OLD WATCH MAKER'S and CLOCK MAKER'S TOOLS

Jon Edwards August 2007

Our Museum acquired by donation in 2001 a large collection of more than two hundred old tools used by clock and watchmakers.  Some unique tools have patent dates as far back as the mid to late 1800s.

During the summer of 2007 young volunteer Jonathan Edwards identified, labelled, photographed, and catalogued all of the tools.  He then designed and set up an exhibit (shown here) of representative tools for the main display case in the museum's Exhibit Room.  In the future the pictures of the tools will be shown in a gallery on the web site.
