Recently  worked   on ---

An Ansonia  slate  clock  with Brocot  open   escapement.

The clock  appears  in  generally  good  condition  other  than  the  problem  with  the  pallet  stones  as  described  below.

 

The main  problem  with  this  clock  is  that  both  the pallet  stones (arrowed) were snapped  off.They  are very  small 2mm  in  diameter .I have  made  temporary  ones  while  awaiting  new  steel  replacements.Setting  them  up  will  be a major  challenge.

Update - I decided   to  go for  the more attractive red    pallet  stones. These   have  been  fitted   using  shellac   to   fix  in  place.
