We try to answer all the emails we receive in the order we receive them. However, the huge volume of email requests we get each day prevents us from always being able to answer your specific questions. If our site hasn't been able to answer your questions about your clocks' history or identity, we recommend you try the following Internet resources:
Helpful Forums and Organizations
••• The National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (NAWCC) is an organization with an excellent horological library and professional research assistance. Their Museum Library and Research Center is one of the largest horological libraries in the world. It provides free research services to Association members. Non-member research services are provided for a fee.
If you need a fast (and free!) answer to your question, the NAWCC Message Board has a public forum that allows you to post your question. Forum members are generally very knowledgeable and helpful about answering questions.
