A Baughurst Clock

This clock was presented to the present owner’s Grandfather in 1912 (see letter attached).

It lived in Grandfather’s cottage in Baughurst for nearly eighty years before being inherited by his grandson. The clock was refurbished in the 1990’s and only recently decided to stop. It was taken to the Baughurst Repair Cafe and given to Bob for repairs. The owner was under the impression that the clock was French but Bob found evidence that it is American made by the Ansonia Clock Company.  You can find similar clocks in the online US catalogues for Young & Co from 1911 and the 1911 Fort Dearborn Catalogue.

The clock is now back on the mantlepiece in the Grandson’s Baughurst home and is once again keeping ‘Good Tempo’. A Baughurst success story.
