Nelson Fox Chapel Publishing Co., Inc. 1970 Broad Street4 dt POMEROY CLOCK AND SHELF HARTFORD, CT. 1886 This is a clock I saw in a magazine years ago. Only two or three originals were made so I knew they were very rare. A year or so ago, I had a chance to purchase one, so I jumped at the chance. This set of plans were drawn up directly from my Pomeroy clock. Note it comes with a beautiful matching shelf.

The original clock was flown in from Hawaii to an auction in Boston, Massachusetts. In transit the original was destroyed. When I bought this clock it was in small pieces - it was given to me in three large plastic sandwich bags. Most pieces were smaller than a half dollar in size. It took me two and a half weeks to figure out what went where -- talk about putting together a puzzle! I know, people at the auction where I bought the clock must have thought I was crazy!

I had just enough of the pieces to figure out what was missing, It was fun bringing back something from our past that by rights, should have been taken to the dump. T think itis one of the prettiest “wall clocks” I have ever seen, The original was made of mahogany and believe it or not screwed together with large hideous brass screws.
