Unfortunately the alarm movement is missing {small train was mounted on center plate, perpendicular to other 2 trains}. The clock has original side doors and is stamped on the back "F. Weisser".

027.  C.1854, Bradley & Hubbard, Meriden, Conn, Stenciled Iron front, 30 hour in good original condition. Despite the fact that this is only a 30- hour clock and only and iron front, it is about as original as you could hope for, with a signed dial, as in the headline above, and with a good B & H label inside the case.

It was sent as a gift to the US via Post Exchange, by an AF Staff Sgt and is in the original box from Bachmeier & Klemmer, Berchtesgaden.

047.  C.1935, German, Robert Plasschaert, Pigeon Race Timer, in excellent original condition.

This particular unit bears serial number 71512, and that number is on all major components of the box. Seems to tick fine when wound. If you look at www.pigeonclocks.com, you will find this maker along with over 30 other makers of similar timers…amazing. Plasschaert apparently moved to Belgium after WWII. Note a pigeon is banded for life when it is under 7 days old and that band is impossible to remove. Hence the race ring is used to number pigeons in a contest, and that rubber race ring is easy to remove. Dim = 5.5 x 6.5 x 7.5" $150--$200

Both doors are replaced, made of hardwood, rather than veneer over pine The glasses are not original. There are indications this clock also had feet. The veneer on main portion of the case is in good condition. The carved crest is newly carved {1970 or so), and is not well done, although it looks fine from a distance. The caps to the top chimneys and the side returns are replacements. The large strap brass side arm movement is by Birge, Mallory & Co., of which Peck, Haydon were sales agents. The wood dial is in good condition with paint loss in various areas. The little slide mirror that fits behind the opening in the dial is missing. The hands are correct.

As with many skeleton clocks, he used an existing antique fusee movement as the heart of the clock and carefully fretted the brass frames and dial to give the impression of their 19th century counterparts. These are not made from kits, rather each one a carefully crafted and unique creation. This front plate has an engraving of a lion under the bell, and the lower plate is engraved: J. SMITH, CLERKENWELL. You will find fotos of other Brighton Pavilion models in skeleton clock books by both Royer-Collard and Roberts. The round dome with turned walnut base is recent. Ht of clock 14", ht with dome 18" $800--$1,200

056a.  Ladies 3/0 Lapel Watch, Elgin, 14k, 7j with no crystal. This is a nice gold hunter case with diamond star on the back. Movement is stem wind & set, and has a very good dial with Roman numerals. The front cover has a good catch and lift spring. Also a good crown & bow. With a chain of no value. Movement sound but would benefit from service. Serial #6,707,398. We estimate the case at 7dw. $150--$200

056b.  Ladies 3/0 Lapel Watch, Hampden, 7j Molly Stark, as found from storage. The movement is fully would and NOT running, however there are no obvious failures and the staff looks OK. This is lever set, stem wind. Has a good bow and crown. The case is crispy with excellent engine turning showing almost no wear. The dial has several hairlines and dirt at 9. Lift spring and hinges are good. Serial #1,245,497 $75--$100

056c.  Ladies 3/0 Lapel Watch, Waltham, 7j with mechanical problems, however with an exceptional case that has spent its whole life in a drawer; certainly has never been carried. Stem wind/set, but will NOT WIND NOR SET. There is no crystal, and the tip of the minute hand is broken away. Serial #17,852,211. The case with initials "AF". $50--$70

057.  C.1920, International Time Recording Co., Endicott, NY {Became IBM in 1924}, master clock, converted. This clock has had all of the self winding and electrical components removed. A winding barrel and arbor have been added to the great wheel to make it a weight driven clock; weight falls down the right side. The 2-jar pendulum, which originally had mercury, has later jars, & now is filled with lead shot {with an aluminum liner to reflect}. The jar lids are absent, and the replacement jars were too short, so were extended with a piece of brass under each. The oak case has been professionally refinished, and looks quite nice. The clock runs reliably and makes an imposing statement for a lobby or similar use. Ht 66" $500--$700

058.  C.1898, Self Winding Clock Co., New York, Model #29, with style "A" rotary wind movement, in good condition. The mahogany door has been refinished to a light maple color, sides are a bit darker. Movement is complete and sound with original hands and pendulum. This is the small size with 14" dial {amazing to believe they could be ordered with 48" dial}. Note we do not find the model 29 shown in the catalog with an open dial at the second hand, and suspect dial only may be from a master regulator, although it is Self Winding stock. It is in fine condition and does look good..! Ht 21.5" $175--$275

059.  C.1965, German Clock Peddler with clock, cast white metal, painted in mid 19th century attire. This is another of Ned Howard's novelty items, and includes original pendulum and key and is in running order. Some losses to paint, and hands do not match. Ht 15" $75--$100

060.  C.1832 E. & G. W. Bartholomew, Bristol, Conn., 30-hour wood movement time/strike hollow column shelf clock. The highly figured mahogany case is in good condition with some veneer damage on the base, the cornice and next to the dial door. The bottom tablet glass appears to be original, but has been repainted {mansions in spring-time look OK}. The mirror and top door glass are original. The painted wood dial is in very nice condition, except someone attached it with 4 screws {do not show when door is closed}, and some wear to numerals 4+7. The hands are original. The movement is exceptionally clean. The label is intact and legible. The round lead weights are not original, but they run the clock fine. Wood works hollow columns do not turn up as often as brass works. Ht 32.25" $400--$600

061.  C.1835 Boardman & Wells, Bristol, Conn., 30-hour wood movement time & strike double deck shelf clock. The mahogany veneered case is in good condition with an old finish, but there is some minor veneer loss on the base on the cornice. The columns need restoration as someone has tried his hand at graining, and it needs improving. The tablet and middle glass, thought nicely done, are not original. The painted wood dial is nice with some minor crazing and scratches. The movement is brass bushed as the label indicates. The label is very clean. Ht 33" $200--$300

062.  C.1915 Anglo-American, 8-day time & strike wall clock. The stripped walnut case is in pretty nice condition with some very nice inlay in the bottom bracket. The wooden segments that surround the brass dial bezel have separated from shrinkage. Someone took the original painted dial that is flaking and turned it over and applied a new paper dial. Condition wise, the dial is not bad and could be easily restored. The case houses an E. Ingraham movement. The black and gold tablet is home-made from a decal, backed with black paint. The drop finial is missing from the inlaid bottom bracket. Ht 29" $200--$300

063.  C.1875 Davies Patent, "Single Post Crystal Palace", 8-day time/strike mantel clock. The refinished walnut and ebonized case is in very nice restored condition.

The pendulum is marked "Davies Patent". The dome is a modern replacement of the proper size. No label. Ht 17" $550--$750

064.  C.1902, Jahresuhrenfabrik, 400-day timepiece, low serial #4956. We don't find this exact plate in the 10th Edition repair guide, but it is like Plate 1441, without the "Made In Germany", just the serial number. The 2-pc brass base is in very nice condition with a beaded edge on the base and the dial bezel. The porcelain dial is perfect and the hands are original. The disc pendulum is in good shape with no rust or dings. With old dome. Right side screw for top crest is stripped. Seems to run. Ht 16.5" $150--$200

065.  C.1852 E. & A. Ingraham, Bristol, Conn., 30-hour time/strike/alarm scroll front shelf clock. The gold scroll work and mother-of-pearl case is in very nice condition under an original finish. The upper dial glass is original, while the frosted tablet is a replacement. The dial is not original, as it was made using a section from a modern dial. The case houses a ribbed plate Brewster & Ingrahams movement with brass springs {the widely spaced winding arbors give it the appearance of an 8-day}. The gong is a modern replacement and the hands are of a later vintage. Despite all of these concerns, it is still a good looking clock, in running order. Ht 16.5" $125--$225

066.  C.1850, Pond & Barnes, Boston, Mass., 8-day time/strike beehive clock, in generally good restored condition.

067.  C.1847 Brewster & Ingrahams, Bristol, Conn., 8-day gallery timepiece. The refinished walnut case has an age crack on the bottom and dry separations of some of the sections that make up the case. The case was separated from the backboard, which is still with the timepiece and both were attached to a larger walnut backboard. It should be very easy to remove the case from this backboard and reattach it to the original. The signed movement retains it's original brass spring. The original painted dial is in very good condition with some darkening from age. The brass grommet at the winding hole is missing. The hands are original. Part of the label is missing where the backboard was reduced in thickness to allow more space for the pendulum. The case measurement does not include the new backboard. Ht 15.5" $200--$300

068.  C.1880, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "Round Band", 8-day time/strike/alarm shelf clock. The refinished rosewood veneered case is in excellent condition with just a small veneer chip on the back edge, bottom. The original dial has been repainted. The gong for the strike is missing, but the brass grommet that holds in place is still there, which would make it an easy repair. The bell for the alarm is still there {they actually have bent the hammer so it strikes and alarms on the same bell}. The label is very clean. The original tablet of a dog is in outstanding condition. Ht 17" $150--$250

The mahogany and mahogany veneered case is pretty good condition with veneer loss on the base and some chips in the area below the cornice. The dial has been repainted. The top glass is old, but is not original {would have had decorative corners}. The bottom tablet of the J. C. Brown house is an old period one that probably came out of another case, as this model are usually found with a mirror {tablet is in excellent condition}. The unsigned movement is the proper type for this period. There is a nice card label inside the case. Ht 22.25" $200--$300

