Mint coil strip of 25 in original sealed USPS package.

The term American clock refers to a style of clock design. During the 1600s, when metal was harder to come by in the colonies than wood, works for many American clocks were made of wood, including the gears, which were whittled and fashioned by hand, as were all other parts . These clocks often featured elaborate ornaments, astronomical indicators, and celebrated scenes and figures from American history. While the term doesn’t refer to a specific type of clock, it reflects the craftsmanship and ingenuity of early American clockmakers who created unique timepieces using the resources available to them.
