Antique Carriage Clock Beveled Glass Replacement
Sunday, October 23rd, 2011 Posted in All Repair Projects, Antique Glass Repair, Beveled Glass, Clock Glass | Comments Off on Antique Carriage Clock Beveled Glass ReplacementI have made “new “old glass for hundreds of carriage clocks. The bevels are small and come to a very sharp point on the edges . They need to be thin on the edge because the grove in the brass were the glass fits is very small. I use old glass when I make replacement panels for antique clocks. You can tell the old glass by the wavy surface and seeds (small bubbles in the glass). This glass is 100 years plus in age . I have a stock of old ( antique ) glass I use for clocks. It helps preserve the value of the clock.
This glass is very old and perfect for making replacement beveled glass panels for antique carriage clocks and regulators.

Carnival Glass Depression Glass Pressed Glass bowl repair
Tuesday, October 11th, 2011 Posted in All Repair Projects, Antique Glass Repair, Glueings | Comments Off on Carnival Glass Depression Glass Pressed Glass bowl repairThe bowl was broken in half and in need of restoration. It was a clean break so I think would guess hot water in the sink was the culprit . This type of repair comes out very good because of the color and texture. Cracked glass bowls are sent to me all the time.
