Question
I need a set of three grandfather weights for a Fenclocks Saxham "A". Back of movement reads FHS in clock face with GERMANY at the bottom, below the numbers 1151-0504
                                        94cm
                                        55.00

Can you let me know the approx cost of each weight and the weight of each one? and any retailers in the London area UK.

Best Regards Ben Nash

Answer
I can't help you with cost, I can help you as to weight requirements.  Your clock movement was produced by Franz Hermle and Sons.  Model 1151-050 shows two weight configurations as follows;  With Lyre pend; Time train 4.7 lbs, Striking Train 4.7 lbs, Chiming train 7.3 lbs.  With Lyre Pend & sec hand; Time train 7.3 lbs, Striking train 4.7 lbs, 7.3 lbs.  As to pricing and availability I suggest you contact Meadows and Passmore, LTD., Medmawhouse Farningham Road, Crowborough, East Sussex TN6 2JP, UK.
