This belonged to my great grandparents. Im not sure what’s year it was made. Isn’t love to find out! It’s a little rough looking as it has survived a house leveling from a hurricane in 1970. It does still work. I think it has to eb wound daily. Im sooooo not familiar with these new clocks!!
Sorry about the photos being turned . The yard show right side up on my pho w
The door looks like the door on my circa. 1895 New Haven "Dandy Line". Case is very different, though.
Hi. Your heirloom clock is from New Haven's "Camden Line". Three different models made up this line. Your example was referred to as "A". This line is from circa 1907 although your clock could have been made several years before or after that date. All three models were made from Oak. Yours seems rather dark. Has it been stained recently? The movement is an 8-day time and strike mechanism which means it was designed to run one full week on a winding. If it hasn't been examined and oiled recently you might want to take it to a good clock shop for an evaluation. If, that is, you intend to run it.
Thanks for sharing your heirloom with us. If that solves your mystery please indicate "Mystery Solved" in your posting. I think there is a little check box of something.
Regards,
Bruce
