They date from the late 1700s through the 1800s. The clock movements were made in the Mora area of Sweden.<\/p>\n<p>They are eight-day clock movements. That means they only have to be wound once a week.<\/p>\n<p>Mora clocks have two weights, one for the pendulum and the other the striking mechanism for the bell. The face of the clock has two keyholes to wind the weights back up.<\/p>\n<p>The pendulum swings, the weights lower, the hands move. There are more detailed descriptions if you want to google for them. Or you can open an old clock and see.<\/p>\n<p>The weights are very heavy, made of cast iron.<\/p>\n<p>Probably more than 50,000 Mora clock mechanisms were made. They were sold without the case. Cases were made all over and they are often quite different.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ebay.us\/TCCqdu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mora Clocks on eBay &gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Photos of Mora Clocks<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3746\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3746\" style=\"width: 121px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.projectsmallhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/%C3%96lsbo-Clock.jpg?ssl=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3746 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.projectsmallhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/%C3%96lsbo-Clock.jpg?resize=121%2C500&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\u00d6lsbo Clock in Mj\u00f6b\u00e4cks Church, V\u00e4sterg\u00f6tland, Sweden Photo by G\u00f6sta Imberg - More Mora Clocks - Project Small House\" width=\"121\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3746\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00d6lsbo Clock<br \/>Photo by G\u00f6sta Imberg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3731\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3731\" style=\"width: 333px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.projectsmallhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/%C3%96lsboklocka.jpg?ssl=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3731 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.projectsmallhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/%C3%96lsboklocka.jpg?resize=333%2C500&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\u00d6lsbo Clock in Mj\u00f6b\u00e4cks Church, V\u00e4sterg\u00f6tland, Sweden Photo by G\u00f6sta Imberg - More Mora Clocks - Project Small House\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.projectsmallhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/%C3%96lsboklocka.jpg?resize=333%2C500&amp;ssl=1 333w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.projectsmallhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/%C3%96lsboklocka.jpg?w=341&amp;ssl=1 341w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 333px) 100vw, 333px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3731\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00d6lsbo Clock in Mj\u00f6b\u00e4cks Church, V\u00e4sterg\u00f6tland, Sweden<br \/>Photo by G\u00f6sta Imberg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Usually Mora clocks have this shape.
