Avete,<br>
I understand that this is not very Roman but, could some of you, Dutch or/and related with antiquities' dealing, help me in my quest (no hurry) for a stoelklok with verge escapement and vertical crown-wheel. In fact I don't know which is the range of prices of these clocks, I've seen some offered in Internet, but prices in dollars use to mean 'swollen prices' and I'd like to know if all of them are so out of my economical reach or not!<br>
Many thanks,<br>

For the sake of those of us from the fringes the colonial backwaters, what is a Stoelklock?<br>

It's a Dutch thing, actually.. 'Chair-clock' would be a literal translation.<br>

One with phases of the moon! (Drying my keyboard again!)<br>
That one is clearly out of my reach!<br>

Oh, yes, Robert, I'll print eight 'violet ones' in a few minutes and I'll go for the clock then!<br>

Oh yes, sure!<br>
BTW, do you prefer all of them with the same number or with a different number each one?<br>

Yes, Antoninus.<br>
That is EXACTLY the kind of clock I'm looking for!<br>
Unfortunately, not at that price...<br>

Mmmmh, I've found a few ones on Dutch webpages but it is difficult to understand what are they saying, except for the prices...<br>
BTW, what does 'mooie' mean?<br>
