Original bottom glass has had the accent and "Regulator" paint removed.  The case is very similar to the "Observatory" model, this original pressed pattern top is different than what you normally see {this pattern was sometimes used as the base on kitchen clocks}, and was probably sold to a retailer as a "Premium" gift clock.  Partial remains of a label on the back.  Ht 36"   $175--$275

048.  C.1900,  French,  8-day time & strike bakers wall clock, hour repeat, 8-day spring.  Condition - Refinished walnut case with carved corners is in very clean condition.  Original silver painted dial is in good condition.  Hands are original, but the hour hand is missing its pointer.  Movement is a large iron framed unit that strikes the hours, and then repeats them at 2 minutes past the hour.    Ht 16"   $200--$300

There are several empty holes in each plate, and a cutout in the back of the case for a bell.  This clock has potential for someone to complete the restoration in a proper manner.  Interestingly, the case also has little gilt brass rosettes at all 8 corners, and they appear to have always been there.  The inlay on the lower bracket is an urn with leaf display on an oval background.  Case has been refinished.  Ht 41"   $750--$1000

080.  A C.1870 French, signed Pons Movement, in a recent home copied Empire style mahogany case.   Condition:   wish we knew who made the case.  Although his brushed on black finish needs improvement, the accuracy of his dimensions and joints is very good.  The movement, bezel, pendulum, facades, and capitals on the 4 pillars are all old, only the wooden parts are new.  Fancy pendulum has 2 swans and numerous flowers.  Bell was off for movement foto, on now.  Ht 20"  $300--$500

Most of the ormolu has gone dull, after regular cleaning by the maid left the bronze with out protection.  Ht 16.5"   $400--$600

Original painted dial is very clean with some minor paint loss around the mounting screws and a couple of chips in the center.  Hands are original. Dial = 7" If a fusee, would have been $900+.

085A.  C.1890  German, Schlenker & Kienzle,  8-day  time/strike R/A pendulum wall clock.  Condition - Walnut alt-Deutsch case in nice condition with original finish. Door has some age cracks.  There is evidence to suggest this movement may not be original to this case as there are extra holes in the back.  Old carved top is from another piece of furniture, much more crude than the case itself, but color matches well.  Still a decorative look for where originality is not of concern.   Ht 36"   $175--$225

085B.  C.1890, English, 8-day time & strike inlayed wall clock, not running.  Condition - Rosewood veneered case is generally good condition with some veneer damage on the back edges of the curved top and bottom.  Round screw type molding on the middle of the bottom bracket probably had some type bottom or finial that is now missing.  There are some small inlay pieces missing on the upper area of the door.  Dial pan appears to be original, while the actual dial is a replacement.  Hands are original.  Top to this clock is missing.  Movement was made by the Caledonian Clock Co. after an American design; note the time spring broke, forcing the #2 pivot up and out of its hole.  See foto of movement; the pivot is not broken, and cleaning and a spring should solve the problem.   Ht 30"   $150--$250

085C.  C.1920,  French, Electrique Brillie, battery master timepiece, with center seconds hand.  Condition - Oak  case is sound, with damage to the top back edge of the case where a section of oak broke off and was reglued poorly.  Marble backboard for the movement has some small damage on the bottom right corner.  Original painted dial is very clean and the hands are original.  Spun brass bezel is dented above 12 o'clock.  Pendulum rod is somewhat bent.  Case has a label attached at the top of the firm "Ste Magnet, Paris".  Brillie clocks were developed from a clock invented by Charles Fery in 1908; the main difference in his design is that the magnet is suspended as the pendulum, and the coil/electro magnetic field is stationary on the back of the case.   I remember a man in Fullerton bought one of these from Leo Sevrens in 1972 for $500.  Ht 17.5"  $300--$400

086.  C.1900, German, for the Eastern market, moving eye cuckoo clock, 1-day, time and strike.   Condition:  the weights, chains and hooks seem to be later replacements.  The movement is original to the case, as are the eyes and old articulated cuckoo.  This one has a nice turbaned lady {flowers decorate the turban}, with the clock dial appearing in her mid section.   Needs cleaning and adjusting, but worth the effort.  Ht of clock only 14.5"   $300--$400

None of these problems is insurmountable, just require time and attention.  Ht  76"   $300--$500

099B.  Mixed lot: C.1920, a paneled oak cabinet, now with an Ithaca, NY chain drive, 8-day striking movement, mounted on wooden blocks, with new paper dial, and the cabinet secured to a plinth from a C.1840 tall case clock.  Condition:  unsure what to say here, the movement is basically sound with all wheels present; susp leader is absent.

101.  C.1810, Dutch, Stuhl Clock, 30 hour, from a barn in Bloomfield, CT.  The lady phoned Chris at the museum and said she had an old clock that had been hanging in her barn for decades.   Condition:  there is no weight {uses a single 7 pound weight to power time + strike via continuous chain}.  The lead trims have losses and the right side one broken off and wired on long ago.  The painted dial has never been refinished, and with losses and corrosion.  Alarm train missing.  Still has lots of potential.  Funds from this clock will go into the Museum Acquisition Fund.  Ht 27"  $750--$950

101A.  C.1825, Norris North, Torrington, Conn, miniature pillar and scroll, with restorations.   Condition:   this clock has been carefully restored by a very good workman, but even his talents can not cover the signs of repair.  The dial, hands, columns, scrolls, feet and skirt are new.  Mounts for the dial are new.  The balance appears old, including a nice label, now protected under plastic.  The movement is complete and sound, with some repairs, ticks and strikes.  The door tablet is old, C.1845 from a New York OG  {Sperry or Johnson origin}.  As you can see from the foto, this clock is cosmetically very attractive. An original of this model would bring around $5000.  The set of period finials is worth $500 alone.  We have estimated this at the price of a nice reproduction.  Ht 28.7"   $2000--$2500

101B.  C.1880, Austrian, 2-Wt, 8-day  Vienna Regulator, in an Alt Deutsch dark walnut case.   Condition:   the movement to this clock sat on someone's back porch for one winter, and has turned blue with oxidation.  The wheels still turn, and it will restore, but will require service before use.  The porcelain dial has a crack and hairlines at 8 o'clock.  Hands, weights and pulleys are original.  The top is old, but made up of bits from another piece of furniture, actually looks fine on the case.  Ht 49"   $400--$600

101C.  C.1875, German, Gustav Becker, 3-Wt, Grand Sonnerie,  Vienna Regulator, in a double door style case with original top.   Condition:  the movement needs some professional attention.  The trains are complete between the plates, however the quarter gathering pallet is missing and the quarter strike hammer is missing, and two of the weight stops are lacking.  These are all things that someone used to Viennas can repair, however not for the timid.  The mounting bracket and movement are original to the case, we took off the bracket to be sure.  Potential here for the right workman.   Serial # 433217.  The weights are setting in the bottom of the case; orig 3 pulleys are there, tied on, but cord is only on one train.  Ht 49"   $1000--$1500

101D.  C.1905, Czech, Gustav Becker, 2-Wt,  Vienna Regulator, in a dark walnut case, with some old worm damage in top molding, rod strike.   Condition:  Well made Becker movement is signed Schechoslovakia and with serial #817680.  We are unsure of the number series in the Czech operation, however this is certainly a late clock with silk screened silvered brass dial, and embossed dial center, pendulum and weights.  The dowels in the old top have been re-newed; seems to  be the original top.  The top mounting could use some additional reinforcement, as there is worm damage at that point.  Movement in need of cleaning. Ht 48"  $500--$800

