Wood Case Parts for the Restoration of Ithaca Calendar Clocks
The items listed below are the most frequently requested. I have all the patterns for these clocks and can supply ANY missing piece for any of the 42 different models. Mouldings are made on the original 2 spindled American Shaping Machine circa 1885, with the original tooling for a perfect match and fit. All CARVINGS are done by HAND in the appropriate woods. I personally guarantee every piece to be of the same standard as original manufacture. - Joel Warren, collector and restorer of Ithaca Calendar Clocks for over 40 years.
Original Formula Stain
This is the original color stain used by the Ithaca Calendar Clock Company from the Purchase Supply records of 1866/67. During the mid 1800’s you didn’t go to the hardware store to buy a gallon of paint or wood stain, you went to the local Apothecary. You bought the ingredients and made your own! Fortunately for the clock factory the “supplier” was about 100 yards away. There they purchased many of the everyday items used in their production. A private collector loaned me the original, very detailed, Apothecary records for 1866/67 showing no less than 117 company purchases. Each entry carefully recorded what was bought, who bought it, when, and the cost. After being analyzed by a qualified varnish maker, the color lost to the ages, is back.

Early Cottage, Library Model Dial and Bezel Sets

As a young company, they designed their product around the size of the available dials and accompanying hardware. The result is that they used the same hardware for their early models. The list below will conform to the following models:Iron Case ( either size ), Walnut Round Top, "Slant Top" Early Cottage both shelf and hanging, "Single Finial" Early Library both shelf and hanging models, "Carved Top" New Library both shelf and hanging models, Checkerboard ( recycled early library model with a Carved top and burl walnut case ornamentation).
