Tall Clock, ca.1810
Little is known about Jacob Eby, younger brother of clockmaker Christian Eby of Manheim. Tax records
list him as working from 1803 to 1828. He was a prolific maker. He and his brother were apparently trained by Manheim clockmaker Samuel Stauffer (1757-1825). Stauffer was trained by York clockmaker Peter Schütz, who came from Switzerland via Germany to York about 1755. The clocks of Schütz, Stauffer, and the early clocks of the Ebys retain some of these Swiss and German features. Most prominent is the detachable frame pillar, which is pinned to the front and back plates. Many of his clocks have movements with seconds and calendar from the center, even on some 30-hour movements. He used both dead-beat and recoil escapements.
