Munderloh and Co., Montreal, Canada, "Munderloh-Holtzer Magneto Clock", 8 day, time and recorder function for 6 watchman's stations, twin-spring balance wheel movement in an oak case with black glass and gold leaf lettering which reads in part "The Munderloh-Holtzer Magneto Clock / Holtzer's Patent". There is little information available about this company, but based on the name and contents of the clock, it presumably works similar to those made by The Eco Magneto Company, which used a system that avoided the problematic batteries of the time. A watchman, when checking in at one of the assigned stations, would manually crank a magneto. The electricity generated would close a solenoid within the remotely located time recorder, causing a pin corresponding to that station to punch a round paper record attached to the center arbor of the clock movement. The case has a dark, original finish. One piece of dentil molding is missing from the upper left side of the clock. The glass and lettering are in very good condition The Seth Thomas marine movement ticks briskly, but was not tested long term.
