A Must For Anyone's Library Interested In American Clocks Herbert Nilson, Lexington, Massachusetts native and long-time New Hampshire resident, was a lifelong collector of clocks and timepieces, and an active member of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, serving as treasurer of the NAWCC Boston Convention in 1980.

Sessions II and III will be held in conjunction with Skinner’s February 2009 and June 2009 auctions of American Furniture & Decorative Arts.Session I of the Herbert Nilson collection of American clocks includes timekeepers by E.

A couple more examples from the 40-year Herbert Nilson collection included a Simon Willard mahogany patent alarm lighthouse clock from about 1830 that fetched $71,100 from a dealer on the phone.
