John, I have a New Haven beehive shelf clock that is encased in a dark case and is in excellent running order; however, the silver face with black numerals is in very poor condition and either needs to be reconditioned or replaced.  Can you please provide guidance on how and where this can be done?

I just inherited a 1927 Montgomery Bros wind-up clock. It has a key and has serial numbers and the date inscribed. It's ticking so it seems to be working.

Thank you, Amy...
