Saturday Lots

We recognize that the viewing time is short, compared to the large number of items, and we appreciate your taking care in handling the clocks. We understand the importance of a first hand look at movements, however, please ask Mr. Schmitt, Mr. Webber, or one of the runners before removing dials. We reserve the right to limit the handling of very fragile items.

Chris Bailey will be on hand during the viewing to answer questions of age, origin or mechanical complexity.
