On
Thursday, December 8 at 7:00 p.m., the Leach Library will host Mr. Bob
Frishman’s presentation, “Timekeeping and Timekeepers in Early New England”.
Mr.
Frishman has repaired, restored, and sold antique clocks for more than
thirty-three years. A graduate from
George Washington University, he is a past-president of New England Chapter 8
of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (NAWCC) and the
founder of Bell-Time Clocks in Andover, Massachusetts.
With
more than 100 digital images, Mr. Frishman’s lecture will offer a history of
clocks and watches in New England beginning with the arrival of the Mayflower
up to the adoption of standard time by the railroads in the late 19th
century. The lecture will be followed by
an informal appraisal session when attendee clocks can be identified and
evaluated.
The
event is free and open to the public with seating limited to the first 90
individuals. It will be held in the
library’s lower-level Meeting Room. Light
refreshments will be served.