070.  C.1877 Ansonia Clock Co., 8-day time & strike steeple clock in generally good condition. The rosewood veneered case has original finish and is in good condition with veneer damage and repairs and will need additional attention. The original dial is good condition with some paint loss around the mounting screws and is crazed by possible exposure to heat. Both glasses are original. The bottom beehive tablet is pretty nice, but it does have some loss and flaking. The label is very dark but is readable. Ht 19.75" $150--$250

071.  C.1895, Ansonia TIVOLI, walnut cased shelf clock, with restoration. This is a great little case with original finish, even has birds-eye top and sides. At some point the clock got separated from its dial and now has an old replacement and a new bezel. The movement has been recently cleaned and runs fine; 8-day time and strike on a gong. Ht 15" $175--$275

072.  C.1850 Litchfield Manufacturing Co., 8-day time/strike shelf clock. The paper maché case with mother-of-pearl inlay is in very nice condition with most of the original painted decoration intact and looks to have an original finish. The dial is a replacement, being made of wood with paper dial pasted on. The case retains its original and unusual brass movement. The movement is currently mounted in the case with spacers to raise it up to allow for the hands to clear the thick dial. Both glasses are original, although the bottom one is now clear. Most of the label is gone, but enough remains to identify the manufacturer. With a proper dial, hands and the tablet redone this clock could be improved quite nicely; estimate reflects current condition. Ht 19" $225--$325

073.  C.1870 Seth Thomas Sons & Co., New York, 8-day candle stick timepiece in good condition. The base is in somewhat rough condition with paint loss and multiple chipped areas.

The cast brass bezel and movement are fine. The pendulum is original, with the serial number matching the movement. The old glass dome is not original and is a bit too small, nice and wavy. Ht 8.75" $200--$300

074.  C.1860, Seth Thomas, COTTAGE, with beveled bottom and cornice top in good original condition. This is an uncommon model that shows in the catalog as a miniature [see Ly, numbers 1558 1562], however this is a full size cottage, standing 13.5" This is a nice time, strike and alarm model [30 hour], complete and sound with a good tablet and old finish. There is some flaking on the dial [as is common with all Seth Thomas models]. $100--$200

075.  A C.1900, Self Winding Clock Movement {model B}, now in a modern oak case, well made by a very good cabinet maker, and with a nice front glass , carefully masked and etched with a parallel line pattern. The new dial is a replacement made for a Seth Thomas No. 2. This clock hung in a local home for the last few years and has been running fine. A good looking clock. You will need your own power supply or battery. Ht 44" $200--$300

076.  C.1922, Seth Thomas DOUBLE DIAL, with wall bracket in oak and in generally fair original condition. This clock stood out on an open porch and has gotten wet and the joints are all a bit loose. The dials both bear the name of the company that ordered the clock from ST: Lockwood & Almquist, Inc, New York. The pendulum has lost its brass cover, but the lead insert is intact. The movement itself appears complete, but will need service. This clock displays the same time in both directions, using large double spring movement #86, and was commonly used in the New York Public School System. Ht 30" $500--$750

077.  C.1890, French Baker's or Picture Frame clock, oversize, and in good original condition. This clock is a few inches taller and wider than the models we normally see, and these usually have an 8" dial, but this one has a 12" dial, reverse painted on glass. Has a well made French square movement, with a large base cathedral gong. The dial retains original signature of "Ch. Cadot, Paris", probably the retailer of the clock. The movement has been freshly cleaned and the clock is running and striking nicely. Ready for home or office. Ht 26.5" $375--$475

078.  C.1870 Terry Clock Co., 8-day skeleton timepiece. The painted iron base is in good condition with original decoration. The plinth the timepiece sits on has paint loss & decoration is now gone. The lower portion of the plates on this model have a fancy embossed overlay. The porcelain dial has a hairline crack. The hands are original.

079.  C.1918, E. Ingraham & Co., "NORTHWESTERN", time & calendar store regulator in good original condition. The only things that keeps this from being excellent are some dents in the original pendulum bob, and a small piece of the rear splat missing on bottom {hard to detect}. Otherwise a great decorative item ready to hang and enjoy. Movement ticks fine but would probably benefit from service. This clock sold for $7.45 in 1920. Ht 38" $350--$450

080.  C.1860 Connecticut Candle Stick timepiece. The 30-hour pendulette movement retains an original bezel, dial paper and hands. The movement retains the little holder that would rock back and forth at the top and would have had a flag or a figure. The original painted wooden base has some paint loss. The china base has a hairline crack in the column. The column and base are broken and reglued, but well done. The gilt decoration is pretty much intact with some minor wear. The dome fits the base, but is not original. Despite the repairs, the gilt pattern on the stand is still there, and this is usually worn off. Decent example of this early clock by Union Labor Company, Southington, Conn {Samuel M. Botsford}. Ht 8.5" $250--$350

081.  C.1845 Terry & Andrews, Bristol, Conn., steeple on steeple, 8-day time/strike shelf clock. The well figured mahogany veneer case was refinished long ago to a medium brown color and actually looks like walnut. The three glasses are not original, but the top glass is old. The large lyre plate movement is signed. The dial has been repainted and now with some wear and flaking. The minute hand has been repaired. Some potential here for the right workman. Ht 25.5" $300--$400

082.  C.1870, Seth Thomas Sons & Co., New York, 8-day candle stick timepiece, on sub base with old dome {larger than original}. The gilt column has a chip in the wood, left side, and various loss of gilding and touch up with gold paint. The porcelain dial has a hairline crack at about 6 o'clock otherwise fine. The hands are original. The cast brass bezel and movement are good. The pendulum is original, with the serial number matching the movement {#30765}.

083.  C.1890, French, Philippe, Rouen, 8-day time/strike marble mantel clock. The black marble case with contrasting malachite insets is in pretty good condition with a chip on the right base corner, small chip on the base molding and some roughness on the front edges of the base. The incised and gilt marble dial is very fine with a little wear to the signature, which is the same name on the movement. The hands are original. There is some wear to the gilt in the incised lines in the case. The movement is complete and sound, but dirty and will need cleaning. Movement is signed Philippe, Rouen as is dial. Ht 12.25" $175--$275

084.  C.1894, Ansonia Clock Co., "Jumper No. 1", 30-hour bobbing doll timepiece in generally good condition, with replaced doll [plastic] and a tear drop added to provide enough weight for it to 'scape. The nickel plated case is in good condition with a couple of dings on the base and a crease on one side of the back cover. The original paper dial is very clean with a very small stain; some dirt behind lens needs cleaning out. Ht 15.5" $500--$700

085.  C.1835, Hotchkiss & Benedict, Auburn, NY, 8-day time & strike, 2-deck shelf clock, with restorations. The upper door is a replacement but nicely done. The lower door is original. The refinished mahogany veneered case has losses and repairs. The signed painted dial has flaking, some poor imprinting and stress cracking. The three glasses are replaced. There is a partial label inside the case and remains of the paper backing. The seconds bit hand is a replacement. The top of the splat has been cut off, and the top 9" of the backboard is missing, and has a piece of cardboard now to keep out dust. The 4 pulleys inside are replaced. Potential here for the lover of NY clocks. Ht 36.5" $300--$500

086.  C.1833, Asa Munger & Co., Auburn, NY, 8-day, 2-deck carved column & splat shelf clock. The refinished mahogany veneered case is in very good condition with some veneer repairs on the doors and corners of the flat areas of the case. The top plinths have been replaced {that hold the carved fruit bowl splat}. The top glass is old however the stenciling has been professionally restored. The door mirror may be a replacement. The signed painted iron dial is very dark in the center and the outer edge and will need attention. There is a nice label inside the case and remains of the original wallpaper. The pulleys for the weights are not original. Original 2-weight movement is intact. Ht 39.75" $500--$700

087.  C.1824, Lucius B. Bradley, Watertown, Conn., 8-day /Salem Bridge/ time & strike column and cornice shelf clock, with significant restoration. Both doors have been newly made and the width of the veneer is a little too wide, and construction is not in the proper manner. The tablet is a replacement and not typical of the type used in these cases {it is high quality}. The original painted iron dial is in good condition with some poor repairs to the chipped areas and would benefit from a restoration. The seconds bit is a replacement. The movement is original to the case. Although not crucial, the little stands for the top rollers are missing, and rollers are now held on with large staples. The right person could make significant improvements to this hard to find clock. Ht 26.5" $600--$800

088.  C.1820, Unsigned, likely Leavenworth movement, in a pine tall case. This period dial came from another movement, and the extra holes behind were neatly filled. The movement 30 hour time and strike movement is complete and sound except for a missing bell, calendar wheel, and seconds hand. The hood its absent its door, a straightforward item to make. No weights nor pendulum on this clock. From Ned Howard's basement. Potential here. Ht 83" $400--$600

