001.  C. 1905, Ansonia LA PALMA, Royal Bonn, porcelain china clock, 8-day time and strike, solid dial, in a tri-color case, starting with aqua at top down to dark green at the base.  CONDITION:  this clock laid in the back of a pick up and there are some light scratches in the glaze on the back, but no apparent chips nor breaks.  Rear cover is missing; pendulum incorrect.  The dial has been papered over, and is damaged underneath; domed crystal is incorrect.  If you have a spare movement/dial set up you could restore this nicely.  Ht 11.5"   $250--$350

002.  Mixed lot from same era:  C.1890, American Ansonia ball swing clock, now on a French, spelter statue, with support soldered into left hand.  CONDITION:  the top ribbon trim is missing from the arm, and the hands are incorrect, finish to ball is abraded, and some dents.  Numerals and rest of arm are OK.  The finish is worn off the statue and it has turned gray with oxidation.  Our estimate figures the arm is worth around $600 and the statue around $100.  Ht 29"   $600--$900

003.  C.1975, Jim Davis, Greensboro, NC, miniature gingerbread clock, walnut cased, with 30 hour fit up movement.  Jim Davis was a rural postman outside Greensboro, and bought clocks at nearly every home in the area.  When the old ones dried up he began copying them in mini configuration.  CONDITION:  Fit and finish are quite good as is typical of his workmanship.  The 1-day movement is contained in a plastic case that is secured to the dial, which is in turn screwed to the case.  This model is roughly half size. Ht 13.5"  $400--$600

004.  C.1975, Jim Davis, Greensboro, NC, miniature shelf acorn clock, walnut cased, with German 8-day movement.  See lot 3 for details on Jim Davis.  CONDITION:  overall good original condition; movement ticks but appears to be very dirty.

005.  C.1975, Jim Davis, Greensboro, NC, miniature teardrop clock, walnut cased, with German 8-day movement.  CONDITION.  Back of case is slightly warped; minor discoloration on right side of case.

008.  C.1950, Herschede, Ohio {Horsehide brand on German 8-day lever desk clock}  CONDITION:  Although the last owner paid a good price to have this overhauled, the repairman left the minute hand dragging on the glass, so that it stops after a few minutes.  If you peer in, it looks clean as a bell, so I would imagine disassembly and some torque on the minute hand will solve the problem.  Ht:  7.5"  $50--$75

009.  C.1855. Chauncey Jerome, New Haven, early cottage clock with reverse painted tablet, signed "From C. Jerome, New Haven, Conn."  CONDITION:  Generally good condition with original wooden dial and old finish.  Hands are proper replacements.  Movement is not a ladder nor upside down, just a small 30 hour, narrow spring timepiece.  Ht 12.3"   $90--$120

011.  C.1884, Seth Thomas OREGON, 8-day, time and strike on cathedral gong.  CONDITION:  this clock is in good original condition, with old cocobola finish intact. The top trim has been polished down and wiped over with shellac [grain is still closed]. Original painted dial with 3 or 4 flakes.  Note the line drawing for this clock omits the two "ears" on this one, which is like one other we had, so we imagine the drawing was not updated after an early design change. One small chip on top right of marquetry trim; old split at top right of door. Retains original heavy pendulum with damascene pattern and full black label in case bottom that is barely readable.  Overall good example.  Ht 19.5"   $200--$300

012.  C.1900, French, Brass Cased, Time & Calendar desk clock, with 4 indications:  time at top, followed by day, date and month..  CONDITION:   the original paper dial has gotten wet and has 2 dark crescents.  The case was originally silvered and is now polished down to brass by the work of an over-efficient maid {silver shows in the crevices} . Date hand does not match the others.  Still a very unusual clock to the person who likes small quality items.  8-day lever movement is running, and is marked "AA", old lever platform is from another clock.  Ht  7.5"   $200--$300

013.  C.1925, Waltham Clock Co., 8-day time/strike mantel clock..  Condition - Mahogany case has some minor scratches and ding along rear edge,  but is in otherwise very nice condition with original finish.  Silvered dial is very clean with a slight amount of tarnish.  Hands are original.  Signed movement has the serial no. 23238.  There is a small brass label on the underside of the case with name of Irving and Casson, Boston and A.

