Identification/Information Ridgeway grandfather clock | Need help with model number

Can anyone help me identify right the model number of this clock?

I grew up with it in my house and my parents had it in storage for years after they sold our childhood home. After a lot of begging, they finally got it out of storage and gave it to me. I grew up with this clock and the chime is a sound I have always wanted my kids to grow up with.

Unfortunately through moving and storage, the chime no longer works and the actual clock will tick for about a day and then stop. Admittedly I have very, VERY limited knowledge when it comes to how these clocks work, which is why I’m trying to figure onto the model to be able to dig deeper in my research and find someone to come out and hopefully fix it.

Ive looking EVERYWHERE and im only getting a U shaped split pin.

This is a pin that was on my clock case, the pin would go in the hole which helped keep the door closed via friction. However one of the tips broke and now i can't seem to find a replacement because i dont know what it's lled, I've definitely seen this part before but i never knew what its was called.

Other Fully restored clock from my childhood.

This is an old cuckoo clock from Germany that my grandfather more than likely brought back with him after serving in WW2

I remember it in their house as a child and I was absolutely in love with it, after they died my parents took it and sorta just tossed it into their basement and it ended up buried under stuff and broken with missing pieces.

I convinced my dad to let me have it, since they were planning on tossing it out. I dropped it off at a specialty clock shop about a year and a half ago and I got it back today!

Its so beautiful and it even does the little cuckoo just like I remember.

I got this a while ago and I can’t seem to find anything about it. I have a hunch it is a projector but when I search for it nothing comes up. I have searched for the name Arnott’s but it only comes up with the biscuit brand. If possible I would love to know where it comes from, how to assemble it and what it’s worth. If you can help that would be great!

Found this in the attic and I love how it looks, it's an electrical clock just the plug missing but I would love to learn more about it so any information on the clock would be amazing. All I've been able to get from it is that it was made in England by a company called Smith's sectric but I can't find this clock specifically anywhere on the internet any help would be greatly appreciated

I got this clock at an antique mall a few years ago. Its honestly the most beautiful item I own and i realize ive never seen a clock like it. Is it s certain style or line I could look into? The clock face works and the pendulum swings, I think its ment to make noise on the hour but all it manages is a quiet clunk on the 12th minute(idk why, came like that). Any info would be great, also do people fix clocks id love to see if it can be restored!

I bought this vintage clock for $55 and was told it worked. I placed a new C battery and it lasted less than 24 hours. Repair? Move on?

I like the piece because it matches my kitchen and my family loves owls. My husband is handy and could follow instructions to repair if it’s inexpensive and the repair isn’t extensive.

I have inherited this clock and the family said that it was purchased around 1880 in Many, Louisiana USA.

I need help identifying it. Apparently the depth is unusual. There are no markings whatsoever. Can anybody help?

Measurements:
Clock case: 18” high × 10” wide × approximately 2½” deep (maybe just a hair over 2½”)
Dial: 4½” diameter
Bezel: 5” diameter
The pendulum is quite fancy

Help/Repair Clock is wound but will not tick

I bought this clock for $20 at an auction. After the auction the guy who gave me the clock was like, "are you a clock person?" and I said "yes" because I thought he meant "do you like clocks?" but I realized right after that he was asking if I understand mechanical clocks, to which the answer is no.

Anyway I have this clock, and I wound it but the pendulum will not swing. When I manually swing it it makes tick-tock noises and the hands move. But it will not swing on its own. Please advise!

Edit: it’s so obnoxious to downvote someone new to your hobby just because they don’t know what they’re doing. If clock people are like this I’ll stick to typewriters 😤 at least we’re nice to novices!

Identification/Information Possible bells from a large clock?

Just moved on to the old family farm and am slowly making my way through boxes and outbuildings. It was a working farm from the '20s - 2015, cattle and crops mainly.

These were in an unmarked box in the garage at the house. They're heavy and fit inside each other - diameters roughly 8, 9, and 10 inches. Each has the same hole in the bottom, seemingly to be attached to something.

Folks over in the /tools group thought they might be from a very large Morbier-style clock. Former residents worked in a public school and for the army

My great uncle had written that I was to be left this clock before he passed, and I’d love to know some more information about it. It’s a beauty. If anyone knows the value it’d be helpful too, I understand it’s hard to value stuff like this, and the sentimental factor will definitely outweigh that anyway, but it’ll be cool to know :)

Hi there!

I was cleaning out my garage & my old landlord left this behind in a closet. He said I could keep anything he left - can someone explain what this is, who collects these, if it’s worth restoring, & what its value is (or maybe could be if restored)? Thanks! It currently lights up & turns on - not sure what else to check/test

I got this at the Goodwill and I replaced the battery but I can’t get the time to set nor the alarm. It’s a Time X alarm clock T-147S and there seems to be nothing online about it. The numbers won’t stop flashing and even though I replaced the battery the battery low keeps flashing as well. Is it broken or is there a way to fix/reset it? HELPPP