089.  C.1877, H. A. Simmons, Fulton, NY, Portable Field Barometer in generally good condition, with original case, but with broken glass tube. The military and other survey groups in need of forecasting weather in the field required a barometer that would not break when moved about. Among makers, Timby and Simmons probably sold more than others. The rear instruction label is intact, and we quote the most important sentence: "To render the instrument portable, gently incline it to an angle of about 45 deg., when the mercury will completely fill the tube, then turn the thumb screw directly across the instrument; it may then be carried with safety". It is uncommon to find the original carry case intact [leather handle has broken, but pieces are inside to use as a pattern]. Also the black paper scale has some damage, but can be restored. The mahogany case front has been refinished; rear retains original finish and label. Thermometer is intact. Ht of barometer 38", in case 39" $400--$600

090.  C.1905 E. Ingraham & Co., "Dew Drop", 8-day wall timepiece in very nice condition with original grain painting on the doors. There are some minor dings and scuff marks on the upper door. The dial pan has some unexpected holes, yet appears to be original to the case. The hands and movement are original. The two door glasses are original. There is a nice green label on the back, with some losses, legible. Over all very good condition. Ht 8.5" $200--$300

091.  C.1818 Joseph Ives Tall Clock, 8-day wood movement time & strike. This flat top case that appears to be cherry with a dark mahogany finish houses a roller pinion wood movement. The movement is in pretty good condition with some minor tooth repair and a new wheel on the motion train. The back plate has a small piece missing on edge from a flaw in the wood that would need attention. The reverse painted glass dial is a copy as many of these are very fragile and easily broken {Masonic motif}. The case is in good condition with an age crack in the base; the hood with some new lumber. This item includes pendulum rod with suspension, bob and original tin can weights. Ht 79" $1,000--$1,500

092.  C.1855, E. N. Welch, 30-hour time/strike OG shelf clock in excellent original condition. The rosewood veneered case is in exceptionally condition with a tiny repair on one corner, and a couple of small bubbles in the veneer; the finish has been polished out and waxed. The dial, spring movement and both glasses are original. The blue label is intact and reads that it was made by "E. N. Welch at the old establishment of late J. C. Brown". Overall a very clean example. Ht 18" $150--$200

093.  C.1881, Jerome & Co. [New Haven] "Lock and Key", 30-hour novelty timepiece. The brass case is in very nice condition with what appears to be an original stamped link chain to allow you to hang it or place it on a table. The beveled front glass is perfect and the paper dial is very clean for its age. The movement is in running order and the case back is stamped with the patent date, April 12, 1881. A "novel" timepiece sure to intrigue you. Ht 6.25" $300--$400

094.  C.1910, Chelsea Clock Co., "Base and Ball" 8-day time only. This is a miniature bronze case with a 2.75" dial in running order. This timepiece has the special dial with raised bronze numerals, which is nice condition, with minor scratches around the winding arbor and is signed "Smith, Patterson Co., Boston" {the retailer}. The hands are original. The case has a screw bezel. The movement is serial number 51,728, sold to Smith Patterson on Aug 16, 1909; apparently there was a problem with the clock/or case and it was returned to Chelsea a year or so later, the movement swapped into case number 56,000 and re-shipped to Smith Patterson on Sept 15, 1910. This information comes straight from Chelsea Ledger #6, and a certificate to attest to the authenticity of the clock is available from Chelsea for $25. Overall very good condition. Ht 5" $200--$300

095.  C.1860, French, Morbier, 2-wt wall clock in generally good condition. The dial, surround and repoussé pendulum are all quite good {note dial surround with 2 peacocks}. The weights are replacements and do not match. There is an alarm disc on the center shaft, but the alarm train is missing. The clocks strikes the hours loudly on a large iron bell at top, and then repeats the hour again at 2 minutes past the hour. This is commonly called a "prayer" clock. The consignor made a wall bracket clock out of a pine tree felled in the 1938 NE hurricane. Ht 56" $375--$475

096.  C.1890, E. Howard & Co., Boston, "No. 28 Marble Dial", in generally good condition except as follows: a stress crack, lower left from the side to the tablet; the chapter ring and signature were painted maybe 50 years ago and are not precise as they should be; the tablet has some wear; the star at top is half gone and other flaking. The movement, of obvious Howard manufacture, is NOT signed, and the center shaft sticks out of the marble about an inch, and it should be a half inch on this model {we had one in the sale last October}. Hand delivery only on this clock; too heavy and precarious to ship via UPS. Dial = 14", ht 29.5" $1,500--$2,000

097.  C.1935, Boston Clock Co., Boston, Mass, {yes}. Chelsea Clock Co. introduced a second line in the middle of the depression on which the same basic design was used on movements, but they were not polished to a high standard and simply nickel plated to make them shiny. The movements are marked as above and with a second serial number series that started at 1000 and ends in a B. For instance, this one is serial 3136B. The case is the same basic dimension as the miniature "Babro" model, but made of a block of mahogany rather than with veneer & inlay. This clock refutes arguments that the Boston name was only used for the later {1971} German import line. Minor nicks to case. Dial 3", ht 6" $200--$300

098.  C.1941, Seth Thomas, "Ship's Bell- No. 4", in good original condition. The model designation is stamped into the rear cover; this designation was introduced in 1941. The jeweled lever movement is in running order and striking properly, but would benefit from service. The case is a heavy cast brass model. Some one from Natick, Mass, wrote his name [Bragdon] on the rear with a vibro tool. With original dial and hands. Outer dia = 8.75" $325--$425

099.  C,1840, Massachusetts Banjo in good running order, with restorations. This clock was restored around 1920 and W. Sprague glasses of Mt. Vernon were installed and a new iron dial applied at the time. 80 years later, the glasses are flaking {some touch up to background, + shellac makes them look older than they are} and the dial has turned darker and with rust on the reverse. The movement is a period movement, but with an hour wheel and pipe that were remade at the time of restoration; the hands also are 1920. Despite the restorations, this is a good looking banjo, ready to enjoy. Ht 34" $800--$1,200

100.  Mixed Lot, 19th Century, Pillar & Scroll. This clock has parts from 2 different clocks that we are able to identify. The backboard, label and dial and movement are from a Chauncey Boardman long drop, the movement converted to short drop with a new 'scape wheel and winding barrels. The case proper appears to be from a Terry, however the scrolls and feet are C.1970 restorations. The tablet was painted by Herschel Burt at that time {nicely done}. The rear of the clock has a newspaper glued over it, the BOSTON RECORDER, Thursday, April 25, 1844. The consignor of this clock paid $750 to a dealer in 1971, and we advised him that he would likely get his money back without interest. A very good looking clock. Ht 32" $750--$1,000

101.  C.1890, English, skeleton clock and dome. This clock has had a hard life; the 4 small threaded studs that should go down through the marble to hold the clock onto the base are absent. A workman then slotted the 4 turned brass feet to accept the bottom edge of the clock frame without falling off. The nicely fretted silvered brass dial was recently re-silvered. Sounds a single bell on the hour via passing strike. The old oval dome is in good condition with no cracks nor chips. Ht 17.5" $700--$900

102.  C.1800, Dutch, Stoelklok in poor to fair original condition, needing work. This clock was in Ned Howards basement with the movement laying less dial and the leads broken off the case. Tom taped the leads {the cast lead trim} on for this foto {part is missing}, and installed the dial and hands. It has an alarm assembly {small chain}. The lead weight is not original. The pallets on the verge have their tips broken and the crown wheel free wheels if you hang the weight. Also dirt and discoloration on the dial; glass absent from side doors. Ht 29" $300--$400

103.  C.1920, German, Gustav Becker, unusual 3-weight striking Grand Sonnerie on 8 melodious rods [4 on each side]. The original 3-wt movement was factory engineered to swing 2 large articulated arms with 4 hammers each, and with the addition of helper springs behind the movement [factory installed], to assist with the additional work required. The large iron gong standard is also signed GB, and the walnut case with a heavy door insert with 7 panes of heavily beveled glass. The only detraction on this clock is that some one has painted the dial plate with yellow paint, and the normally blued hands painted gold; dial plate is a bit loose to mov't. An oddity for the confident mechanic. Ht 43" $275--$375

104.  C.1840, A Good 8-day Tall Case movement, obviously made from British blanks, but finished in the American style with smooth barrels and front/back tie down {rather than right/left on pillars}. The movement is complete and sound, with bell, hands, crutch, cable and pulleys intact. Pierced brass hands are for a 13" chapter ring, and the seat board is 13" wide [for reference]. $500--$700

105.  C.1895, E. Ingraham & Co., "Reflector" 8-day time & strike, with 12" dial and in generally good original condition. There is some minor loss to the gold leaf, inner ring on the tablet, and the top bezel was cracked near the hinge and re-glued {no loss of finish & no chips}. The original dial is turned a bit brown due to age. The original label, inside the case is very good, small piece missing at 6, but town [Bristol] is still legible. Overall a nice, original example of this model. Ht 29.5" $750--$1,000

106.  C.1894 Ansonia Clock Co., "Arion", 8-day time/strike figural clock. This clock is in exceptionally nice condition with some minor scratches and some slight raising and minor loss of the finish on the painted black enamel of the base. The porcelain dial and beveled door glass are perfect. The hands are original but the hour hand is broken at the tip. Nice color and patina on the statue. Ht 17.5" $650--$850

107.  C.1915, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "Chime Clock No. 55", 8-day 4-bell Sonora chime clock. This is a very nice clean mahogany clock with original finish, but with a few scratches. The silvered dial is relatively free of scratches but has tarnished, the dial plate is loose in its iron mount, will need tightening when you disassemble the clock. The hands are original. This clock has been in storage and although you can get it to "eek" out the tune, it will benefit from a proper cleaning. This was the smallest size Sonora that Seth Thomas made. Ht 9.5" $450--$550

