Elmer Stennes Girandole clock No. 10 made in 1972. Both glasses are curved and both are excellent examples of the mythological theme “Aurora.” The outstanding work was done by Melinda Ahola and she signed the back of both glasses. The dial is another “special treatment” not often found in Stennes clocks as it is a hand painted & decorated iron dial and it bears the signature of Elmer O. Stennes Weymouth MASS on the front, and it is signed by Melinda Ahola, the artist on the back. The frames, hinges, and case are all numbered #10 and the case is also die stamped 72 as this is the 10 the clock made in 1972. Another interesting detail is that this clock was made while Stennes was incarcerated at the Massachusetts Correctional Institute, Plymouth and bears the die stamped letters “MCIP.” Some of the features that define his work during the early 1970\u2019s include the use of the\u00a0Kilbourne & Proctor\u00a0weight driven clock movement die stamped E. O. Stennes Weymouth MASS\u00a0along with the “4” which represented the pendulum length), the cast lead weight is signed by Stennes (die cast in the pattern) and original to the clock, and the cast lead pendulum bob with the \u201creverse\u201d ES initials. All of the beautiful cast brass hardware and finial all made from molds fabricated by Elmer, and you may not realize that he was a \u201cpattern\u201d maker in the 1940\u2019s and worked in the coastal shipyards and learned this trade at that time. The clock measures 44\u00a0 X 12 X 4 1\/2 inches overall with a 7 1\/2 inch dial, 6 7\/8 inch time track and 5\/8 inch numerals. The clock is in excellent estate condition and it runs great ! Over the years we have been fortunate to own a number of fine, documented examples of Stennes clocks. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
