Indian Wells antique restoration by Museum Quality Restoration Services

This Indian Wells antique restoration was a comprehensive restoration and repair project. A vintage neon wall-clock from the mid-century modern era, this clock had tremendous sentimental value to the client.  My client wrote me this review as a letter of appreciation for the finished work:

“I had an old wall clock, 65-years old. It belonged to my father and hung on the wall of his shoe store for 35 years. It had great sentimental value to me. Unfortunately, it had moved several times and been in storage.  It was badly beaten up. The glass was broken, hands bent, parchment type of lettering torn. The only thing that worked was a neon bulb. Mark Fry of Museum Quality Restoration was able to take the clock apart and restore the clock without touching the neon. The glass was replaced, hands were replaced, but the most difficult was the translucent lettering from the 1950’s. Mark detailed out several templates until he was able to reproduce an exact replica of “translucent” lettering. He allowed the neon to shine through beautifully. Now the clock hangs in my office and I look at the same time my father looked at 65 years ago.” – Thank you Mark Fry.
