Small New Haven clock

[ejc544]

This morning, I purchased a small New Haven shelf clock from a local thrift shop. It measures 6 1/4 inches tall by 5 1/4 inches wide. The clock is not an alarm clock. The devise regulating the speed has dissapeared. However, the mainspring and hairspring are running. I removed the movement from the case and dial and could find no other markings. The metalic dial face indicates that it is a 12 day clock made by New Haven in the USA.

The case is made out of wood and its "shoulders" contain round holes that must have contained a knob or some other type of ornament .

Any idease about the date of this clock, its model name, or the materials that were originally in its "shoulders" would be greatly appreciated.

I hope that the following pictures will be of some help.

Thank you,

Ed Cypress

Ed,
It looks like you have part of the "Gothic Boudior" model. The image below if from Tran's book. No date is given, but the style makes me think the 20s.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the information. I felt that something was missing since the clock could not stand upright, but rather leans back at a 45 degree angle.