101E.  C.1795, French, Crown Wheel / Verge Grand Sonnerie Morbier movement and pendulum [no weights], with silk suspension tower on the back of the top frame.   Condition:   this movement is in very clean condition and counts out the quarters & hours on 3 bells.  The dial has a dent at 8 o'clock, and associated cracks, but no loss.  The bottom piece of repoussé dial trim is lacking.  The pendulum is a Provincial grid / lyre in pretty good condition; note on this early movement, the pendulum swings at the Rear of the movement, rather than the front.   Ht 52"  $1000--$1500

101F.  C.1850, French, EMPTY CASE with no lower door, surely for a Morbier weight movement.  We actually set the above movement inside the case to see if it would fit, and it does, with room for the large lyre pendulum.   Despite needing a door, this is a large masculine case, good for either a 2 weight or 3 weight Morbier.  Ht 96"  $300--$500

101G.  C.1975, English ROLLING BALL Clock, kit-made, as found, clean and running intermittently.   Condition:   a good mechanic followed the instructions of this kit fairly well and has the basic layout correct.  However for power he has used a regular English fusee movement from a pub clock, and it simply does not have enough power to run beyond the first few hours of spring tension.   If you enjoy tinkering, this may be for you. In concept the ball travels the zig-zag route on the platform and releases a latch that allows the table to tilt in the other direction, at which the ball begins moving in the opposite direction.   Ht 12.5", 32cm   $1500--$2000

102.  C.1980, Seth Thomas {Div Talley Industries}, Triple Chime wall clock in a mahogany case styled like the famed  No. 2 Regulator.  Condition:  like new; this clock has a good German movement, great sounding chimes {your choice of Westminster, St. Michaels or Whittington tunes} and seems to be working properly.  A well made and decorative clock.  Ht 34"  $500--$600

103.  C.1845, Sperry & Shaw, Courtlandt St, New York,  30 hour OG, mahogany cased shelf clock, 2-weight time and strike.   Condition:  Original finish on case has been rubbed out and is now a bit thin; dial has been nicely repainted by the Dial House.  Absolutely fabulous original tablet of George Washington, standing beside a table with crossed flags above {these New York tablets were painted quite differently than the Connecticut ones, and with a more flake resistant paint}.  About as good as it gets for a nice OG.  Ht 25"   $200--$300

104.  C.1880, Ansonia Clock Co., TRIUMPH, in walnut, 8-day time and strike and with restorations.   Condition:  The 2 finials and 2 drops are recently turned {to match proper samples}, the top tip of the crest is broken away and was smoothed over, the case has been refinished. The two statues are modern replacements.  On the positive side, clock retains original dial, a great indicator pendulum {an uncommon model with Ansonia patent}, a good tablet of Don Quixote {see Ansonia "AMERICA'  for example of this tablet}, and a good beat scale & cathedral gong.  Generally very good condition.  For details, see Tran Ly's [1998] Ansonia book, page 447.  Ht 24"   $450--$650

105.  C.1868, Seth Thomas, 8-Day Column Clock uncommon 8-day duration in short case.    Condition:  overall very good condition, with some minor veneer chips.  Retains original dial, deer tablet, rosewood veneer, decent label [some losses and coming loose].  This small lyre movement is marked Plymouth, and would have been assembled into this case shortly after the Civil war, as the label is Thomaston.  The cord rollers are now made of aluminum, replacement weights made of lead.  The alarm set wheel and alarm are missing, but could be replaced with old parts.  This clock was sold to an eBay bidder in October 2005 {lot 259} and returned because the movement shook apart in transit; we put it back together {nothing missing} and it runs and strikes OK; could stand cleaning. It does look as nice as the fotos!  Ht. 25" $300--$400

105A.  C.1880 Welch, Spring & Co., "Gerster, V.P.",  8-day time/strike mantel clock, with restorations.  Condition - Refinished rosewood and rosewood veneered case in very nice condition, some spindles on top appear to be restored.  Current black dial with gold numerals seems a proper Welch dial, however, the center has been glued over with a piece of black paper.  Hands are replacements, but of the proper type.  Patti movement is original to the case.  Door glass is original.  Pendulum is new, from China, proper copy of Welch sandwich glass pend..   Remains of a label on the back of the case {no longer legible}.  In original condition, this would have been worth $2000.  Ht 16.5" $800--$1200

105B.  C.1880 Welch, Spring & Co., "Patti, V.P.",  {full size #1} 8-day time/strike mantel clock.  Condition - Rosewood and rosewood veneered case in very nice condition with an original finish, restoration of the top finials {new rosewood finials with proper profile}, and small veneer repair on the bottom front corner, plus a single hole through the back.  There is a small spot of lifted veneer on each side of the back edge of the top.  Patti movement is original to the case.  Painted dial is very nicely done, to proper scale, but is a modern replacement.  Hands are replacements also, and the proper type.  Door glass is  original.  Pendulum is new, from China, proper copy of Welch sandwich glass pend..   Nice label on the back of the case.  In original condition, this would have sold for $2000.  Ht 18.5"   $800--$1200

105C.  C.1913, Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, CT, EMPIRE No. 17, crystal regulator, with 4 panes of heavy beveled glass and faux mercury pendulum.   Condition:  this clock came out of a home in Springfield, and the maid must have polished it every day, as the gilding is totally gone from the case, and it has turned dark brown.  The porcelain dial and pendulum are nice.  Movement ticks and strikes, but is dirty and will require cleaning before regular operation.  Porcelain dial has a single horizontal hairline crack from 7 to 3.  For additional information on this model, see Tran Ly's book on Seth Thomas & Movements, 3rd edition, Volume 1, page 242.  Ht 17"   $400--$500

105D.  C.1895, Ansonia, JUNO SWING clock, 8-day mysterious swinging arm timepiece.   Condition:   the statue of Juno has been refinished, and she has one finger broken away.  The ball also has bee stripped of its painted surface, and now is bright brass.  These items are all restorable.  Clock seems to tick fine; hands original.  See also lot 435 for another Juno.  Ht 28", 71cm  $2000--$3000

Brown},  30 hour time and strike rosewood steeple, full size, with alarm.   Condition:  the case has been refinished, has some nicks and scrapes, veneer chip base lower right, lower left and peak.  One might think at first that J. C. Brown had died at this time, however Elisha Welch took over the Brown business in 1855, and Brown did not die until 1872.  In 1864 as Welch acquired more companies, the organization {and labels} changed to E. N. Welch Manufacturing.  In any case, this is an earlier steeple clock with original dial {with margin losses}, label {with lower water stain}, bell, gong and alarm mechanism.  Original frosted heart shaped tablet with wear.  Ht 20"  $150--$200

Ritchie & Son, 2 Leith St, Edinburgh, GPO.  Note the second set of motion works are mounted on a third plate, held with pillars to the rear plate of the movement, a shaft extending from the front motion works rearward.  {now cable drive} Ht 16"     $400--$600

114.  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.  We sold the sister to this case in May 2005, lot 103.  Ht 58"   $1,000--$1,500

115.  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 14"   $500--$700

124.  C.1880, English, Fusee Dial  clock, mixed lot, less bezel and crystal, with 18 inch dial, partially restored.   Condition:   the clock is missing the top hinged bezel and glass; the hands are newly cut to fit the clock; the dial has been repainted by the Dial House, with name of J.

