United Fireplace Clock

I've seen one of these clocks on line, in fact, there is a You Tube video of one in action.  I saw this one in the cart at the thrift and tested it to see if it worked then hunted hubby down to show him.  His response, "I have to have it".  And so he did.  And me?  Well, I spent the next two days cleaning it.

This picture illustrates how dirty  the clock was.  I took the front off the fireplace and cleaned it. Quite a difference.

You can see how much build up is in the flowers on the the left hand side.

All cleaned up and reassembled.  Amazing how realistic the flames look when it is in motion!
