Sorg cĺock
Good afternoon, I just bought this Sorg clock. I'd like some information about the manufacturer, year of manufacture, and how it works. I see it has only one chain and one pulley, but it also has movement trains and a chime mechanism. What can you tell me? Thank you.

It's a beautiful dial and surround, one of the typical styles for Sorg clocks. I haven't seen fancy hands like that. Usually hands on Sorg clocks are simple arrow pointers or moon hands. The hands on your clock fit properly, so I suppose they could be original.

Hello,
This clock has been in our family for almost 300 years. I have no information on it other than it was made in Wales. It is approximately 1 meter in height, 1/2 meter in width and 1/4 meter in depth.
Might anyone know if others like this exist?
Thank you.

The tuning of organ pipe flutes
Tuning flute pipes (flue pipes) in an organ clock (like Black Forest-style flute clocks or flötenuhren) with a small blower is a practical method for restoration or maintenance, especially for individual pipes outside the full instrument.
Organ clocks use small wooden (or sometimes metal) flute pipes that play melodies via a pinned barrel or similar mechanism. These are typically stopped (closed at one end) or open flue pipes, voiced and tuned similarly to small organ pipes but on a much smaller scale. A small electric blower (often a variable-speed micro or hobby blower, like those for airbeds/inflatables) allows you to test and tune pipes one by one without needing the full wind system or bellows.
Setup for a Small Blower
• Use a variable-speed micro blower (e.g., a small 12V or 230V fan blower) with adjustable airflow. This mimics the low wind pressure these small pipes need.
• Attach a…

Schwarzwälder Glockenschläger — literally a Black Forest bell striker / bell ringer clock. The obvious first part of the signature is Anton, but the rest on the photo is unledgable. The period of manufacturing is in the mid 1800’s . The signature is also possibly from a person who serviced the clock as there seems to be what appears to be a round stamp in the bottom left hand corner of the photo. On other note the clock is missing the back enclosure behind the figures as ahown in the photos below

Clock restored waiting for the shelf to be up on the wall
I just received the restored front shield today, but due to freezing weather I can’t fabricate the shelf to mount it up on the wall next to the harp clock
