Taking a break from the stamp collection. It spoils my eyesight looking thru these small little stamps :(
I was looking at pics of my old collection items and saw this Seikosha antique wall clock that I have for years - which is now "hibernating" in the warehouse.
Beautiful stuff!
From Wikipedia....
Seikosha (精工舎 Seikōsha?) was a branch of the Japanese company Seiko that produced clocks, watches, shutters, computer printers and other devices. It was the root of the manufacturing companies of the Seiko Group.
- 1881 — Kintarō Hattori opens the watch and jewelry shop "K. Hattori" (Hattori Tokeiten in Japanese; currently named Seiko Holdings Corporation) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan.[1]
- 1892 — Seikosha is established in Tokyo as the clock manufacturing arm of K. Hattori.
- 1917 — K. Hattori becomes a company (K. Hattori & Co., Ltd.).
