Book 2,159 – Antique Clocks and Clock Collecting by Eric Bruton

Description

Antique Clocks and Clock Collecting
by Eric Bruton. Written especially for the ordinary collector, this book shows that one does not have to be rich to enjoy starting and building up a collection of clocks. Many kinds of timepiece will, of course, be out of reach, but there are also unexplored fields waiting only to be discovered and tilled by the adventurous collector. The author shows the beginner how to avoid pitfalls that beset the inexperienced collector and is generous with his advice on who to trust and seek reliable information. Technicalities are carefully explained as they occur, so that descriptions of the many different clocks and their mechanisms can be followed without difficulty. The book ends with a valuable section on the care and maintenance of antique clocks in the home. 96 pages. Copyright 1974. Hard cover with jacket. Excellent condition. – Book 2,159
