Antique 1860’s French movement mantle shelf clock sold under a Private Label Rights “Haddock Lincoln & Foss ”CONDITION: Excellent! It is in great condition. It runs well. There are traces of minor chipping around the right key hole. Please see the detail image in the Gallery section. The body of the clock has no dings or cracks. DESCRIPTION: It is an eight day wind clock where its bell clings every hour and half hour. It comes with a winding key and pendulum. Enameled dial face. Smooth black marble/slate with a gilt decoration. Considering the relatively small footprint, the clock is quite heavy, 22 lbs. I fell in love with the clock because it bears a refined taste with its soft, delicately unobtrusive bell ring. It delivers a pleasing sound resonating with a soothing sophistication especially during formal sit down dining events. HISTORY: Charles M. Foss and Albert L. Lincoln (1847-1858) advertised their firm as Importers and dealers in Rich Watches, Clocks, Jewelry & Silver Ware. The firm of Lincoln & Foss was within steps of Boston’s best jewelry houses. Lincoln & Foss was reorganized as Haddock, Lincoln & Foss in 1859, when longtime independent Boston silversmith Henry Haddock joined the firm as senior partner. As a part of their jewelry and silver ware business they imported clocks with French movement from Paris, and retailed them under a Private Label “Haddock, Lincoln & Foss, Boston.” Haddock remained with the firm until 1868, when he retired from the silverware and jewelry business. At the time of his departure, the company was disbanded, and former partner Charles M. Foss joined the partnership of Samuel T. Crosby and Henry D. Morse, which was listed in the 1870 Boston directory as “Jewelers, Silversmiths, and Diamond Cutters, also dealers of Rich Watches, Silver and Plated Wares.” MEASUREMENTS: 11” Long 6” Wide 8” High WEIGHT: 22 lbs (Condition: Pre-Owned)
