Love that Marshall Field & Company Label!

Ah, yes...

... how we've loved to see that XMarshall Field & CompanyX logo; later, the XMarshall Field'sX signature logo. We even have fondness for the Field Gear label for the classic, comfortable, and casual sportswear line sold in Marshall Field's stores.

Below are shown some clothing labels from a short period of time during Marshall Field & Company's long and storied history. ENJOY!

Marshall Field - Brand of Excellence

This Grandfather Clock, carrying the Marshall Field name, appears on www.clockguy.com

American Tallcase Tubular Chime Clock -BRS-06- $5,550
Signed “ Marshall Field ”

This is a beautiful example of an American mahogany case with a German tubular chime movement. Untypical of the case are the hand-carved claw feet, which are most commonly found on more elaborate cases from the likes of Horner and Durfee. This is a very elegant design -- architectural-topped case and dial, suitable for the display in the finest homes or offices.
Physical Description: 30"w x 97"h x 20.25"d; 80" smooth columns; dial diameter 13.25"; 18.75" from top of dial to peak of architectural top. Note the heavy carved paw feet -- very impressive.

Movement: Chain-wound eight-day time and Westminster strike tubular chime movement with three weights. Dial is signed "Marshall Field", indicating the clock was originally sold at Marshall Field (likely in Chicago). Many makers private-labeled clocks for the large high-end retailers like Tiffany and Marshall Field; this clock is a fine example of that practice.
