Herschede Grandfather Clock
One of the great American clock manufacturers, Herschede grandfather clock may not be as immediately recognized as those clocks by other manufacturers but they meet or surpass the quality levels of all of them.
As the popularity of the Herschede grandfather clock continued to grow, Herschede was eventually able to buy the cabinet shop that was making his cases so that they could focus on the production of clocks full-time. While most of the clocks that were available at the time made use of Winchester chimes, Herschede elected to offer the option of Canterbury chimes as well. The Canterbury chimes gave Herschede grandfather clocks a unique sound, allowing those who owned these clocks to take pride in the clock that they owned. Herschede grandfather clocks featuring authentic Canterbury chimes are still prized by clock collectors to this day even though the use of numerous variants of these chimes eventually became commonplace. The Herschede clock company made a name for itself by producing high-quality work that also displayed quite a bit of innovation, and while these clocks aren’t as well-known today as they were in the early 19th century there are still a number of collectors and clock enthusiasts that take great pride in owning a Herschede clock. These clocks stand as a great example of classic Ohio manufacturing as well as proof that the American dream of being able to pursue your life’s desire can come true provided that you’re willing to work at it. Here is a list of serial numbers which were used for the brand names Herschede, Revere, and General Electric. This list is not complete and there might be some mistakes in it. But it should help you finding the age of your clock.