125.  C.1870, E. W. Ebb, Birmingham, single fusee drop dial, as-found.   Condition:  in need of some restoration, the top wooden bezel has been replaced with a new piece of mahogany [a sanitary job].  The bottom of the case has gotten damp and is now absent veneer. The carved "ears" are original and very nice, with grapes and grape leaves.  The movement has shaped plates, and is clean, with cable drive.  The painted dial is odd, done in 3 colors, the top and side numerals in Red and the first two initials in Red  and the B in Birmingham in red; have not seen this combination before.  Ht 28"  $300--$400

126.  C.1835,  Mass Area Banjo, Unsigned, 8-day weight driven timepiece.    Condition - Old mahogany case in nice condition with restoration.  Naval tablets are not original, but are very nicely done on old glass, and have some age.  Bottom bracket is a later addition.  There is evidence that the bezel may not be original {extra holes}.  Hands are period and proper.  Old dial may have been repainted.  Movement is period, but not original to the case, as there is an old stained central hole in the drum  back that would have held the mounting screw of the original movement.  Clock has a great look, and runs fine.  Ht 35.5"   $600--$800

127.  C.1832, Eli Terry & Son, Plymouth, Conn, short drop mahogany carved case, 2-wt, wooden works.   Condition:  The tablet was repainted improperly with a skater from the 1950s.  Both glasses are old, but replaced {wooden strips holding them in}.  The case itself is quite good, with only a couple of veneer chips, and the carved eagle splat is exceptional, one toe missing on left foot.  Retains a good label with minor losses and had turned dark.  Has a good dial and hands, good period pendulum bob with high crown {& proper short pendulum mov't}.   For comparison, see lot 252. Note this clock was made by partnership firm of Eli Terry [Sr] and his son Henry, after Eli Terry, Jr, left the concern to become a movement supplier.  For this exact label, see Ken Roberts book on Eli Terry [1973], page 206, plate XVII.  It is uncommon for us to have two such hard to find clocks from this very short partnership.  Ht 32"   $1200--$1800

128.  C.1891, Waterbury, Regulator No. 3 {?}, 2-weight, timepiece in an oak case.   Condition:  this clock is very attractive in appearance, nicely refinished some time ago and with very nice patina, raised panel on bottom trim absent.  On removing the original dial, we find that the movement has a cam to operate a calendar mechanism.  The back of the case has been refinished, so difficult to tell if it had a calendar in, or if someone found the movement for a #26 and installed it….in any case he left the cam in place so one can enjoy the clock as is, or remove the cam, or find a Wby calendar mechanism {pretty standard for models 23—33}. Wby label in case bottom not legible. The movement has been recently cleaned and strung and is in good running order, and keeping perfect time in the case.  Ht 46"   $1400--$1800

129.  C.1990, Reproduction No. 18 Seth Thomas wall regulator, with an original No. 18, signed ST movement and dial.   Condition:  the solid oak case has been finished to a medium caramel color.  The pendulum bob is from a smaller regulator.  Seems to run and keep time OK.  Some flakes on the old dial at 9 + 10.

Original silvered dial has mellowed to a very light brass color with some loss to the black of the engraved numbers.  Butt & Co., Chester is faintly visible on the dial.  Minute hand replaced.  Large & robust fusee chime movement, uses pin drum to count the hour.  Mov't signed with  W & H, in SCH trademark. Running and chiming well.  Gong assembly will be removed for transport. Ht 13.75”   $1,250--$1,750

130.  C.1915, German, Black Forest Shelf Cuckoo, forest motif, with new rear dust cover, and less top trim.   Condition:  the clock was restored maybe 20 years ago, with new covers for the bellows and a movement clean.  Somehow it has gotten separated from its carved top, and someone has put an old set of hands with it for which the centers are too large {they can be bushed to fit}.  Half the numerals on the dial are missing.  Cuckoo bird is old and intact.  Running duration on these spring clocks is 2 days.  Has a heavy cast frame movement with lyre plates.  Ht 16"   $200--$300

131.  C.1910, Wm. L. Gilbert, Progress No. 56, Hanging gingerbread with pressed "Owl" pattern.   Condition:  Maybe 70 years ago, the bottom of the clock got broken away and a determined owner had his repairman make a new splat from his memory…it has sure been there a long time.  But investigation reveals that the lower design is cut into the wood, rather than pressed and the center owl has been cut out of veneer and then glued onto the splat.  Having said these things, this is an uncommon and desirable Gilbert model, and even a collector can accept these changes allowing of course for the price he pays.  From a distance there is NO awareness of the restoration.  There is also a shelf model of this clock.  Ht 24.5"  $250--$350

132.  C.1890, Austrian, 2nd Baroque, 3-Wt Grand Sonnerie wall clock in walnut, 8-day duration with engraved pulleys.   Condition:  this is a clock that was purchased too quickly by the owner, yet still has possibilities.  The  dial center is from another clock, and the inner bezel stressed a bit to get it to fit.  But that is not the hardship; the problem is that the winding holes do not line up.  You will need to cut a brass circle and space the 3 winding holes properly in order to be able to wind this clock.  The chapter ring itself has a couple hunks of missing porcelain, not too bad from a distance.  The backboard is held on with dry wall screws; case refinished.  These problems are not obvious in the foto, which is how the clock was purchased.   Ht 48"  $1200--$1500

133.  C.1885, German, for the English Market, 2-fusee, wooden plate, drop octagon wall clock with countwheel bell strike on the hour.   Condition:   all of the inlay is missing from the mahogany veneered front.  The movement strikes and ticks weakly….will need cleaning, however is complete and sound, and a very good example of Black Forest work at the time.  Although the plates are wooden, this seems to be an 8 day with cut steel pinions and brass bushings.   If this were an English clock with brass movement, it would fetch around $700 in this condition.  There is a small London sticker on the rear.  Ht 21"   $250--$300

134.  C.1830, Austrian, Rahmenuhr, or Picture Frame Clock, 30 hour, time and strike in a gilt frame with ebonized surround.   Condition:  there are some problems to deal with:  the rear dust cover is half missing, easy enough to replace with thin pine; the gong has been pulled out of round and is rubbing on itself and will need replacing.  Movement itself is complete and sound, just dirty.  See a similar example in Kaltenböck's book, Viennese Timepieces, {1993}page 176. Ht 19"  $400--$500

135.  C.1900, English, Souvenir picture clock, 30-hour, a night scene showing Big Ben, with the clock mounted in a box behind the picture, and the hands showing in the same location as the dial of Big Ben.   Condition:  above average for sure; many of these have not survived well and this one is pretty good.  The painting is still good, with its MOP intact, and the dial is still good as well.  There is some loss and touch up on the gesso around the outside of the frame, and the frame has some warp to it.  Ht  27"   $200--$300

136.  C.1900, Vermont Clock Co., Fairhaven,  8-day crystal regulator timepiece, lever 'scape.  Condition - case in nice condition with most of the gilding worn off.  Original porcelain dial is perfect and hands are original.  Beveled glass panel in the rear door is chipped on each bottom corner.  The rest of the panels are perfect.  Beautiful nickel-plated and damaskeened signed rear plates with a jeweled escapement.  An uncommon make, since their total production was only 3000 clocks of all  styles from 1896 to 1902.  Ht 9.5"   $300--$500

137.  C.1880,  William L. Gilbert Clock Co., "76 Alarm - Rolling Bell "   30-hour alarm timepiece.  Condition - Nickel plated brass has most of the plating worn off.  Original dial is stained and darkened a little.   Alarm indicator hand is a  replacement, but the other hands are original. One of the mounting hooks to hold the movement in the case is missing.  This configuration can be a bit fragile, and this case is especially good, despite the tarnish present.  Ht 10.5"   $50--$100

138.  C.1890,  German, (Badische Uhrenfabrik G.m.b.H.) 30-hour music box alarm timepiece.  Condition - Nickel and brass case is in pretty good condition with some tarnish.  Celluloid dial is perfect and hands are original.  Movement is stamped with a B inside a crescent.  Tune plays with some buzzes, as dampers are bad, but still sounds Ok for a novelty clock.  Ht 7"   $50--$100

One ball foot is missing. Right lever has been welded; rest of wagon spring assembly OK.  Case could be restored or used for parts to restore a better example.  Ht 25.5"   $400--$500

