In another thread Tom Seymour mentioned how much he liked matching face and pendulums. I also like them. I only have one photographed which I am posting. The clock is a Fredrick Mauthe that I have had about 35 years. Here's the clock . A close-up of face and bob follows. Lets see more.

Very nice example. I don't have any examples of these. I usually find them on German clocks, and my collection is nearly all American. I have, however, noticed a nice example at my friend's shop. I will try to get a picture of that before it goes back to the customer.

Here is my other clock with matching face, pendulum bob and weight shells. It has an Urgos movement, 8 rod, bim bam 1/2 hour and hour strike. Both the movement and the gong base are signed "Urgos" in script. The movememnt has a serial number which, I have been told, indicates it was pre WW II. I guess that makes an Urgos tall case clock. Has anyone seen another one like it?

I want to thank Tom for, unknowingly, prompting this post. My two clocks pale in comparison to some that have been posted but I am very happy to see such craftsmanship. Hopefully there will be more "eye candy" posted. Thanks to all who have or will contribute.
