CLOCKS AT WINTERTHUR
National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors Educational Symposium
OCTOBER 6-8, 2016
This year’s NAWCC Ward Francillon Time Symposium
will be presented at the world-famous Winterthur
Museum, Garden and Library in Wilmington, Delaware.
Winterthur boasts a premier collection of 90,000
decorative and fine arts objects made or used in America
between 1640 and 1860. Its creator, Henry Francis du
Pont (1880-1969), had a special interest in clocks, and
he acquired many fine examples. Since his passing, more
clocks have been added to the collection — now over
100. This conference will be the first at Winterthur to focus
exclusively on its horological holdings. Some clocks not
usually on display will be shown in a special exhibit.
M AY/ J U N E 2 016 N AWC C M a r t & H i g h l i g h t s
Professor Thomas Allen, author of the 2008 book
A Republic in Time, will give the James Arthur Lecture.
Morrison Hecksher, curator emeritus of the American
Wing, Metropolitan Museum of Art, will be the
banquet speaker.

Jeffrey Lock, Ronald Hoppes, Elizabeth Mallin,
Richard Newman, Philip Poniz, David Wood, and
Philip Zimmerman will highlight the makers, regions,
craftsmanship, and cultural significance of Winterthur’s
important clocks and watches.
Charles Hummel, Donald Fennimore, Ann Wagner, Joshua Lane, and Lisa Minardi, current and
emeritus Winterthur Museum curators, also will give presentations. Winterthur conservator Mark
Anderson will describe his work on an important 18th-century Peter Stretch longcase clock acquired by
the museum in 2004. Attendees will be welcomed by Winterthur Executive Director David Roselle.
Space is limited in the museum auditorium and at the Saturday evening dinner hosted by the
prestigious Wilmington Country Club; sign up early.

SHOW AND TELL: Steve Watson showed a Tiffany carriage
clock he received 15 years ago that has a Chinese battery
movement in it.
Eric Dostaler showed a 1959 Swiss-made cuckoo clock that
has a boy climbing a ladder to reach his girlfriend in a window
while being chased by the girl’s father carrying a pitchfork.
Phil Keys showed a double mainspring, 8-day, Seth Thomas
boiler room clock with a balance wheel escapement.
Ed Serge brought a handmade, weight-driven early American
banjo clock that is about 180 years old. It has a reverse painted
glass and had been whittled out in a small shop. The maker is
unknown. The early banjo clocks only have one wind hole at 2
o’clock.
Bert Townsend showed an unusual clock signed “Schmidt”
and an Enfield grandfather clock movement from London,
which he had cleaned and found difficult to put back together.
Bob Stoll found an old brass-plated ceiling lamp in an alley by
a neighbor’s garbage can. He cut out a frame and, using his vast
assortment of miscellaneous clock parts, put together a clock
with a C-cell quartz movement. Unfortunately, after it was finished, the clock fell and the glass on the dial cracked. Bob also
brought a voice recorder with a clock in it he purchased at a
garage sale for 25 cents. —Roger Lehman

FEBRUARY MEETING: Thirty-five members and three
guests attended the February 21 meeting. George Gaglini received a Certificate of Appreciation for his service as Chapter
president for the past two years.
SHOW AND TELL: Mike Schmidt showed the 1849 Berge &
Peck triple-decker clock with all original tablets and interesting
backboard and labeling.
.Mark Harmeling showed novelty clocks purchased at the
Maritime Museum in Greenwich, England.
.Matt Bonoccorso shared a Congreve clock with single

.Gary Girard gave an in-depth tour of the Great Northern
Train Model he has created using wood and metal from clocks.
Some of the cars, besides the engine and caboose, included a
tank car and a circus animal car.
FEBRUARY PROGRAM: Ferdinand Geitner demonstrated
how to successfully repair a broken fancy Vienna regulator
minute hand. He gave the tools and material required and then
aligned carefully the pieces and soldered them together.
JANUARY MEETING: Forty members and five guests
attended the meeting. The Chapter gained two new members.
CHAPTER WORKSHOP:Virginia Norwood led a workshop on the helical springs used for various purposes to activate or restore levers in a movement. One should ascertain
first whether each spring should be there at all. She brought
a Gilbert curfew movement that has three bona fide springs
as an example of the different functions of the springs.Various spring wire sizes were passed around, and the method of
winding the wire to form the springs was demonstrated.
JANUARY PROGRAM: Rodney Baker gave the story of the
restoration of the Santa Barbara Courthouse clock
and the transformation of the clock room. The Seth Thomas
tower clock movement was purchased in 1929, but without
bells. Bells would have been too heavy for the platform to be
used. The time movement was used for approximately 80 years
to drive hands on the four dials of the tower. After this time
many parts of the clock were severely worn, and a complete
overhaul was in order.
Chapter members undertook the clock restoration in 2011.
In addition to the clock movement restoration, another group
decided to clear out the room that had been accumulating
unrelated “junk” and make a gallery of the enclosing room. Because the room was easily accessible by stairs and elevator, it
was decided that the walls would be decorated with a painting
of the history of telling time from Stonehenge to Seth Thomas
starting his own company.
Many boxes of parts pertaining to the chime and strike
trains were stashed in the courthouse basement. A few of
these parts had been used through the years when similar
parts had worn, but they were essentially intact. These were
cleaned and polished to provide signals for striking and starting chimes. For the reasons mentioned above, the bell sounds
are provided by recordings of the Stork Tower chimes at University of California at Santa Barbara. These have proved to be
so realistic that listeners have not detected the difference.
The clock weights are lifted by motors, and the movement
trains are inspected and cleaned monthly. Bryan Mumford has
been central to the regulation of the clock and has fitted it
with monitors based on the MicroSet™. He has found that the
clock keeps time within one second a month. Rodney guides
visitors through the gallery and describes the clock and the
murals. Interested groups can make an appointment to take
the tour. —Sue Gary

