clock my parents purchased in Germany in the 1960's. It ran for many years, then stopped. I had it repaired, but alas, it did not weather the move from Virginia to Oklahoma very well, and it runs no more.

The clock tower was commissioned by the Amble War Memorial Committee. The designer was William Burton and the builders were a local firm called R Carse & Sons. The memorial was unveiled on 9 May 1925 by Major Vernon Merivale MC and initially dedicated to those who fell in World War I but later incorporated World War II as well.
An inside look at the clock tower in Bangor, PA. The antique four-faced clock was manufactured by the E. Howard Clock Co. of Boston, Massachusetts, and was installed in the borough hall in 1907. In addition to being Bangor’s timepiece, the clock chimed a coded ring to alert the borough fire department as to the location of the fire. They also used the tower to hang the fire hoses after a fire to dry.
After a period of neglect when the chimes fell silent, the Slate Belt Heritage Center, under the guidance and care of Jay Albert, brought the historic clock back to life again in early 2000. The help of a generous personal donation helped Jay to single-handedly restore the faces. The clock mechanism was restored by David Morgan, former president of the Worldwide Clock Towers Association.

The highly architectural shape of this portico clock and its design elements were often found in the furnishings typical of the style that developed under Napoleon's reign, inspired by Percier and Fontaine's architectural drawings. Two piers support an entablature upon which is seated a figure of Cupid holding two chained lions: this motif is a reprise of the Romanesque house front, attesting to the decorator's antique tastes. The piers are decorated with a pair of gaines, each bearing a head characteristic of the prevailing craze for all things Egyptian. The Shiny metal ornaments emerging from a mat bronze ground are also from the period's decorative vocabulary: masks, animals driving chariots pulled by other animals and allegorical winged figures. The enamel clock face bears the name of the clockmaker, Jacquet, who was based in Gisors, Normandy.
This clock has been in the house for at least 15 years. It was left by the last two owners of the house.
