E.H. Larrabee of New Durham, N.H, was one of the antique clock  collectors who had a fascinating display at the Nortands during last month’s Heritage Days. Among his collection were three Depression-Era clocks which featured “FDR — the Man of the Hour” and his “New Deal” and two workmen celebrating the end of Prohibition. Larrabee has about 200 clocks in his collection. Another exhibitor, Carroll Morse of Woolwich, displayed clocks with wooden works, made in the mid-1600s so common people could have clocks. Both men are members of the Maine Chapter the National Association 89 of Watch and Clock Collectors. ”
