024.  C.1740, John Holroydin, Wakefield, English 30-hour 10" brass dial single hand tall clock movement. This 18^th Century movement appears original to the dial, as there are no extra holes on the dial or movement. The clock had a date wheel now missing, and the dial aperture has been soldered closed. The movement has a tab that would have tripped the date wheel {could be put back by a good craftsman} There is no weight nor pendulum {uses a single weight, suspended between the two trains}.

027.  C.1840 Birge, Mallory & Co., 8-day weight column and cornice shelf clock, in generally fair condition. The case has been stripped and needs to be properly finished; there are veneer chips on the cornice and base and a piece needs replacing on the lower door. The dial shows some signs of wear around 9 and the mirror in the half moon opening in the dial is missing. The top door glass is original while the two lower glasses are replacements, now with paper lithographs instead of proper tablets. The clock probably had feet originally. The strap brass movement is properly signed. Label is excellent; some modest attention on this clock would double its value. Height 35½" $250--$350

028.  C.1840, Boardman and Wells, Bristol, Conn., 30-hour with alarm wood movement half column and splat shelf clock. This is a nice clock in unrestored condition. The upper glass is original.

The upper glass is original with a tiny crack in the lower corner; two lower glasses are replacements. The clock contains a standard Forestville type movement with 24-hour count wheel. Some loss on dial, lower edge at tie downs. With the proper glasses this could be a great looking clock. Height 36½" $325--$425

The oak case is missing both bottom return moldings; weights are damaged and do not match; dial with hairline at 4. Pulleys are new replacements. Still, it is ticking and striking and it will restore to a good looking clock. Ht 42" $300--$400

032.  C.1906, Ansonia Clock Co., "Regulator A" 8-day time/strike school clock, in good condition, with restoration. The walnut veneer is in excellent condition with only a small chip on one corner.

033.  C.1853, E. & A. Ingraham 30-hour time/alarm miniature lyre front shelf clock. This cute refinished clock is veneered in mahogany and rosewood. There is a little veneer damage on the door. The label is about ¼ flaked away, but what is there is quite legible.. The dial, hands and tablet are original. The tablet has flaked a little in places and is jagged on the bottom edge, apparently cut/sized in a hurry when it was new, has been that way for a very long time. We've gotten as much as $900 for this model in better condition; this is still a decent example. Height 11½" $250--$350

034.  C.1838, Jeromes and Darrow, Bristol, Conn., 30-hour wooden movement double decker shelf clock, with restorations. This case has been refinished {not the faux shell columns}, and there are small veneer chips on the doors, base and the top cornice. Someone has tried to clean the dial and touch up the gold work {not well done}. The mirrors and tablet are replacements. The dial glass is old but has been out of the door. The clock has an interesting label. It was made by Jeromes and Darrow, and part of the overpasted label of T.M. Roberts for E. C. Brewster has been torn away to reveal the original maker of the clock. This is a very early clock in the Brewster sales effort, and of course represents the last gasp use of wood movements in a double deck case. Height 22" $300--$500

035.  C.1845, Forestville Manufactur'ng Co. Bristol, Conn, 8-day, 2-weight, double-decker shelf clock, as-found with restorations. There is some veneer damage on the top edge and along the sides.

039.  C.1870, W. O. Corning & Brown, New York, perfume display case with clock and in excellent original condition. We've had several of these over the last 20 years, but never one with a label {albeit with tears and losses}.

Here are the names: Saratoga Bouquet, Newport Bouquet, Tea Rose, Niagara Bouquet, Honey Suckle, Oriental Dew Drop, Night Blooming Cereus, Bo'k de Caroline, Jockey Club, Patchouly, Pond Lilly, & West End. The 30 hour lever movement is original to the case, with great original dial and is running. Ht 16" $250--$350

040.  C.1875, E. Ingraham & Co., "Venetian No. 2" 8-day time/strike/alarm rosewood shelf clock in generally good condition.

042.  C.1890, Seth Thomas, Movement Only, No. 61, for Regulator No. 2, 6 9 & 30 or any model using this 80 beat movement. Complete with iron bracket, hands and a good old banjo pulley.

043.  C.1920, E. Howard & Co., 24" Oak cased electric [DC] slave clock with original 18" dial. We were unable to verify the condition of the solenoid, however all of the parts appear present and intact. The dial is wonderful with a great signature. Light oak case seems to have been refinished some time ago. Great item for the battery/electric crowd. Ht 24" $175--$275

044.  C.1915, Standard Electric Time Co., oak slave timepiece. This very large 24" dial slave is in attractive condition. Unfortunately the slave movement was removed and replaced with a 110v. electric movement. The case has been refinished to a medium caramel color. The original dial is in excellent condition, with original hands. Even the glass is old. You could choose to leave it as is, put in a slave movement or install a battery movement. In any case it would be a dramatic look hanging on your wall. Our estimate is based on the value of the case. Height.30½" $200--$300

045.  C.1870, German for the English market 30-hour time/strike wood plate drop dial. This walnut and walnut burl case was made to look like the fusee models being produced at the time in England.

048.  C.1870, Anglo-American 8-day time/strike walnut wall regulator. This is an English case with E. N. Welch Mfg. Co. movement. This clock is very similar to lot 303a, except this case has a single rather than double roll at the bottom.

The dial has some minor paint loss. The tablet in the door is an appropriate replacement. The hands are original. Movement is clean and running and this is overall a good looking clock, ready to enjoy. Height 31" $250--$350

049.  C.1905, Seth Thomas, Gilt White metal mantel clock in good condition. These clocks were made in a series, see also Lily and Meditation. We searched the catalogs at the Clock Museum and are unable to identify this model, however it is an "all Seth Thomas" clock and worthy of your attention. The one flaw it has is that someone has brushed over the entire clock and bezel with gold paint {they got some traces on the paper dial too}. This clock should look fantastic when restored. 8-day movement with gong on the hour and bell on the half hour. Ht 12½" $200--$300

050.  C.1947, Swiss, Luxor, 8-day brass and chrome desk timepiece, with original presentation box. This clock was purchased at the Fürstenfeldbruck Army Exchange in Germany in 1947 for $46.50 {receipt with box}. This example is showing some loss of the silvering on the columns. The box has a little damage on the back, at the hinge. The original price tag is still on the bottom of the box. An interesting piece purchased by someone in the military just after WWII. The well jeweled movement is running, but would benefit from service. Absolute first quality. Ht 6½" $200--$300

051.  C.1900 French bronze "Fan on Easel", 8-day mantel clock, in Chinese motif, in good original condition. This art nouveau piece is complete and sound, just needs minor attention. The bronze dial has porcelain cartouche numerals that have come a bit loose, and small chip on numeral 12 {in white area}. The pendulette movement is ticking but would benefit from service. A substantial and well made novelty clock. Height 18½" $300--$400

052.  C.1835 Forestville Manufact'ring Co., Bristol, Conn., 30-hour wood movement half-column and splat shelf clock. One rarely sees a wood movement clock from Forestville Mfg. Co. There is some veneer loss on the base and on the top edge. The right chimney top is damaged. The upper glass is original, while the mirror is old, is probably not original. The dial has some minor paint loss. The hands are original. The stenciling is very nice and may have been enhanced or restored. The label with minor losses but fully legible. An interesting clock for J. C. Brown collectors. Height 33¼" $200--$300

053.  C.1874 Ithaca Calendar Clock Co., "No. 7 Shelf Cottage", in good condition with restorations. The walnut case was nicely refinished some time ago. The top dial is a replacement, some time ago and with stains. The lower dial has minor discoloration from age and the original calendar rollers are dark. The lower calendar hand is from another clock, but looks OK; replacements are available from Timesavers. Not a bad example; estimate reflects condition. Ht 22" $550--$750

054.  C.1881 Ithaca Clock Co., No. 3½ Parlor Calendar, as-found. This walnut and ebony trimming model at first glance looks very nice but it has some serious shortcomings. The dial paper is new. The time only movement is out of a 30-day wall model and the calendar mechanism is a reproduction. The stenciled glass calendar dial is new. The one good thing is the pendulum is old. With the proper movement and bell it would still be an attractive clock, for less than one in original condition. For reference, see Ly's book titled Calendar Clocks, pages 132-33. See also lot 392b. Height 20½" $600--$900

055.  C.1880, Ithaca Clock Co., No. 4 Hanging Office Calendar, 30-day, in walnut, and in generally good condition. The walnut case has been refinished, and could use another coat; bezel has some minor separation at the 4 seams. Both dials are original paper over zinc, and show some wear and fading in spots; original rollers are a little faded but intact. Uses Welch double spring time movement; retains original hands. See Ly's Calendar book, page 136 for additional information. About ¼ of inside label is missing; rest is legible. Top movement was professionally cleaned in 1996. Height 28" $600--$800

056.  C.1878, Welch, Spring & Co., Round top, short drop regulator. This rosewood model is in unrestored condition; someone started to strip the case and so finish is absent from the left side and bottom trim. The dial has minor paint loss around the mounting screws and winding holes. Both glasses are original {bottom tablet superb}. The label is a little dark but legible. It just needs some shellac and rubbing to bring out the grain. Graining is still intact on bezel. Height 24" $250--$350

057.  C.1880, Ithaca Calendar Clock Co., No. 10 Farmer's calendar shelf clock. The walnut case is in nice clean condition. The top is not typical for this model but based on the color of the wood it has been on there for a long time; our guess is that a good cabinet maker made it a century ago after the original fret was lost. The upper dial has a little discoloration in the lower half, but the bottom is dial is quite clean. Original pendulum. Height 24 " $450--$650

058.  C.1909, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "Empire No. 65" crystal regulator, in sound but dirty condition. This clock needs a good cleaning. All the brass work needs to polished and the 4 metal columns have lost much of their gold finish. The dial is perfect and the hands are original.

