However, the castings on this clock are all original, showing exceptional detail. The nickeled side panels are old & oxidized. If you have a glass pendulum, you can bring this up to a $3000 clock; height 31.5" $2000-3000
330a C.1845, Austrian, Biedermeier 1-weight in a rare Neo Gothic styled rosewood case. This clock has all the desirable refinements: a one piece porcelain dial, finely pierced steel hands, steel pendulum rod, brass bob with brass back, delicate 4-spoke pulley and a superbly detailed case; the 8-day movement with many early details on a 4-post mount. Note finely carved pierced finials and Gothic trim on case, also close up of hands. This clock was shipped this week from a collector in Austria; ht 42" $2500-3500
331. C.1865, Rare Seth Thomas Office Calendar #3 in rosewood, commonly called the "Peanut" because of its shape. This clock was bought 20 years for $2750 and condition warranted the price.

But overall this is a great piece of Americana in good condition; 17 x 12" $1500-2000
336. C.1875, Ithaca Calendar Clock Co., "No. 3 1/2 Parlor", in excellent original condition. The only flaw is some flaking of the paper rollers; the rest of the clock: dials, pend and movements are still excellent. Note original glass crystal pend has no chips. Calendar mechanism is the improved version, introduced around 1875, however the split back and long pendulum, which were phased out about the same time, help us pinpoint the production time; height 20" $2500-3000
337. C.1885, E. Howard & Co., Boston, Regulator #84, tall clock in oak. We can't think of enough nice things to say about this clock, as it is exceptional.

The door has been off at some time and reglued; the old top glass is broken, and the mirror, though spotted, is a replacement. Original dial is crazed nicely (no flaking) and looks good; nice Americana. Height 32" $2000-3000
339. C.1975, Foster S. Campos, Pembroke, Mass, reproduction Girandole; we went with the consignor down to Foster who looked this clock over and authenticated it as his workmanship.

With Foster's original cardboard shipping box. Height 44" $2500-3500
340. C.1890, E. Howard & Co., Regulator #58-10 in walnut with burled weight baffle. This is a nice original clock with original finish; minor touch up on dial & good pendulum with damascene pattern. The size, also, is not so overbearing as the larger models. A very nice regulator; height 51" $3000-4000
341. C.1898, Ansonia "Antique Hanging" in mahogany. this certainly is about the nicest "Antique we've seen. There are some minor nicks here and there, but overall this approaches Ly's definition of "mint-original". Someone started cleaning off the nicotine with Nev-R-Dull and stopped after doing the top & dial center--that's the only fault we can find. Mov't recently cleaned and running fine; ht 46.5" $4000-5000
342. C.1890, French, Tiffany, Blue Cobalt lyre clock, the knife edge suspension supporting a pendulum with a ring of brilliants that swing back and forth. The porcelain china case is perfect and the ormolu retains all of its original gilding. The floral dial is signed Tiffany & Co., New York, and there are no chips in dial. Finely chased & gilded hands complement this clock; note this small example is hard to find; ht 14" $4000-5000
343. C.1900, French, gilded spelter swinging mystery timepiece in very nice condition. The "tin can" arm has a lovely porcelain dial and fancy hands. The statue shows evidence of a repair to the left arm, however the gilding is still quite good. Seems to run; ht 21" $2000-2500
344. C.1880, German, Lenzkirch, fancy mantle clock of walnut with ormolu trim. Note both top return moldings are recent & crudely done, rest of case is OK. Quality Lenzkirch movement, serial #634905. Clock seems to run fine. Fancy silvered dial with embossed center & beveled crystal; ht 17" $900-1200
345. C.1890, French Mystery clock in good running order. Bob bought this clock at a boot sale in Yorkshire in 1974 and brought it back to LA in a suitcase. The airline folks dropped it and the marble case split in a dozen pieces. Jerry Lausmann bought it and glued the case back together and it still has some rough edges. Several people have owned the clock since and all agree that it is the "runningist" mystery that ever was. Ht 22" If it was perfect, I'd say it was a $5000 clock; my guess now is: $3000-3500
346. C.1820, Austrian Grand Sonnerie mantel clock in a classic architectural case with alabaster columns & finials. The fork at the bottom of the crutch is gone & will need replacement, in addition, the tip of the minute shaft has broken at the pin hole and the minute hand has been epoxied on (Please don't turn hands until repaired). However the rest of the clock is MINT, and it comes in a lovely glazed display case (black lacquer & glass) Height 22" $700-900
347. C.1900, French "Beam Engine", from the Industrial Series. You'll notice that the French made extensive use of a compound pendulum (ref. steam hammer, rower, even the regular swinging arm) to produce a slower motion than the eye expects for the size of the swinging or oscillating part. The beam engine is no exception; this large size engine is clean & going (must be level) and with a perfect porcelain dial; strikes on a bell; minor chips on rear of marble base are not noticeable; ht 10"$2500-3000
348. C.1884, F. Kroeber, New York, "Noiseless Rotary No. 1", Kroeber's answer to the popular French conical pendulum clocks. This clock was purchased in 1979 from Terwilliger's Silent Auction #22, lot #122, and still has the shipping tape on the dome; the parcel was unopened as received from Terwilliger. The dial was repapered (decent job), but other than that, this is an excellent clock with a perfect label. Runs +strikes fine; 20.5" $2000-3000
349. C.1840, French Architectural clock; note the auxiliary movement in this clock has 2 functions: a> to work the semaphore signals (has a kidney shaped cam to position the arrows) & b> to turn a water fountain from the lion's mouth (note both beveled gear & glass tube are missing).

