Another New Haven Flip Clock

[P-Loft]

Here are pictures of a flip clock that was apparently made by the New Haven Clock Company, but is unmarked. It seems to be related to the New Haven "Stylis" and "Perseus" models and appears to have the same movement. The clock has remnants of a label on the bottom of the case. It has the original silk-wrapped power cord in good condition.

It was found several years ago in a box of miscellaneous stuff in the basement of an old-time clock collector in a nearby town. Although he has no interest in electric clocks or digital flip clocks, I appreciate that he protected it for many years until it could be found again.

After acquiring the above clock several years ago, I searched for others of the same type. Here's one that was sold at auction in the UK a few years ago. The auction house noted that it is a New Haven clock, so apparently it was marked in some way, but a label isn't shown in the auction picture. Also, they note that it runs on 220V. Mine is almost surely 110V/60 Hz, although it hasn't been tested yet. Follow this link to see the auction listing with picture and description:

...but wait there's more:

A clock showed up on ebay in 2017 with the same metal case as the above clock, but containing a wind-up type movement by New Haven. Maybe New Haven had empty cases laying around and put a spare standard clock movement into it, to see if any dealers were interested, or maybe a previous owner put it together. Anyway, here is a picture of the ebay listing (I wasn't the lucky high bidder).

Now I see that a new member has shown a picture of his clock, which appears to be the same model. I guess they're not as uncommon as I thought. Follow this link to see a picture of Ben's clock (go down to post 10):

Interesting reuse of that clock base. Hard to say if that's a factory build or some home mod.

Hey. Glad to learn a little more about the clock. The one I have is wired with a modern 250V European plug. I just removed the cord since I don't have 250V available and I would have put a more vintage-looking cord on it if I were to use it. That also makes it easier to display on my shelf without the cord getting in the way.

I posted a comparison of mine with a New Haven Stylis, which is how I learned who the manufacturer was. Here are the pics from that:
