A New Old Clock

About two years ago I was walking around downtown and saw an old clock on a street corner and took some photos.  Not too long after, I was at the same corner and the clock had disappeared.  The city has been making street improvements so I figured it had been moved to another location.  In reality, it had been shipped off (to California?) for restoration and was finally re-installed in the past month.  So I was in the area last week and stopped by and it looks like a new clock- maybe too new as you can see here-

Jacobs Jewelers Clock (1901), Jacksonville, Florida

Shown in the before/after they cleaned off some rust and repainted, but also replaced the hands and glass light fixtures.  I think I like the weathered look better…