059.  C.1870, German, 1-Weight "Vienna Regulator", 8-day time only rosewood case in the style of 1840, in fair condition. These cases with fine barley twist columns were most popular in Berlin. There is a little veneer loss on the top and some roughness on the base. The case lacks small carved finials, and the top capitals are improperly replaced. The chapter ring has some hairline cracks, and the dial center was chipped and glued over with a piece of white paper {took us a while to see this!}. The well made movement has dead beat escapement and maintaining power. This is a nice classic, elegant design case, and deserves some more restoration; would have been $800 if nicer.

069.  C.1918, Pearson, Page, Jewsbury & Co., Birmingham, England. 20^th century reproduction of a water clock.

077.  C.1900, Black & Murray, London & Calcutta, #525, 56 hour chronometer movement in original canister, as- found. Original dial, hands, bezel and good beveled glass. Silvering worn on dial. A restoration challenge as the movement needs attention and has a broken balance staff and is missing its hairspring. The fusee chain is detached, but does not appear to be broken. No gimbals or wooden carrying box. Dial diameter 3¾" $200--$300

078.  C.1850, Chauncey Jerome Botsford Patent 30-hour lever timepiece. This little brass front timepiece is in good condition. The dial has a hairline crack in the center and repairs to the three and nine position. The clock sits on an original base with brass feet, and with traces of hand painted decoration on the front of the base. The dome has a small piece missing on the bottom, about the size of half a penny. Botsford's design was unique, using a mono-metallic {brass} balance oscillating in a horizontal plane, and the lever impulsed by a 'scape wheel rotating in a vertical plane. The layout is rugged and these are always strong runners. See also lot #82. Height 11" $550--$750

079.  C.1878 E. N. Welch Mfg Co. "Briggs Rotary" novelty clock in good un-restored condition. The dial bezel is missing. The base has some paint loss. The dome is a replacement.

080.  C.1920, Waltham Clock Co., ¾ Size lever banjo in as-found condition. The movement, dial and case are nice on this clock, however the tablets need professional attention from Lee Davis or Karl Barathy, as they are flaking considerably. There are minor nicks and scrapes to the case, but nothing worthy of major comment. A set of restored tablets will make this into a $750 clock. Original Waltham eagle intact. Ht 30" $300--$400

081.  C.1878 E. N. Welch Mfg Co. "Briggs Rotary" novelty clock in very good to excellent original condition with original dome. The only thing that keeps this from being outstanding is wear to the original paper dial. Even has the original velvet trim ring on the base of the dome. Runs fine. Height 8¾" $500--$750

082.  C.1850, Chauncey Jerome Botsford Patent 30-hour lever timepiece. This brass front timepiece is in good condition, now on a late Victorian base with round dome. The original paper dial is in good condition. In this example the gold wash on the brass façade has been polished off and the brass has turned brown. Still the movement is complete and sound and running strongly. Botsford's design was unique, using a mono-metallic {brass} balance oscillating in a horizontal plane, and the lever impulsed by a 'scape wheel rotating in a vertical plane. The layout is rugged and these are always strong runners. See also lot #78. Height 11" $500--$700

083.  C.1910, Seth Thomas, UMBRIA, oak cased wall clock, with restorations. The case has been refinished to a golden oak color; main bottom trim is missing {front gingerbread is there}. This clock has the large 15 day double spring time only movement with seconds bit. The dial has some crazing, but is in remarkably good condition; original hands and pendulum intact. Estimate reflects condition. Ht 38½" $500--$700

084.  C.1855, J. C. Brown, Bristol, Conn, 8-day time/strike rosewood cottage clock, in generally good condition. There is some minor veneer loss along the bottom of the base.

085.  C.1855, J. C. Brown, Forestville, Conn, 8-day time/strike rosewood steeple clock. The case has some veneer loss on the base and a little on the lower front molding.

The movement is signed, and the clock has very good label with minor stains. Nice embossed pendulum bob. Height 19¾" $250--$350

086.  C.1865, E. N. Welch Mfg. Co., Forestville, Conn, 30-hour time/strike/alarm mahogany steeple clock in generally good original condition. The clock retains its original finish.

Label with lower losses; still legible. Height 19½" $150--$200

087.  C.1836 {dated label}, Charles Stratton, Holden, Mass, transition wood works shelf clock. This has a 3-train, internal alarm movement {with small weight}. The case was professionally refinished some time ago and has nice patina; some minor veneer repairs and other minor splits that need attn. Has a great dial and a superb label that should appeal the Massachusetts collector. Ht 34½" $300--$400

088.  C.1860, Seth Thomas, Column Clock, 2-weight, 30 hour, in very good to excellent original condition. The case is fine with original finish and faux shell columns. The original dial has one minor flake below 11; floral corners are still intact. The movement and label are signed Plymouth Hollow; label has about 30% loss, but is still quite legible. A very clean example of the Column model. Ht 25" $350--$450

089.  C.1900, French for Roehm & Wright, Detroit, MI, 8-day hanging pressed brass wall timepiece. Fancy open brass dial with French inset numerals. Original Rococo hands and sunburst pendulum bob. Height 22" $400--$600

091.  C.1857, E. Howard & Co., Boston, No. 5 Banjo with restorations. This clock retains its original paper over zinc dial {with tear and minor losses}which was used just a short while after Edw Howard bought out David Davis. Has a nice early pinned movement, properly signed. The hurts on this clock include: the case has been refinished and all of the graining is now absent; the tablets were redone by someone handy with gold leaf but who didn't have an original sample and the pattern is the wrong size and shape. Also weight is a replacement, and tie-down and baffle are absent. Otherwise a decent clock in running order; pattern still visible on pendulum. Estimate reflects condition. See also lot #330. Ht 29" $900--$1,200

092.  Mixed lot: C.1890 Howard #2 movement, now in new banjo size #2 case. Not much to say here -- this is a large and good looking clock for someone who cannot afford $6500 for the real thing. Movement is about 40% larger than #5 and properly signed and with proper "2" stamp. Our estimate is based on what you might have to pay someone to make the case for you and install the movement. Ht 44" $1,750--$2,250

093.  Mixed lot: C.1850 Howard & Davis #1 movement, now in new banjo size #1 case. Not much to say here -- this is a large and good looking clock for someone who cannot afford $7500 for an original. The well made movement is signed Howard & Davis, Boston, has dead beat escapement and maintaining power, & was recently cleaned and in good running order. Our estimate is based on what you might have to pay someone to make the case for you and install the movement. The case is nicely grained and very attractive. Ht 50" $2,000--$2,500

094.  C.1877, Seth Thomas, Sons & Co, NY, Pattern 8055, double statue mantel clock. This is a decent clock, but has a few faults: 1> the pineapple finial on top should be an urn {although this looks OK} 2> The musician at left is missing her flute; 3> This clock was recently cleaned and is running strongly, but the repairman fitted an incorrect pendulum which we have replaced with the proper ST pendulum. However, now the suspension leader is incorrect. {easily changed}. The porcelain dial is properly signed and with minor scratches; minute hand incorrectly replaced with a French hand. The casting itself is in good condition and the multi color finish is unusual. This model clock appears on the inside front cover of Distin & Bishop's The American Clock. Would be worth $1000 if correct. Ht 16½" $500--$600

