New Haven Clock Co., Referee, circa 1910-20

New Haven Clock Co., Referee 8-day store regulator made for the "Greater New York Clock Co." {on dial} by New Haven Clock Co. The time only brass movement with recoil escapement has the New Haven trademark stamp. There is no label. The Deeply pressed wood case has darkened over the years but appears to have it's original finish. Original paper dial has age appropriate blemishes but is in surprisingly good condition. The pendulum is original. The hands are in excellent condition and could also be original. The glasses are original. The lower glass is labeled "STANDARD TIME" and the lettering is original and untouched.

I acquired the clock in May 2011 from the grandson of a good friend of mine now deceased. The case was gently cleaned. The movement was disassembled, cleaned and several pivot bushings installed. The brass over cast iron pendulum bob was polished and the clock adjusted and set to running. It is a strong running clock and a great time keeper. The last three owners are all known to me and all are local people. This clock has been a part of my community for a very long time and I am very pleased to have it. .