Much of the restoration has been accomplished: works cleaned
and running; replacement chimes found, installed, and now
striking; and new glass added to the case. The second project
recently started is work on the University of Denver’s observatory clocks. Ken Gfeller, Charles Daldry, Bill Dillon, and others have cleaned the sidereal clock and it is now running. Some
pivot work needs to be done on one of the other clocks.
SHOW AND TELL: Along with other assorted items, members brought three interesting German watch movements,
an English cylinder movement, and a ¾-size Parkinson and
Frodsham marine chronometer.
JANUARY PROGRAM: Members watched an NAWCC
video Disassembly and Reassembly of a Swiss Watch Movement by
Ken Pell, which showed the steps and techniques for disassembling and reassembling a Swiss watch movement.

JANUARY MEETING: Members met January 16. Despite a
chilly rain, members did not complain, considering the weather
for previous January meetings.
The following items were in the mart: a weight-driven 30hour time, strike, and alarm, wood movement shelf clock by
Wells Forbs, Bristol, NH, with a label dated 1842; a loose tall
clock dial signed “Bevan / 23 Argyle St. / Birkenhead”; a miniature bird-in-a-cage clock with alarm, circa 1900, of German
origin, with an 8-day movement, and two horizontal dials above
the bird, one showing hours and one minutes; a “Tidey Furnace
Clock,” with the patent date of March 23, 1923, on its dial,
part of a device used to close the flue of a coal-fired furnace; a
“tape measure” clock; and a “Zig et Puce” (French comic book
characters) animated and musical alarm clock dating
to circa 1940.
JANUARY PROGRAM: Typically, the January meetings do
not include a speaker. Instead, members enjoyed chatting
about the holidays, repair issues, recent auctions, and exhibits.
Members learned that a new exhibit of clocks and watches
designed specifically for royal customers is about to, or has
recently opened, at the Metropolitan Museum in New York
City. Closer to home, Ships, Clocks, and Stars, a loan exhibition
from the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich, England,
continues on display at Mystic Seaport in Mystic, CT, until
March 28, 2016, and will travel next to Sydney, Australia, the
final stop on the exhibit’s world tour. —Mary Jane Dapkus

FEBRUARY MEETING: Members met February 17.
FEBRUARY PROGRAM: Chapter members were instructed to come prepared to speak for about five minutes on a topic of horological interest that started with the letters A to E.
The presenters came from varied backgrounds: two physicians,
a pipe fitter, a dentist, an organic chemist, an industrial chemist,
a woodworker and author, a clockmaker, and a watch collector.
Their topics were equally diverse and interesting:
Atmos clock: how and why it works using Ethyl chloride (scoring double points for additional letter use)
Anelemma: a diagrammatical representation of the difference
between mean solar time and true solar time
(i.e., equation of time)
Balance bench: a unique tool to support the balance wheel of a
watch during repair
Cousin: how a family relative first introduced the presenter to
horology
Chauncey Jerome: the ups and downs of this clockmaker and
businessman
Clutch on Morbier fan: the importance of having slippage
occur in the fan to prevent wear on the pivot of the preceding
wheel
Dashboard clock on an antique car: restoring a dashboard
clock that behaves more like an oversized pocket watch
Deck watch: a watch that was used by Navy sailors in World
War II
Electronic rotors: how to service a telechron rotor used in
electric clocks
Electric railway watches: pocket watches used by trolley system employees that kept the trolleys operating on time
The successful meeting illustrated the depth and breadth
of the members’ knowledge and increased anticipation for a
future meeting to challenge members.
JANUARY MEETING: Members met January 27.
JANUARY PROGRAM: Kim Jovinelli, curator of the National Watch and Clock Museum in Columbia, PA, gave a
presentation about the Museum. She appreciates the intricacies and artwork that goes into the creation of timepieces.
The Museum has an international collection that encompasses
timepieces from Asia, Europe, and North America. The collection has been enhanced over the years through the generosity
of patrons, NAWCC members, and acquisitions. Kim believes
that through these clocks and watches we can document our
history. She answered questions during and after her informal
presentation. —John Riabov

