    Childhood clock

    We were lucky enough to find Bill on our first attempt to locate a clock repair shop. It was about three years ago when we took Bill our first clock. It is a late 1890's German clock one of two clocks from my parents estate. I can remember the clock on the wall when I was a child and loved the tone of the chime and the ticking of time passing. I was nervous to leave the clock with someone I did not know, until I met Bill. You could feel his enthusiasm and we were impressed by his knowledge and his willingness to answer all our questions. Bill is a true craftsman and passionate about his work. Over the last three years Bill has cleaned and serviced seven clock for us. He is honest as the day is long, his work is meticulous, and he goes the extra mile to educate his clients on the care and maintenance of their clocks. The most recent clock we took to Bill was a beautiful Vienna style 2 movement 1890's German clock. The case was warped, coming apart and had other damage. Bill was honest and said he would see what he could do to save it. It took some time for Bill to work his magic, he delivered the clock to us this past weekend. Master craftsman is the thought that came to mind when he set up the clock for us. The clock is magnificent! We are so happy we met Bill, he will be the only person to work on our clocks. We highly recommend Gesswin's Clocks for all your clock needs.

    This is the best. Mr Gasswein is the most competent and affable repairman I've ever seen during my 50 years of collecting clocks. 5 stars.

    Give yourself a lot of time to get lost! The Brass Armadillo Antique Mall is a true stroll through…read moretimes past. The amount of stuff in this mall is out of control -- my upcycling brain was on overdrive as I wandered about - so many options to give all this old stuff new life! The neighborhood is a little sketchy -- when I came in some lady was being accused of shoplifting and on the way out she was knocking things over and screaming at the top of her lungs - so that was something, LOL. They do have a little information kiosk when you arrive where you can grab a piece of paper that has a map of the store (the aisles have street names) and you can remind yourself where you saw something. They also have a little relaxation area with tables and chairs and restrooms -- which was nice, I always need to use the restroom! And it was well maintained. I did go right before Christmas and the place, to my surprise, was packed and the checkout line was very very long! But they seemed to be cycling people through fairly quickly. I didn't end up getting anything because I was on a schedule and didn't have time to really absorb it all -- so I will definitely be back when I have more time!

I'm someone who looks more on the "alternative" side, tattoos, plugs, piercings. I have worked my fair share of retail jobs and I know when i'm being targeted. I love Brass Armadillo, I always start out at the glass cases to the right when you first enter the building. As i'm browsing the cases an older woman walks up and shakes the case in front of my face to ensure it's locked. I take note. It happens two more times and after the third I asked the woman if there was a reason multiple workers have come up specifically where i am to shake the case door. She mumbled something under her breath about shift changes. Sure. I handed the woman the items in my hand and asked her to bring them up front for me because I intend on purchasing them and glared at her. Brass Armadillo needs to train their employees better and not profile people just because they look different. People! be mindful that the elderly employees here and low key racist and will profile you. Do better.

You're greeted as you enter, with a lanyard and number. That way, as you shop and pick out items, associates will take it to a storage room so you can enjoy shopping empty-handed and pick up all your wares as you check out My home is covered in plants, so the Gardenology theme drew me in this past month. Coming up next weekend, March 19-22, the show is themed. "Show and tell." Happy shopping!

This place is open one weekend a month and I usually miss the weekends they are open but this weekend (Dec 6 and 7, 2025), I randomly looked up if they would be open and they were open for a pop up! Sweet! I came in here on a Saturday morning around 10:30am and the back parking lot was almost already full! This place is popular and people know about this spot. I love their concept and they have a lot on offer especially now being the holidays! I spent a good hour looking at things and hopped in line around 11:30am and the line to pay was growing pretty long. Their process to purchase items is that you get a number at the door and then when you want something, find a helpful staff and they will take your items to the front for you. A nice concept especially if youre buying large items like furniture. Hard to describe what the style is here, maybe I could call it hobo cique or something like that. Either way, I found myself with a good amount of items and this place is lovely to holiday shop for friends and loved ones! Definitely come check it out! Its an awesome unique place with one of a kind items!

Decor, clothing, books, pictures, frames, toys, War memorabilia, musical instruments, jewelry, records, furniture, hardware, tools, stickers, and maybe a few other tchotchkes. They have special events that occasionally take place over the weekend. There's a senior day. They welcome pets and even encouraged me to bring mine in! Maybe someday I'll bring one of mine for the "Bull in the China Shop" experience. They have a restaurant here too so you can dine prior your shopping experience. Or after. They also have small shopping carts, but honestly there's no need since occasionally staff will pass and ask you if you would like the items you're carrying taken up front. And it doesn't take much to get large items moved because staff is so helpful. On special event weekends it gets noticeably busy. Parking lot fills and aisles become a bit crowded, so come early. Holidays are especially appealing when vendors dress up their booths with seasonal decor, especially the vintage items. Almost every time I shop here I find something to bring home.
