Description : This artefact is a wooden clock that is designed to be placed on a mantle. The body of the clock is made from wood which has been stained a rich mid-brown. The center section of the body is raised above the end sections in a broad curve. The center section houses the face which is comprised of a circular form with black number printed on it. The center of the circle has been remover and allows the wood of the body to show. The hands are made of a silver coloured metal. The same metal has been used to form the edge of the glass cover that protects the face. The clock has four brass plaques affixed to the center section. The plaques are not original to the clock and have been added after the clock was produced. They describe the presentation of the clock to the Newfoundland Ranger Barracks and list the men who stayed there in 1937. The clock rests on four wooden legs that are stained the same mid-brown.

Fonctions : This clock was presented to the Whitbourne Newfoundland Rangers Barracks by the men who comprised the 3rd contingent.
