Wow, that's amazing!

Blessed

Yes it is. This clock will never be duplicated.

Me too! You don't see them often because families pass them down. It is stunning!

I have always wanted a Herschede and when I saw this one on the auctioneer's website I knew it would be mine. As the bidding increased I just held my paddle up to let people know I wasn't stopping until it was mine. Eventually they gave up.

@@the_clock_guy lucky

@@the_clock_guy Stunning!!! Of course you won't give us the final bid...or would you?...just curious...4 figures maybe/hopefully?

You should try and find a good Herschede repairman...Almost impossible, unless you don't mind shipping a 2 or 300 pound antiques glass clock through the mail. I now have 7 Herschedes. That is a big part of what inspired me to learn how to repair them!

Thank you so much! It is amazing.

9 Tube*

That is awesome!

I want to make a good video of this clock. I will try to finish the assembly. I moved the clock to my carriage house workshop and had to remove the movement and tubes. Thanks for asking. It has reminded me to finish the clock.

Thanks for watching! That was Princess Jane calling to her Prince.

Thank you. You are almost correct. That was Princess Jane calling to her Prince Tom....cat.

I know. Don't tell anyone. The movement is on my workbench as we speak.

I’ve noticed that too about the chimes. Instead of the usual for notes that the quarter after plays in the last four notes that I would play on the quarter till hour he would play the second for notes of the formality originally meaning you would play the fifth sixth seventh and eighth notes on the full Melody with if it’s the full tune or on the half hour that is. But I don’t bother me as long as the chimes work that’s all that matters

It really is!

Yes, I agree. Herschede used horse hide or goat skin to get their rich tones. My hammers are all intact, they have just hardened with age. I haven't found any exact replacements yet. Most replacements are pig or cow skin.

@@the_clock_guy Griffen's Clock and Repair parts. They bought R&M, but they also have Herschede records, so that you can get a history and certificate for your clock. They also have hammer leathers, etc. 😉

It really is! Thank you.

Creepy, isn't it?

Hello neighbor. Thanks for commenting. This is my favorite clock.

I agree with you 100%

Thank you so much!

9-tube Herschedes are amazing clocks. I pieced together a few videos to make this one. Sometimes the chimes are on and sometimes off. Good eye.

well, apparently, they (Herschede) retooled the movement to self-correct the chimes every quarter sometime before their Starkville days

Thank you so much.

1915 was the year Herschede won medals for the sound of their tube chimes and style of cases. I believe they used that plaque on all their clocks until 1950 when they switched to a brown plastic one. I have 5 Herschede grandfather clocks, the oldest being from about 1912.

That is interesting.

Love the name! Email me for more info: theclockguy12@gmail.com

Yes it is. This clock will never be duplicated.

Thanks for watching.

It really is! Thank you.

That was Princess Jane. She was calling out to her subjects. Coincidently we had 2 kittens not long after this video was shot.

You heard that? The cat was actually in heat and was going crazy. Funny.

It really is! Thank you.

It really is! Thank you.

Awesome! Thank you!

Easy "adjustment". Rotate the minute hand backward before the most prior quarter hour, then back forward to chime the quarter again. Repeat until the chime has cycled to the correct sequence for that quarter.

Good ear. You are correct. The movement was not set up yet when I took those images.

NIIIICE!

It really is! Thank you.

It sure is!

You could cut a hole in the ceiling.

@@the_clock_guy Don’t give me any ideas! 🤣

my ceilings are only 91 inches tall.

Thank you. Good ear.

It truly is an amazing clock. Heavy is an understatement.

Ask away. Clock education is the reason for my channel.

Yes. It's called a repeater. The French seemed to love that feature in their clocks. I was told it was for the people in the fields or in the barn. They would hear the first chime, but were not sure of the count so they would pause their work and cup their ears to listen for the chime again two minutes later.

@@the_clock_guy thank you for getting back to me much appreciated nice to know about da French Repeter I love your collection of grandfather clocks and others wonderful collection of Antiques cheers Troupee. 🎅🤛🍾🍸🎅

She wouldn't stop! (She was in heat!)

Thanks for watching.

I have another Herschede from 1938. To fix your tangle, you take the weight off. You will have to release the click with a small screwdriver and manually pull the cable out to it's very end. Then you put the weight on and wind it carefully. Be careful not to kink the cable!! And NEVER remove the weight from a cable driven clock. If you do, you must hang something on the cable to keep it taught. It doesn't have to be very heavy. Just enough to keep the cable from curling up into a birds nest. Please send pictures. theclockguy12@gmail.com

@@the_clock_guy hello. I’ve gone around talking to experts and they have said to pull on the click and then unwind it, but when I do so, it comes back up. I will make sure to make you an extremely detailed video showing you.

