"An ogee clock is basically a pine box covered in veneer utilizing a ogee curve in its case design giving it a unique style and its name. The earliest examples were produced in 1840, and the style continued through 1910 by almost every American maker as they were simple and cheap to manufacture without needing a lot of highly skilled labor. Typically, an ogee is a shelf clock, but they're sometimes hung on the wall. Time and strike are standard for these clocks. Additional features may include an alarm mechanism or simple calendar, but these are normally found in the later spring-driven models. ..." - http://www.bowerswatchandclockrepair.com/ogeeclocks.htm