108.  C.1915, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "Chime Clock No. 57", 8-day 4-bell Sonora chime time/strike chime clock. The case is in unrestored condition; was varnished over lightly some time ago, and there is some orange peel to the finish. The silvered dial is tarnished in places and there are scratches around the winding arbors. The movement, hands, bells, and all case hardware are original and sound; clock has been in storage for some time and movements need service Ht 12" $400--$600

109.  C.1828, Seth Thomas, Plymouth, Conn., 30-hour time/strike Pillar and Scroll shelf clock. The case looks to have stripped and has a dull old finish. The case has had a fair amount of restoration. The feet and skirt are replaced. The scrolls look to be original with the left scroll broken and repaired and a poor repair in the area of the left chimney. The door has had a couple of veneer repairs and the escutcheon is larger than normal. The upper glass, while old, has new putty. The lower tablet is original and is pretty nice condition with paint loss. The dial is very nice with some wear and paint loss around the winding arbors. The hands are replacements as you usually don't find these on Terry clocks. The movement is correct for the case. The finials are not original. There is a small piece of the backboard missing. The label is dark by readable, with plastic over. Ht 29" $600--$800

110.  C.1840, English 2-Fusee Bracket clock in a delightful country case with fan corners. The round painted dial has Tho's Benbow, Northwood as a signature probably painted long after the clock was made. The feet are delicate carved mahogany in a bracket shape. The bell standard has failed in transit, and will need attention; the bell is just setting on the plates for the foto. The movement has been serviced with brass cable and is ticking. The pendulum itself has two slots for the crutch pin; apparently someone had trouble getting the suspension spring the correct length. Ht 21" $1,000--$1,500

111.  C.1870, Ansonia Brass & Copper Co., "No. 1, Extra", round drop wall clock in generally good condition, with restoration. The exterior finish was redone some time ago and with a nice color at this point. There are some chips in the rosewood veneer on the bezel which have been stained in, but are still noticeable. The original painted dial has about 5% flaking but is not bad considering the age of the clock.. Retains original tablet and has a super label inside the case. Ht 25" $400--$600

112.  C.1870, Seth Thomas, 8-Day Column clock, spring driven, time and strike, restored. This is a cute clock from a Connecticut collection, and was bought at a retail store around 10 years ago {650 reduced to 570 price tag enclosed}. The dial has been repainted and the case stripped & refinished, and some veneer repairs and the columns repainted. Has the original sales sticker inside from a Jeweler in Pekin, Illinois, where the clock was bought for $10 in 1874. That is surely the sales price based on the ST catalog, as a cleaning at the time would have been fifty cents. ST label is good. Although not for the purist, this is a clean and attractive clock. Ht 16" $200--$300

113.  C.1875, Seth Thomas, "CINCINNATI", 8-day time and strike shelf clock, restored. Like the above clock this was purchased at a retail shop in Connecticut. The price was $985 in 1994. The shop had refinished the case and inserted a tablet from a small Waltham banjo {does look good!!}. Although the dial surface is original, with touch up, the numerals and chapter have been re-blacked. The label on this clock is exceptional; has original movement and hands and is in running order. Note this is the first version with straight turned side columns [later were tapered and the clock was an inch taller]. Ht 16" $375--$475

114.  C.1825, Jerome, Darrow & Co., 30-hour wood movement time/strike reeded pilaster and scroll top shelf clock, in fair to good as-found condition. The mahogany veneer is actually nice with only a couple of chips and minor veneer loss on the lower right base, however there is virtually no finish on the case. The scrolls are original but they have suffered some damage. The left scroll ear was broken and repaired, while the right ear is an old replacement and a veneer insert was added to blend in better. The dial is a little faded and worn and the finials are modern. The case is a little unusual in that it does not have a lower painted tablet as is commonly seen on this model. Both glasses are original, but unfortunately the mirror is broken. This clock stood in Ned Howard's basement for some time and is quite dirty. Ht 37.5" $500--$700

115.  C.1835, Silas Hoadley, Plymouth, Conn. 30-hour wood movement time & strike half-column and splat shelf clock in good restored condition. The case has had a good bit of restoration, with some veneer repairs and a full refinishing. The stenciling on the columns and splat has been very nicely redone. The tops to the capitals are new and the chimneys may also be new but is it hard to tell from the degree of refinishing. All the glasses are replacements. The upside down wood movement looks clean. The clean dial is very nice, but unfortunately is wrong as it fits an alarm movement and this is not an alarm movement. The "Franklin" label is dark but readable. Overall clean and presentable. Ht 35" $250--$450

116.  C.1832, Upson, Merrimans & Co., Bristol, Conn, 30-hour wood movement time/strike carved column and splat shelf clock, with restorations. The refinished mahogany veneered case is in good condition with veneer loss and chips. The painted dial has some loss and stress cracks in the paint. The tops to the capitals are damaged and the side returns are missing. The upper glass is original, while the tablet is a replacement. The label has about one fourth loss but is legible. Ht 27.5" $300--$500

117.  Mid 20th Century, English, Passing Strike Skeleton clock in a rafter style frame with engraving on the front plate. This was made by a skilled English clockmaker. As with many skeleton clocks, he used an existing antique fusee movement as the heart of the clock and carefully fretted the brass frames and dial to give the impression of their 19th century counterparts. The front dial is nicely engraved: J. SMITH, CLERKENWELL. The round dome with turned walnut base is recent; dome setting beside clock in foto. Ht of clock 11.5", ht with dome 13.5" $750--$1,000

118.  C.1850, Chauncey Jerome, New Haven, Conn., 30-hour lever movement brass front timepiece that imitates a French clock is in very nice condition with a perfect porcelain dial. To give the case even more of French flair you will the word "Paris" embossed in the pressed brass. The movement, which will need a cleaning, utilizes the Botsford improved patent brass movement with a large horizontal balance wheel and an odd looking escapement, which is often referred to as the American Grasshopper escapement. The minute hand is replaced {a bit too long}. The old dome is probably not original, as it is a tad large for the base. Ht 11" $350--$450

119.  C.1910, Hansen Mfg, Princeton, Indiana, 8-day spring driven master bell control clock in good, as-found condition. Julis W. Hansen, a German immigrant and jeweler, founded this company in 1907, having a knack for electro-mechanical design, and a local school principal had asked his help in automating the ringing of the class bells. He used a Connecticut time only movement on top, driving the bell control via a driveshaft behind the pendulum. His clocks always have unique aluminum dials with some fancy turned designs. The heavy oak case is well made; was refinished long ago and could use a little polish. Does run OK. Ht 51.5" $400--$600

120.  C.1870, Atkins Clock Co., VICTOR, 8-day time & strike round Gothic shelf clock. The myrtle veneer case is in excellent condition with a couple of small chips on one side of the base. There is some shrinkage of the door bezel segments. The two door glasses are original. The paper dial is new over the original pan. The movement is original. The label is very dark and difficult to read. Still a good looking clock. Ht 17.5" $175--$275

121.  C.1880, William L. Gilbert Clock Co., "Keystone", 8-day time/strike shelf clock. The rosewood veneered case is in nice condition with some minor chipping on the bottom edge of the base. The case retains original finish, nicely waxed, but with fine age pattern on all surfaces; some loss of finish to left of door. Both glasses are original. The painted dial has some minor paint loss. The movement is signed and there is a small Gilbert label on the back of the case that is partially obscured by an Omaha, Nebraska jeweler's label. Interestingly the delicate front door on this clock makes use of plywood to maintain its integrity. Ht 17.75" $200--$300

122.  C.1860, Jn. Charmichael, Greenock, Scotland, 8-day, 2-fusee, crown-verge, striking bracket clock. This is a mid-nineteenth century version of an earlier crown escapement movement. The fusee movement has a robust chain, on flat bottom fusees, which would not have been in use in 1750. The heavy plate movement is well made, and with the backplate very nicely engraved. The painted dial was repainted some time ago. The hands are old and adequate, but not original. The movement is currently fitted into a mahogany bell top case with a ripple molding on the top. The case is in fairly good condition with an old finish. A bracket clock for a thrifty Scotsman. Ht 19" $500--$700

123.  C.1835, R. & J. B. Terry, Bristol, Conn., 8-day time & rack strike triple decker shelf clock. The stripped mahogany veneer on this clock is in good condition with small veneer chips in several places and veneer splits on the door from shrinkage. The dial is pretty good with paint loss along the bottom edge that extends up about 1 inch. The two tablets are properly repainted on old glass. Usually you find the center section is a mirror. The splat and column bases and tops are gold painted. The door lock escutcheons have been replaced with veneer. The case houses a blanked front plate, solid back plate, rack striking weight movement. This firm was in business for about 3 years. Ht 37" $500--$700

124.  C.1848, Sperry & Shaw, 115 Maiden Ln, New York, 30-hour time/strike shelf clock. The 4-column Empire style mahogany veneered case is in nice condition, old finish, with some veneer loss on the base, and a couple of small areas on the top. The top glass is old, but has probably been out of the case. The mirror is a replacement. The painted metal dial is in generally good condition. The minute hand has been repaired, and is slightly short. This clock utilizes the interesting label touting Sperry & Shaw as agents for Crane's Patent Year clocks, faded green with some stains & loss, but still quite legible. Has proper narrow weights. Ht 25.75" $150--$250

