Description
Dating to the late 1920s through early 1930s, this innovative clock represents one of the earliest household automatic cooking timer systems. The wind-up jeweled clock movement operated independently while the integrated timer mechanism connected to compatible Crawford ranges through an electrical cord, allowing users to preset oven start and stop times-a remarkable advancement in domestic kitchen technology for its era.
The heavy cast metal case exhibits classic Art Deco styling with stepped architectural lines and a richly aged dial featuring dual timer subdials. Original Crawford branding remains prominently displayed.
Examples of these early range timers have become increasingly desirable among collectors of Art Deco design, vintage kitchen technology, antique clocks, and early household appliances.

Condition
The clock presents very well cosmetically with age-appropriate wear, finish loss, and patina consistent with long-term use and age. The winding and setting controls move and adjust as intended. Because the original range connection is not available, the timer function and overall operation have not been fully tested and the clock is therefore being offered as untested and sold as found.