German, and older tallcase clocks. He also showed different
methods to hold the shafts while drilling and turning the new
pivot. Several types of steady rests are necessary for re-pivoting. He explained how they work and the advantages and
disadvantages of each type. A good drilling tail stock is helpful
to have when re-pivoting, but a simple pin vise can also accom-

FEBRUARY MEETING: Members met February 5.
FEBRUARY PROGRAM: Mark Will gave a presentation
about the American Clock and Watch Museum in Bristol,
CT, which he and his family toured while they were in the Boston area. The Old Mass State House had a Simon Willard clock
in the top of the building. It was not very accurate because it
lost about seven minutes a week. Hanging on the balcony in
the Old South Meeting House was a reproduction of a Simon
Willard gilt, eagle-topped clock. The original clock, with an
unmarked Simon Willard movement, was moved to Old South
Church when the Puritan congregation relocated, and a reproduction was placed in the Old South Meeting House. A similar
Simon Willard clock also exists in the White House. The Old
North Church has a clock made in 1726 by Avery & Bennett,
which is believed to be the oldest continuously running American-made clock in the United States.
The American Watch and Clock Museum was started on
October 24, 1954, and now is home to the largest—more
than 1,500 pieces—collection of American-made clocks in
the world. Mark showed pictures of many of the clocks and
watches, including an original sign of Daniel Burnap to whom
Eli Terry was an apprentice; a vertical black sign with gold leaf
lettering for “E. Ingraham Co.” found in the attic of the house
of Elias Ingraham’s grandson, William S. Ingraham; a Howard &
Chapter 63 member Ted Hand gave a presentation about pinwheel escapements in the January meeting.
Davis astronomical clock bought in 1905; and Howard Cosmic
24-hour clock. The case of the Howard Cosmic clock looked
like a Howard 70, but it had a window on each hour that
showed Roman numerals for hours 1-12 and Arabic numerals
for hours 13-24. Mark also visited the gravesites, took photographs, and recorded the GPS coordinates of several eighteenth- and nineteenth-century clockmakers who are buried
in Bristol. The American Watch and Clock Museum’s website
includes a video tour of its artifacts.
JANUARY MEETING: Members met January 8.
JANUARY PROGRAM: Ted Hand gave an interesting detailed presentation on pinwheel escapements. He showed
pictures of the Hancock Meeting House in Hancock, NH, a
huge building with a high steeple that housed a large four-sided
E. Howard clock. The Hancock Meeting House has a semicircle barn on the back side that people could rent out stalls for
their horse and carriages.
Ted showed pictures of his Ansonia No. 16 jeweler’s regulator with a pinwheel escapement and told the story of how J.D.
was driving through Winfield, KS, and saw the case on someone’s front porch. The owners were in the process of putting
shelves in the case, but J.D. stopped them before they damaged
the case. He wanted to buy it and they agreed on a price. Later,
J.D. sold the case to Ted, who received help from Scott Childs
to find a pinwheel movement for the case. It is hanging and
running well. Ted explained how air density affects a clock, so
he checked the air density and adjusted the time accordingly.
The inventor of the pinwheel escapement is uncertain. Some
say Jean A. LePaute of Paris in 1753; others say Frenchman
Louis Avant from Morbier, France, in 1741. Morbier is very
close to the Swiss border. Most pinwheel escapements were
made in France or Switzerland. However, Waterbury Clock Co.
in its 1891 catalog stated that it made this pinwheel escapement for its regulators, and Seth Thomas Clock Co. made
many of its early tower clocks with pinwheel escapements.
Most pinwheel escapements are not marked, and almost all
pinwheel escapements used in jeweler’s regulators are housed
in a metal box. Instead of teeth the escape wheel has pins out
horizontally at right angles to the face of the wheel; these fall
on pallets with concentric circular locking faces, set one above
the other, with lifting faces nearly opposite each other. This
escapement was used in many French regulators and tower
clocks, but its popularity declined largely because keeping
it oiled is difficult. Ted explained the details of the seconds
pendulum.
Ted cautioned pinwheel escapement clock owners to stop
the clock if they are away for a long time instead of just letting
it run down. The pendulum is so heavy that it can bend pins if
the clock runs down. Most jeweler’s regulators with a pinwheel escapement have a sweep second hand. —Jim Price
JANUARY MEETING: Members met January 16. Newly
elected President Terry Downs introduced herself and told
of her interest in clocks and watches and how she learned to
repair timepieces by starting as an apprentice and gaining years
of experience. The other Chapter officers were presented:
Steve Barnes, vice president; Nick Bonura, treasurer; Mary
Locantro, secretary; and Joe Orth, Ann Boyd, and
Warren George, directors.
JANUARY PROGRAM: The show and tell program featured
carriage clocks. On display were a dual-function carriage clock
with a timepiece on one side and a barometer-compass on
the other side; a mini-mini clock with an enameled case in its
original leather carrying case; and a super fine mini-carriage
clock with a champlevé finish, beveled glasses, and a rare design of the columns and handle. Several members contributed
interesting information about carriage clocks.
One of the newer Chapter members said one of the reasons he joined the Creole Chapter was to learn how to repair
clocks. The NAWCC’s books, videos, and websites were discussed, and Nick Bonura volunteered to present workshops at
future meetings on inspecting, disassembling, cleaning, bushing,
and reassembling clock movements.
NOVEMBER REGIONAL REPORT: The Great Southern
Regional, hosted by the Chapter in November, was a success.
NAWCC Board member Jay Holloway and his wife, Pat, gave
some interesting programs, including “A History of the Welch
Clock Company”, “The Key to Discovery: A Long and Winding
Road”, and “Statue Bronzing Techniques.”
Outgoing Chapter President Louis Boyd brought his monkey
organ, and after cranking out several old favorite musical tunes,
The monkey organ that outgoing Chapter 43 President Louis

