National Magnetic Clock Corp., Buffalo, NY
National
Magnetic Clocks were made under license with the Tiffany Never-Wind Clock Company, Buffalo, NY. Tiffany Never-Wind Clock was
invented by George Steele Tiffany who is best known for the glassed domed torsion pendulum clocks such as the # 1 model pictured
below. Tiffany also licensed Niagara and Cloister to make similar clocks domed clocks.
The Serial and style numbers
can be found on the back on the operational plate. Tiffany was in business from 1901 until around 1920 and made a large number
of the domed clocks in three different sizes and styles and few of the National Magnetic or early Tiffany crystal regulator
models being made. The pure art deco style of the National Magnetic tends to suggest that they were made at the end of the
Tiffany production around 1920 when inexpensive synchronous plug-in clocks took most of this clock market.