125.  C.1904 William L. Gilbert Clock Co., "Bellwood", 8-day time & strike mantel clock on 6 bells. The Gilbert literature calls this a "Chime" clock, but let me assure you it simply strikes on chords, it does NOT chime every 15 minutes as the you would expect. Their catalog states: "This clock is fitted with our new Chime Strike, hour and half hour, entirely different from anything ... on this order. Chimes are sounded on five separate cup gongs, each having a rich, distinct tone and harmonizing together eight different ways, never twice alike, commanding instant attention each time it rings." The black painted case is in pretty good condition with an old replaced left foot; you will need to find a matching foot. The applied metal ornaments look to have their original finish. Above information comes from Tran Duy Ly's book titled Gilbert Clocks , page 106. Ht 15" $275--$375

126.  C.1907, German, Globe / World timepiece. This small timepiece is good condition with the globe a little dark with age, and minor scratch or 2 but overall very good. Globe is printed in English. The time markings at the equator are divided into two 12 hour segments with the globe rotating once in 24 hours. The dial on the timepiece is dark from age. Lever movement ticks and stops; we have seen these in both 8-day and 30 hour, unsure of duration on this one. Shows Oklahoma as state which happened in 1907, and with Indian territory shown on the Arkansas side of the Mississippi R. Ht 13.5" $400--$600

126a.  C.1930, Kieninger & Obergfell, Louvre model, 400-day timepiece in good condition. Someone gold painted the decorative edging on the base and the bezel. There is a piece of brass soldered on the rim of the base meant to be engraved with a presentation, and it got moist and has corroded a bit. Most of the rest of the case is pretty good, with tarnish here and there. The porcelain dial is perfect and the hands are original. The movement needs a cleaning. Overall sound and restorable and with old dome. Ht 15.5" $175--$275

127.  C.1852, Silas B. Terry & Co, 30-hour time & alarm cottage timepiece, in good condition except for the replaced hands which are a little large. The rosewood and mahogany veneered case is in very nice condition with a repair to the base on the left side. The two glasses are original {Fenn tablet is nice}. The painted wood dial is very nice with some staining. The case has a very simple ladder type movement mounted on a seatboard with an alarm riveted to the bottom. In the NAWCC Bulletin, Dec. 1995, pg 739 is a picture of this movement. Ht 11.25" $150--$250

128.  C.1930, One Hand Clock Corp., Warren, Penn., 30-hour one hand timepiece, large. The copper plated cast iron base and dial rim is in very fine as found condition with polished highlights. The original 10.5" paper dial is very clean for its age and with just a slight amount of mildew. The hand is brass and appears as a dark brown color in the foto. The movements for these timepieces were made by the William L. Gilbert Clock Co. Overall this item is in very good condition and sure to please. Ht 12.5" $225--$325

129.  C.1910, Waterbury Clock Co., TOULON, glass & brass crystal regulator in generally good original condition. Although the case has tarnished on the edges, it does retain, part of its original gilding. The movement has not been serviced in some time, but is complete and sound and does tick and strike. Note fancy multi color dial with red accents, original hands and proper faux mercury pendulum. There are hairlines in the dial and some oil got under the porcelain near 11 and discolored a portion. Bonus is the fancy sash with all brilliants intact. Ht 10.6" $325--$425

130.  C.1935, Waltham Clock Co., 8-day mahogany banjo timepiece in generally fair to good condition with an original finish, but with a poorly replaced throat glass, and now a New Haven eagle. Both glasses with lifting paint and needing attention. The dial is in very fine condition with just a little abrasion around the winding hole. Apparently clock fell off the wall at the repairman's around 1955 {repair note inside} and he replaced the throat glass; he knocked the top drum loose and then made a bracket to hold it while he glued and turned it; this has resulted in 4 extra holes in the drum that are not related to the original dial. There are also some worm holes near the latch, No evidence of recent activity. The signed Waltham movement is very clean and complete with original Geneva stop and weight. Overall a decent clock that will respond to some additional restoration. Ht 42" $800--$1,200

131.  C.1870, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "Parlor Calendar No. 3" 8-day time/strike calendar clock in rosewood veneer with an original and crusty finish. The owner used Formby's refinisher and carefully rubbed the smoke and crust off the door {you will still see the original finish intact}; balance of clock has dark crusty finish that will need attention The veneer is almost perfect with some loss on the sides at the top. The two dials for a Seth Thomas are in extremely nice condition with a little loss around the mounting screws. The calendar roller covers have darkened, but are still fully legible. There is a SUPER label inside. This clock is worthy of continued restoration. Ht 26.75" $600--$800

132.  C.1913 William L. Gilbert Clock Co., "Euclid", 8-day time/strike mantel clock in a cast metal case in nice clean condition and gold painted over the remains of a bright gold finish. The porcelain dial is perfect and the hands and beveled door glass are original. Note this clock has Gilbert's patent beat setter on the dial. The round metal door on the back has broken off its hinge and is now missing. Ht 12" $200--$300

133.  C.1880 Ansonia Clock Co., "Monarch" 8-day time/strike mantel clock in as found, from storage, needing restoration. The original paper dial has turned rather dark from age. The tablet, hands and pendulum are original. The beat scale has some minor paint flaking. The clock retains part of the original top finial with the pan and center finial, but the small turned base and two side arms that attach to the finial are missing. There are other small chips of wood here and there; the faux graining on the drawer and curved panels will need restoration as it is dark and partly missing. Still has lots of potential. Ht 24.5" $350--$550

134.  C.1910, French, Small Crystal Regulator 8-day time/strike brass & glass in good condition. The case has some tarnish and needs polishing.. The porcelain dial has hairline cracks at the 6 o'clock position. The front beveled glass panel has a small chip {barely worth mentioning}, while the rest of the panels look perfect. The hands and mercury pendulum are original. The movement is marked "France". Cute clock. Ht 8.75" $250--$450

136.  C.1895, F. Kroeber Clock Co., 8-day, China No. 25, time/strike white porcelain case with salmon sides mantel clock in clean as found condition. The applied gilding on the front is worn a little from handling, but still bright. The original varnished paper dial is in good condition, but shows signs of age. The hands are original. The only minor item needing attention is a missing cork stud to hold a screw to keep the rear cover closed {easy to make}. Uses Kroeber's patent restrained pendulum. There were 2 benefits from this design: a> you didn't lost the pendulum; b> the pendulum didn't swing and crack the case during transport. Ht 9.5" $275--$375

137.  C.1850, Forestville Manufacturing Co., (J. C. Brown) 8-day time/strike mahogany OG shelf clock in very nice condition with original finish {has been rubbed down a bit}.

139.  C.1950, German, "Oswald" molded Fakhir (Genie) rolling eye novelty. Has 30-hour backwind timepiece movement with rolling eyes that indicate the time {15 minutes to 6 is showing in foto}.

140.  For Parts: C.1845, Birge & Fuller, candle stick steeple wagon spring case with original tablets, but without the top movement. Basically the mahogany veneered case is in very good condition. The 8-day case retains the original 5 leaf wagon spring and arms; the center iron wheels and chains have been recently re-cast from an original, but look like they will work when you find the upper movement. There is no label. Ht 25.5" $400--$600

143.  C.1925 New Haven Clock Co., "Romany" 8-day Westminster chime tambour mahogany mantel clock in very nice condition. Case retains original finish with normal little dings and scratches. The dial is overall very clean with just a little staining around the winding holes.

See illustration of this movement in Tran Duy Ly's book New Haven Clocks, page 398. Label intact; nice beginner clock. Ht 9" $75--$150

144.  C.1940, Chelsea Clock Co., "Mariner", 8-day brass and bronze case ship's bell clock in generally good condition, the case with tarnish, but with a very clean original dial and hands. This clock spent some time in a damp climate; the brass case will need polishing as the finish has deteriorated and has some corrosion; there are some dings in the bezel The original finish was brass & bronze tutone. These clocks were made from 1906 and were discontinued in 1984. The case has the serial number 271820. The 3.75" silvered dial with the name "Outward Bound", which was probably the boat/yacht it was ordered for. Potential here. Ht 10.5" $350--$450

145.  C.1928, New Haven Clock Co., WASHINGTON model, Westminster chime banjo clock, in generally good original condition. The tablets are original, but are lifting from the glass and you will be faced with replacement or restoration. [Fred Catterall does sell card stock copies of the originals]. This clock uses New Haven's round, self correcting, 3-train chime movement, with special short pendulum [don't lost this], and with the chime rods extending up the throat. Some light spots on dial from spray cleaner. Ht 42" $300--$400

A little gilt has been applied to the incising. Part of the painted numerals are missing from the dial. The well made French movement strikes the hours and halves on a gong. The pendulum has been replaced with a wire and an American bob {proper replacements are available from Timesavers}. The dial center was damaged and has had green velour placed over the damage. The panels on the clock are extra thick and it is extremely heavy. Will respond to some TLC. Ht 16.5" $175--$275

147.  {2} C.1905, Brass Cased Carriage Clocks, French, as-found. One is a time and alarm signed J. E. Caldwell, Philadelphia, orig lever platform with one damaged side glass and a replaced alarm indicator hand; good dial.