he allowed many Cajun banquet-goers to crank out some
tunes.
The exhibit titled New Orleans Horology showed newspaper
advertisements and business cards of New Orleans jewelers
from 1853 to 1908, which bought, sold, and repaired clocks,
watches, and music boxes. Another part showed pictures of
clocks, watches, and silverware signed “M. Scooler,” which
were sold in his store on world famous Canal Street. Scooler
established his business in 1842 and was the sole agent in New
Orleans for selling Walter Durfee grandfather clocks and fine
Patek Philippe watches.
Also featured were products by New Orleans clock and
watchmaker, Stanislaus Fournier, who came from Paris, France,
in 1841 to install a large clock in a New Orleans hotel. He
loved the city and decided to live in New Orleans where for
the next 30 years he ran a clock and watch business at 60
Royal St. in the French Quarter. Other exhibit items included
a Baird clock advertising United States Five Cigars Co. and a
Baird clock advertising Jackson Square Cigars Co. Both clock
cases contained the name “S. Hernsheim Bro’s & Co. New Orleans”, owner of the two cigar companies. Other exhibit items
included the New Orleans model of the Seth Thomas city
series; pictures of the pocket watch made by American Watch
Co. and presented in 1858 to the World Chess Champion Paul
Morphy of New Orleans; and a 5" diameter tower clock dial
made of cypress wood that was in the original New Orleans
Cotton Exchange Building built in 1883. —Nick Bonura

JANUARY MEETING: Twenty-five members and guests
attended the January 14 meeting.
SHOW AND TELL: Twelve members participated in the
show and tell program. Wheeler Green described the unusual
instructions that came with an NEC World Time Clock he
purchased that advised the purchaser to shake the clock if it
doesn’t run, and sure enough that’s what was needed.
Frank Goad brought two Elgin railroad grade pocket watches, one 18-size and the other 16-size, and described in detail
their near exact characteristics, including the unusual 3/4 rear
movement plate on the 18-size watch. This type of backplate
was used exclusively on the 16-size watches making them
easier to repair, but the 18-size watches normally had a full
backplate.
Tom Mostyn showed some unusual alarm clocks, a $1 pocket watch still in its original packaging, a Parker mini-pendulum
clock that adjusts through a small hole in the bottom of the
case, a New Haven clock with the hands outside the glass, a
mini-tambour clock, and two Sessions & Fynetune clocks from
Lancaster, PA.
Al Bush showed an alarm clock with a laminated wood fiber
case and a movement that had very little brass. This unusual
production process was used by clock manufacturers during
World War II because they were limited to using 7 lbs of brass
per 1,000 clocks to conserve the metal for the war effort.
Gordon Beglin showed his Seth Thomas senora chime clock
with the chime-winding hole hidden by the bezel.
Mel Kornspan recounted his childhood days when his dad
worked at the Navy Yard in the District of Columbia and
brought home an old dry cell battle lantern. Mel found a
similar one that had been converted to a clock, which some
members said qualified it as a carriage clock because it had a
handle.
George Hudson had a request for information on a pair of
pliers with ridges on the outside faces, which some members
recognized as a tool for expanding watch bows for easier
removal.
Lou Orsini showed his circa 1920s Seth Thomas Coast
Guard ship’s clock and pointed out the features of these earlier maritime timepieces.
Joe Abrams brought a circa turn of the twentieth century
Zeno Gum Co. machine with a wood case that operated off a
clock mechanism which dispensed a stick of gum after triggered by an inserted penny.
Neil Amrine brought a French windup alarm clock that his
wife found for $3 in a thrift shop.

