    Description

    Up for sale is the book
    The American Clock
    , written in 1976 by William H. Distin and Robert Bishop.
    The American Clock
    is a comprehensive pictorial survey 1723-1900. The book is not intended to be a history of clockmaking in America; instead, its purpose is to collect into one volume a very large number of significant clocks of all types so that collectors will have a substantial pictorial reference with which to compare their own acquisitions and to extend their knowledge of the field. Compiled by William H. Distin, a well-known authority on clocks who is a former director of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, this 360-page book presents almost 700 black-and-white illustrations, 84 color plates, an updated, 65-page listing of 6,153 American clockmakers, and a glossary of clock terms. Also, over 100 of the photographs show close-ups of the dials and works of many different clocks. Hard cover with jacket. Excellent condition. – Book 319
