Clocks and Watches 1400-1900
Eric Bruton
1967 028737839 210 pages provide an account of the timepieces from 1400-1900, but also shows HOW the collector can date a clock or watch AFTER a brief examination, determine its authenticity, and make a reasonable evaluation of its worth. Describes many timepieces NOT included in other books on the subject because they are on the antiquarian fringe; as time passes, however, THESE are the clocks & watches that might gain considerably in interest and value. Numerous drawings and photographs describe the many timepieces of the Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo and Victorian eras, pointing out the distinguishing characteristics of EACH style. A chronological chart and explanation of the care of timepieces and their decorative use will prove valuable to the collector. The book jacket has wear 'n tear at the extremeties, but it in one piece; the book itself is clean, has some yellowing of outer pages due to shelf wear, and is clean & tight! Frederucj A, Oraeger