The marble dial is in very good condition with original hands. In faint letters you can make out that this set was sold by "J. E. Caldwell of Philadelphia". The two urn garnitures have faired better than the clock, but each marble base has some damage; left urn is missing one looped drop. The height of the garnitures is 19". Ht of clock 9.5" $150--$250

149.  C.1900, New Haven Clock Co., "Benvenuto Cellini", 8-day time/strike figural clock in very clean condition with original bronze finish. The crank handle to the wood vice is missing {you could turn something up} and the porcelain dial has several hairline cracks. The hands are not original, but replacements are available from Timesavers.

150.  C.1852, E. & A. Ingraham, Bristol, Conn., 30-hour time & strike scroll front shelf clock, with ripple door. The finish and gold stenciling to the case are original, and in excellent condition. There is a repair to base of the left foot [piece glued in]. Both glasses are replaced [some time ago and with a film of nicotine]. The movement is original to the case. The label is very good, bright and totally legible. Overall a decent example of a scroll front; there are several in today's sale. Ht 16.5" $150--$250

151.  C.1850, French, 4-glass Architectural Clock, with restorations. The dial was re-fired and now with the name Paul Garnier, Paris. The case is a nice style, gilt brass with fancy mounts {some appear to be re-cast}, but the movement type is a bit late for this clock {mov't is complete and sound and functioning}. Has a fancy starburst pendulum that is likely a period item, now with a 2 prong sided instead of a silk hook. Most of the gilding is worn from the case. A project with potential. Ht 14" $1,500--$2,000

152.  C.1910, German, Waterfall Automaton in generally very good condition, the waterfall spinning fine and the clock ticking. This is a cute small walnut version with the clock in a hood at the top, and the separate spring motor for the waterfall housed in the lower section. The fountain has a cast brass lions mouth from which the glass tube extends and ends in a pivot in the brass water bowl at the bottom. The façade is faux marble painted {has a single vertical dry split}, depicting black with green marble. A cute clock. Ht 13.5" $800--$1,000

153.  C.1914, Ansonia DORVAL, crystal regulator, in good original condition. This is a nice small 4-glass style clock, and retains good beveled glass, a good porcelain dial, faux mercury pendulum and original hands. Although it ticks and strikes, the movement would benefit from service. Ht 8.8" $300--$400

154.  C.1905, French, Japy Freres, Crystal Regulator, with enamel bands across the top and base and with multi color enamel in the dial center, bezel and on the frame of the mercury pendulum. This clock is in generally good condition; there are some small losses and touch up to the enamel in the top band. The well made Japy movement strikes the hours and halves on a coiled flat wire gong. It has not been cleaned in some time, and although it does tick and strike, would benefit from service. Ht 10.5" $750--$1,000

155.  C.1900, French "Night Clock" in good original condition. The short pendulum movement is held aloft by the lady in Egyptian dress. The 30 hour movement rotates the globe with chapter ring painted on. There is a holder inside the globe for a candle. We have sold this model before. Ht 20" $850--$1,050

156.  C.1935, German, J. Oswald Uhrenfabrik, GENIE, rotating eye clock. You tell the time by the position of the pupils in their eye sockets, minutes on the right and hours on the left. This is a composition case and it shows signs of some glue repairs over the years, and the tip of his turban is broken away, however it is otherwise complete and sound. The movement is running briskly, and is properly signed, J. Oswald, Germany. Ht 7" $500--$700

157.  C.1910, French, for J. E. Caldwell & Co., Philadelphia, signed on the dial and imprinted on the movement, oval crystal regulator in generally good condition. The 4 panes of curved and beveled glass are all xlnt and the case has been nicely polished. The only thing that keeps this from being excellent is a dial chip at the right winding hole, which extends over into the diagonal of the numeral 4. Otherwise a good clean clock. Ht 10.25" $550--$750

158.  Mid 20th Century, English, Passing Strike Skeleton clock in a cathedral style frame. This was made by a fairly skilled clockmaker, but he took some short cuts as he finished the clock; he made the rear verge support out of a piece of channel brass and soldered on the suspension stud; the crutch broke and is poorly soldered. The fusee movement started life as a 2-dial clock, with winding from either side, and he has applied a second small dial to the rear plate showing minutes only. Does run but the crutch is slipping on its arbor and will need some attention; hard to get into beat. The round dome with turned walnut base is recent; dome setting beside clock in foto. Note two Knights in Armor are engraved on the lower front plate. Ht of clock 14.5", ht with dome 17" $600--$900

159.  C.1940, Seth Thomas Clock Co., 8-day lever movement black bakelite case ward room or deck ship's timepiece in very nice condition with a small scratch near the screw latch. The 24-hour dial is in extremely nice condition with the remains of the US Navy name and serial number. The hands are original. Ht 7.75" $150--$200

160.  Mixed lot: C. 1885, Seth Thomas ALBANY, walnut case, now with a Gilbert movement, dial and hands. Not much to say here; the case is a nice example of this model and retains original tablet, gong and pendulum. Surely someone has a spare Seth Thomas movement for this /?/. Ht 20.5" $150--$200

161.  C.1904, Ansonia Clock Co., Royal Bonn, "LaCharite", 8-day time/strike porcelain mantel clock in generally good condition, running. This is a very pretty white porcelain case with painted flowers and blue and gold accents. There is a little bit of wear to the applied gilt work but is much better than average. The front edge of the left front foot has a little damage and was repaired with gold paint {the only shortcoming that keeps this item from being excellent}. The porcelain dial is perfect and the hands are original. The movement appears to have been recently serviced and is in running condition. Ht 10.25" $250--$350

162.  C.1890, German, Gustav Becker, Spring Driven 8-day T/S wall regulator, as-found. This clock has been in storage and is quite dirty, and missing the top and finials; one stray finial inside case; also some worm damage in left column and base. The well made Becker movement retains good porcelain dial and original hands. The turned 1/2 column case has lost much of its finish, and the back board is warped and split. Still has potential to make into an attractive clock. Ht as shown 33" $150--$200

163.  C.1850, Chauncey Jerome, New Haven, Conn., 30-hour lever movement wall timepiece in good condition with an original finish and some of the original decoration intact and some loss of the mother-of-pearl. The dial is paper over the original worn painted dial. The minute and seconds bit are not original. The movement is signed. No label. Ht 8.5" $125--$225

164.  C.1875, Seth Thomas Sons & Co., New York, "Chronometer Lever #5004", locomotive timepiece in good condition. The heavy cast brass case appears to have been nickel plated, but is now worn down to the brass base. The signed 4.5" porcelain dial is chipped around the fast/slow setting hole and around the seconds bit, and it has been painted in over the damage. The door glass has a crack that has propagated about 1.5 inches into the panel. The case houses a signed round plate movement of extra quality "Made in the best manner, with Steel Pinions & Chronometer Balance, Jeweled and are fitted up with finely tempered Hair Spring". Would be $500 in xlnt condition. Ht 7.5" $250--$300

165.  C.1900, Ansonia Clock Co., 8-day oak veneer schoolhouse timepiece in very good condition. The case has been stripped and waxed, and with one very small veneer patch on the bottom. The original paper dial is stained and worn a little in places. The tablet in the bottom door and hands are original. There is a dark but readable label inside the case. Has a good look and is complete and sound. Ht 25" $200--$300

166.  C.1835, Silas Hoadley, Plymouth, Conn. 30-hour wood movement time/strike half column and splat shelf clock. The mahogany veneered case for the most part is in nice condition with an original crusty finish. There is some minor veneer loss on the base, along the top and on the cross member of the door. The splat, which maybe original is split and a piece is missing from the top. The two chimneys and side returns look to have been replaced, which calls into question the splat. The ivory escutcheon in the door is a replacement. The two glasses are original, with the tablet being quite nice and having some minor loss in the area of the tree trunk. The painted dial is very clean and the movement is correct for the case. The label is a little dark, but readable. Ht 31.25" $200--$400

167.  C.1835, Silas Hoadley, Plymouth, Conn. 30-hour wood movement time/strike quarter column and splat shelf clock. The clock has had a fair amount of restoration. The feet are new and much too large for the case and the splat is new. The original dial is very clean with some wear around the winding arbors. The movement is correct for the case, but is need of some repair as the ivory bridge for the count wheel pinion is broken off. The two glasses appear to be original. Ht 30" $300--$500

168.  C.1832, Samuel Terry, Bristol, Conn., 30-hour time/strike wood movement half-column and splat shelf clock. This is rather nice clean as found clock with a finish that may have been removed in the past. The mahogany veneer is almost perfect with a just little damage around the keyhole. The original painted dial is very nice with some loss around the winding arbors. The label is very clean. The movement is a Samuel Terry and is correct. Overall this is a very straight clock. Ht 33.25" $250--$350

169.  Mid 20th Century, English, Passing Strike Skeleton clock in a lyre style frame with engraving on the front plate. This was made by a skilled English clockmaker. As with many skeleton clocks, he used an existing antique fusee movement as the heart of the clock and carefully fretted the brass frames and dial to give the impression of their 19th century counterparts. The front dial is nicely engraved: Wm. Bell, Ely. The bell is mounted to the back plate and the horizontal hammer rises once each hour to sound the bell. The round dome with turned wooden base is recent; dome setting beside clock in foto; base of clock covered with blue velour. Ht of clock 10", ht with dome 13" $800--$1,200