095.  C.1925, Japanese, Hotel Regulator, in good condition, with some restoration. Patterned after large American wall regulators that sold successfully, this design gives you a lot of "Look" for the dollar, and the quality is nicer than similar large clocks imported from Asian companies today. The oak case has nicely detailed carvings {removable for shipping} around the dial and on the base, and retains its original finish that has been nicely waxed. The 8-day Ansonia type movement {Asian copy} is clean and running, strikes the hours on a coiled wire gong. Unfortunately the original dial got damaged and someone pasted a new paper dial to a piece of pressed wood, and glued it into the oak bezel. To make servicing the movement easier, they added top hinges to the bezel; you simply remove the hands and lift the bezel for access. The consignor paid $1100 for this clock, being reassured by his local auctioneer that it was American. Ht 53" $500--$750

096.  C.1900, French, Vincenti & Cie., Paris, bow front crystal regulator with portrait pendulum. This case originally had profuse decoration with clear and blue glass brilliants, which have all been replaced with an aqua color simulated turquoise. Perhaps this belonged to a Navajo. Note these decorations appear around the portrait on the pendulum, the bezel and on the case uprights. The settings have all been strained with this change, although the stones appear to be firmly glued in place. The well-made rack striking movement sounds the hours on a coiled gong, and is in running order. Note one side glass with edge chips. Ht 11½" $500--$700

097.  C.1880, English, Large 8-day ship's timepiece, as-found, with holes in dial filled. This large cast brass case is made to attach to a wall, but is now mounted in a walnut bracket. The dial is heavy silvered brass, well engraved with Roman numerals, which now have paint instead of dial wax. There must have been a name or something on the dial that has now been filled in with brass & solder. The unmarked movement is of very robust proportions, and is enclosed in a heavy brass box with a sliding brass side to expose the escapement for adjustment. It is constructed so the balance works in a horizontal plane. The hands are original. A signed American piece of this quality would bring several thousand dollars. Height 13" $400--$500

098.  C.1905, English, 8-day chain fusee gallery timepiece. The dial has a little flaking, but is overall very nice condition, and signed: Ingram Bros. Wood Green, London and also with the royal insignia of Edward VII The boards that make up the mahogany bezel show minor separation at the glue joints {not bad}. The pendulum bob is from a Gilbert kitchen clock, the kitchen rod soldered to the old English rod {pendulums are available from Timesavers}. The case housing the movement is in excellent condition with nicely made dovetail joints, and with original finish. The hands are original, bezel hinge never broken; heavy movement complete and sound [needs cleaning]. Height 16" $400--$600

099.  C.1989, French, L'Epee, Repro Lyre clock in very good condition. L'Epee obtained a license to sign the dial and rear case cover with the name LeRoy, Paris; the movement itself with L'Epee stamp. This clock seems to be in good order and has been running here for several weeks….a little tricky setting the pendulum in motion, but once it settles down, the brilliants swing briskly from side to side. The case is imitation marble with cobalt blue finish {some minor blemishes}, and the ormolu trim is all brightly gilded. When new, these retailed for just under $5000, about the cost of an old one. This one has lots of flash for a considerably lower estimate. Ht 22" $900--$1,200

100.  C.1925, Waltham Clock Co, Willard Model Banjo in good condition, some restoration. The tablets have been professionally repainted and show nice detail. Retains original dial signed both "Waltham" and Smith Patterson Co. Eagle is old with proper markings, has been buffed on a wheel, so is a bit bright. Some glue on throat indicates it has been glued. Still overall good condition with original finish; needs cleaning. Ht 40" $1,000--$1,400

101.  C.1875, Seth Thomas, Office Calendar No. 2, in generally good condition, with restorations. The walnut veneer case has been stripped and varnished, and needs more finishing. The dials have been professionally re-painted {smooth finish}, with proper fonts and patent information. Also both sides of the case are lacking veneer and there are several veneer repairs to the cornice and top. Retains original label, weight, pendulum and rollers. Potential; runs. Ht 42½" $750--$1,000

102.  C.1826, E. Terry & Sons, Plymouth, Conn, later style "Box" clock with "window shade" alarm, as-found. This clock is from the collection of Haddon Kirk, and it is my opinion that whomever he acquired this clock from in 1957, had assembled it from parts. First off, the movement is a Samuel Terry, modified to accept the alarm levers; dial appears to go with the movement, as it is painted a bit low for this case layout; having said that, it has great gilt pineapple corners and red and green leaf trim inside minute markers. The window shade alarm is original to the case and is intact; label is a bit dark but legible. For reference, see Ken Roberts' book on Eli Terry, page 76, figures 23a+b, also see Distin & Bishop, figure 228. Estimate reflects the value of the rare parts. Ht 22½" $1,500--$2,000

103.  C.1860, English 2-Fusee Skeleton Clock, striking the hours on a bell, and with period replacement dome. This clock came to us from storage and will need some attention. The cable on the time side is fraying and will need replacing; clock once had a gong for striking, now on a bell. Pendulum bob was lost and replaced with a French unit. Retains original silvered plaque, signed "T. Bennett, Lytham". The movement itself of good quality with delicate 5 spoke wheels throughout, except for motion wheels which are 3 spoke. Couple of misc. spare holes in frame. Height of clock 13", with dome and base 16" Would have been $5000 if all original; runs and strikes as is. $2,000--$3,000

104.  C.1880, Welsh {English style}, signed W. Boddington, Rhyl., 8-day fusee time/strike wall clock. This mahogany example is in nice condition. The painted dial has a few paint chips around the winding holes and at the mounting screws. The carved bottom ornament has a little damage to the leaf tips. The brass bezel is a replacement. The clock has a very nice shaped plate fusee movement with chains intact, and strikes on a large bell; was professionally restored at great expense in 1992. Height 31" $600--$800

105.  C.1880, Austrian, 3-Weight Grand Sonnerie wall clock, in walnut, full column case, as-found. This clock was professionally cleaned, and seems to run and strike fine. The case itself is absent entire lower bracket {had a splat with side trims}, and top finials are lacking as well. Burled spandrels on the door are damaged and partly missing; door lock intact but has no key {it needs a tiny one}. Movement, dial, pulleys and pendulum are all very good.. no dents, etc; the dial signed: Joh. Reinhart, Wien. The back board of the case has a wonderful burled panel. The right cabinet maker can see the potential in this clock; ht 40" $1,000--$1,500

106.  C.1858, Howard & Davis, Boston, Mass., "Banjo No. 4", with unorthodox but attractive restoration by Gerald Ruscoe. A bracket was added to the bottom of the case and both glasses, although old, are not original {great painting of king Neptune is flaking in the sky area}. A chimney was also added with a finial. The high point of this timepiece is the addition of brass side arms! The original rosewood graining is now gone, the case nicely refinished. The signed dial is original, along with the hands, movement and weight. With the proper glasses, the additional cabinet items could be removed for a final restoration…..or enjoy as is {it really is good looking}. An original No. 4 is worth around $2500, and our estimate reflects condition. Height 38" $800--$1,200

107.  C.1840, Massachusetts banjo from the Attleboro area, in generally fair to good condition. There are a couple of small veneer chips on the front, and the sidearms have been repaired a couple of times. The glasses are old; lower tablet paint and leaf are original; center tablet is old, perhaps re-done long ago, as the leaf lacks an accent line. The dial is flaking and has been touched up and the paint is still shedding; it will need professional attention. Bottom box needs attention to the weight baffle. Not a bad old banjo. Ht 33" $600--$800

108.  C.1875, F. Kroeber, "Regulator No. 43", with restoration and missing top trim. See Kroeber 1874 catalog for image of this model. This case is of ash with burled veneer on the door on front surfaces; also with Eastlake style incising in the case. Although the original gold leaf tablet is intact, the glass pendulum has been replaced with a brass unit.. The dial pan is old; freshly painted with "K" logo by the Dial House. Back of case has a vertical dry split. The book calls for a length of 43 inches if complete, this one measures 39½" as shown; clean and good running order; strikes on a cathedral gong. Would have brought $2000 if correct. $800--$1,200

109.  C.1820, French, Alabaster Mantel Clock in good running order. This good looking clock has most of its carved flowers intact-- top spray from urn is lacking; ormolu dial has nice floral themes and bright gilding. The last repairman took off the silk thread adjuster and added a suspension spring [can be put back if you are a purist]. He also replaced the hour hand with one too large and then cut the end to length. All these things aside, the clock runs and strikes on a delightful bell. Note this clock will soon be 200 years old, and is a lot of "antique" for the money. Take care not to lose old winding key {quite small}. Not a bad clock. Ht 15½" $500--$700

