P.P.S.
Ok, I'll shut up after a fashion, but what came into mind is the clock repairer. I consider it a avocation rather than a profession these days as people freak out when you charge them a couple of hundred dollars to clean and do minor repairs on mechanical clock movements. Believe me, one could make more money as a counter person at McDonalds!
Try finding a clock repairer these days.
The worse thing is that the standard mass production American clocks made from the 1860s to the 1910s aren't worth very much; on occasion the repair bill is higher than the value of the clock!