Label with losses.  Still an uncommon model.  Ht 9.5";   $125--$175

015.  C.1955, German, GRAVITY - RACK clock.  CONDITION:  The movement has been cleaned and runs robustly.  We are not sure of the duration, something less than a week, as we only ran it for a few hours to verify condition.

The picture itself, with MOP inlay is one of the nicest we've had, and the frame is in great original condition.  Ht 27"   $250--$350

Rear cover is proper replacement; movement is signed; original pendulum.  Ht 10.75";   $200--$300

024.  C.1820 Austrian,  30-hour Grand Sonnerie desk clock.  Condition - This early 3-train movement with fusee time appears to have been fitted to a later purpose made case to give it a second life, light gilding on that case now worn. The movement probably had a porcelain dial originally, but now has a German acid etched 2-color dial available commercially.  The hands are appropriate for the dial.  The movement originally had a Viennese lever with solid steel balance, now with an old Swiss replacement.  The push button to repeat the strike is absent.  Runs and repeats reliably and is quite good looking.   Ht 7.5";   $200--$300

Condition - Oak stepped case in very nice condition with original finish.  Dial has original background paint, however the artist that re-painted the numerals it thought it should "wind at 6" when in fact this clock should wind at 6:30.  So you have to mount the clock crooked on the wall to make it appear correct.  Hands are original. There has been a repair to the case where the door hinge was moved from 12:00 to 9:00 position. Door latch is missing.  Nice label on the back; word "gallery" is flaked off.  Would be worth $2,000 if correct. Ht 25.6";   $900--$1,200

055.  C.1909, Seth Thomas, "EMPIRE No. 9", 4-glass crystal regulator, 8-day time and strike with signed porcelain dial.  CONDITION:  Except for someone substituting an old Waterbury pendulum, this clock is in very good original condition.  The pendulum seems to work fine, but a purist would want to find a Seth Thomas unit to use.  See Ly's 1996 book, #274; his value then was $575.  Ht 13"  $500--$600

095.  C.1890, English, 3-Fusee, 8-bell quarter chiming table clock, in oak with carved floral relief.  Condition:  the oak case has 2 vertical dry splits in the front which will need attention.  The case has been refinished.  The large and heavy movement measures 8 inches tall by 7 inches wide, ticking and chiming, hammers need some adjustment.  The gong is loose in the standard; was soldered to the block and the solder has failed..  The silvered brass dial has tarnished and some of the black wax is flaking out and it will need attention.  The 8 inch dial carries the name of the retailer:  PEARCE & CO., LEEDS & HUDDERSFIELD. Potential here.   Ht 20"   $2,000--$3,000

096.  C.1925, One Hand Clock Corp, Warren, PA, 30-hour lever movement novelty timepiece.  Condition - Brass case is in good condition with some small dents on the left side of the bezel.  Original paper dial is very clean with some minor discoloration due to aging.  Original base intact.

097.  C.1900, Swiss, ebonized quarter striking bracket clock, 8-day.   Condition - This clock appears to have been made at the end of the 19^th century, simulating an earlier period.  The country case is in good condition with some of the gold striping having been redone; rear door replaced and new lock applied; other moldings restored.  Porcelain dial has hairline cracks, chipping around the winding holes and near one o'clock.