247A.  New Haven Clock Co., "Cabinet No. 10",  8-day time and gong strike mantel clock.   Condition: very good to excellent original condition.   All American companies tried in the last quarter of the 1800s to produce clocks with classic "Antique" designs, and New Haven was no exception.  This clock has their premium round plated movement with brushed plates and French style cathedral gong.  The only minor note is that the sentry's lance has gotten bent over and we didn’t have the courage to try to straighten it.  For reference, see this model in Tran Ly's book on New Haven clocks {1997}, page 201, figure 761.  Ht 16"   $400--$600

Brown, S.B. Smith & C. Goodrich [something has eaten away the  "Goodrich"].  This is a very uncommon model, only the second we have had in a decade.  Ht 28.25"   $600--$800

249.  C.1886,  Ansonia Clock Co.,  "Reflector",  8-day time/strike wall clock.   Condition - Original finish is in very good condition; some small touch-ups to the applied gold decorations.  The original dial has age darkened.  Tablet is original.  Side mirrors have been replaced as the catalog states they were beveled glass mirrors.   Still this is a difficult to find model, and certain to attract extra attention.  Ht 35"   $750--$1000

250.  C.1890, E. Ingraham & Co., "Reflector No. 2",  8-day spring wound timepiece.   Condition:  This clock is out of a home in New Hampshire and is really in fine as-found and original condition.  Although the paper dial has gone dark with age and has some bubbles,  it is not worn and is still good.  The gold leaf lower tablet is typical of early Ingraham models, as is the large bull's-eye pendulum with leafy trim.  It is interesting that the late Roy Ehrhardt included this model in his reprints, but somehow Tran Ly omitted the model from his 1998 printing.  The finish is dark, and we are unable to tell whether the clock is mahogany or walnut.  Ht 32"   $400--$600

251.  C.1900, German, Gustav Becker, 8-day time & strike wall clock, double door style with brass trim.  Condition:  Walnut alt-Deutsch case in very clean condition with original  finish.  Center finial maybe a replacement, glued on a bit crooked.  A small piece of molding on either side of the center finial appear to be missing. Porcelain dial is perfect and the hands are original.  Dial has a label of the vendor that reads: "J. Sichrovsky, Prague".  Movement is signed with Becker logo; has great pendulum with embossed eagle and multi color dial with red accents.   Despite minor losses, a clock with exceptional style.  Ht 36"   $400--$600

252.  C.1832, Eli Terry & Son, Plymouth, Conn, short drop mahogany carved case, 2-wt, wooden works.   Condition:  The case was professionally refinished around 10 years ago and  the bottom tablet repainted in place by Tom Moburg.  The carved columns, shell splat, and toed feet are outstanding.  The label is a little dark, with a quarter sized loss at the left; names and data are fully legible.  Note this clock was made by partnership firm of Eli Terry [Sr] and his son Henry, after Eli Terry, Jr, left the concern to become a movement supplier.  For this exact label, see Ken Roberts book on Eli Terry [1973], page 206, plate XVII.  Ht 31"  $1500--$2000

253.  C.1831, E. & G.W. Bartholomew, Bristol, Conn, miniature column and cornice, with pineapple finials and paw feet.   Condition:   generally excellent; the veneer surfaces have been carefully refinished, leaving the original stenciling on the painted surfaces; the dial is outstanding and untouched.  Both glasses are original; lower tablet has some paint restoration to the house, but is otherwise perfect.  Carving on original finials and feet is excellent.  Great, bright label.  Ht 28"   $2000--$2500

254.  C.1885, German, Mayer, Animated Dog Novelty timepiece, with panting tongue and wagging tail.   Condition:  the finish on the dog is worm mostly to bare metal.  The embossed metal tail has been repaired.  The well made brass movement is signed "MAYER". The compound pendulum enclosed within has an extension for the red painted tongue, and on the other end a pivot is attached to the tail, resulting in eye catching movement.  The 1" porcelain dial has some cracks.  Overall good condition for its age.  Ht 5"   $1000--$1500

255.  C.1860, Bradley & Hubbard, JOHN BULL blinking eye novelty clock, one day.   Condition:  overall very nice condition.  Although the paper dial was replaced long ago with a Swigart printed dial [circled S on dial], this case retains its original paint, with some chips and flaking and corner wear.  Eyes are original.  Glass over dial replaced, and tabs soldered on in lieu of plaster.  Hands were replaced long ago, look OK.  Base of clock with imprint:  T. Kennedy, Pat applied for, 1856.  Some books call this the Squire model.  The early base was scalloped {see Distin & Bishop, page 201}, while later models had the flat molded base like this {see Bourne's catalog dated  June 19, 1987}.  See also lot 409. Ht 16"  $1750--$2250

256.  C.1885, Wm. L. Gilbert, "LATONA", 8-DAY, time and strike {spring movement}, walnut case.  Condition:  the case was nicely refinished long ago and now with nice patina.  The dial has been professionally re-painted {seconds bit is slightly to the right, where it has always been, an odd trait on this model}  Minute hand is a replacement, but looks OK {should be solid}.  With an 1892 repair label from Des Moines, Iowa {Hobbs Jewelry}. Overall a nice example of this model.  Ht 30.5"   $500--$800

Caldwell, Philada, Love Birds, ormolu and white marble mantel clock with original matching side urns, jeweled lever movement.     Condition:  this is a lovely set with most of the original gilding intact, finely chased hands, original dial that is perfect, and double signed movement, so there is no question of its origin.  The one small loss is that the gilt trim for the bases of the side pieces is missing, the holes now filled. As most French enthusiasts know, the various French makers [Japy, Marti, Pons, Vincenti, etc] imprinted most of the movements made after 1850, and with their latest award, and the year of that award.  Since this movement bears the award year of 1900, we know it was not made before that date.  Ht 11"   $750--$1000

258.  C.1980 Wayne R. Cline, Bowling Green, KY, Mini No. 70 Regulator , in cherry, with front, key wind, spring driven movement.  Condition:   almost like new; this is an older model, predates his serial series on these small reproductions.  Very minor corner abrasions, and other wear commensurate with age of case.    Ht 15.25"  $500--$750

260.  C.1640, English, Thomas Knifton, at the Crossed Keys, Lothbury, Londini, Lantern Clock, originally a balance wheel clock, probably converted around 1680 to pendulum operation {pendulum absent}.   Condition:  except for the conversion to anchor 'scape, this clock is in reasonably good original condition, with original dial, bell and alarm disc intact {although alarm train is now absent}.  Has nice original engraving; frets and hands are period.  Chain should be replaced with rope; uses standard meter pendulum.  Weight is early brass sheathed.  This is one of several clocks de-accessioned from the Wells collection at Old Sturbridge Village, in their inventory since 1957.  It will not be too long until this clock has its 400th birthday.  Ht 16"  $1500--$2000

Generally good+ condition.   Ht 21.5"  $600--$900

266.  C.1890,  Austrian, Gebrüder Resch, Walnut Cased 2-Weight VIENNA REGULATOR, 8-day duration.   Condition:  other than some inactive wood worm holes, this clock is in great shape.  Quality Resch movement with 2 extra nice pulleys with unusual spoke pattern.  Unusual case style with built in arch top is especially attractive.   Clock has been in storage.  Although the movement ticks and strikes, it should be cleaned.  Ht 45"   $900--$1200

268.  C.1900, Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Ct, Regulator No. 2, in oak and in very good to excellent original condition.  The only items that keeps this from being outstanding are some veneer chips on the bowtie portion just under the dial, and some loose plywood on the rear that does not show.  Otherwise, it is about as good as you will  find with a great original dial, good original finish and label inside case bottom.  Ht 34"   $1750--$2250

