SOUTHERN CALENDAR CLOCK CO.
FASHION MODEL #4

CIRCA 1880
DIALS original painted dials... these have not been repainted and do show slight crazing and some chips around the winding holes
CASE walnut
MOVEMENT  spring driven 8 day Seth Thomas time and strike
DESCRIPTION  

 Seth Thomas produced these clocks using their best time movements, Andrews calendar mechanisms, and clock cases with features specified by the Culver brothers of St. Louis, Mo. who marketed the clocks under the Southern Calendar Clock Co. name. They advertised the fact that Fashion clocks would run at least 100 years. They missed it a little; this one is running after 129 years. Each of the Fashions was slightly different. This No. 4 was the last model using the short pendulum. It varied slightly from the No. 3 in that the pendulum and seconds bit were different. Fashion dials, like most Seth Thomas dials, did not hold their paint well. Most by this time have been repainted, this one has not. Walnut case is 32 inches high and retains the original finish.  All three finials are correct replacements.  8 day movement is running nicely, strikes a large brass bell on the hours, and the calendar movement is functioning as it should.

If you are a fussy collector this is a clock you should not pass up!!! This clock has no issues other than the finials...

Warren Telechron Co. Master Clock Type B
CIRCA 1920
DIAL silvered brass  11 inch
CASE oak original  34 inch height
MOVEMENT  electric and spring
DESCRIPTION This is a rather unique clock. It was used in electrical power plants. The large hand is a voltage meter I believe. The left small dial is the hour and the right small dial is a 5 minute dial. An operator in the plant would watch this to see if the voltage meter went down they would increase the rpms to stabilize the voltage or amperage. It was also a master clock to control all of the clocks in the facility.

General Electric was 50 % stock holder in this company. The later models had only General Electric on the dials. This particular clock has the original door key.

DIAL 17 inch marble
CASE wood
MOVEMENT  30 day double spring single arbor wind movement

click on thumbnail for a larger photo of the movement

DIMENSIONS case is 24 inches high and 54 inches long
COMMENTS These movements were never sold, they were rented for use with calendar and other precise timepieces... their reputation was for accuracy and they competed successfully with the eclectically connected and synchronized clocks of other companies.... these clocks were found in libraries, train stations, ferry terminals and court houses ... not for sale but always looking for others of this style or interest. This one came from Grand Central Station when they converted to electric clocks.
