Antique Clocks: Wall Clocks for Home & Office

Video Transcript

"We've spent the time, until now, mostly talking about mantel clocks and shelf clocks but it doesn't mean that we aren't going to talk about wall clocks too, which are just as important and probably, these days, I've been selling more wall clocks than mantel clocks. There were really distinctions between what was going to hang in your home and what was going to hang in an office or public space and a lot of the truly collectible clocks now, were originally designed for commercial places, for schools, for banks, for post offices, for railroads stations. This is an example, certainly, of one that originally was not intended to hang in anyones home and back in Victorian days or even later, when this clock was made, no one would think that this would be an appropriate clock to hang in a part of your house but this is a turn of the century regulator clock that was made by Little and Eastman, we'll talk about that as an important small company but there were other big companies making these same kinds of wall clocks at the time. We'll also look at the types of wall clocks that maybe you would expect to see more in homes than in offices, like this one."
