Early American Clocks
by Edwin G. Warman. Here is a worthy collection of little-known facts for all who are interested in early American clocks, which makes an excellent reference book for the beginner as well as the advanced clock collector. The pages are filled with many details and illustrations covering early clocks, telling of their mechanical arrangements, from wooden movements to electrical, from wagon spring to fuzee, and from Hollow Column to OG cases. This edition will add to the knowledge of all who want to know more about American clocks, their makers and the region and period in which they worked. The stories are not necessarily in sequence, though the book falls generally in this category, for each chapter is complete in itself, and material will be found to be inter-related. 79 pages. Soft cover. Copyright 1971. Good condition.
·
Clocks & Watches
by E.J. Tyler. During the period in which timekeepers have been made, certain types have become more well-known than others – for good performance, bad performance, cheapness, high price, and so on. This book deals with a selection of some well-known types. However well or badly they function, or however rapidly or slowly they beat, each in its own way forms an integral part of the history of time measurement. This book presents 40 different types of timepieces, from turret clocks to military watches. 80 pages. Hard cover. Copyright 1974. Excellent condition.
A Connoisseur’s Guide to Antique Clocks & Watches
by Ronald Pearsall. From the earliest history of the clock (sand clocks and lantern clocks), long-case clocks, mantel and wall clocks, to watches and portable clocks and even modern timepieces, this magnificent guide, illustrated with more than 100 full-color photographs, will introduce the potential collector to a truly fascinating field. 123 pages. Hard cover with jacket. Copyright 1997. The jacket is good condition. The rest of the book is in excellent condition. – Book 1,613
