  • I might get one of these at my local clock store on US 19.

  • My father bought a clock exactly like this in about 1970 except the pendulum was a cylinder shape. He got it overhauled by Whaites and Reed but nowhere can we see a maker's name. They thought it might be JJ Elliott but we cannot prove it. Does this clock have an actual maker's name on it?

  • @OneExoticBoy, thanks for the info. Wow, 55 pounds for an elliot! I have a herschede and I thought it was only 10 pounds, but 26!

  • @skunkfusbiggestfan They are both in the same category of heaviest and highest grade movements, but I do believe the Elliott was even heavier than the Herschede Movement. I think the chime weight was 55 Lbs on the Elliott 9-tube. on the Herschede its 26 Lbs and its hard to lift, I cant imagine 55 lbs and trying to hang it on the cable

  • @clockbuilderhg I do too, i always hear this version on clocks located in England. Herschede had two versions of canterbury

  • Harris & Harrington patented chime tubes in 1884, and Elliott was the first to make clock movements and cabinets using their tubular bells. They made the heaviest tubular bell movements. From the 1880s to the early 1900s many of their movements were used by other companies like Walter Durfee, Charles Jacques, R.J. Horner, Waltham, and even Herschede. Herschede didn't make their own movements until 1910 I think. Some of these early cabinets were VERY elaborate

  • Is an Eliott clock better than a Herschede clock? I prefer Herschede since they have the moon dial.

  • I like the english whittington version.

  • Elliott made the heaviest tubular bell movements, this one is from about 1905-1915

  • I think this is the best tubular bell clock I've herd on this site. Very soft and resinent tones. Wish it had a moon dial though. From what I hear, Elliott topped even the Herschede movements. Do you know how old this clock is?
