This 120 years old clock is a rare survivor and historical example predating AC in most homes of the period. Measures 9.5" height x 6" width and 5.25" depth. The early battery electric clocks, including Tiffany, were beaten into submission with the introduction of AC main power distribution into the consumers home and the development of cheap and reliable electric motors for clocks. George Steele Tiffany was a man of the moment. He saw an opportunity to make and sell an electric version of the then popular 400 day clock. In the end it was technological advancement which caused the demise of his clock business, but for 20 years he reigned supreme.We are listing several interesting Maritime clocks and barometers from a collection, please check back for our offerings.
