Parker Mission Clock..
 

Bought this several years ago. Sets on my roll top..Dial says...Made by the Parker Clock Co. Meriden,Conn. USA..The logo in the center says..Trade Mark PARKER.. 11 3/4 inches tall...

Very nice. I have only seen a few Parker clocks

One more rabbit hole I could end up going down :corn:

Very cool. Would love to have one like that.

reall nice clock...charlie

I have the same model. I love it. It goes perfectly with my pieces of mission furniture. The mechanism is the typical alarm clock of the period. The wind lasts about a day and a half.

What are the dimensions of the clock stand itself?

Mine is packed up for my move. But jerry's height sounds right for the overall height of the stand.

Dean..It's about 11 1/2" tall..and the base is about 5x4 inches.

Only a day and a half wind... I have several wind up table clocks from the same period and they have a 7-10 day wind and chime. Why was Parker clock wind duration so short?

It is an alarm clock. You would wind it each day after turning the alarm off on waking.
Less expensive of a mechanism too i am sure.

The Parker Clock Co.

Dean, can you determine the date on that?

I tried but I can't.

you need to find a philatelist -

a quick search shows envelopes like that for sale with post marks in the 1907-1909 era

If that is a Postcard rate my research shows a couple of time periods, July 1885 to July 1898 when it dropped to 1 cent. Back to 2 cents in mid 1917 until mid 1919 (war years) then lowered back to 1 cent after the war.
It was again at 2 cents from 1952 until Aug. 1958.

See. You need a stamp geek. :rotf:
