Circa: 1910. Up for auction is a very rare clock indeed. It was stored away for a least 58 years in a old warehouse until I found it recently. It is a Crystal Regulator clock or Brass and Glass clocks as they are sometimes called. But this is made by the Vermont Clock Co. in Fairhaven, Vt. Not many clocks were made by this company and examples are rare when they do show up. Not only is this a rare maker but the Pendulum is a mercury pendulum and as far as I know this is the only Amercian Co. to use mercury in t crystal regulator clock pendulums. Only the french has done so before. It is a eight day time only clock with perfect dameschene pattern and signature on back of movement. This clock although it has a pendulum it runs like a wrist watch with little ark to pendulum and it is wonderful to listen to and watch running. It has been serviced and runs quite well. This clock has been looked at by several collectors and all claim the original condition on this piece is striking., The gold finish, the pendulum, all four Beveleved glasses are devoid of chips or defects. If you collect clocks this is what you look for in collecting rare and unusual makers clocks. The Vermont Clock Co. was formed in 1891 under the original name of Fairhaven Clock Company. Then became Vermont Clock Co in 1910-21. Many feel Joseph Eastman who had a hand in Boston Clock Co. Chelsea Clock Co. Derry Clock Co, and Herschede Clock Co. Did indeed have dealing with this Company. They made only high grade clocks only, Some with Macmillan Patent on some dials and brass bound glass flash gold coated regulators like this one with Lever movements and pendulum movements. This one is a cross between them both. How beautiful is this clock really. I have never seen a better built highly jewled movement and case,anyw by any other maker. The quality is breathtaking please see pictures. The dial is Metal and in perfect condition and it is a time only clock unusual for a crystal regulator clock. It was ordered to be a percise time piece only. If you are a serious collector you do not want to pass this clock up. Especially if you want to become one over night. If you snooze you loose on this clock trust me. Once these are gone they are gone forever. They never show up on the open market but usually go from collector to collector and at auctions sell for over $695-$895.00 and that was several years ago. Recent model like this brought $795.00 at Schmitt's auction last year. If you are new to clocks can you think of any better way to start of with collecting why buy a common dime a dozen Crystal regulator clock when you can own a extremly rare model that doubles in value every few years. If you start at the top, you will never have to look back or resell to upgrade. A pain many collectors who buy cheap clocks realize they now have to do. The Holidays are not to far away now is the time to think about a very special gift for a special person, how about this one. Would they be suprised to recieve this rare clock. You want rare and beautiful clocks I will continue to scour the country to provide them for You, Enjoy, as good as this model will gets. Thanks to some new information recently submitted by a very nice e-bayer. I have been told Joesph Eastman, and a Mr Bell did indeed start this Clock Company and these Vermont Clock Company Clocks were only produced from 1898 -1902. Just four years. I knew they were rare but had no idea they were only made for four years. No wonder the massive amout of e-mails in such a short time. Keep them coming I really enjoy learning about this Company.