I agree. I was luck to have the footage that I used to make this video. My wife made me move the clock because it took up too much room in the hallway. I have wanted to make a better quality video, but the clock has been in pieces in my carriage house. The clock is so massive that I couldn't get it upstairs to my workshop. I finally cut a hole in the second floor and made an elevator to get the clock up there. Now, I just need to get the clock ready for a good video. Stay tuned, it will be coming soon.

Is it and Anniversary clock? (The clock with the 4 spinning balls as a pendulum?) If so, I am sure I can. You could mail it to me without the glass dome. I don't charge to fix clocks. You just have to pay for shipping.

@@the_clock_guy that would be so awesome. It was my mommy's clock and I lost her 14 years ago. I was upset when the balls stopped turning but it would still chim. Then I changed the batteries when our time change happened and the chim stopped . I cried for 2 days over the clock.

@@the_clock_guy yes it is a anniversary clock with the 4 spinning balls wish has also stopped working. I would not worry about fixing it but it was my late mother's and I have got use to hearing the chim and omg I miss is so bad.

Can you attach any pictures? I will see what I can do.

@@the_clock_guy How would I do that? I don't know how to attach pictures. I can email you some.

I never intended to sell this clock, but my wife isn't wild about it. She thinks it looks too Victorian. She prefers the painted dial clocks from the New England clockmakers. We currently have our Danial Burnap tall case in the front hall. I had to move the Herschede from our foyer to my workshop in our carriage house. It was so big and heavy that I had to cut a hole in the ceiling, and make an elevator to get the clock upstairs. I am sad that it is not sitting proudly in our Victorian home as it rightly deserves. I would consider selling the clock if the price and details are acceptable to both parties. My email is: theclockguy12@gmail.com

I saw the same model sell for $12,000 two years ago. This one is in better condition. I have seen similar Herschede clocks listing for as much as $25,000. Very few of these clocks are ever seen in public because they are passed down through generations and kept in families.

@@the_clock_guy so grand. Love to you Amy and girls from Australia. God bless you all.

It would qualify. I am going to do my best to keep it though.

@@the_clock_guy ok clock hoarder🤣😆⌚⏳⏰⏱⏲🕰🕛⌛⏳

@@the_clock_guy it is so nice it might be a nice gesture to the burn unit@ the hospital that cared so nicely for Amy, then others could enjoy it during their recovery& it could free up space in your home.

@@lindamon5101 maybe Amy appreciates that clock as much as The Clock Guy does. Maybe he would like to pass it down to his girls.

I agree with you. I am luck I have this footage of the clock. I wanted to make a really good video of the clock sometime in the future, but my wife (Frugal Mommy) said the clock took up too much room in the foyer so I took the movement out and packed the clock way in our carriage house. I still haven't set it back up yet, so I pieced together this video just to have something to show people. I will get to it eventually. I promise. Thanks for understanding.

I wanted to do a video on this clock for a long time. I realize that I may not get the time I need to do the quality video that this clock deserves. I was watching one of my old videos and noticed that 13 minutes of the 20 minute total was dedicated to this clock. I downloaded it, cut off the beginning, and tried to edit what I could. This video will have to do for now. The Herschede Hall Clock Company made this clock in 1916 in Cincinnati, Ohio. I bought it at a South Jersey auction. The previous owner was a Doctor who owned it for more than 50 years. He was moving to a beach area and didn't want the clock to get ruined. I put new weight cables on the clock because the original ones were different lengths. I have seen this model Herschede clock sell for $25,000. I will do my best to keep this clock as long as I can.

I agree with everything you said. I have previously posted that most people don't know these clocks by their correct names, tall clock, longcase, etc. I use the name "Grandfather Clock" in the description so average people will be able to find these videos. Also, my "Best clock ever made" had a question mark after it.... It was actually a question, not a statement. As for Tompion, I bow to him and his amazing clocks. If you look at my playlist, I actually own a William Clement longcase clock Circa 1690. I am sure you know Clement and Tompion were horological contemporaries in the 17th century. Thanks for your comments.

Outclassed by the clock guy Mr. Stanley

I know! It is amazing!

It really is! Thank you.
