Baird Advertising clocks appeal to afficionados of clocks and advertising. They were manufactured in the late 19th century and advertise consumer products of the time — a great piece of popular American history. Best known are the clocks advertising the Coca-Cola brand.

These clocks are collector items and change hands for a high price. It is now possible to check that your clock has the correct parts — the hands and the pendulum in particular. Jerry Maltz has devoted 25 years to the collecting and research of clocks manufactured by Edward Payson Baird and published his research in a 200 page book devoted to these clocks, complete with photographs.
