[MassHistPres] Steeple Clock Restoration Advice

[Robert Busch]

The Town of Bolton owns a clock that is installed in a local church 
steeple. The clock has run in recent years but is not currently 
operational and needs both exterior maintenance/restoration and some 
work on the mechanism.

We have been approached by an Eagle Scout candidate who would like to 
restore the clock as his Eagle Scout Project.  The focus will be on the 
exterior aspects, specifically painting the dial and hands and gold leaf 
numerals. We are generally in favor of the project subject to approving 
detailed plans and methods.

The Bolton Historical Commission is seeking information, advice, and 
recommendations from other Towns who may have done similar clock projects.

Thanks in advance,

Bob Busch
