5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Pictures
This book has some wonderful pictures. I think some of the values are dated, but the pictures and examples were very useful to me.

1.0 out of 5 stars Antique Trader Clocks Price Guide: Including All Types of Clocks - 17th through 20th Century (Antique Trade Clocks Price Guide)
A brave title with "ALL Types of Clocks" and it disappointed as it did not include many (if any) small Boudoir Clocks. Few 20th Century clocks only 1 electric clock. Few mentions of swiss clocks of note. NO INDEX - what sort of book dose not have an index.

Like many American authors - if it does not happen in the USA it does not happen.

I would...

I would not recommend this book to those who collect clocks from "the world" as the world is greater than the USA.

This review is from: Antique Trader Clocks Price Guide: Including All Types of Clocks-17th Through 20th Century (Paperback)
As one of the other reviewers wrote, this is NOT a catalog of all clocks. But it does serve a beginner well, with many fine pictures. However, the estimated values have nothing to do with reality. Although this book is many years old, the values are 3-10 times more than you'll pay on ebay, which, by the way, is the best place to buy an antique clock (as long as the dealer has a 98% or better rating). Prices are about one-fifth the price of antique stores.
