ANTIQUE CLOCKS MARK TIME AT OLIVER HOUSE

About 10 antique clocks, some of which date to the 1800s, are on display today at the Oliver House in Jackson. The public is invited to view them from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Five of the clocks belong to Pat Fosse of Jackson, who has been collecting them for several years.

A member of the board of directors of Oliver House, Fosse said special displays are held at the historic house every month. Last month, memorabilia from World War II was presented.

"We choose different items for displays that we think visitors to the house would enjoy," Fosse said.

The oldest clock is a Seth Thomas Omah that was crafted in 1886. The second oldest is a Seth Thomas Selma made in 1892.

An 1895 kitchen clock made by E.N. Welch and an oak New Haven Regulator that dates to 1910 are on exhibit. Also of interest is the New Haven Occidental "side mirror" of 1895.

Some of the clocks have alarms used to awaken their slumbering owners.