110.  C.1865, French, 4-Column Empire clock, as-found in fair to good condition. This photogenic clock has some veneer chips on the case, and the carcass has warped a bit and split the veneer in a couple other places; something has stained the veneer around the bird inside the portico. There is some worm damage on base, mostly on the left side, however none appears to be active at this time. The well made bell strike movement has an engine turned brass dial on which the gilding is worn. Apparently the original pendulum got displaced and a repairman drilled half dozen holes in cock trying to find the right length for this period pendulum. When excellent, these tend to bring around $1500. Ht 19½" $500--$700

111.  C.1900, French, for Maple & Co., Ltd., a green onyx and ormolu boudoir clock. This is not a bad clock, but the glue joints failed at one time and all of the onyx pieces, have been reglued without first cleaning off the old glue. The seams all line up well in the front, but are a little garish from the rear. It has a high quality timepiece movement, with a small lever platform spanning both plates; runs OK. The porcelain dial has floral wreath trim and is in excellent condition; original moon hands. The case has 8 pieces of chased ormolu trim and 4 turned bonze feet; very attractive. Winds and sets from the rear; this was expensive when new. Ht 9½" $375--$475

112.  C.1905, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "King Bee" 8-day time/strike/alarm Oak hanging gingerbread clock, in excellent restored condition.. This is an extra nice model with decorative metal ornaments; the case has been refinished to a golden color. This clock does not appear in the Seth Thomas clock catalog, however, there is a wonderful label on the back that notes that this model was made 'expressly' for the L. B. Price Co. of Kansas City, Mo. The tablet is original along with the pendulum. Although the dial has some stains from the stripper, this is still a very attractive clock. Height.29¾" $375--$475

113.  C.1790, German, Gottfried Seidler, in Leippa, a well made Grand Sonnerie, + calendar mantel clock of 1-week duration, with restorations. This fellow must have apprenticed in Vienna as the workmanship on the movement is outstanding. The diameter of the movement is 15cm or 6 inches, and with very large springs, enclosed in stationary brass sleeves in the Viennesse style. The quarters +hours are struck on two separate bells, one a later French bell; note one cock screw is missing. The porcelain dial has center +perimeter repairs, and the hands are replacement Japanese school clock hands and need something better. The delicate case has been refinished with spray black, and the rear slip panel has been replaced with a plywood door. Retains original repoussé brass pendulum with tiny embossed cherubs. Most clocks from this time period run for only a day or 2 and it is unusual to find one with a large week movement. Ht 20". A restorable 18^th Century clock that would have been $1000 if original. $300--$500

114.  C.1885, Austrian, Gebrüder Resch, "Remember" 2-weight Veinna regular in fair to good condition. This is not a bad clock, the well made remember movement still has old gut on it from Austria, and with serial number 57550 is an early and well made item from this firm. It is not easy to tell from the image, but this clock is about a ¾ size, with 5½" dial. The dial has some hairlines; the case back is lacking a little trim molding around the dark section, the finials are replacements, and there are dry splits in the door; weights old but one hook improper and bent. Still everything is complete and sound and a good workman can complete the restoration. Best part is the melodious rod strike. Ht 44" $600--$900

115.  C.1830, French, Ormolu & Bronze figural clock, a pensive lady with a bird perched on her hand, in generally fair to good condition. Part of the gold has been rubbed from the case, but most of it is still there and quite bright. The silvered dial was cleaned with silver polish and the numerals rubbed off and put on again with a pen. The well made bell strike movement has silk thread suspension and is complete and sound. The pendulum is a replacement, but seems to work fine. Ht 12¾" $500--$750

116.  C.1880, Swiss, 10-Tune Music box, the music movement not original to the case. This is a great sounding box with no broken teeth and good dampers. But it has lost it's display cover and dust boards inside the case. The tune change lever and start stop have been extended out the right side of the case, and the inside controls are absent. It was originally a Paillard box with "through the case retainer bolts", and those holes have been filled with sections of dowel. Has an extra strong double spring motor, and well made nickel plated 13" cylinder that plays an assortment of Waltzes, marches and arias. Despite its lack of originality, it will please someone to own this box. Width = 23", ht 9" $1,000--$1,500

117.  C.1905, Seth Thomas, Office Regulator in an oak case with 9 inch dial, as-found. This clock uses a standard 80 beat, weight movement, same as Regulator No. 2, however, this model does not appear in Seth Thomas catalogs. The case has typical ST hinges, latches and hanger and an oak veneered back; it is a simple rectangle with top and bottom screwed on with round headed wood screws. The dial has been in-painted with white paint and is flaking badly -- falls off to the touch. Movement is clean and runs OK. Ht 34" $500--$700

118.  C.1842, E. C. Brewster & Co., Bristol, Conn, 30-hour time/strike iron backplate movement OG shelf clock, in generally good condition, with restorations. The case has been refinished to show the beautiful rosewood and mahogany veneer, and had a pretty heavy coat of varnish that needs wire-wooling down a bit. There are some minor veneer chips on the flat area of the case. The original dial has been papered over with a printed dial. Both glasses are original. The clock retains its original brass springs. The escutcheon plate for the key lock is missing; hands are old, but not original; retains nice Brewster label. An early OG that will respond to restoration. Height 26" $250--$350

119.  C.1842, Daniel Pratt, Jr., Reading, Mass, 30-hour time/strike iron backplate cornice top shelf clock, probably by Brewster. This clock is in unrestored condition, and with various small veneer losses. The upper glass, dial {with losses} and hands are original. The mirror is very old and may be original with just the putty having been replaced. This clock has a proper Pratt label pasted inside, and there could be an E. C. Brewster label under the Pratt label. Height 21½" $400--$500

120.  C.1900, French, Ormolu & Brass carriage clock in an unusual round case with beveled lenticle at top. Has a nice porcelain dial with no cracks. The platform/cylinder escapement is mounted on the back plate for easy access to F/S adjustment. The movement is signed simply "France". Ht 5¼" $175--$275

121.  C.1900, French, H & H, Brass Cased Carriage Clock, time, strike and repeat in generally good condition, with a single horizontal hairline across the dial. This clock has been in storage, but is complete and sound, the original lever platform intact and the strike train working; it would benefit from service before regular use. The minute hand is a replacement and does not match. Ht 5¾" $325--$425

122.  C.1920, French, Brass Cased Carriage Clock, time only, for Bailey, Banks & Biddle, Philadelphia {signed on dial}, and in fair to good condition. The only thing that keeps this from being very good is a chip in the dial, top right corner. Retains original hands, lever platform and good glass, and also with a travel case. Ht of clock, 5¼" $150--$250

123.  C.1900, French, Brass Cased Carriage Clock, for J. E. Caldwell, Philadelphia. This is a time and alarm in a cute case with turned bun feet and finely embossed bands around the top and base molding. The original lever platform is intact. This clock came from storage and will need cleaning. The minute had has been replaced and is too short; brass polish has dripped down in to all the crevices. Ht 5¾" $125--$175

124.  C.1920, German, Shelf Cuckoo in very good original condition. The case has a bird and 6 leaf [3 pairs of 2] that is a little unusual. Retains original dial, bone hands and bone grommets around the winding holes. The heavy movement has cast lyre shaped plates and is geared for 56 hours, but generally wound every day. Has good original flutes with nice tone {one new bellows} and a neat wooden bird with articulated beak and wings {with paint loss}. In good running/cucking order. Nice small size, 15" $500--$750

125.  C.1875, Bradley & Hubbard, Meriden, Conn, ADMIRAL, blinking eye clock in fair restored condition. Biggest hurts are a broken front base foot and the entire figure repainted in garish colors. The original movement is running strongly and with old lead eyes with good action. The original bezel and dial pan are intact; paper dial and hands are new. See also lot 465. Ht 16" $500--$750

126.  C.1910, Seth Thomas DING DONG model mantel clock in very good to excellent original condition. This is one of their Adamantine veneer clocks with rosewood finish. The original dial is xlnt and signed "Seth Thomas - Ding Dong Strike". Strikes on 2 cupped bells mounted to the side of the movement. Partial label on rear cover. Ht 11¼" $200--$300

127.  C.1910, Seth Thomas, Chime Clock #57, 5-bell Sonora with restorations. The mahogany case has been refinished and there are a couple of runs in the finish. Biggest problem with this clock is it is a 5 bell case and bell set up that got separated from its original 5-bell movement, and a 4-bell movement is now in place. There are several extra holes inside the case to indicate that both movements have been changed. As these were factory produced clocks, the dimensions are basically the same, the mounting slightly different. This situation aside, the clock has a great dial and wonderful sound, chiming Westminster on the quarters. Best thing to do is enjoy this clock as is. Ht 12" $300--$400

