Description

The Hammond electric clocks were made in Chicago, Illinois in the 1930's. They are manual starting clock, in which you spin a knob to start the synchronous motor. Telechron had such good patent coverage on the self starting motor that it took time for other companies to market their own self starting electric clocks. Hammond never did.

Here are a selection from my collection.
