made by New Haven clock company for Dungan and Klump of Philadelphia 1907-1910, 8 day time and strike, spring driven, 35" tall, scarce original, oak case, mouse tells the time....According to Brooks Palmer, (A Treasury of American Clocks, 1967, p.277 and p.338) here is what we can tell you about this firm:The New Haven Clock Company originally made these Dickory, Dickory Dock Clocks, c.1910 under contract for the firm of Dungan and Klump; that would be Elmer E. Dungan and Charles M. Klump who did business at 1208 Chesnut Street in Philadelphia between 1909-1912. They apparently made three models of this clock in the New Haven factory, and a fourth in the Sessions factory under a 1910 patent. They also made some miniature models.Elmer Ellsworth Dungan (1862-1930) of Flowertown, PA was, “a self-taught, self-made inventor.” He (must've loved younger women!) married Margaret E. Murray (1893- ). Listing an address of Fort WAshington, PA in 1909, he received patent no. 912-833 for a “mouse clock”, subsequently known as the “Dickory, Dickory Dock Clock”, or the “Dickory, Dock, The Mouse Ran Up The Clock” clock!
