All I know is it's a J.E. Caldwell & Co. clock. I was given it from my grandmother. I think it's beautiful! It works, although I usually don't have it running. If anyone knows anything at all about this clock please let me know.
Thanks!

Welcome to CW!!! Great piece!!!
Thank you Moonstonelover 21! This is a great site!
I love these style clocks!
It is a beehive mantle clock. This style clock was very popular in the first quarter of the 20th century.
I wasn't familiar with Caldwell, so Idid a quick search-- they are a RETAILER in Philadelphia:

You may find the manufacturer marks on the inside of the case.

Sorry for the poor link-- I yield to the immense knowledge of phildaveal....
scott
Here is a link to phildaveal's wiki paste (unattributed, but I won't question your knowledge) on F.E. Caldwell of NYC:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_F._Caldwell_%26_Co.
While the Co. certainly may be related, I thought the discussion was about the Philadelphia firm of "J.E. Caldwell".

What is the source for: "Edward F. was a big part of the JE Caldwell firm, which worked together."
scott
What book?
scott
Book information?
scott
Several online clock resources cite "J.E. Caldwell & Co." as a retailer of clock. No source (that I have found) refers to them as manufacturers-- specific mention is made of clocks made in England and France, that they then retailed.
No mention is made of a connection to the later NY firm (nor is any connection mentioned in wiki).
scott
Book information?
Odd that a book title and source for: "Edward F. was a big part of the JE Caldwell firm, which worked together" has still not been provided.

Nice try!

Well I did try anyway so we can move past this Scott .
PDAM made comments about me in his posts.
I RESPONDED-- and that has upset you? So now YOU think it is important to "move past this". How about encouraging PDAM to "not go there"?
I make it a habit to avoid PDAM, but I will RESPOND to HIS negative comments.

From a National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors Message Board post:
"... I am actually surprised that there is not more detailed information on the clocks by E. F. Caldwell (not to be confused with the jeweler, J. E. Caldwell)."
http://mb.nawcc.org/archive/index.php/t-95862.html
The book "Philadelphia and Popular Philadelphians," Philadelphia: The North American, 1891, page 125, does not mention any association of a "Edward F. Caldwell with the firm J. E. Caldwell & Co.

Can someone tell me more about this clock? I know it’s Caldwell & Co. Made in France but sold in Philadelphia and numbers 3166. 5. 9.
Thank you.
What a gorgeous clock... you should really set it up and enjoy the ticking and chimes!
