For nearly 40 years, Roscoe and Nadine Buchanan of Morristown, Tennessee, collected clocks of every type from Jewelers Regulators to French Marble, to Kitchen, to Ogee, To Regulators, to Figurals, to Novelties, to Mantle & Shelf as well as Wall clocks. A family ritual on Sunday was to wind all of the clocks. Roscoe died in 1990 and the clocks were never wound again. Nadine died earlier this year and the clock collection had been forgotten for many years. The family is offering the clocks, unreserved so that collectors can enjoy these antique time pieces. There are approximately 50 watches as well. Makers include all major American and European from 1850-1930.
