Street clock in front of Stacy Shown & Co. Jewelers, Seattle, circa 1918
Order an ImageStreet clocks such as this one were popular during the first two decades of the 1900s and were often found in front of jewelry and watchmaking shops. Jos. Mayer and Bros. began in 1897 in Seattle and manufactured many clocks during the first two decades of the 1900s. Joseph Mayer and Bros. assembled this street clock, and many others in Seattle. This clock was made for Stacy Shown & Co. Jewelers, located at 309 LC Smith Building. The clock, like many Mayer Bros. street clocks, has glass windows in the base which reveal the clock mechanism.