To ensure he wouldn’t sleep through the alarm, he tied a cord
from the winding key to a pot. When the alarm went off, the
string wound onto the key and pulled the pot off the table and
made a loud noise.
Dan Weber told the story of how he became the proud
owner of a marvelous reproduction of a 5' tall Howard No. 6

Auburn Elks Hall, Auburn, MA; 71 registrations and walk-ins
enjoyed two morning presentations, a mart, a silent auction,
and a raffle followed by lunch and a speaker. The Chapter welcomed new members Glenn Dugger and Eric Litscher.
FEBRUARY PROGRAMS: Chris Carey continued his focus
on Waltham Model 1899/1908, Ab Ovo Usque Ad Mala.
He covered all aspects of how this watch works and the tools
and technical documents used to repair it. More advanced
repair procedures, such as replacing the balance staff, commonsense adjustments to the escapement, and regulating the
timekeeping, were also discussed.
Marty Cohen presented “Time, History, Philosophy,
and Art.” Views of time have changed as the accuracy of our
ability to measure it has improved.
Tom McIntyre gave a talk titled “The Employee’s Own
Watch.” He focused on the practice at Waltham that encouraged employees to develop their skills by purchasing material
at cost and making their own watches. This practice was in
place starting in the 1850s, and Tom featured an especially
interesting example from the late 1880s.
either solid gold or silver cases. These new gold-filled cases
were displayed at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, where the jewelers and the public learned about them.
Domestically produced watchcases increased the demand for
these new gold-filled cases, and companies expanded their
production. By 1920 watchcase manufacturing capacity was
double that of watch movement manufacturing. Even though
pocket watch case production declined, wristwatch case production increased. However, the watchcase business suffered
the same fate as watch movement businesses because of competition from imported Swiss watches. —Andy Dervan

IN MEMORY OF: Longtime Chapter 8 member Ron Flodman passed away on January 28. Ron’s clock interest was
primarily in antique wooden cases, and he had an impressive
workshop to carry out restoration work. He bought many old
clocks and worked on the cases and finishes to achieve nicely
restored appearances. —Les Tyrala

titled “A Pictorial View of American Watchcase Companies,” covering eight watchcase factories. He discussed the
industry’s beginning in small shops in Philadelphia and New
York with larger companies formed by mergers. James Boss’s
US patent in 1859 for the process of spinning gold-filled materials into watchcases was a breakthrough, because it allowed
companies to produce a lower-cost, more durable case than

Gulden’s Restaurant in Maplewood, MN. Richard and Sally Zielike served as hosts, Philip Drexler conducted a mart, and Jeff
Pomeroy provided horological books as door prizes. President
Gary Anderson presided over the meeting.
JANUARY PROGRAM: Greg Smith hosted the Annual
Restoration Projects, which are presented by several
members. Gary Anderson presented two watches: a Hamilton
937 and a Hamilton 938. Gary purchased the 18-size, 17-jewel,
railroad grade, hunter-case model 937 in a tin can as parts. It
required obtaining missing parts, including jewels. Gary also vibrated a hairspring. The rare, 18-size, 17-jewel model 938 has a
highly polished movement and a unique regulator not found on
other Hamiltons. Gary also replaced missing parts and vibrated
a hairspring.
Garth Antila presented two clocks. First was a bracket clock
that had water damage and was missing veneer and a delaminated door. Figuring out the maker was a bit of a challenge; it
appears to be a Herschede circa 1901-1906 retailed by
J. B. Hudson. Second was a high-quality 400-day disk pendu-
lum anniversary clock that had rust and corrosion issues and
required a lot of polishing to get rid of pitting. Determining
the maker was again a bit of an adventure; it appears to be a
Jahresuhrenfabrik circa 1902-1903.
Rich Goodin presented a watch and a clock. Purchased as
parts, the watch was a combination chronograph and repeater
that had a lot of issues and required machining parts, modifying
pallet stones, fitting a balance staff, a roller table, and a balance
wheel; and poising the balance. It is still not quite finished, but
he will persevere. The clock was a circa late 1800s to early
1900s French carriage clock with a cylinder platform escapement again purchased as parts in a box. Restoration included
dovetailing a new tooth on a gear, machining a new pinion, and
fitting new hands. It seems to have been made for the
UK market.
Ron Widenhofer presented a black Sessions mantel clock
with four columns as parts in a box, but most of the parts
were there. The clock had dents in the woodwork, water
damage, and other corrosion issues. Ron cleaned the case with
mineral oil and 2500 grit paper, filled the dents with plastic
wood, and cleaned the paper dial and the brass bezel. He
touched up the gold filigree, replaced two missing columns,
and gave the case 10-12 coats of automotive lacquer.
Susan Wood presented an unfinished custom-designed globe
moon clock that features several unique elements, such as a
two-piece hand-forged globe and uprights. Each of the feet will
be a forged dragon’s foot design, and it will have a torsion pendulum and be weight driven with a rate of 430 beats per hour.
Richard Zielike presented a 1911 ornately carved cuckoo
clock with a dirty movement, an escape wheel that needed
work, and a missing pendulum. Polishing one of the pivots was
tricky because there was little to hang on to, and the bellows
needed to be restored. With help from Terry Jones, Richard
tackled these issues.
Dave Ault presented a circa 1820 Eli Terry pillar and scroll
solid mahogany and mahogany veneer clock with a wooden
movement. His grandfather had restored parts by making new
wood hands and new finials. It still keeps accurate time and is
wound counterclockwise. —Steve Scidmore

