- Description:
- Ithaca Calendar Clock Company was a local manufactuer of calendar clocks in the mid 1800s and early 1900’s, until their bankrupcy in 1917. The patent of these clocks was created by Ithaca inventor Henry B. Horton, and eventually acquired by the Ithaca Calendar Clock Company. The peak of prosperity for the Company was in the 1800s, when they produced around 30 different types of clocks. Today, Ithaca Calendar Clocks are held in many public and private collections. The Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. was re-establish in 1981, and continues to make a small number of the Calendar Clocks by hand [“Ithaca Calendar Clocks Patent,” The History Center in Tompkins County, accessed August 14, 2012, http://www.thehistorycenter.net/calendarclock.html].
