Skinner is pleased to have been chosen to sell the 30-year, nationally known, early American clock collection of Terry and Karen Brotherton. The Brothertons were careful buyers relying on a trusted and highly skilled group of dealers and clock experts for advice. Examples from Ralph Pokluda of Houston, Peter Sawyer of New Hampshire, Chris Bailey of Connecticut, Ed LaFond of Pennsylvania, and Robert C. Cheney from Massachusetts, all point to high standards of rarity and condition. Unique Pennsylvania shelf clocks, J.N. Dunning rarities, Ives “wagon springs,” examples by S.B. Terry, and mirror and globe clocks were Brotherton favorites. Those once owned by NAWCC past presidents (3),and noted early collectors were also sought by Terry and Karen, particularly when accompanied by wonderful, original painted tablets. With the quality and rarity of the collection, it is no surprise to find examples photographed in numerous books including Horology Americana, The American Clock, Pennsylvania Shelf and Bracket Clocks, 1750-1850, A Treasury of American Clocks, and American Shelf and Wall Clocks.
