Trumbull County Clock Industry, 1812 - 1835, New For Sale

From 1812 until 1835, Trumbull County, Ohio was home to a large wooden works clock industry that produced at least 75,000 inexpensive luxury items to the many states west of the Allegheny Mountains. Clocks survive with dial inscriptions of L.W. Lewis, W. Lewis, G. Lewis, G. Lewis, C. Lewis, A. Merrell, P. Deming, A. Hart, D. R. Hartson, and Hart & Truesdale. Other factories or assembly shops were those of Abraham Lewis, Levi Lewis, McMaster, Hartson & Co., Thomas Lewis, Abel Tyler & Joel Humason, and Asahel Scovill. The American roots of wooden works clock manufacturing are found in the eighteenth century, in western Connecticut. The Trumbull County industry began later, some time just before 1812. Large volume production of 30-hour tall clocks continued longer in Trumbull county than in Connecticut, until 1835.

This monograph is an excellent study of these clocks and includes many photographs of the clocks and their works. M. RogersPublisherPrivately PublishedPages52Price GuideNoneAbout Crunruh Books - Rhymes with \"from you.\"
