Hi all,
I am looking for information on the clockmaker Daniel Munroe from Concord MA, and then Boston. I would like to locate more examples of his work. The Concord museum has several examples as well as other regional museums. I am most interested in primary source materials, i.e. accounts books, period newspapers, etc. that give more information about him and his work. I will be doing the conservation work on a tall case clock by Munroe and there are some interesting questions about construction and the dial I am trying to answer.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am also working on a clock maker from West New Jersey with the name of Issac M Cooper. I found one of his clocks in our local Historical Society and want to produce it.

I have found great help working with the Local Historical Society in tracking down some of the information I need. I would start their and work outward.

Good luck in your quest.
