adjusted (by bending - It was designed for this), new weight cords installed, and finished adjusting the pendulum a couple of days ago. Its now running like new and my instructor says it should be good for another 50 years. The mahogany case has many cosmetic issues and I need to fabricate keys for the doors. These were lost long ago and replacements are not to be found. I have plans for repainting the glass windows and my nephew (the cabinet and wood worker) is willing to construct the missing top decoration if I supply him with plans. This clock is a "Jared Arnold, jr" built in 1830 in Amber, NY. Many clock makers of that period bought brass strap movements from Bristol, Connecticut and put those into a clock cabinet of their own design. However, the authors of a clock book thinks that Jared Arnold made his own gears based on comparing Gear teeth counts to known Bristol movements. Arnold made this clock style for about 3 years and then sold his business to his partner. The case design changed at that point. Therefore, I can date this clock to within 3 years. An appraiser thought it was one of the first year's production based on the penmanship of the hand lettered clock face. The pinkish smear and light area on the clock face are artifacts of light reflections and are not part of the face. The face is in better condition than it appears here. Its old enough to be an antique....See MoreUptown Gal
