“The Burroughs Company, Winsted, Conn.”, miniature banjo clock, ca late 1920’s, at the same time many other clock companies were introducing miniature banjo clocks. This case contains a Gilbert 8 day movement, backwind and set, bowed glass, picture panels, and a complete label on the back. No one will speculate where the Burroughs Company was located but my knowledge of the company tells me it was a Gilbert Clock Co. subsidiary. Gilbert was struggling at the time and was introducing small clocks trying to find a niche in the clock market trying to ward off bankruptcy. Boxes that were mailed containing Burroughs clocks were postmarked, “Winsted, Conn.”, same as Gilbert. Same town, same movements, I think Burroughs was Gilbert, logical? That is all the information that is officially known about the Burroughs Company. $75-$150.

“New Haven Clock Co., New Haven, Conn.”, miniature banjo clock, “Worthy”, ca 1928. The company called this wood “Antique Mahogany”. It has aged and has been used. I would not call it real nice for it needs cleaning and touch up on some edges. I suppose the black panels and painted designs mean it is “Antique”.
