Pezuegnat Mantel Clocks”A” to “E”
Amherst – (2 Versions)
The “Amherst” was shown in the Pequegnat 1928 catalogue. Shown are two versions of the same clock. One with the catalogued crown piece and the second without the crown.
Both have 8 day time and strike movements, however the one with the crown strikes on a pair of tuned rods, the other strikes on a single rod.
Both clocks measure 16 3/4 wide and is 7 inches deep. The clock with crown is 11 1/2 inches tall and the one with no crown is 10 1/2 inches tall.
It’s a nice clock that’s hard to find and even harder to find with the crown missing and the single rod.
The “Brampton” is also seen with these two differing styles.
Barrie
This nice little clock was in the 1904 catalogue supplement as well as the 1913 and 1918 catalogues. The 8 day Time and Strike movement has the gong for the hours and the cup bell for the half hours. This clock is 13 3/4 inches wide by 10 3/4 inches tall and is 7 1/4 inches deep. It has a 4 3/4 inch dial with the beautiful Pie-Crust Bezel.
Sold this clock in May 2013
This is a hard clock to find.
Beauty (SOLD)
This clock first appeared in the 1928 Catalogue. An 8 day time and strike movement that announced the hour and half hour on a pair of tuned rods. The clock measures 10 inches in height, 17 3/4 inches in width and 5 3/4 inches in depth. The case is walnut. Certainly typical of the later Pequegnat “Napoleon Hat” clocks.
This clock is one of the more common Pequegnats.
Bedford – (2 Versions)
The “Bedford” was featured in the 1928 Pequegnat catalogue:
The Silvered Dial model has a 8 Day Time and Strike movement that gongs in the hours and then gongs once on the half. The little walnut case is 9 3/4 inches high, 8 3/4 inches wide and 5 3/4 inches wide.
The Enamel Dial clock also has a 8 Day Time and Strike Movement, with a gong for the hours and a bell for the half hours. The case measures 9 3/4 inches tall by 9 inches wide by 5 3/4 inches deep. The back door is date stamped “Jan 14, 1928” and the inside of the clock is stamped “Jan 11, 1928”. These are no doubt manufacturing dates.
This plain little clock is probably one of the more common models available.
Belleville
The “Belleville” was in the 1918 catalogue as well as the one produced in 1928. The movement is an 8 day time and strike on a gong. The clock measures 22 inches in height and is 16 1/2 inches wide.
It’s a harder model to find as its certainly one of the nicer Pequegnat “Mission Style” clocks.
Berlin
The “Berlin” model was featured in the 1904, 1913 and 1918 catalogues. This oak clock is 10 1/2 inches high, 15 1/2 inches wide and 6 1/2 inches deep. The movement is an 8 day time and strike. it strikes the hours on the gong and the half hour on the bell.
The oak versions of the clock are considered to be some of the more common Pequegnat’s (obviously a pretty little clock that would of been a good seller), but is also said to have been produced in black as well as forest green, these two could certainly be classified as rare and hard to find.
In 1916, due to anti-German sentiment due to World War I, the clocks name was changed to “Berlyn” and this particular clock is also rare and very hard to find.
Bijou
The “Bijou” was featured in the 1904, 1913 and 1918 catalogues. The clock is 10 inches high, 12 inches wide and 6 1/2 inches deep. The oak cased clock has a plain sash and the 8 day movement was never fitted with the half hour bell. The gong strikes the hour as well as the half hour.
This clock is considered one of the more common Pequegnat’s but I can hardly wait to get one decked out like the catalogue says.
Bonnie – (3 of 3 Models) (ALL 3 SOLD)
The “Bonnie” was made in three different case designs. All three models are 10 5/8 inches high. The Straight Base model measures 9 3/4 inches wide by 4 3/8 inches deep. The Beveled Base model is 11 1/2 inches wide by 4 1/4 inches deep. The Curved Base model measures 9 1/4 inches wide by 4 1/4 inches deep.
These clocks were only featured in the 1928 Catalogue. All have 8 day Time and Strike movements with the Gong.
They are virtually identical to the “Dominion” Models which were also in the 1928 Catalogue. The major difference is the “Dominion” has the “Decal” Dial while the “Bonnie’s” have the traditional dial with a bezel. Bonnie’s have been found with the decal dial under the traditional dial. Obviously the clock started it’s life as a “Dominion” as was converted in the factory.
All three models of the “Bonnie” are rare and are hard to find.
