Cottage clock by Atkins Clock Company, Bristol, Connecticut ca 1859.
The Atkins Clock Company of Bristol, Connecticut was formed on West Street around 1859. The company was a large manufacturer of shelf and wall clocks. They were in business until about 1879 when they closed. The business was sold in 1880 to Carlisle and Harry Barnes who continued in the old Atkins clock manufacturing building until about 1884 under the name Barnes Brothers Clock Company. Although there were several clock related businesses with the name Atkins associated with them, this particular company produced some of the most attractive and now highly collectible clocks such as this one. I've seen these priced considerably higher, but we are able to offer it at this amount after purchasing it from a fellow clock dealer. Height: 12 in. (30.48 cm) Depth: 11 in. (27.94 cm) Width: 13 in.
