I also copied the floral spandrels after this, and antiqued the dial. I can always antique it with stains, but I haven't bothered yet.
It's too bright, eventhough I added a lot of black to it. The original dial was traced, then stripped, and repainted to match the original exactly. This one, you can't see the details, but it was a complete repaint. On later dials, I used a drawing set with inking compass and india ink. Then I repainted it with paint and fine point markers. I managed to rub everything off, leaving only the white base, and a faint outline of the dial. The previous person had repainted the numbers with pencils, and it looked awful. I have only done a few complete repaints. He did not attempt to repaint anything, except missing areas, and left all worn areas "as-is" eventhough he could easily have redone them.Īnd I would LOVE to see how you proceed with certain repairs, or techniques. I haven't seen too many restored dials that I thought were "fantastic" with the exception of some touched-up ones that Tom T has done (it's in his e-book). His dials were well done, but all of them were "too perfect" and on a few of them, I preffered the "before" shots. I had someone on eBay offer to repaint some dials I had bought. I've seen repainted dials before, and though they are nice, I always preffer damaged old ones. Dial restoration is always one of the "high price" specialty repairs. I know a lot of people do certain jobs as a "labor of love" but honestly, most people at least seek compensation. I'm not too worried, because I can retrace the dial pretty easily, but I WILL need to be careful with the signature portion of the dial.
The background white, and the flowers won't come off (good paint!) but the black is just india ink, and does rub off. I was surprised to see that with careful rubbing, I'll be able to "strip" and then touch-up, the original dial. The black started to come off, but so did some of the white, which revealed a creamy yellow underneath. I tried lacquer thinner (pretty strong stuff). So I decided I'd see if the black numerals would come off, and maybe I'd redo it overtop. Then they repainted all the numbers.Īll the original dial details are still visible as faint blue lines: Someone "restored" it, by overpainting it with a milky-clear coat of white. USA" wooden dial, with painted floral decorations in the corners. The dial is a signed "JC Brown, Bristol Ct. I may have to strip it down completely, or do multiple touch-ups.īut the dial! The dial is a true horror story. The clock is Rosewood, and will need fairly major work done to it.
That doesn't mean it doesn't stay that concentration after that date, it just means that they've done studies up to that date.I recently bought a nice 8 day Forestville ogee clock, with the famous "acorn" movement (has fancy plates). And they've done studies up until that date that … it's still that concentration at that date. "The medication hasn't degraded up to that date. "It's viable to the same concentration effectiveness," Hartzell told INSIDER. Medicine's expiration date is the point at which it isn't as powerful as it was before the expiration date (which is usually marked by month and year, meaning the end of that month, not the beginning). Expiration dates signal to consumers when their medicine loses its potency To get more details and find out when you shouldn't take expired medicine, INSIDER spoke with American Pharmacist Association spokesperson Vincent Hartzell, PharmD, of Hartzell's Pharmacy to explain the expiration dates on medicines and what you should do when they expire. According to a report in the Journal of the American Medical Association, some drugs may retain their potency for up to four decades. Will you get sick if you take it even though it's expired? The short answer is, probably not. Next time you go into your medicine cabinet and see that a bottle of aspirin has expired, you might wonder how serious that expiration date really is.
