  • Cornell clock by Bruck Calnek Cornell University Clock Tower by Bruce Calnek (Cornell '55, Emeritus Prof Vet Med)

    Made of solid walnut and cherry, this clock was inspired by the McGraw Tower Clock on the Cornell University campus. Standing 12" tall, it features 3 quartz insert clocks on the front and sides. It is offered with or without a "pumpkin" on its top, the former to commemorate the prank in 1997 when a 60-pound pumpkin was found mysteriously impaled on the top of the spire. $95.00

  • Cornell Box by Lauren Cotrell Cornell University Clock Tower Box by Lauren Cottrell

    The inlayed McGraw Tower is struck from a single plate of sterling silver. First, a two dimensional drawing has been transformed into a three dimensional steel die. Then the silver plate is struck with 100,000 pounds of pressure to bring the clock tower into relief. The clocktower is then handsawed from the plate and set into raw red silk. The walnut box is 6 inches by 6 1/4 inches. The silver plate is 4 by 4 1/2. There are a few walnut and cherry mixed boxes and if you want one of those please indicate it on your order. $189.
