Question
Hi

I have a ingraham clock in excellent condition but the bubble glass is broken, i try to fund this but i never find. Where is possible to find this in Quebec or on Internet Thanks


Answer
Hi Hugues,

Most good clock supply houses carry a wide selection of circular convex glass. If this is what you are looking for, you could try  Timesavers (www.timesavers.com), Merritts Antiques (www.merritts.com) or Empire Clock (www.empireclock.com), for starters.

However, the term "bubble glass" is also used to describe various sizes and styles of convex square, rectangular and odd-shaped glass, as well as circular glass with unusual dome curves. These glasses will be dificult, and sometimes impossible to find.  http://www.clockmasteronline.com
