Vienna Regulators of Lenzkirch & Lorenz Bob by Blackwell In 1981 the American Clock and Watch Museum published a catalog entitled Vienna Regulators of Lenzkirch and Lorenz bob consisting of plates used I the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia in 1876 by Benedict Ebner, agent for Collection of Black Forest Clock Manufacturers represented at the Exhibition. The late Albert B. Ebner presented this material plus a small catalogue of clocks by Lorenz Bob (1805 - 1878), a well known Furtwangen clock manufacturer whose wife Anna Elizabeth Horrisberger (1833 - 1907) is buried in Waterbury, CT. This material, combined and supplemented with commentary, resulted ion a 120 page publication the popularity of which exceeded expectation. The compiler of this book, having what may be the oldest Lenzkirch catalog known, thought that since the Museum continues to receive requests for this publication and NAWCC Chapter #133 furnished a grant for the purpose of publishing this expanded mediation, it would be of use to those who are interested in the so-called Vienna-Regulator style of clock to have access to the illustrations of this extremely rare volume. The plates of the original are plate engravings of high quality and great detail arranged in an accordion style with cloth joints.
