Buckeye Horology: A Review of Ohio Clock and Watch Makers
by James W. Gibbs. The list of clockmakers and watchmakers of Ohio, as included in this book, is extremely comprehensive. The author’s concept of cataloging makers by counties is most unusual and it is hoped that further research into the working relationships of makers who were in those days near-neighbors will develop. The
metier
of time and timepieces has been highlighted in innumerable instances by books whose subjects run the gamut from the generalities of the time-continuum to the eccentricities of famous makers. This book specializes…it has taken a small geographical area and has turned the microscope of research on it. Undoubtedly more Ohio makers will come to light, but the Gibbs work has provided the initial impetus in enhancing and advancing our knowledge of Horology in Ohio. 128 pages. Hard cover with jacket. Copyright 1971. Excellent condition. – Book 1,527