170.  C.1920, E. Ingraham & Co., "Nile", 8-day time/strike banjo wall clock in very nice condition with an original finish that is worn in places. The silvered dial is pretty good, with minor tarnish. The hands, pendulum and finial are original. The bottom box is loose from the throat {glue blocks have failed}, but this is a relatively minor repair. [see also lot 204]. This model strikes on a single melodious chime rod. Ht 39" $275--$375

171.  C.1894, Ansonia Clock Co., "Seine", 8-day time/strike enameled iron case mantel clock in very nice restored condition. The cast mountings have been carefully painted with gold. The original faux red tortoise shell finish is intact. The original raised figure dial is very nice with some minor wear on the painted numbers. The hands are original and the movement is signed. Ht 18" $175--$275

172.  C.1890, German, 30-hour time/strike cuckoo clock in generally good with original finish. The cast plate brass movement is marked "G.H.S". The carved bone hands have nice detail; minute hand glued couple of times. The center and right leaf section of the leaf crest has been broken off in the past and reglued; it is just setting in place for the foto. The number one on the dial has a small piece missing. The two bottom corners are missing part of their carving of leaves. The pendulum is original. The bellows are new and the sound is strong. Has a delicate cuckoo bird with articulated wings. The height, less pendulum is 19.5", with pendulum is 25.5" $175--$225

173.  C.1900, E. N. Welch Manufacturing Co., 8-day time/strike/alarm oak case gingerbread shelf clock in clean condition with original dial, hands, pendulum and tablet. The case has been stripped and sprayed and could use a little more finish. The paper dial is fairly clean, but has some stains. The movement is properly signed. We did not find this specific model in the catalog, but it appears to be part of a number or letter series. Ht 23" $100--$150

174.  C.1911, E. Ingraham Clock Co., "Ducat", 8-day time/strike/alarm oak gingerbread clock in very nice condition with original finish, hands, pendulum and tablet. The replaced paper dial has some minor stains {Swartchild stock}. A good looking clock. Ht 21" $100--$200

175.  C.1911, New Haven Clock Co., "Occidental" 8-day time/strike walnut mantel clock in generally good restored condition. The case has been stripped of its finish and the mountings have been gold painted. The tablet, pendulum, one of the two cast figures and the two mirrors are original. The dial paper is new on the original pan, but it requires some attention as pan-bezel needs to be resoldered in a couple of places; hands do not match. The movement is signed. Ht 24" $275--$375

175a.  C.1911, New Haven Clock Co., "Thrace", 8-day time & strike brass and green onyx crystal regulator in generally good condition. The onyx has roughness and & small chips on the corners. The front beveled glass panel has small chips at 3 of the 4 corners. The back panel has a crack that has propagated about an inch into the glass. The two side panels are fine. There are hairline cracks in the dial at 12, 2 and 5 o'clock and a chip repair at the strike side winding hole. The hands are original. Overall a good clock, complete & sound. Ht 11" $200--$300

175b.  C.1770, Germanic, Pennsylvania, Rack Strike, 30 hour 2-weight tall case, as restored by James Arthur in 1905. Mr. Arthur has applied a brass plaque to the re-painted dial bearing his name and the year 1905, and in addition has hand written instructions for care of the clock that are covered by the hood [the instructions are penned and signed by Mr. Arthur himself]. However, Mr. A was the most unorthodox of clock restorers and paid no attention to originality. There is a 1" reinforcement board added to the entire back of the clock, and the front door of the trunk and of the hood were re-made by him. There is NO glass in either door, and the hood door is coming loose. The "Compensating" pendulum is a nightmare creation of Mr. A himself, and the dial has certainly been painted with his own artistic touches. He tried to put a "jewel" finish on the mov't front plate & levers, and it is crude for sure. Still these Arthur clocks are prized by some and we are interested to see the level of interest. One counter weight is missing, one large weight with no bail or hook. Ht 94" $500--$750

176.  C.1870, F. Kroeber "Pyramid", 8-day time/strike walnut mantel clock in very nice condition with original finish and with beveled glass door and side panels {dial needs attention}. The movement is properly signed. The original dial now has plastic numbers and a piece of foil paper in the center. It probably had black and gold paper dial to begin with and the pendulum is not original. There is very nice clean label on the back. Kroeber offered a black iron version under this name as well. Restoring the dial and finding a Kroeber pendulum will double the value of this uncommon clock. Ht 17.5" $175--$275

177.  C.1863, Seth Thomas, Plymouth Hollow, Conn., "Parlor", 8-day time/strike rosewood veneer shelf clock in fair to good condition with original finish. The veneer will need attention, as there are small chips here and there on the case. The dial has paint loss along the outer edges and especially on the bottom. The three glasses are original. The two tablets are extra nice with just a minor amount of flaking. The lyre shaped movement is signed properly. Will restore into a nice clock. Ht 30.5" $300--$500

178.  C.1845, William S. Johnson, New York, 30-hour time/strike mahogany veneered OG shelf clock in good condition with some veneer chips and loss on the outer band of the case and some lifting on the OG molding that will attention. The two glasses are original. The tablet is very nice condition with a title of "View in Liverpool". The painted wood dial is in very nice condition. The hour hand is original, while the minute is poor {replacements are available}. The label is a little dark, but very readable. Ht 26" $150--$200

179.  C.1886, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "Marble No. 104", 8-day time/strike black and contrasting marble mantel clock in good condition with chips and roughness on some of the sharp corners of the case. The porcelain dial has open escapement on the dial, with a hairline crack at the 9 o'clock position, and some roughness around wind hole on strike side. The hands are original and the beveled door glass is perfect. The round plate movement is signed. Pendulum replaced. Ht 11" $100--$200

180.  C.1917, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "Prospect No. 18", 8-day time/strike mahogany veneered mantel clock in very nice condition with original finish. The painted metal dial is in exceptional condition. The hands are original. A great clock for the beginning collector. Ht 10" $75--$125

181.  C.1900, /Astral, for/ Smiths, Coventry, 8-day gallery timepiece in very nice condition. The wooden dial surround looks like cherry wood and there is an dry split in the lower edge around 5 o'clock. The dial is nice and crisp with signature "Smiths, Coventry". The movement is a non-fusee, going barrel type with the name "Astral, Coventry" stamped on the back. The hands are original. The pendulum is a heavy brass bob commonly found on fusee models, has had the threaded portion broken off and re-attached. Ht 15" $200--$300

182.  C.1978, Korean, 8-day time/strike, spring movement banjo clock. This is a prototype of about 20 that were made in the '70s by the now defunct California firm Westminster Clock Co, to copy an 1840 style banjo. It was ultimately decided not to produce them. The oak case with a Korean movement and an antiqued dial is fairly nicely made and would probably appeal to the customer needing a "decorator" clock. There is a carved eagle on the lower door. Ht 40" $150--$250

183.  C.1890, French, walnut and ebonized, carved wood mantel clock 8-day time/strike in good condition with an original finish. Note the two well carved sea serpents flanking the central tower. The porcelain dial has hairline cracks and chips around the winding holes, from someone using a key too large. The hands are original. The well made bell strike movement is stamped "G&S". The serial number on the pendulum matches the movement. Minor scratches on case. Ht 9" $150--$250

184.  C.1840, Jonathan Frost, Reading, Mass., 30-hour time/strike/alarm wood movement, mahogany veneer shelf clock in very fine restored condition {case refinished}. There is small veneer repair on the top front edge and a couple of tiny chips on the base, but overall quite nice. The painted wood dial is in very clean condition and the hands are original. The mirror appears to be original as it is very thin and old. You usually find a piece of cardboard behind the mirror to protect it, but there is no indication this mirror was ever out of the case. The top glass is original with some minor flaking of the black background. The clock even has a set of original dust covers. The label is very clean. A great clock for the beginning wood works collector [Alarm is weight driven, winds below 5]. Ht 28.5" $200--$300

185.  C.1910, Seth Thomas, "Regulator No. 2", 8-day mahogany timepiece in fair condition, with restorations. The bezel has been re-veneered and is lifting at the joints and at the edges. The bottom bracket has a poor repair to correct some lifting veneer and the two cap ends on either side of the base are missing. The movement is old, but the cast iron mounting bracket looks to be new and is broken and distorted and the movement is currently fastened with one screw. The dial is new. The pendulum & pulley are incorrect, but replacements are available from Timesavers. This is a timepiece for someone who wants to do restoration on the case and replace the pendulum, pulley and repair mov't mount. Weight is OK, but has been dropped; has original faded label in case bottom, with tears. In original condition, this would have been worth $2000. Ht 37" $400--$600

186.  C.1886, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "Omaha", 8-day time/strike walnut shelf clock in extra nice condition with an original finish, tablet, dial, hands and damascene pendulum. This clock is one of the city series offered by Seth Thomas. The case has some minor shellac loss here and there and a couple of minor dings. The dial is very clean with normal signs of wear. The grommet for the strike side winding hole is also missing. 70% label in bottom of case. An exceptional example of 'Omaha', and would make a nice purchase for the beginning collector. Ht 19" $250--$350

