Clockmakers & Clockmaking in Maine 1770-1900
Joseph R. Katra Jr.
In this new publication, Joe Katra has revised and expanded his previously published Maine data (NAWCC Supplement No. 17, 1989), often adding newly found genealogical and historical information on southern Maine clockmakers, plus expanded the scope of the work to include all clockmakers known to have actually produced clocks in the state...Maine clocks run the gamut from a crude 30-hour shelf or floor standing timepiece to a sophisticated 8-day three-train quarter chiming tall clock...Mr. Katra’s treatise is well illustrated, and the reader will enjoy seeing examples of these relatively rare and interesting horological products from Maine.