Ron Hoops showed a Seth Thomas shelf clock that he purchased in a box from Vince Angell in 1988. Still in the box,
Ron sold the clock to a neighbor in 1991. Then in 1993, Ron
purchased the clock back and began restoring the basket case.
Most amazing was the refinishing and hand graining that Ron
did to restore the top of the case in lieu of re-veneering.
Guest Joe Soares showed a one-of-a-kind pocket watch
movement,
marked “Albert H. Potter” from the Boston area,

displayed in a stand. At some time in the watch’s history,
its original gold hunter case was removed. The watch is a
29-33-jewel movement and was handmade by Albert H. Potter.
Guest Glen Soares also showed an unusual Ansonia alarm
clock with a wood-carved base and an oriental design.
Vince showed a handmade cartouche No. 3. The original
number came off a walnut French wall clock. The original cartouche was badly damaged, and the new cartouche was made
by Ben Beede. Ben actually took a piece of plastic, carved it
in the original shape, painted it to a high-gloss white and then
painted the “III” onto it. No one could tell which number
was replaced.
GROW YOUR CHAPTER TIPS: The Chapter continues to
grow by encouraging folks to join the NAWCC and then inviting new members to Chapter meetings. These efforts continue
to be successful.
FEBRUARY PROGRAM: Ken Erlenbusch gave a program on
the making of bronzes starting with lost wax casting and then the extensive process of burnishing the
bronze to its final beauty. Ken passed around a selection of
old hand tools used in the burnishing process on both bronzes
with clocks and fire gilding of clocks with statues. These tools
were used to “polish” or highlight the gold on both the statues
and many early French clocks.
IN MEMORY OF: Longtime member Dorothy Soares passed
away in January of this year. Dorothy and her late husband,
Robert Soares, were members of the NAWCC and charter

to the NAWCC in Columbia, PA, for the restoration of an
Ansonia tower clock.
SHOW AND TELL: Members brought several interesting
finds, including a pillar and scroll clock, an early Japanese clock,
and an Ithaca calendar clock. Horological items were
auctioned off.
JANUARY PROGRAM: Chapter member and Ansonia clock
authority Kevin Cole gave an informative presentation about
Ansonia clocks and the history of the
Ansonia Clock Co.
Ansonia manufactured an extensive line of mantel, shelf,
and wall clocks, including elaborately painted porcelain-cased
clocks, crystal regulators, beehive clocks, ogee clocks, and
elaborate wood- and iron-cased clocks. Ansonia was also well
known for its weight-driven wall regulators, watches, and novelty items, including swinging clocks with figurines.
As with many early nineteenth-century American clock companies, such as Gilbert, Ingraham, Waterbury, and Seth Thomas, Ansonia had its roots in Connecticut. In the mid-1840s,
Ansonia Brass Co. was formed to supply rolled-brass clock
movements, which had largely replaced wooden movements,
to several clock manufacturers in Connecticut. Ansonia Clock
Co. was formed as a subsidiary of Ansonia Brass Co. in 1850

Kevin Cole gave a presentation about Ansonia clocks at the
January meeting of Chapter 13.
when it merged with Terry & Andrews, one of the largest clock
manufacturers in Bristol, CT.
In the mid-1870s Ansonia was spun off from the brass component of the company and moved most of its production to
New York. A second factory opened in Brooklyn, but it burned
down in 1880. It was rebuilt and reopened in 1881. Shortly
thereafter the Connecticut manufacturing operations closed.
Ansonia’s business continued to expand and the company
reached its peak around 1915 with large US and international
sales. However, the effects of World War I and strong competition, coupled with poor business decisions, led to its demise,
and in 1929 the tooling and machinery were sold to Amtorg
Trading Corp., the Soviet Union’s US trading company. In 1969