No dome. Ht  21"   $200--$3,000

099.  C.1880 Swiss, Euenberger Interlaken, carved wooden case mantel clock, 8-day time/strike.  Condition - Highly carved Black Forest case is in quite nice condition with some loss of carving.  Around 2" of the front wing of the top eagle is missing.  One of the chicks in the nest has a small piece missing from the wing tip.  The hands are replacements, now discolored.  Movement signed Euenberger, Interlaken.  Ht 17.5";   $400--$600

100.  C.1820 Seth Thomas, 30-hour time/strike wood movement pillar and scroll shelf clock, with restorations.  Condition - Stripped mahogany veneered case is in very nice condition with some repairs.  The scrolls are original with one ear having been repaired.  There is a veneer repair to the door that needs more expert care.  The feet have been shortened and the back feet on both sides have been replaced.  One side return on the top has been replaced.  The original tablet has been inpainted in places and needs attention to correct the poor job.  The dial has stress loss to the paint.  The movement is not original to the case {Terry type, but not Seth Thomas}. The Terry type finials are new and wrong replacements for this maker.  Still has a commercial look for someone who wants a "decorator" scroll, or look for ST movement.  Ht 31";   $500--$800

101.  C.1865, L.F. & W.W. Carter,  double dial calendar, with BB Lewis perpetual lower movement, 8-day, 2-weight.  CONDITION:  Although original, except for replaced weights, this clock needs some tender care; the back of the clock is falling out, currently held in by tape {needs perimeter screws}, and the finish has been skinned off with steel wool.  Still, the rosewood veneer is pretty good, with only minor losses, and the original dials are very good.  Graining on the bezels is still good.  Label Ok, with about 20% loss, + with jeweler's label from Lynn, MA.. Will respond well to restoration.  Ht 32"  $700--$900

102.  C.1910, Ansonia Clock Co., Royal Bonn, porcelain china clock.  CONDITION:  the left floral basket has been recently repaired with epoxy, and the right one was professionally repaired some time ago {only apparent from side}.  This is a rare model; we have sold it before, but it is not listed in the Ansonia catalogs that we have available to us..  Retains original signed Ansonia movement, and multi color solid porcelain dial with red trim between the numerals.   Strong Bonn trademark on rear. Attractive coral color with floral trim and gold highlights.  Ht 16"   $500--$700

103.  C.1975, Reproduction No. 6 E. Howard figure 8 case in walnut.  CONDITION:  this is one of the nicer cases made in the mid 70s in Florida and the fit and finish are exceptional.  If you have a full size, meter pendulum Howard movement, you can complete this clock.  Complete original No.6 seem to be worth around $20,000.  There are no reserves on Saturday items, and we feel the estimate is realistic.  Ht 58"   $1,000--$1,500

104.  C.1975, Reproduction No. 1 Howard Banjo case in cherry.  CONDITION:  Like the previous lot, this was produced in the mid 1970s, to a high standard and is sure to please the collector or re-issue items.  A complete original No. 1 is worth approximately $9,000. Ht 50"   $800--$1,200

105.  C.1830, French, Henry Marc, Paris, inlaid boulle style mantel clock, movement with silk thread suspension, countwheel strike on a bell, and finely tooled brass hands.  CONDITION:  the case has had a hard life, a couple pieces of missing brass have been filled with gold paint.  The tortoise shell appears to be complete.  The porcelain dial has some chips, and paint over a large chip by the time winding hole.  Dial signed Hry Marc, a Paris.  Still a good looking clock with potential.  Ht 12.5"  $500--$800

106.  C.1920, German, Junghans, Westminster chime mantel clock, 8-day with brass dial and silvered chapter ring, and levers for F/S and chime/silent.  CONDITION:  There is a repair to the veneer top center, near the front of the case {not missing, just split and came loose with stress and has been glued back down}.  The art nouveau designs on the front are intact, with only minor age splits.  Movement ticks and chimes; plates show evidence of excess oiling.  Ht 17.5"   $300--$400

107.  C.1975, Marton & Gain, S.A., Spain,  2-train fusee skeleton clock, less dome.  CONDITION:  this clock is a one owner, but has been in storage for a long while and there is some light rust on the steel work.   Seems to tick and strike fine.  On original walnut base with Marton and Gain sticker and serial number 835S024.  A 19th century striking skeleton sells in the $5,000 area; our estimate recognizes the young age of this clock.  Ht 17"   $1,500--$2,000

108.  Mixed Lot: C.1870, E. Charon,  French, sweep second pinwheel escapement, 8-day time/strike, now in a 4-pillar empire mantel clock.  Condition - Mahogany veneered case is in very nice condition with a little veneer loss on the base and a chip just above the left pillar.  Movement is a pinwheel escapement with a quality vernier beat setter, but has an outer bezel and crystal, & is from an enclosed mantel clock and has cut outs in the rear of the bezel where straps used to me.  Mov't now mounted from the "ceiling" of the case with an "L" bracket, and you have to hold the movement with your hand when winding; a handy workman could make 2 little side brackets to fit in the cut outs, and screw to the pillars and it would all be stable.   Finish on case is original but sun damaged in places.

