Eleven producers of clocks are represented: Seth Thomas, Ithaca, Ingraham, Waterbury, Welch, Howard, Gilbert, New Haven, Sempire, Sessions, and Ansonia. AUTHORBIO: Alex Wescot first authored the Standard Antique Clock Value Guide in 1977, and has continued to update it over the years. A new edition of the book was printed in 2003, and it is still a great seller. REVIEW: This book provides price and identification information for clocks made in America from the 1870s through the 1930s. Each clock is given a black-and-white photograph and provides information on the type of model, pattern number, date produced, and price.
