What are your views on these plates,Leave on or remove?. I have seen several clocks with obvious signs that plates were once affixed on them ,personally I like to see them left as in my opinion they are part of the history of the clock. What prompted me to post this was I am sitting next to a Triple Chain Fusee Bracket Clock and it has the most intrigueing plate ever, and it's 100 yrs old this month I just noticed. So what's your opinion?. Ged.

I'm with you. Anything that is part of the history of the clock I find interesting.

Now that you have aroused our curiosity, and we know you have mastered the are of picture taking, and posting........

Personally I like the presentation plates to be present. I have a small black French clock with a presentation to "Rev. Benjamin Martin, AM, by his Bible class, Leslie, 12 Jan. 1865" This is a special clock to me in that my only niece was born on Jan. 12, 1965 - 100 years later. Another French clock here has scratched inside the front or back plate that it was cleaned and serviced by such and such, age 16 in the mid 1920's. I have often wondered what happened to him. There's a Becker Westminster bracket that belonged to my Dad here also and some screw holes indicate where the plate was removed.

Picture of Presentation Plate , Wonder what the story is behind this?.

SORRY ABOUT DELAY, Visitor arrived, Will post pic's of complete clock tomorrow. I have to go up pub now to wind clock in bar. Ged.

Intersting clock Ged, i would leave the plate on as it adds to the history of the clock.
You have a good reason to go to the pub now to wind the clock, maybe my local pub has a old clock, ummmmmmm.

That is an interesting one Ged. "for past kindness" It makes you wonder what the story is.
