Baird Advertising Clocks
Filed Under Antique Clocks
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.
