Questions About Vintage Ball Clock
- How do ball clocks work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A rolling ball clock works with an electric motor. Every five or 10 minutes, the top rail will deposit a ball onto the next rail to indicate what minute it is in multiples of five or 10. Every hour, the upper and middle rails reset and one ball is transferred to the bottom rail to indicate the hour. Shop a collection of vintage ball clocks on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Although Sir William Congreve patented the design in 1808, Scottish clockmaker Robert Bryson seems to have invented the rolling ball clock. Examples of his work that predate Congreve's patent have been identified by modern-day historians. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of rolling ball clocks.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Vintage is a somewhat interpretable term for older clocks. If a clock is over 100 years old, it can officially be considered antique, but vintage is a bit more open of a term. Many collectors consider around 50 years old to be vintage, but a more open concept is that if the clock could not be reproduced today, it could be considered vintage. On 1stDibs, find an array of beautiful vintage and antique clocks.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024To tell if a clock is vintage, look for a maker's mark. From there, you can consult trusted online resources to determine who produced your clock. Then, by reviewing the manufacturer's catalogues, you can get a rough idea of when the maker produced similar clocks. For a clock to be considered vintage, it must be at least 20 years old. Clocks made 100 years ago or earlier are antique. Another way to date your clock is to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer inspect it. On 1stDibs, find a collection of vintage and antique clocks.
