215 pages of detailed illustrations with information on the type of clock, pattern name, when manufactured, dial size and price. Even if you're not a collector or seller this book is interesting to look at with all the different styles of clocks. Would make a wonderful coffee table book.

For my needs,this book is the best of the three I purchased. It has page after page of clock models from the most common makers you may run into while out treasure hunting. As a true price guide for the common working man buyer, it is obviously out of step with todays economy, but that is to be expected. I actually was looking for a book to help me identify models, and for that this book usually just gets me into the ballpark. The author chose to feature different manufacturers clocks all from the same year for a particular maker. For instance, all of the Seth clocks may be 1885, then all of the Waterbury clocks may be 1930, etc. Overall not a bad book, one I actually use, but not what I envisioned before buying.

The Standard Antique clock Value Guide is very helpful. I would have liked even more information, but this was more than I had prior to purchasing the book.
I'll be looking around on Amazon for another book, with more details. Thank you.
I do not have the item number.
