About Gong Use in Clocks:

Gongs like this one have been traditionally used in mantle and bracket clocks to mark the hour and half-hour with a rich chime. The flat wire gong was especially popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s, chosen for its ability to produce a clear and pleasing tone. Typically mounted inside the clock case, the hammer would strike the gong to produce the chime, a sound that clock enthusiasts associate with quality antique clocks.

This antique gong and base is perfect for restorers and collectors looking to bring authentic sound and historical accuracy to their clocks.
