N&W Clocks

[NW Mailing List]

Jim -  Thanks for the clock information.  That confirms what Tom Aker told me years ago when I purchased a Seth Thomas #2 clock with an oak case from him.  Tom told me that it was from the N&W but there is no documentation on my clock.  I have seen some of these clocks that did have the shipping tags.

The standard clock for stations and offices on the N&W was the Seth Thomas No. 2 regulator.  The N&W never marked the dial or the clock in any way.  About the best thing you can find is a shipping tag on a clock that was repaired and sent back to the original location.  I have one sent from Ranikn Jewlers in Roanoke to Burkville, VA.  We have one at the Archives Building that hung in Jack Fishwick's office when he was president.  Not marked but I know the history where it went after his office.


The only road that I know of that had their own clock repair facility was the AT&SF.  They used the Seth Thomas school house type clock in many of their locations.  The dial was marked Santa Fe Railway System over Standard Clock.  Seth Thomas was just above the number 6 on the dial.  They were the only road that I know of that marked their clock dials in this manner.  There had to be other roads that marked some dials.

  With the recent conversation about time I got to thinking - did the N&W have a standard clock model? My father has a beautiful marked PRR Seth Thomas #2 but I've never seen anything marked for the N&W.