FEBRUARY PROGRAM: Show and tell is always a popular
event, and February’s program was no exception. One of the
most unusual items was Sharon Daniel’s tin kitchen clock that
served as a timepiece and match holder. All stoves used to
require a match to start the fire.
Travis Grether showed a J. J. Elliot triple-fusee bracket clock
from the 1890s. Hugh Dugas showed his first Rolex that he
bought at the PX in 1954 while serving in the Korean War. He
also wore the same watch in Vietnam. Bob Byroads showed his
Goliath Swiss 8-day pocket watch made circa 1900-1920. It is
equivalent to about a size 40 in pocket watch terms.
Greg Smith brought a time-only Sessions regulator in need
of a calendar ring. He also brought a Wilton positioner that
he uses for a movement holder. Allan Wolff showed a Junghans
Westminster bracket clock that he purchased at the Wichita
MKOA Regional as a restoration project.
JANUARY PROGRAM: Greg Smith demonstrated his techniques for replacing cuckoo clock bellows. Greg uses bellows
material from a clock supplier and cuts it to fit the existing
whistle. Some of the tools he uses are a razor blade, small
scissors, and glue. Greg’s work looks just as professional as the
bellows from clock supply houses, and he estimates his time
making them is worth about 73 cents per hour. —Allan Wolf
had unusual bezels;Virginia LaFond, a watch bought by Ed
LaFond for her at the 1968 National Convention in Philadelphia; Will LaFond, a brass clock backplate from a Joseph
Hollingshead clock that had what will believes was a practice
engraving of the moon on it; George Morrison, an unusual
uncased Hamilton model 974 in unfinished condition that may
have been a prototype because there was no serial number;
and Frank Harchuska, a former Sidney Advertising clock that
may have come through the Johnstown flood and was used by
the Remorse Club in 1889 (the date was on the glass) and his
detective work in sleuthing out the truth on this interesting
piece of history. Members enjoyed seeing and hearing about
these very unusual items and great stories. —Lee Davis

FEBRUARY PROGRAM: Jim Zerfing showed gravers used
for turning metals by clock repairers and how to sharpen
them.
Using a camera to project on the big screen what he was
doing, Ed Warble demonstrated how to sharpen various
types of cutting tools. Using a Waller kit on the lathe, he
showed how to sharpen carbide gravers and how to correctly

FEBRUARY MEETING: Members met February 20.
FEBRUARY PROGRAM: Pat Holloway gave a presentation
titled “The Elgin National Watch Co.:Their History and
Their Advertising.” From its beginning it filled the West’s
need for a watch company. Much of Elgin’s early success was
due to strong financial backing, business-savvy founders, and
very knowledgeable, skilled craftsmen. Many of the craftsmen
were from the American Watch Co. in Waltham, MA, or other
successful watch companies.
The company was founded as National Watch Co. of
Chicago, IL; however, before any watches were produced, the
name was shortened to National Watch Co. Early advertising
focused on building name recognition, but the watches had
“Elgin, Illinois” etched on the movement, the almanac included
the name “Elgin,” and people referred to “those watches from
Elgin.” So the name was officially changed to Elgin National
Watch Co.
Throughout its history, the company used creative and
innovative advertising. Several names appeared in relation to
this advertising: Hulburd, who was a president of the company,
and Roy Rutherford Bailey. Several ad campaigns wove togeth-
Participants in a recent Chapter 124 class taught by Mark Vozar were, from left standing, Gary Coffman, David Miller, Donald

pinning the cutout at several places to strengthen the repair. A
large bushing for the main wheel arbor helped to solidify the
repair. The punched holes required bushings to restore true
round holes, and the plates were sanded with fine sandpaper
to provide a bright smooth finish after the repairs. The final
stage was to return the clock and adjust the bell strike, so the
owner would not be disturbed. The owners were pleased with
the restoration. —Pat Holloway

REGIONAL REPORT: Chapter 124 hosted the 2016 Lone
Star Regional at the Mesquite Convention Center in Mesquite,
TX, on March 4 and 5; 564 registrants attended and 332 tables
were sold, making this year’s Regional one of the best!
REGIONAL PROGRAM: John Evans, Peter Crum, and Hugh
Slough organized an Art Deco Exhibit with more than 75 clocks
and other items from that distinctive era. Peter, a longtime
Chapter 124 member, gave the keynote address; other talks
and demonstrations included case refinishing by Dee Koch,
spindle turning by John Horn, antique American glass by
Don Bugh, and a hands-on demonstration of bluing by Bruce
Wooldridge. Mike Dempsey taught a pre-Regional class titled
“Hairsprings 2” and gave an interesting perspective on the
uses of 3-D printing in horology. Cathy Slough presided over
the children’s table on Saturday, with horological activities for
young people who attended.
John and a crew of volunteers brought a truck full of clocks
and tools, among other items for the Thursday evening silent

