Mable Squires brother, Sherman Squires, agreed that the old clock that had been in their family as long as they could remember would be well suited to a permanent home one day at the Historical Society.<\/p>\n<p>Furnival believes that because the clock has wooden gears rather than brass, it matches the design of other clocks made around the time of the War of 1812. \u201cHopefully there\u2019s nothing broken,\u201d said Nick D\u2019Errico, assistant curator for the Society, as he inspected the inner workings of the clock.<\/p>\n<p>As D\u2019Errico and Society treasurer Walt Brockett examined the old timepiece, Furnival perused an account book containing the late 1700s to early 1800s records of local cabinet maker Daniel Pierpont. She plans to study the book at length to see if she can find a record of Pierpont making the old clock. The clock stands 8 feet tall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a sample of something we believe was made here in North Haven. \u201cThis is part of the history of North Haven,\u201d said Bruce Dumelin, immediate past president of the Society.<\/p>\n<p>Grandfather Clocks like this may last 200 years and become not only a part of the families history but also an example of the New Haven areas clock building heritage during this period.
