New England Clock company
When I think about a clock made by the New England Clock
Company, the first things that come to mind is their flowery dials and
beautiful cases. The case work on these clocks is of a fine furniture
quality. The New England Clock Company made the cases and the movements
in their Connecticut plants at first. Later, they began purchasing the
movements abroad, mostly from Germany. They also began having other
manufacturers make cases, dials, hands, weights and other parts to their
specifications, and the parts were assembled into complete clocks at
their plant in Farmington.
Even though the N.E.Clock Co. wasn't started until 1956, their
roots go back much further. Let's take a minute to review the origins
of this company. The company actually started as the Forestville
Manufacturing Co., in Forestville, Conn. This was around 1835. When
Forestville Manufacturing went bankrupt around 1860, Elisa Nils Welsh,
absorbed the company. It was renamed the E. N. Welsh manufacturing
company, in 1864.
