Street
Clock Model 00
E. Howard & Company
Boston, Mass.
This E. Howard Street Clock was one of many that were manufactured by E. Howard & Company, Boston, Mass., during the period from 1875 through 1930. This specific model was frequently used for street clocks, although it was sometimes used on smaller tower clock installations where it would drive only one or two dials. The frames are solid brass while the wheels (gears) are brass with steel arbors. It runs on about 30 pounds of weight, which can be compounded to run for a typical eight days.