128.  C.1900, English, Large Single Fusee Hanging Street clock, with 24" dial, in need of restoration, but certainly the most substantial fusee clock you will ever see. The movement {measuring 8 x 9½ "} has a 4" spring barrel and a fusee to match, plus Graham style dead beat escapement, and mounts in the case on a large seat board. The case itself is brass and brass veneer over wood. The entire assembly is well over 100 pounds. The retaining screws for the original hands have been lost and the pendulum is a replacement. Absolutely NO commercial shipping on this piece; must go by blanket wrap or be picked up in person. Ht 30" $800--$1,200

129.  C.1998 {dated behind dial} Reproduction Lyre clock with some Elmer Stennes components. Although most of Elmer's unfinished clocks and parts were bought by Foster Campos, there were still a few items that got out into the marketplace. He had silk screened dials that turn up occasionally at Nawcc Marts, plus the odd signed weight and so on. This clock is virtually identical to Elmer's work {see lot 361 for comparison}, and is very well made. It uses a signed Kilbourn & Proctor movement. Includes a genuine Stennes signed weight and one of Stennes original silk screened dials. And 100 years from now, folks will probably assume this is a Stennes. Ht 40" $2,000--$2,500

130.  C.1880, Austrian, 2-Wt Vienna Regulator in generally fair to good original condition. The well made Viennese movement is of high quality and mounts in the walnut case on a wooden slide. The well made hour hand is original; minute hand an old stamped replacement. Veneer in the case back had some separation bubbles. Door with some dry splits and veneer bubbles also. Old top with repairs. Clock seems to run reliably and is still OK for the price conscious buyer. Ht 48" $500--$750

131.  C.1880, German, 1-Weight Regulator in the Viennese style and in generally good condition. Someone glued the bottom finial onto the top and we couldn't get it loose to make the swap; other 5 finials are replacements; very minor loss to walnut veneer along the top, and one small quarter round molding gone just under that top finial. Otherwise this is a good old clock with clean movement and perfect dial with original hands. Runs fine and looks good; movement is original to the case. Ht 44" $450--$550

132.  C.1890, Waterbury Clock Co, German Style wall clock, unknown model. At one time or another just about all of the American companies tried to capitalize on the popularity of the "Alt Deutsch" look by offering their own open spring movements in cases German design. This movement is original to the case, and is clean and running; retains original pendulum, cathedral gong and Waterbury beat scale. Top appears to be a bit narrow, possible from another clock. A big clock with great masculine look for the money. Ht 46" $500--$700

133.  C.1865, Austrian, 2-Wt Vienna Regulator in generally good condition. The well made Viennese movement strikes the hours on a coiled wire gong. The hour hand is replaced with a later factory hand, minute hand has its tail broken off. Pair of pulleys are from a later Becker; weights do not match and with some dents. Dial is excellent, and clock seems to run fine; movement is original to the case. Decent looking. Ht 39" $500--$700

134.  C.1875, Austrian, Gebrüder Resch {Remember} 3-weight Vienna Regulator, large walnut ¾ column case, with restorations. Although the movement is the correct length for this case and running OK, we are unsure whether it is original to the case, as it has a 3/8 inch dark pine riser under the mounting bracket. Movement, bracket and pendulum all matching numbers = #6867. The walnut top trim is modern, stained to match; accent in rear of case is new. One weight with cosmetic damage & bottom loose. Has been cleaned and seems to be running OK. Best part is the fancy grid iron pendulum. Ht 55" $1,250--$1,750

135.  C.1920, German, Westminster Box clock in oak and in very good original condition. This clock is in good running / chiming order and ready to be enjoyed. Retains all 3 panes of beveled glass in door. Ht 29½" $225--$325

136.  C.1840, Massachusetts Weight Banjo, the mahogany case with crotch mahogany panels in the throat and door. This is a decent old banjo that retains original movement, dial, pendulum and weight. The minute hand is incorrect, but appropriate replacements are available. Some very minor edge chips may be found on the veneer. Although it is running, the movement would benefit from service. Good Americana. Ht 29½" $700--$900

137.  C.1855, Wm. S. Johnson, 16 Courtlandt St, New York, 4-Column Mahogany shelf clock, 30-hr, 2-wt, time and strike, in very good condition, the case attractively refinished and with minor veneer repair. The best part of this clock is the nice geometric glass with multicolored compass in the center, and striking aquamarine background. Retains original wafer weights and super label. A very nice example of these NYC clocks. Ht 26¾" $300--$500

138.  C.1930, Waltham Clock Co., Model 8514, Colonial Shelf clock, in generally good original condition, needing repair to the hands. The tablets are also flaking, mostly the background; if you are careful you may be able to save these. The Waltham literature touts this clock: "This happy adaptation of a quaint colonial clock is an exclusive Waltham design." 7-jewel lever movement is running fine, but the hour hand has separated from the hub and the repaired minute hand should be looked at too. With original Waltham key. {finials and key inside case}. Ht 12" $375--$475

139.  C.1901, New York manufacture, novelty souvenir frying pan clock. The front has a color transfer with angels in very nice condition, trumpeting the 1901 Pan-American Exhibition in Buffalo. Uses a 1-day balance wheel movement. The back of the upper handle is embossed with "C. P. Chouffer, Jeweler", who claims to have manufactured the clock [he may have drilled 3 holes to hold the Conn. movement]. Has some rust around the hole in the end of the handle, otherwise good paint, and original stencil "Official". Ht 11" $175--$275

140.  C.1868, A. D. Smith, {Cincinnati, O}, Marine movement gallery clock in very good original condition. This is an interesting clock; it includes a copy of a letter sent to the previous owner by Snowden Taylor, explaining that the clock contains a Hubbel movement [8-day timepiece]. The case is an S. B. Jerome patented case, [simulated leather over pine with brass trim] the front decorated with pressed brass stars, cavalry bugles and crossed swords. Snowden agrees with the owner that this clock was made to commemorate the Civil War. Good label on back, over original wall paper, which is about ¼ worn away. Seconds hand is absent, but replacements are available. Wonderful Americana, clean and running, one of the better clocks selling Saturday. Letter at podium. Diam = 13" $375--$475

141.  C.1905, Waterbury, Regulator No. 20, in oak and in generally good original condition. The bottom has had a little restoration and been reglued in place. The weights are rectangular cast iron and there is plenty of room in the channel for them, but they sometimes catch on the inside edge of the bowtie as they descend. So you will need to either put a small pine ramp just above the bowtie, or use 2 smaller weights. The movement wants to run willingly, so I am sure it would still run fine with smaller weights. Modern regulator decal can be easily removed if it bothers you. The old finish has turned a bit dark; clock retains original Waterbury label {with losses}and beat scale in case bottom. Ht 38" $1,000--$1,250

142.  C.1900, English, Brass cased engine room clock, the dial and brass flange identified with the letters "GSSR", now mounted to a board with hanger.

143.  C.1900, German, Novelty Swinging Arm clock, as-found. This is a fairly photogenic item, but we are not sure the clock arm was always with the statue. The jewel bar is new and is soldered into the boy's hand. The figure itself is brass over spelter {with wear}, a shirtless boy with rolled up shorts, carrying a jug of water on a shoulder strap and is out for a summer walk in the woods. The gilding is worn on the arm {which is large, 12" in length, and there is a dial repair near 6. Total ht 19½" $500--$750

144.  C.1850, English, G. Giaccomelli, mercury wheel barometer. The inlayed mahogany veneered case is in very nice condition with no veneer damage.

The level indicator is empty. The mercury tube appears intact with a small amount of mercury still inside. Height 38" $200--$400

There is a nice label in the case from Marine Instruments, Ltd, plus a certificate of accuracy from Husun, signed by the chief inspector, D. H. Perkins on Nov 25, 1944. The sides of case are mahogany, while the original top & bottom are plywood, secured with brass screws. The inside of the lid is marked "wartime case". This was likely used on a naval ship. Box measures 11" square $300--$500

147.  C.1890, American Waltham Watch Co., gas light timepiece, with period gas fixture and valve assembly, the hardware in good original condition. The clock is contained in its original case; the cloth covering the case has deteriorated, separated and rotted along the edges. The interior is in better condition. The dial has some roughness around one mounting screw and the Waltham trademark is slightly worn; dark blue chapter and numerals are near perfect. The hands are original. Balance intact; runs for around an hour. Height 5½" $200--$300

148.  C.1850, English, Moncrieff, South Shields, double fusee wall clock in good condition. The only item worthy of comment that we see is a replacement English pendulum has been installed. Otherwise it is a very good and original clock, with lovely carved bezel and original dial and hands. Strikes the hours on a large cast bell. The movement is running and striking strongly, but would benefit from service prior to prolonged use. Ht 22" $800--$1,200

149.  C.1905, Ansonia, Royal Bonn, La Claire, in generally good original condition, except for a small stress crack on rear leg, and a small piece out of the left front toe.

