In 1918, the C.F. Sauer Company commissioned the New Haven Clock Company of New Haven, CT. to produce these mahogany-cased clocks, which were never sold but were offered to stores for display with the purchase of $125 of Sauer's Extracts. Robert G. Draucker of Antique Clock Restorations was authorized to recreate a limited edition of 1000 beginning in 1991. This heirloom clock is one of the most coveted treasures of collectors.