269.  C.1890, German, 1-Weight, Vienna Regulator,  with  Mother of Pearl, and with floral accent painting..  Condition:  the case decorations, although attractive, are not original to the case, rather done by a handy craftsman some time ago.  The mother of pearl has been skillfully glued onto the surface of the veneer, and then accented with black and gold.  Looks as good as the foto.  Ht 40"   $700--$900

270.  C.1880, Welch, Spring & Co.,  LUCCA, V.P., 8-day rosewood shelf clock., time and strike.   Condition:   overall this clock is in good condition with original gilt tablet and sandwich glass pendulum.  Finish of the clock is original with good patina, and minor nicks and scrapes; one area on upper left molding is rubbed to bare wood.  One minus we could see is the changed {long ago} center finial.  It has a similar profile to the others, but has been elongated by the maker to suit his opinion of style.  For reference, see Ly's 1992 Welch book, page 170, where both the line drawing and actual photo show 3 identical finials.  Ht of this clock 25"   $700--$900

272.  C.1900, German, Winterhalder & Hofmeier, Quarter Striking bracket clock, with unusual 3-note quarters, mahogany case with line inlay.   Condition:  the case has been attractively refinished; original convex crystal intact, neat pierced brass sound frets on side. Silvered dial with Arabic numerals is especially nice.  Retains original key lock bezel and rear door.  Someone made a gong standard support that has come unsoldered; this was actually a good idea and can be easily repaired.  Strike works as follows:  at half past you get TWO sets of 3 descending notes, sort of mi-re-do.  On the hour, there is no quarter given, rather the hour is counted on the deepest gong.  Ht 16"   $500--$750

273.  C.1890, Austrian, 2-Wt Vienna Regulator, in a large walnut case with original top & finials.   Condition:   the movement has incorrect hands {do not even engage the post}, lacks winding grommets, otherwise porcelain is in good condition with no chips nor hairlines.   Unsigned movement is complete & of high quality; Rod strike has nice sound.  Iron mounting bracket for movement has been in place for a long time, however extra holes in case back indicate the movement was likely changed; pulleys do not match.  Some dry splits in case door.  Cosmetically an impressive looking clock that will respond to TLC.  Ht 51"   $500--$700

274.  C.1890, French, {S. Marti} Carved Royal Crest Clock, 8-Day, open brocot escapement on porcelain dial, the walnut case with a lion to the left horse to the right, birds and fruit below.   Condition:  there is no pendulum for this clock, however replacements are readily available from Timesavers in Arizona.  The quality of the carving on this case is exceptional.  There is one vertical crack, extending from 8 o'clock, upwards through the entire case.  Very attractive.  Ht 21"  $600--$800

275.  C.1893, Waterbury Clock Co., PERTH, walnut cased, 8-day time and gong strike wall clock.   Condition:  dial is poorly repainted; hands from another clock {proper replacements are available from Timesavers in Arizona}.  The book does not show these particular finials, however they are old.  Back of case has a dry split.  Otherwise a decent old clock with original finish that will respond to dial restoration and cleaning.  An uncommon and desirable model.  See Tran Ly's book on Waterbury Clocks, page 196, figure 593 for additional details.  Ly 2001 price guide is $1100.  Ht 41.5"  $800--$1100

276.  C.1920, French, CHOCOLAT REVILLON, advertising clock from a candy shop, 8-day timepiece.  Condition:  Overall the ad paint is excellent; really bright & remarkable.  The well made Japy Freres pendulette movement is complete and sound, but would benefit from service.  The original minute hand has been repaired.  Ht 23"  $300--$500

277.  C.1905, Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, CHATHAM, 8-day round oak timepiece with 12 inch painted dial.   Condition.  Excellent original condition throughout, recently cleaned and running well.  For additional information on this clock, see Tran Ly's book on Seth Thomas, 3rd Edition, page 352, figure 1141.  Ly 2004 price guide $350.  This clock with SUPER label on rear.  From a home in E.

This is a quality Victorian re-cast.  The well made bell strike movement is numbered 2404, and with matching number pendulum.  Overall very good condition.  Ht 13"   $1750--$2250

279.  C.1845, Birge & Fuller, Bristol, Conn, WAGON SPRING, with Daniel Pratt overpaste label on 8-day double steeple case.   Condition:  needing some attention will be the fact that someone who did not understand the clock took a sawsall and cut the backboard in 2 horizontally, and it is a little unstable; some glue and a small tasteful reinforcement will solve the problem. Secondly, one "accelerating lever" has been welded, perhaps why the case was cut. On the plus side is the nicest Dan'l Pratt card label we have seen and the GREATEST set of original cut tablets in today's sale.  Original dial is also nice.  Movement is signed.  Old finish on case with nice patina.  Ht 27"   $2500--$3500

Copy of receipt is in the clock.  The original is at the podium. This clock has been idle for many years and could stand oiling before use; otherwise fine.  Campos signed mov't, weight and case.  Ht 41"  $1750--$2250

299.  C.1830, CONNECTICUT BANJO, 30 hour mahogany veneer wall clock, 2-weight time and strike.   Condition:   this is a very clean example of this uncommon clock.  The throat and bottom tablets are original with flaking—really exceptional, without borders as expected.  The top glass was replaced some time ago if you look at the putty carefully, but well done with a piece of modern "antique glass" with lines and striations.  The movement is a typical Terry type.  The dials are a bit peculiar to these clocks, a bit narrower, taller than wide.  The original paint on the dial has some loss that needs professional repair.  Ht 35"   $3000--$5000

300.  C.1825, Erastus Hodges, Torrington, Conn, Pillar & Scroll, 30-hour, 2-wt shelf clock, with tablet repainted in place.   Condition:  generally in very good condition, the case refinished some time ago and with nice patina.  The finials are modern.  Scrolls are original and good; feet and skirt nicely replaced.  The "East-West" movement has some repairs, however seems complete and functional.  The Hodges label is excellent.  Hands are period. Wonderful original Hodges dial matches reference dials.   Ht 32"   $2000--$2500

301.  C.1845, J. C. Brown, Forestville, Full ripple beehive, 8-day time and strike in rosewood.   Condition:  Although the case has been nicely refinished, and the hour hand replaced, the clock is otherwise all original with decent dial  {flaking above 10 and 12}, super lyre tablet, 100% of veneer and ripple intact, and a crispy label that is bright and easy to read.  A very nice example. Ht 19"   $1750--$2250

301A.  C.1900 French, Year Duration,  black marble mantel timepiece, in need of restoration.   Condition - Black marble case in rather nice condition with some minor roughness on the back edges of the base and couple of the sharp edges of the base.  Original porcelain dial that reads: "Regulator Going One Year Without Winding", has a big chip at the bottom of the winding arbor, and needs better attention. Hands are original.  Tandem wind round plate movement with five mainsprings has been converted from pendulum regulation to a cylinder platform escapement, from a novelty clock.  It could be run this way, but to make it right it needs to be converted back to a pendulum {you would need escape wheel & arbor, verge & arbor w/ crutch, side cock w/suspension, and pendulum}.  Would be worth $5000 except for the conversion.  Ht 15.5"   $1000--$1500

301B.  C.1870, Gustav Becker, 8-day  time/strike Free swinger wall clock, Serial #101771.  Condition - Refinished walnut case in very nice condition with a dent in the case just below the top arch molding, & with the following exception:.  At some point the bottom edge of the case was damaged and the owner dealt with this by changing the shape {with a jig saw} and didn't quite do it to factory standards.  It is not bad, but not first rate either.  Original  silvered dial is tarnished.  Hands are original.  Movement is signed; one movement hold down screw is missing.  The bottom could be improved by a good cabinetmaker.  Would be $1750 if perfect, so our estimate allows for the restorations, and still impressive as is.  Ht 40"   $800--$1000

