New KROEBER CLOCKS - AMERICAN & IMPORTED by Tran Duy Ly - We are the publisher A very important section which collectors should not overlook will be found on pages 402 to 498 – some 96 pages of IMPORTED clocks and items which Kroeber sold. Florence Kroeber was born in Germany and had connections with European manufacturers who supplied him with foreign-made clocks which he sold through his store. One will find some German-made chime clocks (1 page), German wall and shelf cuckoo clocks (8 pages), French alabaster clocks under glass shades (21 pages), French marble cased clocks (22 pages), French onyx case clocks (2 pages), French and German mechanical clocks (2 pages), French and German alarm clocks (1 page), German-made Vienna-style regulators (12 pages) and side pieces and statues, some French and others either European or American-made (26 pages). Many of these are found in collections, antique shops and auctions even today. I once thought these were mostly imported from Europe during the last 40 years by antique dealers, but now realize that many were imported and sold by Kroeber and have been in this country for nearly a century and a half.
