23 October 2024
Condition: Case with a turned cherry base is in very clean condition. Silvered dial is in excellent condition. Hands and dome are original. When the Poole Mfg. Co. stopped production in 1934, the Barr Mfg. Co. took over the site in 1937 and began to manufacture battery clocks based on the Poole design. Most of the Barr models were made without a nameplate or a serial number. This example has a nameplate on the base, just under the disc style pendulum. Suspension spring and leader replaced. For additional information, see booklet titled 150 Years of Electric Horology, by the Midwest Electric Horology Group (1992). Height 10.5 inches
