BAIRD ADVERTISING CLOCK THIS CLOCK ADVERTISES: NEW YORK CLOTHING HOUSE102 -104 E. BALTO. ST. BALTIMOREONE BETWEEN 1891 and 1895 E.P. Baird moved his clock company to Plattsburgh, NY in late 1890 or early 1891. In 1895 his company went bankrupt, with a sheriffs sale of his factory in very early 1896. Clocks with this case style were only made in the Plattsburgh, NY factory.Up for auction is early 1890's Baird advertising clock for the New York Clothing House in Baltimore, MD. I bought this out of an estate sale. I am no Baird expert but to my eyes the finish appear to be original paint if a bit smokey. Nevertheless, please use your own judgement in making a determination on originality. The movement is the standard Seth Thomas that was used in the vast majority of these clocks.This clock is for one of at least fourteen different clothing houses/stores that advertised on Baird clocks. Because they are for smaller establishments, they number of clocks order by any of these stores is relatively low making most of them fairly uncommon to see oor come up for sale. Another copy of this clock is shown in Jerry Maltz's excellent book on Baird clocks on pages 98-99. The clock is currently on the wall and running. Like all clocks of this age, I can't promise that after shipping it won't need adjustment but it does currently run for a complete week. The original pendulum and a key are included SHIPPING: IS FREE in the USA. For outside the USA, my shipping costs are to get it to EBAY'S Global Shipping Network. You take it from there. (I know it says local pickup only but that is the only choice I had to include the shipping price in the item's cost).Thank you for looking at my auction. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