182.  Mixed lot: C.1910, Junghans 8-day swinging arm movement, now on a C.2000 Chinese cast bronze repro kangaroo statue.  Hard to say more; the consignor bought this from a large dealer as an "Old" clock, and the clock part is old for sure.  The clock arm is worth at least $250 as a replacement for a lost arm, so that is the basis for our estimate.  Ht 11.3"   $250--$350

183.  Mixed lot:  A C.1860 English dial case, now with a C. 1900 fusee movement.  Condition:  the marriage of the two is obvious because the holes where the movement attaches to the rear of the dial have all been double drilled, and washers added for depth.  The dial has been repainted and says:  Hollister, London.  Mahogany case is sound and nice looking.  A good looking clock if you can overlook the marriage.  There are 7 other fusee dial clock in this sale.  Diameter = 15"  $300--$400

187.  Mixed Lot:  C.1910 Junghans Elephhant & base, with a C.1998, Chinese repro swinging arm.  Condition:  the arm is clean and ticking as you would expect for a new item.  The statue has great patina, original wooden base {refinished}, with worn felt underneath.  Hard to estimate; the statue should be worth around $200, and the arm around $50. Note arm is out of beat and not running.   Ht 11"   $200--$300

188.  C.1890, French, Gilt Cast Iron Wall  clock, the movement probably from another clock as it is a bit too deep for the case, and is held into the iron casting by 2 wood screws forced into the brass bezel.   Condition:  the porcelain dial has large paint repairs to cover chips at the winding holes.  Good Japy Freres bell strike pendulette movement runs and strikes.  Ht 21"  $75--$125

These sold for a few hundred dollars, our estimate is realistic.   Ht 5.5";   $75--$150

198.  C.1939, Seth Thomas, Mark I Deck Clock, with black dial, serial # 1076.  Condition:  this pre-war clock is well made and has the uncommon brass plated stainless steel case.  The once luminous hands and numerals are now discolored, and no longer glow.  The movement is clean and in running order.  Great clock for the military horologist.  Diameter of chapter ring = 5"; dia of case = 8"   $250--$350

Carter, 8-day time/strike weight calendar clock.    Condition - This clock is a project that is in need of some TLC.  The rosewood veneered case is in very good condition with some loss on the base and on each side of the base where a small piece has been cut out.  The incomplete backboard has section from a Carter calendar clock that is not original, but could be made to fit by adding a new piece to each side.  Weight guides that are not original have been added to the case. They were probably attached to the original backboard.  The original painted dials are in good condition with some paint loss on the upper dial.  The hands are original.  The bottom door glass IS original, but has been touched up. Heavy strap brass Welch movement is proper. The estimate reflects the condition.   If the clock had been right it might have achieved $1,200.  Ht 33.25"   $300--$400

Stabilizer screws are missing, but mounts are there, case stripped of finish.  If you have a spare weight movement with an 8" dial you could turn this into a nice wall clock.  {New Haven movt is OK, but pend a bit short for this case} Lots of potential  Ht 44";   $150--$250

215a.  C.1900, French, Japy Freres,  oak cased mantel clock, time only, platform lever escapement, 8-day.  Condition:  there is one small trefoil missing top left of case; otherwise a nice case with corner columns.  The movement appears to have never been serviced and is not running, although it is complete and sound.  Biggest hurt is the reverse painted glass dial that is cracked in 4 places; this would be a job to replace.  Ht 11"  $75--$100

