Notes:
[1] A label on the bottom of the clock indicates that it was offered for sale at Adams Stationers in St. Louis.
[2] John Roslevich purchased the clock at an estate sale in 1977. He hypothesized that the Shrewsbury collector might have been the first owner of the clock, since it still had a stationer's label on the back of it when he purchased it [notes from a conversation with Janeen Traen of the Saint Louis Art Museum, October 21, 2005, SLAM document files].
