Andy, I have seen the bookends at a regional in Dearborn. They are even better looking in person. Great set!!

Don't come into the clock category to often, but figured I would post a pic of this clock. This Cathedral or Church clock is made almost entirely of Brass. Hand made in the early 1800's. I don't have my good camera handy, so I am not sure how the pic will look. Clock stands approx. 19" tall.

I have had a few questions about this clock. For anyone that is interested and has the resources, there is a nice article in the April 1986 Bulletin. If anyone is interested in seeing the article, I can also scan it and put it on the board or email it to you.