Co., of New Britain, Conn.  The movements for this timepiece were made by the Gilbert Clock Co.  Ht 12";   $200--$300

245.  C.1875 French,  Morbier wall clock, double dial 8-day time & strike {made up}.  Condition - This large size movement with a verge escapement is in very clean condition.  The movement was rather skillfully converted to a double dial by the addition of a dial and motion work from a later clock and connected with handmade universal joints.  The later dial has hairline cracks and the embossed bezel has damage.  The dial to the main movement has hairline cracks and some chips on the outer edge. Hands to the movement are original.  Access doors to the movement are original.   There is a foldable pendulum with this clock, but the pendulum disk has been flattened from its original convex shape.  There are no weights with this movement, but they are obtainable from Merritt's for about $20.00 each.  Movement is otherwise clean and complete. A conversation item as is, or convert back to regular clock.  Ht 16";   $300--$500

246.  Mixed lot:  C.1840 Attleboro banjo case, now with a Jerome marine style movement and dial.  Condition:  Someone cut out the original dial pan with holes to match the dial from Spring driven Jerome movement.  The wooden top bezel has a dry split at 12.  Top right ear of sidearm is broken off and inside the case.  Primitive country tablet is old but not oroginal.  Can re-use Jerome movement and dial in a small gallery clock.  Ht 30"   $150--$200

249.  C.1855, American Cast Front shelf clock, 8-day time and strike, probably by American Clock Co, New York.  CONDITION:  Only fragments of original label remain.  Dial repapered  and case painted over with gold paint some time ago and now dirty.  Still, the case is sound with no breaks nor missing pieces.  Note musical theme, mother and child holding a lyre between them, and 2 dolphins below.  Will restore nicely.  Ht 20"  $100--$150

250.  C.1830, George Steel, Horton, Nova Scotia, 30-hour time/strike wood movement shelf clock, poorly restored.  Condition - Mahogany veneered case is in good condition with veneer repairs and missing pieces.  The glasses are replacements and the "stenciling" on the columns is newly applied by brush.  The dial is worn and has paint loss.  Typical American collector would use this for parts, but we are confident the collector of Canadian items will restore this.  Ht 33.75";   $75--$125

251.  C.1930, Concord Watch Co., Switzerland,  8-day travel timepiece.  Condition - Leather bond case is in only fair condition with wear on the edges, scratches and scuffed areas.  Large 15-jewel watch movement is in nice condition with a beautiful dial and hands.  Inside of the back lid of the watch is also marked.

254.  Mixed lot: German Walnut Mantel timepiece, 30 hour with porcelain dial and original top.   Condition:  This is a good looking clock,  but some time ago the original movement was replaced by a small Badische Uhrenfabrik unit.  It fits the dial spacing fine and runs OK, but there are extra holes in the case mount from the original mov't.  Old hands are from a larger dial, cut down and soldered to fit this dial.  Lots of "look" for low price. Ht 16"   $90--$120

255.  Mixed Lot:  A C.1890 German movement in a recent Chinese case with new dial, hands and moon phase indicator at top.  Condition:  In order to get this long pendulum movement to run in the case, they have compounded the pendulum {bob at top and bottom}.  Although the original movement is well made, the craftsmanship on the calendar parts and pendulum is very crude, typical of what Ohio importers were bringing in around 1990.  You will find several of these mixed lots in tonight's sale. Ht 22"   Our estimate is salvage value of the German movement:  $100--$200

256.  Dial only, C.1890, French, Multiple time zones dial. Condition - Heavy brass bezel with multiple porcelain dials for revealing time in different cities in the world.  The dials are in very nice condition except for two of them that are chipped around the center hole; would not show with hands in place.

