Mason and Sullivan Plans search.....

Back in the early 80's I started a Grandmother clock using Mason and
Sullivan plans.
I was looking at the clock the other day and decided I would like to
complete it. Does anyone know where I can possibly
find some copies of the old Mason and Sullivan plans? Are there any still in
existance?

Jim P,

M-170) dated 1964. You can contact me at itsdark@msn if you still

There are not any clock news groups. (only computer over-clocking)
Google does not come up with much except the fact that they closed their
doors years ago.

I found this on houseclocks.com:

Mason & Sullivan had plans for most of their clocks. Woodcraft, which bought
M&S (and essentially liquidated the company), has only one plan for the
grandfather clock (and no doubt retains the copyright on the others).
Woodcraft apparently has no intention of reproducing any other plans so they
may effectively be lost. This is a list of the clock case plans from the
1987 Mason & Sullivan catalog showing the tremendous variety of clocks and
plans the company had. Unless noted otherwise, plans were for mechanical
movements. Steeple, Double Steeple, Massachusetts Shelf, Desk (quartz), Wall
with Moving Moon Dial (quartz), Mini Tambour (quartz), Coachman's Regulator,
Tambour, U.S. Lighthouse, Scroll, Railroad Regulator, School, Orleans
Crystal Regulator, Williamstown Colonial Tall, Colonial Grandmother,
Colonial Grandfather (this is the only one left at WoodCraft), Early
American Grandmother, Classic Grandfather, Shaker Tall, Connecticut Cottage,
Willard Banjo, Country Wall, Office Long Drop Regulator, Shaker Wall. 18th
Century Boston Parlor, American Mantel, No 2 Regulator, Rose Octagon,
Crystal Regulator, Eli Terry Pillar & Scroll, Calendar Regulator. Vienna
Regulator, Schoolhouse Regulator, English gallery (quartz).


Just keep digging and make some phone calls to some places that come up in
the Google searches. They appear to have been a big outfit so someone out
there should be able to help

This question is not quite Electric Comet like in it's
brevity, but it's unanswerable for lack of sufficient
information.

Do you have the dial? Do you want an electric movement
or a mechanical one? What are the dimensions for mounting
the movement?

Assuming you want an electric movement, they are all much
the same, and can be bought from dozens of vendors.

I was Marketing VP at Mason & Sullivan in the early 1980s. They were,
I think, the best of the clock kit companies.

M & S bought clock movements overseas and domestically. Most of the
dials were made in-house, and many of the other metal parts were
custom-made.

The wood parts were all M & S designs, although many of the designs
were of course based on famous originals. The wood parts were all
made either in-house or at a local (Cape Cod) millwork shop.

M & S sold whatever the customer wanted - from detailed plans through
turnings and moldings through complete pre-cut wood kits right up to
finished clocks. Their customers were primarily woodworking hobbyists
and clock fanciers, although there were a surprising number of
professional cabinetmakers as well - who found it cheaper and easier
to build from kits than from scratch.

If Woodcraft doesn't have the plans available, you might try
contacting the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors.
Many of the plans were bought by their members, and I'd bet that some
of them still have the one you're looking for.
