| Kroeber Clocks - American & Imported
Author: Tran Duy Ly584 pages, 2015 illustrations.
In co-operation with direct descendant and major collector Kent Kroeber (who undisputedly owns the world's largest collection of Kroeber clocks), Tran Duy Ly has assembled a major documentary of the extremely interesting Kroeber clockmaking and importing firm. This new Kroeber book is a must for any serious collector of American clocks.
Until now, information about Kroeber clocks has been scattered at best, with photos limited to the occasional online displays, most of which lack clarity. Now, thanks to Kent Kroeber providing access to a vast array of original Kroeber catalogues as well as professional photographs of his collection of over 400 Kroeber clocks, you'll see not only original catalogue drawings dating back to the 1860s, but also contemporary photos of many of those clocks in beautifully restored condition.
