This is the most difficult dial restoration I have ever accomplished. The dial is that of a clock I own, an English drop dial clock, 12" in diameter. When I bought this clock the dial had been crudely over-painted with an enamel paint. The botched restoration itself evidently was many decades old. Virtually all the paint needed to be painstakingly removed, yet the position and exact size of the numerals needed to be retained to preserve the original character of this hand painted dial. I'm pleased to show my skill at an extreme dial restoration (But don't ask how many hours it took!)
