Antique American Clocks January 2020
328. $25
New Haven “Drop Octagon”, ca 1930. This version of the Drop Octagon is not shown in Ly’s book on New
Haven clocks. The 21-inch case is probably walnut, but could be oak with a dark stain. The finish is shot and peeling
off in many pieces. The 12-inch paper dial is also peeling, signed New Haven, with proper hands. The 8-day time-only movement
bears the New Haven logo and is running, with a New Haven pendulum. I think the glasses have been replaced. There is a
good label on the back. NH Drop Octagons sell for $50-$75 on eBay. $25-$75.
