Nice finish, and they look good
These are mostly the size of a quarter, some as small as a nickel. They have a nice antiqued finish on one side,the other side is finely textured. Like all of the faux effect things in this line, these are well made and work well for scrapbooking and altered art. They look nicer than the real thing because they were designed with art in mind and newly manufactured. They aren't flimsy and hold up just fine in most jewelry applications without bending or breaking.

If you don't have the time, here's a good source
I got these before I began tearing apart clocks for gears. I have to say that if you don't have the time or tools to take on a clock dissection, this is a good alternative.Pros: - smooth gears make for easy attachment to whatever your project is. - decent metal construction. These aren't brass gears, but they do look ok. - decent assortment for your projects.Cons: - they are a bit contrived- real clockwork gears are nicer in my own opinion. - no real size variance. - not brass means they don't age or have any decent patina.I wouldn't buy again, but that is because I now 'make' my own by tearing down old clocks. For many, this is a good alternative.