The 2-piece, silvered brass dial bears the dame S. Detter, in Wien, re-applied when the dial was refinished.   It has a round, friction style beat set adjuster, and a delicate 4 spoke pulley.  The pendulum has a steel rod, with some pitting; bob is brass both front and rear.  Silvered style beat scale is absent from case.  Top left corner nicked and re-glued.  Ht 44"  $5000--$8000

Ht 23"   $1400--$1800

328.  C.1825, French, Ormolu Figural Clock,  ADRASTE, Roman Warrior with woven leather skirt and body armor, lance in his left hand, pointing to his shield with his right hand, 8-day time and bell strike, silk thread.  Condition:   there is some wear to the gilding on the sides of the base and the rear, but facing surfaces are still quite bright and original.  The dial has been refinished, and the hands are off of a much later clock.  Still this case shows a very high level of detail, and is worthy of attention.  Correct moon hands can be ordered from Timesavers in Arizona.  The name Adraste is engraved in the center of the shield at top.  Ht 18"   $2000--$2500

329.  C.1890, Waterbury  Clock Co., REGULATOR No. 7, walnut cased wall hanging jeweler's regulator, pinwheel movement, 1-wt timepiece.    Condition:  At some time the clock hung near a corner where the door was inconvenient opening from the left, and a good cabinet maker switched the hinges to the left, and took out the door lock {the hinges are original}.  Otherwise this clock is in excellent original condition, the original finish rubbed to a nice sheen.  There are some minor scuffs on the pendulum bob, but no dents.  Large lyre pendulum has wide oval rods, alternating nickel and brass color.  Porcelain dial and music scroll hands are perfect.  For literature, see Tran Ly's book titled Waterbury Clocks & Watches, pages 174—176; Ly price guide for 2001 = $15,000.  Best part of this clock is an excellent original label inside the case bottom.  Ht 82"   $10,000--$12,000

When Spain surrendered to Napoleon Bonaparte in 1809, he placed his brother Joseph at the head of the Spanish government.  Suddenly there was no organized flow of command to Spain's possessions in the Americas, and in 1810, insurgents began their quest for independence.

332.  C.1825, French, Ormolu Figural Clock, HOMER, 8-day time and bell strike with silk suspension movement.    Condition:  the original gilding is in very good condition.  In this clock Homer has his hand on a sitar, his flute laying idle with a wreath.  The frieze below shows homer with an adolescent, warming their hands at a stove, preparing to play a lyre [at left]..  For a similar statue of Homer, see  Catalogo de Relojes del Patriminio Nacional   Page 162.  This is a wonderful color presentation of a French exhibition of clocks at Madrid in 1987.    There is no pendulum for this clock.  Numerous hairlines in the porcelain dial.  Ht 14"   $1200--$1600

333.  C.1900, English, Pascoe, Penzance, 3-Fusee, 8-Bell, 5-Gong, 2-tune quarter chiming bracket clock, oak veneered case.   Condition:  generally good condition, the movement complete and mechanically sound, the bells sound quite nice as they belt out the Whittington tune and the set of gongs plays the Westminster melody nicely as well.  The case has been refinished; was originally "Old English" in color, now a bit lighter, but much of the stain is still in the wood.  The tips of both finials are missing; delicate side frets are cracked and will need gluing; couple of minor bits are missing.  The attractive dial is bright with the gilding still bright on all spandrels, and with 3 subsidiary dials in the arch for F/S,  Chime-Silent, and Whittington / Westminster.  Ht 27"   $3750--$4750

334.  C.1820, French, Blanc Fils, Palais Royal, "LE VOLAGE FIXIE", or 'trapped butterfly', Ormolu Figural Clock, with silk thread suspension movement.  Condition:  the early movement to this clock has not been serviced in many years and is quite dark.  The porcelain dial has some scratches and hairlines at 10 & 2, and a chip at the left winding hole.  This is one of my favorite clocks in today's sale because of the unique subject matter.  Amazingly, although the small glass jar and butterfly were loose on the clock, they had not been lost, even the ventilated lid to the trap is still there and it could easily be misplaced..  And lest anyone doubt the title of the clock, it is spelled out in banner form, in capital letters across the base of the clock.  Ht 17"   $3000--$4000

335.  C.1880, English, Large 8-Bell, 3-Fusee, quarter chiming bracket clock in mahogany with engraved silvered dial.   Condition:   other than a vertical split in the mask that goes 'round the dial, this clock is in very good original condition.  There are 3 subsidiary dials in the crest above the chapter ring for F/S, Chime /Silent, and Chime on 8 Bells {Whittington}, or Westminster {on 4 bells}.  The robust and well made movement will need some oiling and adjusting, but is complete and sound.  The substantial case retains original finish in very good condition with nice sheen.  Ht  23"  $3500--$4500

349.  C.1885, E. N. Welch Mfg, Forestville, Conn, "Regulator G", 8-day double weight, time, in ash, with burl accents.  Condition:  the case has been refinished, to a medium "gold" color, and the carved top has been copied from another example {pretty well done, you can see the hand work up close}.  The dial has been re-papered a proper black  & gold blank, which it certainly had, as the original gold plated hands are intact.  Overall good condition and a difficult to find model.   For a reference foto and additional details on the movement of  this model, see Tran Ly's WELCH book, page 112.  Ly's 2004 price update puts this at $4000.  Ht 51.5"   $3000--$4000

352.  C.1987, E. Howard & Co., Boston, No. 59-6 Regulator, in black walnut {reissue}.  Condition:  virtually like new in all respects.  Note this model was scheduled for limited production of 350 units, however less than that were ever finished and delivered.  In May of 1987, the suggested retail on this model was $3795, and the wholesale price for dealers and later for Nawcc members was $1897.50.  A copy of the original page from the brochure is included with the clock.  This the scarce size, as the 8 inch dial is far more common. Ht 39"   $1750--$2250

353.  C.1880, E. Howard & Co., Boston, No. 70 Regulator, in oak, 8-day, weight driven timepiece.   Condition:  overall very good restored condition, the oak case refinished to a medium gold color, the dial repainted, and the tablet properly restored.  Original movement with E. Howard markings.  The one minus is the weight, which is now lead, but proper iron replacements are available from Timesavers in Arizona.  {the current weight runs the clock fine} Ht 34"   $1400--$1800

353A.  C.1870, E. Howard & Co., Boston, No. 4 Banjo, 8-day, weight driven timepiece, fruitwood case, with rosewood graining.   Condition;  this clock is out of a home in Vermont, a one family ownership, only thing missing is the bow-tie to hold down the pendulum during transit, and the #4 weight got replaced with a #5 at some point.  The original glasses are flaking, but OK as is, or fully restorable without re-doing them.  Original finish on case is good. Bottom has been out at least once, and lower left glue block is laying loose in case.  Original painted steel dial has some scratches and crazing, but is a nice example of mid-19th century work.  Retains super original label that is coming loose and should be glued carefully in place.  Ht 32"   $2000--$2500

354.  C.1890, E. Howard & Co., Boston, Custom Public clock, 8-day, weight driven in a special order carved walnut case.   Condition:  overall very good restored condition.  The 10 inch dial is original and there is no touchup evident; mounts at original 4 holes.  The attractive case has been refinished.  The bottom broke off at some point and has been glued across the carving… looks OK, but a purist might re-do it.  There were originally half dozen small stubby finials on the bottom center  of the case, and now only their dowel ends can be seen.  The original #3 movement is properly signed E. Howard, and is held in with brass tabs; the center mounting hole in the back plate was never threaded, so we can be doubly sure this is the original movement.  The pendulum stick was brushed with gold paint at some time; pend length is 32.5"; hold down tab is absent.  The pendulum bob retains original design and lacquer intact.  Generally an uncommon clock with some small restoration items that a Howard connoisseur can deal with.  Ht 60"   $14,000--$18,000

