Vintage Martin Guitar

The Howard Miller 577 Pendulum Wall Clock was jointly designed by The Paul Nelson Pendulum Company and the Howard Miller Movement and Clock Company in the early 1950's. In that joint effort they created one of the most sought after wall clocks of its time and its timeless style has continued to make it a sought after time piece that is rarely available for purchasing.

The design of this clock was clear break with other traditional wall clock builders of its time and was a true fashion statement. That is however the path that Howard Miller has always chosen to take, being on the cutting edge of innovation and trends before his competition. He was never afraid to take the lead and to introduce new styles and new ideas into the marketplace, and with great success I might add has been the corner stone of the Howard Miller success story and will continue to be the case for the foreseeable future.

You will seldom ever find this wonderful creation of the 1950's available for sale, and even if you do you will find it even more difficult to find one that has been treated with loving care all of its life as this one has, leaving it in excellent to mint condition. This is the classic American made Howard Miller brass windup time movement; it carries with it that unmistakable and unmatchable tic toc of the clock as the pendulum swings in perfect cadence inside the walls of this beautiful walnut cabinet. Standing 30 inches tall from the top of the clock down to its base, you are presented with a circle of raised golden roman numerals on a brushed silver face with stylish black minute and hour hands completing a classic Howard Miller presentation. Last and certainly not least, the long golden rod with a brightly polished gold pendulum swings back and forth almost as a finishing touch to a masterful art piece. Detailed measurements are: height: 30 inches, depth: 4 inches, width/length: 17 1/2 inches, face/ 9 Inch base. The original key is included in this sale.

You will not find the opportunity to bid on nor own one of these particular Howard Miller clocks to many times in your life time, the people that have them love them and will probably not ever part with them "until death do they part" pun intended but a truth when it comes to this particular clock. Howard Miller time movements are inarguably one of, if not the finest movements in the history of clock making. They are noted for their reliability and longevity, with many of their time pieces running flawlessly since their creation in 1926 when Howard Miller struck out on his own and began making his line of Howard Miller time pieces. He insisted, from the very first clock, on Incomparable workmanship. Unsurpassed quality. A quest for perfection that everyone in his employee is still expected to this day to uphold.

Comparable Howard Miller pendulum wall clocks today sell for well over one thousand dollars, many for upwards of $1500.00. This clock is in excellent to mint condition with no dents, scratches, chips or other defects. In its appearance you would be hard set to determine if this clock were 60 years old or if it just came home from the store yesterday, with the exception that it is built much better than today’s clocks are built and will be running when many of our new clocks are gone. The solid metal gears and fine craftsmanship that went into the clocks of the 1950’s especially those built in the United States were built to last several lifetimes with proper care.