The signed dial has suffered attempts to restore flaking paint and numbers. The hands are incorrect replacements. The lock escutcheon is missing. The great wheel on the strike side has been incorrectly repaired. Someone took a wheel from a different movement and soldered to the remaining portion {amazingly still strikes}.

155.  C.1845 Terry & Andrews, Bristol, Conn. 30-hour time/strike OG clock, in good original, as found condition. The are some minor veneer chips on the flat corners.

Biggest item to comment on is the center base of the clock has been drilled out with a brace and bit by someone who thought the pendulum leader hooked to the verge rather than its post and needed a recess in which to swing. {you can verify this incorrect thinking easily} It does keep time well above this cavity. Full label with stain at bottom. Ht 19¼" $400--$600

166.  C.1832, Asaph Hall, Clinton, Geo. (Georgia), 30-hour wood movement, flat column and splat shelf clock. This is a very nice clock with tiger maple columns and mahogany splat.

The new tablet is a paper print of roses, glued to glass, and then sprayed white from behind. The upper glass is original. Inside label with wear but fully legible. Recently cleaned and running. Height 17¾" $250--$350

169.  C.1880, Yale Clock Co., New Haven, Conn., "Grandfather" 30-hour timepiece. A nice example with incised decoration. The little crest is missing from the top and the groove it fits into has been filled. The dial has darkened a little, but is still quite good for a paper dial of this age. There is very nice label on the back with minor losses. Case retains original black enamel finish and gold highlights. Ht 16" $100--$200

170.  C.1850 Pond & Barnes, Boston, Mass., 8-day time/strike rosewood beehive shelf clock. The case has some veneer loss on the curved front areas and on the base. There is some damage on the back edge of the area near the peak. Both glasses are original with the lower glass having faded with age. The hands are modern replacements. The dial has been nicely repainted, but has a spurious signature of J.C.Brown. The original movement is marked "Forestville", and came out of the Brown shop, but he would have shipped a resale clock with unsigned dial. Movement is running OK. The gong support has been moved around, although it looks to be original. Ht 19" $125--$250

171.  C.1950, Swiss Brass frame desk timepiece with 8-day jeweled lever movement. The heavy brass case and dial with raised numbers is very nice condition. The dial glass is perfect. There is a little loss of the old luminous enamel in the minute hand. Heavy & high quality; seems to run. Height 6" $100--$200

172.  C.1917, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "Empire No. 300" 8-day time/strike crystal regulator, in clean condition, running and striking. The silvered dial has some scratches, and the repairman has installed the brass bezel upside down. The beveled glass panels are perfect. The pendulum is an old replacement and bottom 2 nuts are incorrect. Uses ST #48, round movement with rack strike. Height 9½" $250--$350

173.  C.1885, German, Gustav Becker, 2-Wt regulator in the Viennese style, with restoration. This is a very clean clock, the only item to mention is the replaced top, which is a Gazo top from the 70's, stained to match the case. The well made movement is serial number 410632, and is original to the case, and with typical Medaille D'Or award marks on the rear plate. A good looking clock. Ht 51" $600--$800

174.  C.1890, Austrian 1-Weight Regulator in good original condition {only non-original item we see is the 2 acorn finials on top}. The only item that keeps this from being excellent is a light spider web in porcelain dial near 7. Otherwise this is a nice clean clock in good running order. Walnut case has some minor touch-up to the finish, but is overall clean and attractive. Ht 43½" $500--$700

175.  C.1875, Ansonia, Crystal Palace No. 2, now with the bezel from a "No. 2, Extra". Note the movement and dial plate have only 2 supports for the standard pan and bezel. See Ly's Ansonia book {1998} , pages 96-97, to see that the fancy heavy bezel requires 4 feet for the dial and 4 attaching screws through the chapter ring. This also has the earlier rectangular plate movement, signed Ansonia. Original dome and base are xlnt. Pendulum is a a reissue. If correct it would have brought $800. Ht 17" $375--$475

176.  C.1850, Unknown 30-hour brass, time/strike and alarm shelf clock. This clock is hard to read. It appears to be a handcrafted case in solid mahogany. The case work is nicely done and has enough age to be period. The door glass and mirror are old. It looks like an example that you might find by one of the Massachusetts makers like Charles Stratton; retains dust board over pulleys at top. The dial is clean but the two hands don't match, and do not fit well. A very attractive and well made clock that needs only minor attention. There is no indication that it ever had a label. Height 28½" $150--$200

177.  C.1880, Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Conn., 8-day column and cornice shelf clock, in fair condition. There are some veneer chips on the case and a paper dial has been glued on the original dial pan. The gold leaf columns have a little wear, but are still very bright. All the door glasses are original, and fruit tablets are nicel. Major hurt is the front cornice molding which got lost and someone put a piece of OG molding straight across {supposed to be 5 mitered pieces}. The movement is properly signed. Estimate reflects condition. Height 32½" $175--$275

178.  C.1833, Eli Terry, Jr., Terryville, Conn., 30-hour wood movement half column and splat shelf clock, in fair condition. This clock has some veneer loss on the base and top edge. The chimney caps are replacements. The two glasses are original but the lower is now clear. The original stencils are very nice, especially the double eagle on the top splat {note splat is incorrectly nailed to chimneys}. The movement is a very good 42-tooth short pendulum. The dial {with inside minutes}, and hands are original. Door now attached with side hinges. Height 31½" $200--$300

179.  C.1880 Ithaca Clock Co., "No. 8 Shelf Library". This clock has its share of problems. Although the walnut case is good condition, the top crest is missing and the backboard is a replacement {well done}. Someone has taken a calendar movement from an Ithaca wall calendar and mounted in this case. The time and strike movement with calendar snail is original. The calendar mechanism, with some modifications can be made to work in this case; original rollers are intact and bright. Ht 22½" $300--$500

180.  C.1830, Massachusetts 8-day weight banjo clock, some poor restoration {expensively done at a retail shop, sticker in case}. The lower tablet which is flaking, is original but has been out of the door {depicts 1812 naval battle}. The throat glass is a nice replacement, well done to match the lower door. The rope front gilding was been brushed over with gold paint. The old dial appears to be from another clock, as there are extra blocks in the head to allow it to be fastened with screws. The period hands are very nice. The pendulum bob is old with home-made rod and keystone {barely adequate}. Despite all, runs OK. Height 33" $600--$800

181.  C.1840, Geo. Hatch, Attleboro, weight banjo, now with dial repainted, including an attractive but spurious signature of E. Howard & Co., Boston. The bottom tablet has been re-done to match the style of the throat {nicely done}. Dr. Kimball bought this clock from a shop as a genuine E. Howard clock, which is sad as he paid a Howard price as well. Our estimate reflects the current value. Ht 29" $700--$900

182.  C.1875. E. Howard & Co., Boston, "Marble Dial No.28" timepiece. This wall clock has problems. The lower half of the marble broke away and was replaced with a wood panel that is now hinged to the bottom of the case. The numerals have been touched up and the Howard signature is wiped away. The tablet is also missing. If you have access to someone who can do marble work and have a piece of old marble, this could be restored. Movement, weight, pend, and hands are all original; part of the external F/S adjuster is missing, but a good mechanic can restore it; also Geneva winding stop is missing. Estimate reflects the value of the parts. Height 29" $500--$700

183.  C.1880 Seth Thomas Parlor Calendar No. 3, in fair to good condition, with incorrect restorations, missing gong.. This clock has been partially stripped. The veneer on the top cornice needs to be restored. The rosewood veneer on the rest of the case is fine, with lively grain pattern. Both dials have been repainted in the format of a Fashion No. 1, which this clock is Not. The door glasses are original; inside label with tear, but OK. Height 27" $300--$500

184.  C.1860, Mixed lot. This weight banjo runs OK, but is assembled from various parts. The main case is an E. Howard #4 [32"], with throat replaced, plus a New Haven bracket added to the bottom, and with home-painted tablets; the chimney and eagle are also afterthoughts. The movement is a Connecticut weight driven job with maintaining power {Terry/Thomas style with front hung pendulum}. Lead weight is from something else altogether. Our estimate reflects the value of the parts. Total ht: 42" $400--$600

