Featured in this lot is this New Haven "Calendar" pocket watch with a J.O.E. Company brass vest fob made in Pella, Iowa from the early 1920-30s. Clockmaker Hiram Camp and associates created the New Haven Clock Company on February 7, 1853, to supply clock movements to the Jerome Manufacturing Company, the world's largest clockmaking enterprise at the time. Three years later, the Jerome firm went bankrupt, and in April 1856, the New Haven Clock Company raised an extra $20,000 to buy the Jerome operation. By 1860, the factory employed 300 men and 15 women and produced over 170,000 clocks each year. The old Jerome factory was destroyed by fire in 1866, but a new brick factory was quickly built, and it still stands today with several expansions. Their working force had increased to 460 men, 52 women and 88 children by 1880 and nearly half a million dollars worth of clocks were produced that year. Non-jeweled pocket watches were added to the line that year and were offered until the 1950's. This pocket watch shows a yellow / tan clock face with black numbers and lettering and red numbers bordering the outside of the clock face. The back of the watch is engraved with a steam engine image. connected to the watch is a beautiful brass and gold plated (not tested) vest fob manufactured by J.O.E. Company in Pella, Iowa.
