PaD February - Alphabet

I was hammering a nail into the wall to hang a bathroom tool at the top
of the basement stairs. There was a loud crash. On the other side of the
wall was a clock I'm very fond of. The clock had struck a lamp, bounced
off a table, and crashed to the floor. The clock sustained a few nicks
on the bottom but the brass rim that holds the glass had been ripped from
its hinge. Things started to look brighter when I realized the hinge had
been soldered to the rim. I can handle that!

I soldered the hinge back on. I glued the lampshade back on its metal ring.
I will touch up the small marks in the finish. The clock is back in action
as you can see from the swinging pendulum.

This clock was bought on the last day of a tent sale on the last day of
the 1813 Seth Thomas factory that gave Thomaston Connecticut its name.
At the end of the day the building was shuttered and production moved to
the South. This ended Connecticut's long history of clock production.

Before Seth Thomas there was Eli Terry Clocks that gave Terryville its name.