187.  C.1900, Waterbury Clock Co., "Parlor No. 87", 8-day time/strike porcelain mantel clock in Cobalt Blue & in excellent LOOKING condition, with restoration. The applied gold work is almost totally intact and is especially attractive. Hurts: the front bezel is from a French clock, and has vacant F/S hole above 12; the proper Waterbury movement is nickel plated, cleaned and married to the French bezel. The original porcelain dial is missing and is replaced with a paper dial, covered with protective plastic; the dial is a bit too large for the bezel.. The gong has been relocated & vacant hole in sounding board. There is a small paper label on the back. An attractive clock for someone who is not fussed over the details. Ht 10.5" $250--$350

188.  C.1890, German, 30-hour time/strike/alarm {3-weight} picture frame clock in a gilt and black frame with reserve painted dial and original hands in good condition; actually the only item that keeps this from being excellent is a replaced strike fan which was made out of aluminum and needs to be re-done {does work}. The little wood plate movement with brass wheels is very clean with original side doors, alarm bell and pendulum. Ht 12" $100--$150

189.  C.1875, Terry Clock Co., Waterbury, Conn., 8-day iron case timepiece. The black enamel has been rubbed down and all the design is absent. The original dial is stained and dark. The hands are original and the movement is signed. The label is dark and with losses but readable. The putty has dried and fallen out of the bezel and the glass is loose; we taped it in after the foto. Ht 9" $75--$125

190.  5 Iron Clocks, C.1875, Terry Clock Co., Bradley & Hubbard, & New Haven, 30-hour time/alarm iron case timepieces. This is a mixed lot, 3 by Terry Clock Co, one by Bradley & Hubbard {left}, and one New Haven {right}; all 5 were cast by Bradley & Hubbard. The New Haven one is a "Wee Wag". The smaller ones have cases in good condition with their finish pretty much intact and except for the Bradley & Hubbard have generally good dials and hands. The larger case has more significant paint loss, but enough remains to see how the case was decorated. The labels on the back range from good to poor. The heights range from 5.75" to 8". Ht 8" One bid for all. $100--$200

191.  5 Iron Clocks, C.1875 Terry Clock Co., Waterbury, Conn., mixed 30-hour time/strike/alarm. This is a lot of 5 iron case timepieces/clocks of about 8". The finishes on the cases are in good condition with losses and flaking. The dials look to original on all the cases that have dials {one without}. The hands are original on some and others not. The works vary from time only to time and alarm and time and strike. The movements are intact except for the case with the best decoration, which is missing its strike train. The labels on the back range from very good to poor. One bid for all. Ht 8.25" $100--$200

192.  C.1852, E. & A. Ingraham, Bristol, Conn., 30-hour time/strike/alarm scroll front shelf clock. The gold scroll work and mother-of-pearl case is in nice condition with the finish having been cleaned. There is some loss of the mother-of-pearl and normal signs of wear on the gold work. There is a repair to base of the left foot [piece glued in]. Both glasses are original. The signed dial has a fair amount of paint loss and will need attention {signature area is OK}. The unmarked movement is original to the clock; note Ingraham was using movements from various sources to case up. Ht 16.5" $150--$250

193.  C.1890, Boston Clock Co., 8-day time & strike mantel clock {tandem wind}. The black marble case with contrasting inserts is in good condition with minor chips along the bottom edge of the base, the front edge of the top and the bottom left corner. The porcelain dial is perfect and the hands are original. The case houses a seven jeweled movement {utilizes a single winding arbor} with half-hour strike, serial # 4264. A little floor wax got spilled on the base that looks like white flecks in the foto; it rubs off OK. A lot of clock for the money. Ht 9.5" $175--$225

194.  C.1913 William L. Gilbert Clock Co., "Vista", 8-day time/strike brass case crystal regulator in generally good condition. The front beveled glass panel has a little roughness on left edge, but the rest of the panels are fine. The porcelain dial has a couple of dark cracks and a chip at the 2 o'clock position. The hands and pendulum are original. Ht 10.75" $175--$275

195.  C.1885, E. Ingraham & Co., 8-day time/strike/alarm gingerbread clock in pretty good condition with a heavy coat of the varnish over the original finish. The original paper dial has darkened from age. The worn "Time is Money" glass is original. This is one of many mail order premium clocks that Ingraham made under contract for soap and other companies selling by mail; it has an instruction label identifying it as the "PANBY" model. Alarm is intact, as is cathedral gong, and retains original pendulum, hands, key, etc. The mercury thermometer is also intact {an amazement}. Would refinish nicely. Ht 24.5" $150--$200

196.  C.1920, English, Gravity Timepiece with compound bar bell pendulum. These are well made little timepieces, but easily damaged. This one is in very nice condition with an excellent dial and hands. The escapement is intact and is ticking along quite nicely. One of the finials is slightly bent, but is easy to fix. The brass case would benefit from a polishing. Ht 10.5" $175--$275

197.  Mid 20th Century, English, Passing Strike Skeleton clock in a delicate scroll & leaf style frame with engraving on the front plate. This was made by a skilled English clockmaker. As with many skeleton clocks, he used an existing antique fusee movement as the heart of the clock and carefully fretted the brass frames and dial to give the impression of their 19th century counterparts. This particular clock is a copy of a C.1890 model sold by Smith & Sons of Clerkenwell, sort of a "last gasp" effort to attract buyers, and has an engraved knight in armor at the top of the front plate, like the original, and in addition, the pendulum has the same quality engraving. The round dome with turned base is recent; dome setting beside clock in foto. Ht of clock 12", ht with dome 13.5" $800--$1,200

198.  C.1830, Riley Whiting, Winchester, Conn., 30-Hour wood movement time/strike half-column and splat shelf clock in generally fair to good condition, with restorations. The mahogany veneered case is pretty good with some veneer repairs, some pieces missing and the stenciling having been redone. The dial is not original as it has been cut to fit the case. The upper glass is old but has new putty and the mirror is a replacement. The Whiting movement is correct for the case. The ivory or bone escutcheon on the door is missing. The pulleys have been repositioned and raised up to cover larger holes made in the past. This clock could be used for good parts or if you enjoy restoration work it could be properly restored. Ht 35" $100--$200

199.  C.1838, Daniel Pratt, Reading, Mass, stenciled column and splat, 30 hour wooded works, as-found, in need of restoration. Note this odd case has triangular columns, usually a NH feature and usually in maple. These however are black with original stenciling [weak but visible]. Stenciling on the splat is weak but visible as well. The Pratt label is fairly good {some losses} and is dated 1838; dial is a little dirty but retains good paint and decent Roman chapter. The iron bell has been improperly replaced with a stamped alarm bell. There is missing veneer along the base board, bottom door edge and top corners. Has potential for the collector who likes something a little different. Ht 35" $90--$120

200.  C.1900, New Haven Clock Co., "Eldora", 30-hour, cast white metal, novelty timepiece. The case is complete and sound, but has been poorly brushed over with gold paint. The signed porcelain dial is perfect. The stamped brass cup that covers the movement is a little dented and one mounting screw is broken off. Ht 6.5" $50--$100

201.  C.1880, Ithaca Belgrade double dial calendar, 8-day time & strike, as-found, incomplete case. It is impossible to tell whether this clock began life as a shelf or wall Belgrade, since both top and bottom are missing, and the current hanger is not proper. However this is some good material for a restoration project. It is also not possible to tell whether it had black dials or white dials to begin with, since the roller covers and lower dial are black, and seem original {aged paper and cracking on the rollers}, and the top dial appears old as well. So you be the judge. The pendulum is the original and never damaged; movements good but dirty. Veneer chip lower left side. Height as shown 24.5" Totally restored, this would be a $4000 clock. $500--$800

202.  C.1890, Parts to an Ansonia HANGING ANTIQUE, including the dial and front panel with all cast trim, the movement, including leader and hands, the central splat casting {tall alcove with lady}, one side corbel, one side door, bottom splat and casting, center and side friezes and miscellaneous moldings. Except for one top finial, none of the top parts are there, no pendulum, chains nor weights. Still, when you figure a complete clock is worth $9000, there is a lot of raw material here for the handy craftsman, and you can check with Steve Sadowski for the casting that goes on the top. $500--$800

203.  Mixed lot: a C.1833, Marsh, Gilbert & Co., Farmington, Conn., full size carved pillar and splat shelf clock, now with a later Seth Thomas 2-wt 8-day brass movement. The mahogany case is in pretty nice condition with a crusty old finish and some minor veneer repair. The upper glass is original, while the mirror is a replacement. The painted and gilt wooden dial is most likely original, but has been redrilled for the brass movement. The label is in good condition with some loss, but enough remains to identify the maker. With a proper wooden movement {Jeromes & Darrow for instance}, this clock could be very nicely restored. Ht 37" $250--$350

204.  C.1930, Ingraham "NILE" banjo, as-found. The back board in the drum area is loose; needs attention to hold movement properly. Finish is worn on throat piece and right column; bottom reglued at some time; rest of finish OK. Glass is taped into the bezel. Still can be restored. Good label. Ht 38" $175--$225

205.  C.1900, French Marble 3-Pc Mantel Set, as-found, fell over in consignors house. Needs glass in rear bezel, rear hinges on slate need renewing and beveled glass is currently taped into the front; all glue joints in case are loose.
