路Well, the new year's here and everyone's finally open for business .... And I think I've started the year with the bargain of the year (and a hellova a project!). This is an arts and crafts mantle clock, in copper, made for Maple & Co around 1890-1900. The movement is reached but it's had just five minutes in some parafin and it might actually be salvageable....
You might be thinking I've lost my marbles but I have no doubt this case will clean up wonderfully - the black/grey marks are old laquer. Why did I buy and old, rusted out piece of cr*p? Well, you go look up the price of one of these! I still can't believe how little this sold for!

Cool project either way 馃憤
I'm getting an Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass vibe from this. Maybe it reminds me of the shape of the playing card soldiers in the Disney cartoon ?

路K, now go treat yourself to a Chemex or similar and taste the change again 馃槈
Only if you want to find another, very deep rabbit hole. But my word...
BTW, I know one of the owners of Chemex - very nice, family-owned company. They do most of their manufacturing in Western Massachusetts and really value their employees.

路Meh .... For the price of a modern Speedy, you could have a great setup ... then it's just 拢20 a month for beans
My buddy has a Chemex, a special grinder (which Larry has covered), a special kettle that heats the water to a certain level and has a spout, and a special scale that he uses to weigh the whole contraption when he is pouring water in. Best coffee I've ever had, but a bit nuts IMO.
And given this crowd here? We all know what happens in these parts.