355.  C.1870, Austrian, J. Weber, in Wien, 3-Wt Grand Sonnerie, Vienna Regulator, in a light walnut Neo Gothic case {with lines similar to Seth Thomas No.4}.   Condition:  there are some minor nicks and scrapes to the case, and some small trim repairs, but generally it is excellent, with original stabilizers, finials and trims intact.  There is a key lock door, with key.  Well made 3 train movement is a slide mount, still with night shut off lever intact.  Fancy pulleys are wonderful.   There has been a small shim added under the pendulum hanger to allow it to clear the case back on a not-so-plumb wall {can be easily removed}.  There are various hairlines in the chapter ring of the dial, and a chip at the center hole, dial signature still good; weights with some dings.  Overall very good original condition.  Ht 55"   $2750--$3750

356.  C.1920, E. Howard & Co., Boston, No. 95 Banjo, Willard style, 8-day weight driven.   Condition:   Aficionados will notice the similarity to Waltham models from the same period.  Note the nickel plated movement has maintaining power, and a Geneva stop, and mounts to the inside of the case in a fashion similar to the Waltham, with machine screws into brass tabs that are secured to the case back {movement is properly signed}.  Someone has the weight cord on the outside of the lower left pillar, which will not affect the operation and can easily be changed next time it is cleaned.  Position of the Geneva stop is critical when you set the clock up, as it needs to stop the weight before contact with the movement, and also to allow for enough travel for a weeks running; it has a simple friction clutch. The original weight on this clock is cast lead, with no number, and with a center bolt hole for securing it to the case back.  Original marine tablet has some minor touch up in the cloud section to the right of the ship.  Original signed dial is xlnt. An uncommon clock. Ht 40"   $3000--$3500

357.  C.1875, Austrian, L. Petrzyk in Wien, Grand Sonnerie,  3-weight Vienna Regulator in a fine Gothic style case with light oak veneer.   Condition:  there are some minor losses, one side tip to center finial and so on, but nothing that is obvious without concentrated examination.  If you have Steve Nelson's catalog from Auction #4 in 2002, you will find a Petrzyk clock with nearly identical movement, double pin spanner instead of center impulse pin, free standing gong support and other refinements.  The night-silent lever is still intact.  Original silvered beat scale is in bottom of case.  Note signature on dial is weak, but is definitely Petrzyk.  Minute hand has been carefully copied, not quite as delicate as it should be.  Ht 48.5"   $5000--$8000

358.  C.1878, Ithaca Calendar Clock Co., No. 3 1/2 Parlor, with black dial, and 2-piece rear dust cover, 8-day time and strike.  Condition:  Overall very good to excellent condition, some restoration to the top carving well done dial re-papered.  Lower rear cover has separated and been repaired with old oil cloth tape.  Minor dry split in walnut front lower door, original cut glass pendulum is near perfect.  Roller covers are original; movements clean and operating.  Case finish is original.  A nice example of the Parlor 3 1/2.  For additional details, see Tran Ly's treatise on Calendar Clocks {1993}, pages 132—135, outlining all of the variations in this model.  Ht 20.5"   $3000--$3500

359.  C.1900, French, for Tiffany & Co, NY [signed on mov't], White Marble & Ormolu LYRE clock with swinging brilliants pendulum.   Condition:  there has been a chip filled in on the dial, and the wreath painted back in to match.  It is a good repair, but visible on close inspection.  The well made bell strike movement is signed as in headline, and complete with all parts of the compound pendulum, grid, brilliants and counter poise.  Ht 17"  $2750--$3750

360.  C.1870, English, Single Fusee Timepiece, in a mahogany case with integral carved bracket.   Condition:   The well made case has been nicely refinished.  The movement now with cable instead of chain to transmit the power from the spring barrel to the fusee.  There is a primitive date applied to the rear plate in the year 1878.  The original painted dial is flaking and the original retailer's name "Mouland" is just legible. Dial diameter is 7.5"  overall ht including bracket = 20"  $500--$700

361.  C.1850, French, Pons, Bronze & Sienna Marble, bust of DEMOSTHENES, 8-Day, time and bell strike, silk thread suspension.   Condition:  there is some edge roughness to the marble and the odd corner chip, but overall very good condition.  The bust and all bronze moldings retain excellent patina.  The movement is signed with Pons gold medal medallion for year 1827.  There is no pendulum for this clock.  Ht 21"   $1000--$1500

362.  C.1840, L & F Andrews OG, with a Spencer, Hotchkiss & Co,  Salem Bridge movement that has always been in the case.   Condition:  in our best judgment someone came into Andrews shop and ordered an 8 day clock and they obliged by ordering the latest 8 day movement for installation into a wooden works case.  There has never been any other movement nor dial on this case.  The grooves for the top mount pulleys were modified a bit to allow for the different geometry of the Salem Bridge movement.  The mirror is new and easy to replace.  A couple of veneer chips on outer edge, but overall very good.  An interesting bit of Americana that will appeal to the collector with confidence to buy something out of the ordinary.  Ht 28.5"  $600--$900

363.  C.1885, Ansonia Clock Co., FISHER SWING clock, with regular 4" canister {see lot 366 for small canister}.   Condition:  this clock is in good+ condition, some discoloration on the statue, and the "fish" have been repainted.  Movement is clean and seems to run fine. A nice example of this model.  Ht 23.25"   $2000--$2500

364.  C.1873, E. Howard & Co., Boston, Custom Gallery clock made on special order for the Old Colony Railroad.   Condition:  this clock is in remarkable condition, and retains its original eagle.  Some restoration occurred because the eagle had been painted in the train station, and stripping revealed that it had been gilded originally.  The owner found a gilder who matched the color of the original gilding on the bezel, down to some imperfections to add to the antique appearance.  The clock was up and running when we took the detail fotos, however we have since removed the weight for safer transport of the clock.  The movement is signed with proper Howard imprint and with the numbers 2 4 and 73, which is very likely 1873, the height of the success of the Old Colony.  For details on this railroad, see article by D. O'Hanley & Geo. Kenson, posted on the internet, several pages, the intro of which reads:  "In an age mercifully innocent of environmental studies, suburban sopping plazas, and the universal motorcar, the only thinkable means of overland transit was via the Old Colony Railroad, which linked Boston with distant points in southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island.  This legendary carrier was one of the best managed of all US railroads and a veritable bonanza for its stockholders "  The 20 inch wooden dial is original and though with a slight warp, has no cracks nor chips, RR name is 100% original; the "& Co" after Howard are poorly touched up.  Hands, weights and case hardware are original; pulleys replaced.  The Geneva stop and main arbor reinforcement are also absent, but do not affect the operation.  Ht 36.5"  $7000--$9000

365.  C.1875, French, Lyre Clock, pendulum over movement, 8-day bell strike, a pair of bronze angels holding the support for the pendulum.   Condition:  The pendulum, although old, probably did not come with this clock.  The well made bell strike movement is in good condition.  The porcelain dial is signed Puthon-Laine', Paris, and is in virtually perfect condition.  The original bright yellow fire gilding is exceptional.  Movement is signed simply 'Paris'. Glass in rear dust cover is cracked.  See this model pictured in Catalogo de Relojes del Patriminio Nacional   Page 300, fig 286.  $4000--$5000

366.  C.1885, Ansonia Clock Co., FISHER SWING clock, with small 3" canister {hard to find}.   Condition:  this clock is in excellent original condition; arm retains original paper dial, and original hands.  Movement is clean and seems to run fine.

