In the early years, Pequegnat tried everything to compete with the large American companies including mimicking popular styles to stay trendy. This rare "Grecian" model mantle clock is an example, featuring a painted black case with faux marble trim. Although made of oak, it emulates the cast enameled clocks made by American competitors like Seth Thomas and Waterbury.  Tastes changed quickly and these early “black” Pequegnats are extremely rare. They only appear in the company’s first Catalogue.

In rare cases, railway lines, in this case the Grand Trunk Railway, would special order clocks to be hung in their stations.  This example was ordered by GTR and features custom "GTR" glass and a 15-day movement usually reserved for the "Moncton" model, which was a favourite among Canadian Railways.

In rare cases, collectors will discover Pequegnat “variants”: clocks that share Pequegnat attributes but that never appeared in sales catalogues. Some “variants” are “one-offs”. Others were produced by companies and individuals by acquiring “loose” parts from the Pequegnat factory. In the case of the "Barley Twist", there are a handful of examples known. Three are featured in the Curt Davidson Collection. Although a tag reveals that the Jacobean-inspired case was made by Baetz Bros. Furniture, it is unclear who fitted them with movements and sold them.

In a few cases, models received updates in features while retaining their general style.  Collectors refer to the earlier examples as the "1st Issues" and the later examples as "2nd Issues". This first early 1st issue King Edward model is rare that it features a brass bezel and a cardboard dial, features that were changed with the introduction of the 2nd issue roughly following the end of WWI.
