Clock movement (55) - Brass - 1910-1920 - Clock bezels

This lot includes fifty-five brass clock movements and bezels dating from 1910 to 1920, an era that bridged the late Victorian and early modern periods in clockmaking. Brass has been a favored material for clock components due to its durability, ease of machining, and corrosion resistance, which contribute to the longevity of clocks from this period. Clock movements refer to the intricate mechanism inside a clock or watch that drives its timekeeping functions. Bezels are the rings that surround the clock face or glass, often decorative and protective. Collectors and clockmakers value such assortments for restoration projects or custom clock building, appreciating the craftsmanship of early 20th-century mechanical clocks. These parts provide insight into the engineering and aesthetic preferences of the time, often found in mantel or wall clocks with ornate design elements.