er magazines, newspapers, poster stamps, and booklets. The
ads leveraged the “Timed by the Stars” theme based on the
company’s observatory. The Captain Tick-Mouse series focused
on children while leveraging the adult-centered materials and
the “Time-Telling Through the Ages” campaign incorporated
the Tick-Mouse booklets, poster, stamps, magazine ads, and
two paperback books by Bailey and told the company’s history
through color pictures and stories.
In addition to print ads, Elgin leveraged several world’s fairs
for advertising. Its greatest visibility was at the 1933 Century
of Progress Fair in Chicago and the 1939 New York Fair. In addition to its exhibit in 1933, Elgin had a signal from the observatory transmitted each day to the fair, resulting in time balls
falling to signal the start. The 1939 exhibit included a replica of
the observatory and a history of timekeeping through the ages.
Members contributed stories of businesses where working
conditions and regulations were similar to those found in Elgin.
JANUARY MEETING: Members met January 16.
JANUARY PROGRAM: Jay Holloway gave a program on the
restoration of an American tallcase clock attributed
to Benjamin Cheney, who had a student named Benjamin
Willard, the clockmaker who trained his younger brother,
Simon Willard. Somewhere in the clock’s life, a key area on
the front plate was cut out and later soldered back into place.
Whether the cutout was done originally or at a later time no
one knows, but there seems to be no logical reason for the
damage. The cut area going through the middle of the strike
side main wheel arbor and later next to the standoff holding
the rack in place, which was screwed into the plate, created
major structural problems. The family bought the clock more
than 100 years ago, and when the clock would not stop striking, they wanted it restored.
Other damage to the clock included pivot holes that had
been punched and closed with a chisel, which left many large
holes and gashes on the plates, front and back. Restoration
required extensive time and effort soldering the cutout and

focused on National activities to stabilize existing membership
and to build new membership. Then, Tim announced the recipients of this year’s NAWCC Certificates of Appreciation. John
Acker gave an update on the 2017 NAWCC National Convention to be held in Arlington, TX.
The David Tips Volunteer of the Year Award went to Pam
Tischler, Chapter 124’s own “energizer bunny” and tireless volunteer. Bella Grimm and Tim awarded the door prizes. Thanks
go to R&M and Merritt’s who donated many of the door prizes
that were awarded throughout the Regional.

outstanding success. —Kelsey Downum

FEBRUARY MEETING: More than 60 members and new

Regional in Lakeland, FL.
FEBRUARY PROGRAM: Richard Newman gave a presentation titled “Robert Leslie Remembered:The Untold
Story of an Important Early American Watch & Clock
Inventor.” Robert Leslie’s story is truly an American tale.
Coming from the humblest of circumstances in rural Maryland,
Leslie was a self-taught clock maker and watchmaker, who
made his way to Philadelphia and worked with America’s most
revered statesmen and inventors, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin. Obliterated
from history by a catastrophic fire that destroyed his records
in the 1830s, Leslie received the first clock and watch patents
in America, and his inventions amazingly still influence makers
today. This presentation culminates two years of research and
tells the “rags to riches to rags” story of perhaps greatest
American clock and watch inventor of his era and includes an
exhibit of his patents and a rare surviving watch.

CRYPTOGRAM PUZZLE ANSWER
MARCH/APRIL 2016 MART & HIGHLIGHTS—PUZZLE NO. 86:
————————————————————————————————————————
ANSWER:There once was an eccentric old lady who owned a houseful of favorite clocks. So
diligent was she, that not one should ever stop, after church she faithfully began to wind them all.
But alas, as this task required seven days to complete, she was perpetually tardy to church!

Call for Nominations to the Board of Directors
and to the NEC for the 2017–2021 Term
This is a call for nominations for NAWCC’s elected positions to the Board of Directors and the
Nominating and Elections Committee (NEC) to be filled in the January-March 2017 election. The term
begins in June 2017.
Four elected director positions and one elected NEC position will be filled. All are four-year terms.
All candidates will be interviewed by the current NEC to confirm their eligibility under these requirements.
Candidates may be nominated in several ways. Interested parties may self-nominate, be nominated by another member, or be nominated by the NEC. Nomination by petition also is possible; this method requires
250 member signatures with valid membership numbers.
The Bylaws specify there must be at least two but not more than five nominated candidates placed on the
ballot for each open position. If a total of more than five Board nominations are received for each open
position, the list will be screened and reduced to five by an NEC review of qualifications. All candidates
nominated by petition will be placed on the ballot.
The election ballot will be distributed 75-120 days prior to April 1, 2017, by methods determined by the
NEC. All ballots must be received no later than midnight April 1, 2017.
No later than June 30, 2016, completed nomination forms and petitions can be mailed to NAWCC, Inc.,
Attn.: Steve Humphrey, 514 Poplar St., Columbia, PA 17512-2130; emailed to [email protected]; or
faxed to 717.684.0878.
A similar call for nominations to fill appointed Director positions will appear in the November/December
2016 issue of the Watch & Clock Bulletin. The Board will appoint two Directors from this second group of
nominees. The same nomination form will be used, and it may be completed now, if you wish. The petition
option may not be used for appointment nominees.
M AY/ J U N E 2 016 N AWC C M a r t & H i g h l i g h t s

• Lee Davis, [email protected]
