95. $ 600
Southern Calendar Clock Co. “Fashion No. 9”, ca. 1889. This is the New Haven version
of the No. 9, made by the New Haven Clock Co. for the SCCC after SCCC changed ownership and moved to Columbus, MS. The
relocated firm was only in business for a year or two. The case is made of hardwood stained dark walnut, with a flat top
and crest rather than rounded top. The finials also differ from the earlier finials. The glass in the door is
likely original, the Fashion lettering is correct. Black unlabeled paper dials were used, as found here; these are likely
replacements and the dial pans may be as well. The 8-day time-and-strike movement is signed with the New Haven logo. It
is running and striking a rich deep gong on the hours and half-hours. The simple calendar is advancing. There
is a good white label inside with instructions and stating that the clock was made for the SCCC by the New Haven Clock Co. AAC
sold two last summer for $650. $600-$750.
