    Description

    THE CLOCK BOOK
    by Wallace Nutting, Modern Books and Crafts Inc., CT, 1924/1935/1975.
    “Over 250 admirable photographs and cuts of celebrated and unusual old clocks embellish the book, undoubtedly the most comprehensive collection of reproductions of this sort ever published.  In addition, an authoritative index of clockmakers, both American and English, forms an important part of the work.”
    ”This book is justly famous.  For many years Dr. Nutting has made a hobby of studying and collecting old clocks.  In this interesting and informative volume he sets down the fruits of his long experience.  This fabulous reference book contains 312 pages of text, with over 250 illustrations of American and Foreign Clocks, and a list of their makes.  Profusely illustrated in black-and-white, this book pictures and describes 250 different clocks including grandfather and grandmother clocks, banjo and lyre clocks, mantle, shelf, and bracket clocks, hall clocks, water clocks, lighthouse clocks, pillar and scroll clocks, wag-on-the-wall clocks, lantern clocks, and many more.
    7.25” x 10.2” hardback with dust cover in very good condition. 312 pages.
