She'd also said her clock was from the 1970's era. At that time she hadn't yet given me any photos but had typed out the numbers shown on her clock. She had written to me via a private message, asking if I could help identify her Ridgeway clock. Hope this helps! First of all, a point of clarification for those who might be a bit confused by Pamela's (divamobile's) seemingly 'out of nowhere' message. The model 166 is the 'Breton.' The catalog has a photo & description (see attached).Īs of Sep 1, 1977, the suggested retail price of the Breton with an E movement was $799.00. However, my 1977 catalog does indeed contain sls1098's clock. Sorry I can't provide more information than that. In looking at the color-square, I would wager that Islay's clock is Cactus Green. Along with all of the various wood-stain finishes, there are also the following colors which were available at that time: Cerigo Yellow, Aztec Blue, Antique White, Canyon Red and Cactus Green. I can, however, mention that the back of the 1977 catalog has a list of available finishes, showing color-squares as examples of each. Unfortunately, I'm unable to identify Islay's clock (the first one in this thread).
#2009 OAK RIDGEWAY GRANDFATHER CLOCK SERIAL NUMBER 98008970 TORRENT#
Torrent Antares Microphone Modeler Vst here. I've since acquired a 2nd one, which dates from 1977. At the time I made my original follow-up posts in this thread back in Nov 2008 (posts 10, 11 & 13) I only had one Ridgeway catalog, dating from 1997. I just happened to notice this thread, which was begun back in November 2008 by Islay and recently revived by sls1098 earlier this month on March 2nd. It also includes a page torn out of the then-current catalog, which illustrates my clock as Model 210 - The President Monroe.
The clock appears to have been made in 1966 (at least that's when it was originally purchased as a new clock from the Ridgeway company), and includes all of the original paperwork, warranty, extra suspension spring, letter from the original buyer to the Ridgeway company asking for some further info, and their letter in reply. It was all still with the clock when I acquired it in 1997. (Continued from preceding post)- I also just dug the original paperwork out of the bottom of one of my Ridgeway grandfather clocks. The only painted models are a couple of off-white ones ('Pickle Frost' finish) and a couple of black ones ('Black Raven' finish). I went through all the clocks earlier today to see if Islay's green model (or any other painted models) were in it, but I think my 'catalog' is too new to have Islay's. Examples: 7253 - Remembrance III 7429 - Inglewood II 9002 - Waterford 9116 - Wellington 9109 - Sutherland 7408 - Kent II 9413 - Atwood 9707 - St.Īugustine limited edition 9537 - Baxley 9644 - Kirkland Etc. All of the clocks (mostly 'grandfather' types) have both model numbers and model names. I have a Ridgeway 'catalog' (which is actually a folder with a bunch of loose 3-hole-punched color sheets) from ca. Thanks very much for anything you can add. I was wondering if the experts on this great board would be able to shed some light on this wonderful and highly effective grandmother clock. I also do not know the exact dating of it other than the mysterious etching on the envelope which I just noticed today even though I've owned this clock for over 13 years. What I do not know is the 'Model'/'Design' of the clock if Ridgeway even had these labels/lines/brands. The outside of the deteriorating envelope has the date Dec 1964 etched into it as if by a ball point pen that had very little/no ink flowing through it. I have included a photograph of the Parts List for Ridgeway Clocks with 'E' Movement. I do have the original envelope of documents that it came with which includes 'Clock Assembly and Operating Instructions'. The face of the clock says 'Ridgeway' in the center and 'Made in Germany' along the bottom beneath the VI. It dutifully chimes on the quarter hour (15/30/45/hour).
I received it in 1995 and it has kept excellent time ever since. I inherited it from my aunt and uncle who passed away in the 1980s. I am seeking some basic information about my Ridgeway Grandmother clock. Ridgeway Clocks By Serial Number 8,3/10 4886votes
