The latest bulletin has three clocks on the cover, and notes on the 3rd page that say the glasses were restored by T. Moberg. Does anyone have any information about this restorer? My latest clock, E.N. Welch Beehive,ca.1880, has MOBERG printed on the inside of the glass. The painting does look similar to the glasses in the bulletin, so I'm curious to find out anything I can.

Thanks for any help.

A quick web search turned up numerous references to Tom Moberg, who apparently is well-known for his historically accurate restoration work in antique clocks. Here is one example:

A more diligent search might turn up a Tom Moberg website or perhaps the author of one of the many listings would know how to get in touch with him.

Ed,

Thanks so much for the information. I really enjoyed looking at the clocks in your collection and reading the details about them.

I believe Tom Moberg a member, I see him about every year at the Southern Ohio Regional. He lives in Michigan and is very well known and respected for his work. His work is first class. He has restored 5 or 6 glasses for me over the years. If you need his address, you can contact me at dbphelps@bluegrassbenefits.com and I will get it for you.

Lindell and Derek,

Thanks so much for the information. I did a search and did find some additional information. Thanks again for your help.

Hello Michael,

Tom Moberg mostly paints new glasses rather than restore. If the glass is signed by him it might be a new replacement rather than a restoration. He does a very nice job, and is always very busy.

Andy,

I think you're right. It probably is new. I bought this clock at a Mark of Time auction via the Internet. I had been looking for a beehive, and the glass of this clock caught me eye.

Thanks

Michael
