Her is my Father's Day Present that I just got back on working order this week. It is a Davis and Barber of Greensboro GA Column and Splat and its a wood works. This makes it a very rare clock. Most word works clock, much less a GA label clock were tossed out. It runs great after some adjustments and minor repairs, and the splat and chimneys have been improperly replaced. It need a nice southern themed reverse painting as well. Those will come in the future.
Davis and Barber were only in business for a very short time period in Ga. The company consisted of Josiah Davis and his nephew, Orville Barber. They assembled clock in a 2 room house in Greensboro with the help of slaves.
I have found out that Josiah Davis is buried in the historic cemetery in Greenboro.
Thanks and enjoy! If anyone else has GA clocks out there let me know......All southern label clocks are rarities.