185.  C.1830, E. & G. W. Bartholomew, Bristol, Conn. 30-hour WW, stenciled half column and splat shelf clock, as-found, with major restoration. The case has been refinished and stenciling absent from columns. The column blocks and splat have most of their original stenciling. The numbers on the dial have been touched up. The original tablet is badly flaked but restorable. The feet are replacements. The largest problem is the changed movement which has been converted from a 32 to 42 tooth escape wheel {originally in a longer case}, along with new winding barrels to allow for the shorter drop. Label dark but legible. It does look good and run; our estimate is based on the value of the parts. Would have been $1500 if original. Height 28" $400--$600

186.  C.1874 Mixed lot: This is a rosewood grained case, probably by Hatch, now housing a signed Howard movement, dial, weight, pendulum & tiedown. The lower tablet has been repainted in the style of a Howard No. 11. The Howard dial is dirty and the signature is fading. The hands are period. Despite being a marriage, it is attractive and would look great on somebody's wall. Interestingly, this clock passed through John Delaney's hands in 1973, and is so noted on the rear of the dial and inside of the case. I am sure it was appropriately represented at the time. A real Howard 11 is worth around $3000+. Our estimate is based on the value of the parts. Height 33" $500--$800

187.  C.1835 Mixed lot banjo timepiece. This is a home made banjo case with a C.1830 movement, dial and pendulum. It looks great from a distance, but up close you can see the lack of attention to fine detail. We are sure the photo makes this look great, so you must bid on it based on our description. It is clean and running. Height 32¾" $300--$500

188.  C.1874 Mixed lot: This is a rosewood grained case, probably by Hatch, now housing a signed Howard movement, dial & pendulum. Note dial is repainted on the old Hatch pan. The original Hatch weight is still in use. The lower tablet has been repainted in the style of a Howard No. 11. The hands are proper for a Hatch. Despite being a marriage, it is attractive and would look great on somebody's wall. A genuine Howard 11 is worth around $3000+. Our estimate is based on the value of the parts. Height 33" $500--$800

189.  C.1920, Seth Thomas Office Regulator, as-found, the dial mask, dial & pendulum replaced. Some how the oak case got separated from its dial assembly and a repairman has made do with a sheet of ¼" plywood painted black and a standard 10 inch dial pan. He also had to relocate the time only movement up about ½ inch to line up with his new dial. Rest of clock is sound and the #41 movement is signed and in running order. Ht 35" $200--$250

190.  C.1880, Austrian, 1-Wt Miniature, as-found, movement Not original to the case. Top trim is old, but from another clock; bottom finial new and incorrect; hour hand replaced. Pendulum stick new with Seth Thomas hardware. Movement is well made and runs strongly; good porcelain dial = 4½" $400--$500

191.  C.1875 Ithaca Clock Co., "No. 6 Hanging Library" double dial calendar clock, LESS lower bracket. Bottom of case shows empty holes that once held the bracket base, plus both wall brackets are present. The walnut case is very clean & the burled panels are intact. The calendar dial is original with the usual darkening of the calendar rollers; time dial has been repapered. We wish we knew the name of the carver who made the top for this, as his skills are second to none, unfortunately he had no pattern to go by, so just carved what he thought looked nice {it does}. Despite the loss of the bottom and a new top it is still a very attractive clock. Just cleaned and running. Ht 25" $400--$500

192.  C.1880, F. Kroeber , New York, "Java", 8-day time & strike shelf clock. The dial is faded and brown in places with loss of some numbers, and has been relocated and with extra attaching holes -- though it fits fine and all of the clock is Kroeber issue, the dial may be from another Kroeber shelf clock. The tablet is original along with a very nice glass front "slow-fast" indicator pendulum. The case is of light ash and needs cleaning & waxing, but retains original finish. Height 18½" $150--$250

193.  C.1886, New Haven Clock Co., "Regulator No. 25" 8-day walnut timepiece, also called the Fatinitza, with restoration, in generally good condition, running. The case is in overall clean condition with a later varnish finish. The case originally came with choice of gold or ebony highlights which are now absent {still looks OK}. The cove moldings just below the door are new, stained to match. The dial has a little paint loss near 12 o'clock. The brass pendulum has a fracture crack in the center. Fragments of label on rear. In original condition this popular model brings $500. Ht 34" $200--$300

194.  C.1925, William L. Gilbert Clock Co., No. 3040, "Limerick" 8-day time/strike oak wall clock. The dark oak arts and crafts case is overall in very good condition. There is some minor paint on the back edges of the case where someone painted around the clock while it was hanging on the wall. The hands and dial are original {minor touch up on numerals}. The movement is signed with Gilbert trademark, and with original nickel covered pendulum, running. There is a very nice label on the back of the case. A nice beginner's clock. Height 33" $250--$350

195.  C.1895, Waterbury Clock Co., "Drop Octagon, 10 Inch" 8-day mahogany veneer timepiece, in excellent original condition. A very nice mahogany case with no veneer problems, except for a small piece missing from the back of the bottom edge {not noticeable}. The original dial has turned a little brown. The hands are original. Both glasses are original. There is good label inside the case. The movement is signed, and in running order. Height 21½" $200--$300

196.  C.1929, Wm. L. Gilbert, 8-Day Banjo, time and strike {pendulum movement}, in very good original condition. This clock is from a home in Haverhill and seems to be in good operating order. Best part is the melodious 'bim-bam' strike on 2 steel rods. Ht 29½" $150--$250

197.  C.1925, William L. Gilbert Clock Co., "Sacramento" 8-day time/strike wall clock, in overall good original condition. The silvered dial is tarnished and worn around the winding holes from use. The hands are original as well as the beveled lower glass. The movement has proper Gilbert trademark, and is in running order. Original nickel covered pendulum intact. For reference, see Ly's book on Gilbert clocks, page 159. Height 25½" $200--$300

198.  C.1925, William L. Gilbert Clock Co., "Hollywood", 8-day time/strike wall clock in generally good original condition. The mahogany finished case has some dings and scratches along the top, and minor losses on the little cast trim. The silvered dial is tarnished, mostly in the lower half. The beveled lower glass is perfect. Movement is in running order and the clocks strikes on duo-tone steel rods {sounds great}. Height 24½" $150--$200

199.  C.1930 Waterbury Clock Co., "Square Lever" 8-day wall timepiece, in very clean condition. The dial has some discoloration around the winding hole and rate scale {very minor}. This example was originally painted white and has been refinished to a maple color {looks OK}. Retains original label on rear {with paint streak}. In good running order. Height.9¼" $50--$80

200.  C.1930 Seth Thomas Clock Co., "Danvers", 8-day 4-jewel, lever timepiece, in excellent original condition. The dial is very clean with original hands and eagle finial. Part of the label remains on the back. Note this model came with and without floral transfers; this one never had any. The original finish is crazed, but all intact. Height 18¾" $50--$100

201.  C.1909, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "Orchid No. 4" 8-day crystal regulator, in generally good condition. The brass case is in need of polishing. The beveled glass panels are excellent except for the left panel which appears to be a replacement. The porcelain dial is perfect with original hands. One of the glass vials on the simulated mercury pendulum has a chip. Otherwise complete and sound; note this is the only Seth Thomas model where the top of the case is screwed on with external screws that remain visible; see Seth Thomas illustration of this model. Height 10¾" $150--$250

202.  C.1908, Jahresuhrenfabrik, 400-day clock with disc pendulum. The base needs polishing, and there are a couple of dings. The dial is perfect along with the original hands. Plate Nr. 1146, {10^th edition}, low serial number 72227. With replacement dome; needs cleaning but seems to run OK. Height 10½" $100--$200

203.  C.1910, German, 400 Day clock with 4-ball pendulum. This clock came to us as-found from storage and has had a home-made verge pivot installed from the rear, with a machine screw for adjusting. There is light rust on the arbors and a few dings in the brass base [which is 2-piece with wood insert sandwiched in step-up]. We are unable to find this exact plate in the repair guide, however the top trim and dial type would indicate either Jahresuhren or Kienzle. Despite the dirt, this clock was wound down and when we put on a few winds it took off running. Will need restoration to run reliably. Ht 11" $40--$60

204.  C.1956, Kaiser UNIVERSE, 400 Day clock in generally good as-found condition. This clock was mailed up here from a home in Pennsylvania and appears to be a neglected one-owner, that has been used steadily. The case is discoloring and the movement could stand cleaning. The bottom saddle broke off the suspension spring, but is taped to the back of the clock. There is a wear circle around the equator of the moon from the drive disc behind it. Shipping retainer for pendulum is missing, but we can tape the pend in place. Retains original dome. Ht 10" $375--$475

