23 October 2024
grandmother clock, as new, unused. This pretty clock in cherry was made in 1967, and includes the original sales invoice to Irving Cooperman. The movement is a Howard, adapted for use in this case, and carries both the Howard and Stennes signature marks. During the 60's Elmer was obtaining Howard movements from various sources and putting them in banjo, Mass Shelf or other cases that he was making. This model with rocking ship was one of his most popular, and they command high prices today. Mr. Cooperman kept this clock boxed and wrapped since the purchase in 1969, and unlike other clocks in the collection, had no dust to remove. Signed Stennes invoice is tacked inside case. Height 61 inches
