Hello

I just came accross this BBS and the name Broolyn stuck a
cord. I am in the process of trying to restore an electric
animated clock made in 1956 and which was manufactured by
United Clock Corp. of Brooklyn, NY, a maker of electric
clocks in the 1930's - 1960's. This particular model is a
western style. It is a carriage (coach type) pulled by 4
horses. The coach driver is animated, his right arm swings a
whip (I guess, it is missing) and the horses are (were)
fully rigged and there is a light on the top of the coach as
well. I am in dire need of some documentation (catalog,
pictures etc) so I can proceed with my restoration project.
Any type of help or suggestions will be appreciated, so that
I can restore this relique of Americana.

Thanks

Will
