Today my show and tell is about our collection of antique ogee clocks.
The first one is our favorite. It is a wooden works clock, and I love the reverse painting on the front of the horse drawn carriage.
In our almost 28 years of marriage we have collected alot of ogee clocks, most of the bought at auction sales.
The one on the right is a favorite because of the painting of Mt. Vernon, home to our first President, George Washington.
The name "ogee" comes from the bevel or ogee shape the frame of the clock is cut in.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Your clocks are wonderful. I love clocks. One of my very first blog entries was on my clocks. I have never heard the term ogee and I do not have any, but I will keep an eye out for them now.
those are great and I can see why you collect them!
What a great collection. I always enjoy visiting you.
My show & tell is up... vintage bling bling! Do stop by. I love the company.
For your daily dose of vintage goodness & a bit of silliness, stop by Confessions of an Apron Queen, the home of Vintage Thingies Thursdays.
I love old clocks - we have several . . . and none of them are set. It's such fun when someone new comes into the house and we catch them trying to figure out what time it is *s*
Beautiful clocks! I have a "thing" for clocks, so I really liked your show and tell.
Thank you :)

Beautiful! With your large collection you should never run out of time!
Thanks for showing us your ogee clocks, and explaining ogee, I enjoyed your post.
Love your clock collection. We have quite a few clocks but we would probably have more, but everytime I start looking at a clock, my husband says, "We have enough clocks." He's probably right, but I tend to think you can't have too many.
tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock oh how much fun. I'm so happy you shared your beautiful clocks...tick tock, tick tock, I like these. They are nice and they just seem to be right at home...tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.

Beautiful collection! Thanks for sharing them and the information.
What a neat clock collection. I had not heard the term "ogee" -- it's fun to learn something new. :) I imagine changing them all during Daylight Savings Time coming and going is a bit of a chore.
It is always great to learn new things. Thanks for sharing your fine collection of ogee clocks.
Linda, these are beautiful. Thank you for sharing them.

You have a great display of clocks. How special to collect them over the years.
I counted mine after having seen several bloggers post theirs. I have about 18 clocks of different kinds--not including alarm clocks. I should post them sometime. Have a great weekend.
What a fabulous collection. Have a great day and a wonderful weekend.
Your clocks are lovely! I posted my clock collection last week. :) I just love the ticking and tocking.

Hi Linda, I'm so glad you came by my blog, it led me to yours and I have enjoyed my visit! Your tulips are GORGEOUS!!! My favorite were the purple ones...and the poppies were so pretty too! Our spring has been late...it frosted just last week, so I have been late getting my plants out! I was able to work on them Saturday.
