Without Equal - G Russell Oechsle - Bog

- The Clocks of Abner Jones of Bloomfield, New York

Bag om Without Equal

The huge, flamboyant, unique clocks made by Abner Jones at Bloomfield, NY, in the period 1818-41 have emerged over time as most intriguing to the upstate New York clock cognoscenti. Beyond the clocks, however, Jones the man and maker has remained an enigma. Where did he come from and when? Where and when did he make his clocks, and in what quantity? These and other questions have been asked but, prior to this work, not definitively answered. If the evidence presented in this book is to be believed, no one had it quite right. The author's goal has been to accumulate all past research; expand upon that in every way necessary; to run out every lead possible and then to provide all new findings with such detail and accuracy as to do this remarkable clockmaker justice. This effort is a significant addition to our understanding of Abner Jones, with many, many questions answered, numerous problems solved and, to be sure, many new questions to ponder.