205.  C.1880, Austrian, Adolph Rosenberger, small 2-weight regulator, with restorations. Below Rosenberger's name on the dial is his city, Wiener-Neustadt {about 30 miles south of Vienna}. Although the case retains original finish and is quite dirty, it has had 2 recent additions: the top cove molding {well done}, and the carved Baroque top is from a piece of furniture and has new pegs to attach to this clock. Despite these changes, the clock is very restorable and a desirable size; dial dia = 4.5" . Runs and strikes; never had a bottom finial. The back of the case with the wax seal of Herbert Bednarik, Vienna. Ht 34" $750--$1,000

206.  C.1920, Austrian, 2-weight regulator, in a box style walnut veneer case with beveled glass, now with a C.1890 Remember movement. The movement fits the case well and keeps time OK, its just that you have a couple of extra filled holes where the original movement was mounted Ht 36" $300--$400

207.  C.1900, Another good looking lash up. This is an attractive Austrian 2^nd Baroque walnut wall case that got separated from its movement. Someone had the original dial and married it to a German, G. Becker movement that originally had a square dial {all this is obvious from the rear}. Then to handle the placement of the winding holes, they soldered an engraved dial center to the front of the original dial. The well made Becker movement is in running order and strikes loudly on a new gong. Would be $1200 if correct. Ht 36" $300--$500

208.  C.1920, German, Box style, 2-Wt regulator, in dirty, as-found, original condition. This has a rod strike set up. The hammer is missing from the movement, which is quite dirty; some rust on hands. Retains original hands, pulleys, weights, pend. Door with a veneer chip, lower left. Will clean up OK. Ht 34" $325--$425

209.  C.1915, German, Junghans, Westminster chime bracket clock, as-found in need of cleaning. The mahogany & poplar case was refinished some time ago and it quite photogenic; the movement is dirty and the inside of the case with dust and cobwebs; the springs are OK and the original rods have great tone. Will respond to cleaning; note minute hand is bent. Worth $450 if original. Height 17½" $225--$325

210.  C.1870 Waterbury Clock Co., Waterbury, CT, full size 8-day steeple clock with mahogany veneered case. Base of case has been replaced and newly veneered, but rest of case is original and veneer is in good condition with the exception of an inch repair on the curved portion of bottom left front. Top of left steeple is broken and missing. Decal-type glass is original, but has been rebacked with paint and some of the rebacking is lifting. Dial is repainted with logo on original dial plate. Movement is original, but needs cleaning. Height 18½" $175--$275

211.  C.1875, Waterbury Clock Co., Waterbury, CT, miniature 30-hour steeple clock with alarm in basically original condition. Rosewood veneered front and door and mahogany veneered side. There are some minor chips on door and base and a missing strip on right side of base. The right steeple has lost a small portion of the end. Alarm movement and label intact. Original decal-style glass with flowers. Maltese hands old, but do not match. Dial lacks one grommet, needs cleaning and repair of poorly repaired numerals (4, 8, 9). Height 15¼" $100--$150

Height 17¼" $100--$150

213.  C.1889, E. N. Welch Mfg. Co., Forestville, CT, "No. 8 -Iron" model cast iron mantel clock in generally fair condition. This tiny 8-day striking clock has the "Baby Patti" movement. The hands and pendulum are original. The 3½" diameter porcelain dial has chips around the key holes and a crack between 4 and 5. The ebonized iron case has some spots of paint flaked off. Note case has faux red marble sides and is in the shape of an Egyptian temple. A very uncommon Welch clock. Ht 7½" $400--$600

214.  C.1905, Waterbury Clock Co., Waterbury, CT, 30-hour backwind, cast spelter case novelty timepiece. Movement complete with winder and setting knob. Original celluloid covered paper dial is somewhat dark. All three hands are original. Case has considerable details with cupid standing on dolphin.

215.  C.1880, New Haven Clock Co., New Haven, CT, 30-hour backwind brass cased novelty, complete with winder and setting knob. Backplate is replaced and movement is 50 years later than case. Silvered metal dial with original hands. The brass case is very charming with mushrooms around base and Gnome or Imps on relief decoration on sides and one sitting on a mushroom on top. Height 5½" $100--$200

Cute case with two winged cupids holding up clock. Gilt on case is superb with some wear on a few highlights. Good porcelain dial and original hour and minute hands. Seconds hand missing. Height 10¾" $150--$250

218.  C.1920, Seth Thomas, Mini 8-Day banjo clock with an 8-day back wind lever movement and in good original condition. The only thing that keeps this from being excellent is the flaking lower tablet, which has separated from the glass over a large area and is starting to flake. The tablets have a great patriotic theme, with eagle and union shield in the throat and war ships in the bottom tablet. Ht 19¾" $150--$200

219.  C.1900, French, Gilded Figural clock with unusual pendulette movement with open escapement on the dial. It is unusual to see this type of dial on figural clocks of French origin, and it is quite eye catching. Above the clock is a large grape press, and to the right of the clock a young man, bowing a violin {bow has been replaced and entire musician brushed with gold paint}; the balance of the case and gilding are intact. Dial with info: Breveté a Paris. Time only; runs fine; note clock winds to the left. Ht 12" $200--$300

220.  C.1890, French, Carved Oak Cartel clock in generally good original condition. The wooden dial plate has a vertical dry split that has been glued once and separated again. Still all 12 signet numerals are intact, each one on a brass shield. One other minor inconvenience is that someone pushed the hand retainer pin in too far and broke off the tip of the minute shaft, so the minute hand is now held on with a friction washer. This will eventually need proper attention. The well made French movement is complete and sound, striking the hours on a gong. Ht 25" $250--$300

221.  C.1886, Ansonia, Hanging Brass Antique, 8-day double spring time only. This clock got separated from its chain, and has had a heavy hanger affixed with plumbers steel strapping on the rear. All of the porcelain numerals are intact and the clock is running. For reference, see Ly's Ansonia book {1998), page 216. Diameter of brass charger = 14" $200--$250

222.  C.1910, German, Musical Alarm Clock in a fancy walnut case in the Alt Deutsch style. This is a cute little clock, with lots of "look". There are 9 small pieces of original pressed brass trim still intact, and case retains original finish. There are some minor cracks in the veneer above the dial, and the 4 feet have been replaced, but the finish on the case is still original. The last time the clock was serviced, the repairman got the hands on about ½ hour out of phase. The original cello dial is nice and the small Swiss box plays a lively tune on alarming. Ht 19½" $150--$250

223.  C.1880 French 8-day time/strike white marble mantel clock. There is a little roughness along some of the sharp edges of the base. There is a repair on the right side of the base. There are a couple of minor chips on the top edge. The two-part porcelain dial is perfect with visible escapement. The hands are original. The beveled bezel glass good with minor surface scratches that look like shadows on the dial. The bell strike movement is clean and running, with good action on the escapement. When we put the pendulum inside the case it wedged down in the base and you will need to temporarily remove the movement {2 screws} to reach the pend. Height 12¼" $200--$250

224.  C.1900, French, Brass Cased Carriage clock, time only in generally fair to good condition. The only items that keeps this from being excellent really, are a spider web crack on the dial at 11, and a repair to the minute hand. The clock was recently cleaned and a new Swiss platform installed, and the clock is running robustly. Note interesting multi-piece case with serpentine corners. An attractive little clock for the money. Ht 5¾" $175--$225

225.  C.1890, German, Ebonized Wall Regulator, with 8-day spring movement and "R-A" pendulum, with restoration. Some case trim has been replaced and the entire case re-blacked [looks OK]. The well made movement has solid plates and cut pinions {no trademark}, and is running, but is oily and would benefit from proper service. The porcelain dial is perfect and with original hands. Ht 37" $250--$350

226.  C.1915, German, Large Springer Wall regulator, 8-day time and strike on a coiled wire gong, and in generally good condition, with restoration. The brass pendulum has some dents and could stand a replacement from Timesavers. The top to the clock is new, well made to match the rest of the case, and with stained plaster castings {and horse}. This clock was likely made at the outset of WWI, as it has a 24 hour military dial, the red numerals 13--24 fired into the 7 porcelain outside of the regular chapter ring {7 inch diam.}. The well made solid plate movement has cut pinions, and the dial and hands are in good shape. Lots of look for the money. Ht 49" $275--$375

227.  C.1900, German, Time Only Walnut wall regulator with R-A pendulum and in very good condition, with restorations. The top and bottom finials have been newly turned and painted black to match the trim on the case. The well made solid plate movement has cut pinions and graham type escapement.
