Sauer Company Original Advertising clock. In 1884, at age seventeen, Conrad Frederick Sauer began work for a retail and wholesale drug business in Richmond, Virginia. As a drug clerk, he dealt directly with customers who brought in their own bottles to be refilled with drugstore products. The company grew and products such as the award winning Vanilla extract won world class awards. This clock is an original Sauers advertising clock given to store owners who carried the brand. Clock maker was the New Haven clock company. I boutht this clock years ago from a store owner who closed his store. The glass was broken but all there, I sent the glass off to be repaired and repainted. They did a beautiful job. You can see the cracks, the light camera has highlighted them. Runs great and has been a real joy to have. Kept it in my office, but now down sizing. My Slideshow Saures Original Advertising clock Richmond VA. 2017 marks the 130th anniversary of The C.