Brampton
Brantford
The “Brantford” was offered in the 1904 catalogue supplement as well as the 1913 and the 1918 catalogues. These large clocks are 24 inches high and 16 1/4 inches wide. It was offered for sale with an 8 day movement with the cathedral gong.
This substantial clock is still relatively easy to find.
Canuck
This clock was offered in the 1918 and 1928 catalogues. It measures 22 inches in height and is 14 inches wide. It has an 8 day movement with the cathedral gong. It came packed two to a box, or in sets of six.
It is one of the more common Pequegnat clocks.
Capitol (SOLD)
This clock only appeared in the 1928 Catalogue. It measures 21 inches in width, 9 3/8 inches in height and is 4 1/4 inches deep. It has an 8 day movement and chimes in the hours on two tuned rods. It has a big 7 inch silvered dial.
This clock must have been a popular model as it’s a little easier to find than some.
Chatham
The “Chatham” was featured in the 1913 and 1918 Pequegnat catalogues. The clock has an 8 day Time and Strike movement that chimes the hours and half hours on tuned rods. The clock measures 16 inches in height, 13 inches wide and 6 1/2 inches deep.
This nice clock is still relatively easy to find.
Chester
One of the last Pequegnat models manufactured, late 1930’s or very early 40’s. Pequegnat stopped manufacturing in 1943. According to lore this model clock was given to Arthur’s grandchildren as a wedding gift. By whom we’re not sure as Arthur died years earlier.
The dimensions are: approximately 13 inches wide, 9 3/4 inches tall and 6 inches deep. The clock is mahogany with a 6 inch dial, however this model is also reported with a 5 inch dial. It’s has an eight day movement with the strike on the hour and half-hour with tuned rods.
This model is considered to be a harder one to find.
Citidel
The “Citidel” has to be the most imposing of the Pequegnat mantel clocks. These beautiful clocks stand an impressive 25 1/4 inches high and 16 inches wide. The eight day movements are time and strike with an old fashioned gong. This clock was featured in the 1904 supplement as well as the 1913 and 1918 catalogues.
They are easier than some to find, however they command a high price due to their beauty.
Sold the Kitchener model in Mohagany in May 2013.
Classic (SOLD)
This Oak Mantel clock is 21 inches wide, 9 3/4 inches wide and 5 1/4 inches deep. It has an 8 day movement that gongs on the hour and the half. This clock was only featured in the 1928 catalogue.
This clock is rare and hard to find.
Colonial
The “Colonial” appeared in 1904, 1913, 1918 and 1928 Pequegnat catalogues. Actually Pequegnat must of liked it so much that he added feet and invented a new model and called it the “London”! Since that worked out so good he then added lion heads to the “London” and called it the “Stratford”. One box design, three clocks — not bad! It has an 8 day movement with a gong on the hour and bell on the half. The model below is in oak with a nice label on the inside the back door. It measures 15 1/2 inches wide, 10 3/4 inches tall and 6 1/2 inches deep. It is also seen with the more ornate sash.
A popular model, it explains why it’s probably a little easier to find today than many of the lower production models.
Delight
The “Delight” model only showed up in the 1928 catalogue. This model is an 8 day time and strike movement with tuned rods for the hour and the half hour. It’s in an imitation walnut case with a silvered dial. The clock measures 22 1/2 inches in width, 9 1/2 inches high and is 5 inches deep.
This clock is one of the easier to find.
Dominion (2 of 3 models) (STRAIGHT AND BEVELED BASE SOLD)
These were the “plain-jane’s” of the Pequegnat clock family. They have an 8 day movement with gong and a 5 ” decal dial. The straight base “Dominion” is 10 5/8 inches high and 10 inches wide. The Bevel base “Dominion” is 10 5/8 inches high and 11 1/2 inches wide. Missing is the Curved based “Dominion” which would complete the set of three. These three models were also fitted a sash and dials and then they became the “Bonnie” model. Both the “Dominion” and the “Bonnie” were featured in the 1928 catalogue.
All models of these clocks are rare and hard to find.
Eclipse (SOLD)
The “Eclipse” was only featured in the 1928 Pequegnat catalogue. The clock measures 9 3/4 inches high, 20 3/4 inches wide and 4 3/4 inches wide.

It’s a later Pequegnat clock that is difficult to find.

This is a clock that was produced in the later years of the Pequegnat clock production and consequently is not featured in any of the early catalogues. It has an 8 day Time and Strike movement on tuned rods. The dial is as pictured or can also found with a 5″ Silvered dial.
The clock is your more or less typical “Napoleon Hat” that is 21 inches wide by 9 1/2 inches high by 4 1/2 inches deep.
