Other Clocks

Rodgers Receipt

Doug Saturno was kind enough to send this scan along for the sale of a mahogany clock and its setup in 1830.

A Rodgers (?) Astro Clock

Collector Wayne Voumallis contacted me in 2004 about a rare "Astro Clock" that had similar features to my Rodgers clock, including the unusual original pulley. I neglected to save the pictures, but it may be another Rodgers that still exists.

An Early New York Rodgers

A man named Chris sent these images onto me in 2007. Here is a great early clock by James Rodgers, very much in the early 19th century English style. Note the painted dial and the inlaid case - a very elegant design. It is not dissimilar to the many tall-case clocks made in northern New Jersey and in the New York City area, nearly all of which have this type of elegant string inlay (probably imported from Great Britain).

A California Rodgers

Fred Bausch of California was kind enough to provide information on a Rodgers clock he found out in the west. The clock was installed in a mansion as part of a mirror mounted to the wall. Obviously the clock must have either been purchased and brought out to California or built and shipped by the Rodgers firm from New York City.

The movement is signed signed "J. Rodgers - New York - 55." The movement was originally housed in a box located behind the wall. The clock was electrified some time ago and the old, original Rodgers movement was placed aside.

Still looking for other clocks!