258.  C.1930  Swiss,  8-day travel or desk timepiece.  Condition - Tooled leather bond case is in good condition with some wear on the edges.  Movement may be by the Concord Watch Co. as we have seen similar travel timepieces by them with identical dial and hands.  "Black, Star & Frost, New York" retailed this object {name on dial, and with gold foil on the leather covered base}. Overall very good condition.   Ht 3.75";   $75--$150

259.  C.1913 New Haven Clock Co., 30-hour figural novelty timepiece.  Condition -  Cast metal case is in fair condition with some of its original gold finish remaining; one of the "toes" of the base has been epoxied on, and the entire base has separated at the girl's ankles and been glued with super glue.  Porcelain dial is perfect and hands are original.  We couldn't find this specific model in the catalog.  Ht 10.25";   $30--$60

260.  C.1901 Ansonia Clock Co., "Tauric",  8-day time/strike mantel clock.  Condition - The cast white metal case has lost most of its gilding and has been painted over.  Porcelain dial has hairline cracks and chips around the winding arbors.  Hands are original.  Movement is signed.  The pendulum bob is a replacement and not the proper type.  The left rear foot has broken at one time and repaired, and still weak.  Replacement pendulum bobs are readily available.  Ht 17.5";   $225--$325

261.  C.1960, Swiss for Tiffany & Co., strut desk clock with 8-day jeweled movement.  CONDITION:  case is scratched and missing some gilding.  Minute hand is off its post {stem looks OK}; hand is laying on dial for foto; ticks and mainspring is Ok. Ht 4"   $90--$120

261a.  C.1900, French, cast brass mantel clock, architectural case, 8-day time/strike.   Condition - Case in good condition with some tarnish and oxidized spots..  Porcelain signet numbers on the dial are perfect.  The hands have surface rust that will need to be addressed.  The movement lacks a pendulum & strike bell.  Good potential on restoration.  Ht 18";   $225--$325

261b.  Movement only:  C.1870 Jn. Lumb, London, 8-day, weight driven, time/strike double dial brass clock movement.  Condition - Signed movement is in as found condition that will need restoration.  The steelwork has surface rust, with some parts worse than others, especially the winding arbors.  The movement has a set of hands that appear to be original.  This movement probably set in a wall cavity and had an average size dial on one side and a large public dial on the other as evidenced by a counterweight for a large pair of hands on one side.  Has Graham dead beat escapement. For comparison, the bell is 7" in diameter.  Ht 13";   $300--$500

261c.  C.1900, French, swinging doll timepiece, 8-day, in a gilt figural case/LESS base.  Condition - Gilt bronze case is in very nice condition with most of the gilding intact.  The case was originally mounted on a marble base and there must have been some sort of backdrop behind the swinging doll.

The "skeletonized" front plate movement is marked with a logo, and retains original hands.  Movement is sound with no apparent damage, and clock will come to life with a base.   Ht10.75";   $200--$400

261d.  C.1890, Watch Hutch, with MOP buttons as decoration.  Condition:  there was originally a glass dome that was glued to a hinged "bezel" around the hutch portion; you simply tilted the dome back to gain access to the watch.  The diameter of the bezel is 3.6" and we believe one of these small modern domes will fit.  Other than the lacking dome, it is original and in very good condition, one MOP button missing..  Westclox "Scotty" is included.  Ht 5"   $40--$60

261e.  C.1948, Swiss, Angelus Naveo, 8-day 5-dial nautical brass desk timepiece - weather station..  Condition - Brass ships wheel with calendar-barometer-hydrometer-temperature + time function. Overall in nice condition with evidence that it was originally gilded.  All the dials show signs of age and discoloration.  The hands are original.  The watch movement automatically sets the calendar dial {we turned it through a cycle to check}.  The reference hand for the barometer may have had some type of knob that may be missing.  Ht 7.5";   $100--$200

263.  C.1835 Daniel Pratt,  30-hour time/strike wood movement shelf clock.

264.  C.1830, George Mitchell, Bristol, CT,  30-hour wooden works clock case, short.  Condition - A very nice clean mahogany veneered case with a small piece of veneer missing on the base.  The stenciling on the columns/splat may have been re-done, however it has plenty of age, and most collectors would be happy with it..  The tablet is original, but has had some restoration.  The case was later fitted with a brass movement, as there is a spacer block in that location.  There is also a hole in the base, now covered by a piece of cardboard to allow for the swing of the brass movement.  The pulleys are now missing, but that is an easy repair. The case must have had pineapple finials, as there are holes in the chimneys.  If you have a short pendulum movement, dial and bell, this case could be nicely restored.  Ht 28.75";   $100--$200

264a.  Mixed Lot, C.1895, Ansonia Clock Co., "La Salle", 8-day time/strike porcelain mantel clock, with changed New Haven movement  Condition - Very pretty white porcelain case has had the right front foot repaired.   Porcelain dial has a couple of hairline cracks and is chipped around the winding arbors.  Hands are original to the movement.

