Antique Column Mantle Clock by Van TasselAs seen in the Canadian Clock Museum, this unique antique clock was made locally and sold by a peddler in a horse drawn wagon door to door to households in rural Ontario, Canada. It was an innovation at the time, the first clock widely available to middle class families due to the brass clockworks sourced in Connecticut. A family heirloom, this clock has been in one Canadian home for three generations. Fabricated by W. H. Van Tassel in the mid 1800s