NOTE: The above clock was mis-numbered in the original flyer as lot #452
353. C.1890, Austrian 2nd Baroque Walnut Tall Case, with 3-weight grand sonnerie movement. This is an exceptional walnut case with extra carving, also candle shelves on the sides of the case and a carved ladies head in the center of the door.

The dial center, weights & bob all original with matched engraving and with original frosty gilding; a very attractive clock; height 92" $7000-8000

355. C.1890, Austria, J. Volkenstein, Wien 1 (movement signed on front plate), timepiece of one year duration in an attractive 2nd Baroque walnut tall case. The perfect porcelain dial retains jeweler's name: Anton Hawelk in Wien. Power is supplied via a yoked pulley holding two 28 pound weights. We'd suggest something heavier for cord than the 80# dacron in use. The original seatboard supports have been tastefully reinforced with 2 small walnut corbels (same color & thickness, but you can see the work!). The 6 wheel train is made to the highest standards and the verge has jeweled pallets. Note: lower safety stop for verge is lacking but can be easily made--dimensions are apparent. The movement also with counter-balanced minute and hour hands (2 separate brass weights in motion work). A mechanically refined clock. Height 91" $6000-8000
356. C.1890, Austrian, Grand Sonnerie 3-weight, 8-day floor clock in a walnut 2nd Baroque style case with nice proportions.

It is increasingly difficult to find Baroques in nice condition; ht 92" $4000-5000

Note the left pane of glass was broken in transit and will need to be replaced (about $35); dial with minor hairline at 8:30 (practically unnoticeable). Distractions aside, this clock was produced with the rare brilliant studded sash & pendulum and all of the brilliants are intact and firm in their mountings. Good open 'scape movement. Original gilding is rubbed through in high spots but is overall excellent. If you want one American 4-glass, this is it! Height 18.5" $2000-3000
357. C.1890, French Industrial Series (M.M.Diette),
the "Helmsman". This clock depicts a ship
cutaway at the stern, the captain with a firm grip on the wheel,
both rocking back and forth and acting as the actual pendulum
for the clock. The first mate is shown coiling up the line after
casting off. The 8-day T/S movement strikes on a bell. The ship
components are made of brass, the whole mounted to a black marble
base. Note also, that you screw the small pend bob upwards to
slow down the compound pendulum. A rare clock; ht 11.5" $5000-7000

359. C.1880, German, Giant cuckoo, hunting motif with spread wing eagle crest. This clock was bought by a Marlborough resident in Germany (and old newspaper articles accompany the clock). The 2-train, with fusee movement needs service and the bellows need recovering, but this has to be one of the finest examples of Black Forest carving we've seen; height 54" $6000-7000
360. C.1890-1910, English, dial signed Alexander N. Hill, Muiravonside. A quality astro regulator with a very heavy movement (plates are 9mm thick) and with quality 6 spoke wheelwork throughout.