624.  C.1900, French, MONK ALARM, animated alarm clock.  Condition.   Despite numerous hairline cracks in the dial, this is amongst the nicer of these models we have come across.  The external gold paint on the casting seems original, the monk has his original painted "robes", and the bell at top retails original tu-tone finish.  Little pendulette movement is complete, sound and rattles the bell nicely as monk's arm moves up and down.  Ht 14"   $400--$500

626.  C.1905, Jennings Brothers, Chicago, logo on an Ansonia "Crystal" brass and glass clock.  Condition:  somehow the brass base of this clock came into contact with mercury, which has permeated  the brass and permanently discolored it a gray shade.  The pendulum is original, but one glass vial is replaced and is a bit smaller.  The rack strike movement {made by Ansonia}, has been left unsigned, the dial with JB logo.  Has good open escapement movement, a bit dirty but runs through it all.  Ht 10.8"   $150--$200

627.  C.1900, Brass Cased Carriage Clock, time, strike and repeat, in a simple Corniche case.   Condition:  this clock took a tumble years ago and the top left front corner got pushed in a bit.  The rear glass got corner chips at the time, but the balance of the glass is fine, perhaps replaced at the time of the fall.  The porcelain dial is perfect and with original moon hands.  The gilt case has original lacquer, but with much wear and oxidation of the finish.  Original silvered lever platform is intact, gummy, does not tick, but staff is still intact.  Ht 6.7"   $300--$400

628.  C.1830, French, Bronze & Ormolu figural mantel clock, a lady kneeling and praying.  Condition:   the well made striking movement is sound and functional, except that it is absent a bell and a silk hook type pendulum; it bears on a number in the left margin.  Gilt dial and hands are original.  This type clock in France brings at least 500 Euros today.  Ht 11.5"  [30cm]  $300--$500

630.  C.1935, English?, Sun Compass, incomplete.  What is here is in pretty good condition, the brass nicely polished.  Missing is some type of insert that goes into the two upright bars.  Sun compasses were used by the Vikings in their trips to America over 1000 years ago, and there are hundreds of designs.  An Englishman name Cole made a version for use on military vehicles in WWII, where they were needed in the Sahara desert. This instrument draws on the fact that the sun's shadow from the tip in the middle of a disk describes different hyperbolas at different times of the year. When you have the hyperbola representing some degree and you know for sure the date, you don't have to know the time of the day in order to find the general directions. All you have to do is rotate the disk until the shadow of the tip falls on the hyperbola, and the general directions are given with an accuracy of a few degrees.  Heavy.  Ht 9" (23cm)  $200--$300

636.  Mixed lot:  C.1800, French,  Gilt Wood carved case with cast dial, now with a C.1900, gong striking movement.  Condition:  Note that the dial plate has been drilled to adapt it to the later movement; winding arbors do line up OK.  Movement is a well made solid plate cut pinion job that will last forever.  The case has some splits and repairs and has received a couple shades of gold paint; originally was gesso over the wood and gold leafed.  Still a lot of decorator clock for the money.  Ht 32"  $300--$500

637.  C.1900, French, 3-Piece Mantel Garniture set, clock & two 5 light candelabra.   Condition:  this clock has experienced some distress; the cast bezel has been replaced with an old spun brass bezel, and the glass is loose; hour hand is broken.  Time only 8-day movement is dirty and will need service {does tick if you put some pressure on the train}.  If you can deal with the required work, you will end up with a very impressive set.  Ht 24"   $400--$600
