Eighteenth Century Thirty-Hour Willard Clocks, 1770-1790
Eighteenth Century Thirty-Hour Willard Clocks, 1770-1790
This 46-page catalog documents twelve of the earliest examples of the 18th century clocks made by Simon (1753-1848) and Aaron (1757-1844) Willard in Grafton and Roxbury, Massachusetts. Today, fewer than three dozen of these early clocks are known to survive. Simon Willard charged ten dollars for this clock in the 1780's; today, they are among the most highly prized examples of the early work of Willard clockmakers. The soft cover book contains over 70 illustrations and graphs, mostly in color.
