Clocks
Backstory:
I started collecting and repairing clocks at the beginning of 2024 after I restored one for my Mother as a Christmas present. I fell in love with the intricacy of the movements and the story each clock tells.
1910s Sessions "Eclipse" calendar clock.
This clock is 35 inches tall and the red hand points to the day of the month on the outer ring.
1935 Revere electric Westminster chime clock with Telechron B-3 motor.
The General Electric version of this clock was made during the same time period, however, the majority of this style went to General Electric, making the Revere version an unusual clock made for only one year.
1840s Chauncey Jerome ogee 30-hour weight-driven clock.
This clock was owned by a family in Pequot Lakes, Minnesota, who brought it along from New England in the 1860s. The door to the case features a reverse-painted golden swan with a black background.
1920s Junghans musical carriage alarm clock.
This clock plays "Home! Sweet home!" at the time designated by the smaller dial at the bottom of the main dial. Unlike other clocks, this clock uses a balance wheel to meter the release of the mainsprings which allows it to be carried and moved without stopping.
New Haven "Auris Strike."
1910s Ingraham mantel clock.
Late 1800s Gilbert "Parisian" clock.
This clock has an imitation mercury pendulum. The hours and half hours are chimed on a bell.
1920s Sessions Westminster No. 1.
This clock plays the Westminster chime on an unusual two-train movement.
New Haven bim-bam clock.
This clock chimes the hours and half hours on two tuned rods.
1900s EN Welch black mantel clock made "Expressly for the American Wringer Co."
The American Wringer Company was an early 19th/early 20th century company that manufactured hand-cranked laundry wringers. This clock was sold as part of a promotion by the company.
Late 1800s Waturbury kitchen clock.
This clock originally had a barometer on the left side and a thermometer on the right side. There are instructions on the back for predicting the weather based on the characteristics the barometer displays.
1920s Sessions "Cambridge" mantel clock.
This clock has an attractive iveroid dial instead of paper dials commonly found in this type of clock.
Large Hubert Herr quail cuckoo clock.
The quail in the left door signifies the quarter-hours and the cuckoo in the right door signifies the hour. This clock was my great-great-grandmother's.
Ingraham black mantel clock.
This movement is an example of a typical time and strike mantle clock.
"Big Ben" by Westclox alarm clock movement.