367.  C.1830, French, Ormolu Figural Clock with Dome, Putti with Butterfly, 8-day time and bell strike, with silk thread suspension.   Condition:  most of the gilding is still intact and bright, some spots are rubbed to brass.  Another nice theme showing a handsome putti reaching out to a butterfly alight on a rose bud.  On the left side of the case, ribbons holding a quiver and a wreath.  The well made movement bearing number 6973, and the initials PD, and with matching number on pendulum.  Ht 14"   $1000--$1500

368.  C.1896, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "LINCOLN", 2-Weight, gong strike shelf clock  in walnut.   Condition: Excellent.  If you are looking for a nice Lincoln, this could be the one; original finish, dial, weights and pendulum.  The dial does have a fingernail flake at 5 and a couple of other small imperfections, but is extraordinary for a Seth Thomas.  For additional information on this model, see Tran Ly's book on Seth Thomas, 3rd Edition {2004}, Volume 2, page 729.  Ht 27"  $1500--$1800

369.  C.1880, German, H. Endler & Co., Vienna Regulator, carved oak case with canted corners, single weight timepiece.   Condition:  the well carved oak case was refinished some time ago, to a warm honey color.  All of the finials and moldings on this clock have extra nice 3-dimensional detail.  The well made single weight movement has maintaining power, a brass slide mount and a prominent imprint in the rear plate, "H-E Schutz Marke", in a horse-shoe shape.  The company was in Freiburg, an affiliate of Gustav Becker, and the movement is identical to a Becker of the same period.  The porcelain dial is perfect, and with original hands and seconds bit.  About as impressive as an oak Vienna can get.  Ht 52"   $1500--$2000

370.  C.1880, Ansonia Clock Co., FISHER & FALCONER SWING, 8-day patinated spelter, with original canister swinging arm and original dial.   Condition:  the statues and base have been professionally refinished by Charles Carrick and are bronze in color, and quite stunning in appearance.  The arm itself is in excellent original condition, with original paper dial.  For additional details on this model, see Tran Ly's book titled ANSONIA CLOCKS & WATCHES page 706, figure 3009.  Ly current price guide is $4500.  Ht 27"   $3250--$4250

371.  C.1875, Austrian, 2-Wt Dwarf, Carved Serpentine case, 8-day gong striking [short case & pendulum with full 7 inch dial].   Condition:  the nicely proportioned case has been refinished {looks ok}.  the well made slide mount movement is all original, with nice 5 point star finials.  Key lock door with key intact.  Nice pendulum with no dents.  Overall excellent condition.  Ht  38.5"   $1500--$2000

371A.  C.1901, Ansonia Clock Co., GLORIA BALL SWING, 8-Day mystery swinging timepiece, the movement contained within the ball of the arm.   Condition:  two minor points affect this clock: top loop on ribbon trim got knocked off, and the bottom of the lower ball was re-painted.  Otherwise, this clock is in excellent original condition, with the MOST original statue we have seen in a decade.  The statue is really fine with no repairs nor restorations.  The owner did provide a proper replica top trim ribbon that you can install, or leave as is.  Ticks fine, but has been standing for some time and may need cleaning.  Ht 28"   $3000--$3500

372.  C.1890, French, Striking Swing Clock, 8-day bell strike movement on an Art Nouveau statue with original finish.   Condition:   the balls on the arm have been restored to a dark green color; well done and with a couple of minor scratches to the finish.  The movement within is clean and running, has countwheel to control the strike.  The statue is just the way a collector would like to find it, the multi color finish with wear and oxidation on all the high spots, but the balance looking wonderful.  The statue with a silvered brass plaque that reads "Fleur des Pres, par Aug. Moreau".  Ht 29"  $4000--$6000

373.  C.1875, Ithaca Calendar Clock Co., Index, Variant, Large in walnut, 8-day, time and bell strike.   Condition:  the case has been nicely restored and the movement cleaned, and the clock appears to be in good operating order. The incising has been filled with gold paint and the workman went out of his lines in some places.  This model is illustrated in Miller's Survey of American Clocks, Calendar Clocks. {1972}, page 51, figure 138. There are some minor differences in the top trim on the 2 clocks, and based on our experience with this model, the one in the book has its top incorrectly restored.  Our clock has had the 2 top side returns and 2 caps replaced; the glass with some scratches on the gilt "INDEX"; minute hand is replaced {looks ok}. Typical of many Index models, the lower dial states: Manufactured for Lynch Brothers.  Ht 32.25"  $1750--$2250

374.  C.1895, Seth Thomas, Regulator No. 2, single weight, 8-day timepiece in oak.   Condition:   this clock has been in storage for some time, and the bob has discolored in a blotchy way {will buff out OK}; original weight is oxidized and will polish up Ok as well.  The original dial is remarkable for a Seth Thomas, just some flaking inside the seconds circle.  Case finish is original and good, two small holes in the lower edge of the door belie a missing number or name plaque, and the finish is slightly lighter in that area.  Overall a good example of this model.  See also lot 472. Ht 36"   $1,500--$2,000

375.  C.1885, Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Ct, Regulator No. 3, Strike, 2-weight, 8-day, in well figured mahogany.   Condition:  this striker is a hard model to find, and in this nice condition, even harder.  The veneer is in good condition with original finish intact.  Has a nice embossed and silvered beat scale in the case; bottom of case never broken out.  Two brass sheathed weights are visible right and left during descent; strike weight is slightly larger.  There is some flaking on the dial, near 1, 3 and 7, but about as good as you can expect for a Seth Thomas of this age. For details on the No. 3, see Ly's 3rd Edition {2004} Seth Thomas book, pages 279-281.  Note this movement has lantern pinions, retaining power and seventy-six beats to the minute.  Full label in case bottom is now missing most of its gold printing. Ht 44"   $4000--$5000

376.  C.1828, Jeromes & Darrow, early transitional shelf clock with twisted mahogany columns, jester top and 4 turned feet.   Condition:   original 30 hour short drop movement is complete and sound.  Great original dial, hands, label, etc; orig tablet with flaking & some restoration.  All 3 carved pineapple finials are original.  The case with  a handwritten "14" penned on the top {appears original}  Ht 33"  $2000--$3000

378.  C.1890, French, Automaton Clock, gilt spelter with a secondary movement, tripped by the clocks strike train, that advances a carousel below on the hour and half hour.   Condition:  Overall very good condition, with 5 original {and replaceable} cards for the carousel, these 5 include scenes from: Rome, Greece, Niagara Falls, New England and a Sailing Brig.  Would likely have been sold as a nice wedding gift and the happy couple could choose cards that reflected their honeymoon trip.  Note the cherubs at the sides are pulling the 'curtains" open to reveal the scene behind.  Ht 16.5"   $2500--$3000

379.  C.1878, Welch, Spring & Co., Regulator No. 1, 8-day, 2-weight time in rosewood.   Condition:  the case was refinished long ago and has a pleasant appearance.  The dial and hands are original; note tail to seconds hand is missing; clock runs OK, but would benefit from a tail on the hand.  When this clock was donated to the American Clock & Watch Museum 30 years ago, it was absent the 5 outboard finials, and the restorer did not have originals to copy.  Although they don’t look bad, you should re-make them to proper profile.  Original beat scale in bottom of case and original flocking on rear of case, and original pendulum.  Bottom bracket is loose, a simple repair.  For details on this model, see Ly's 1992 book on Welch clocks, pages 90-91 {note a new Edition is forthcoming} .  This clock was de-accessioned from the museum in December of 2005, because it was a duplicate; proceeds will go into the museum acquisition fund.  Ht 68"  $5,000--$10,000

379A.  C.1878, Welch, Spring & Co., Regulator No. 5, 8-day, 2-weight time in walnut.  Condition:  Refinished walnut case is in very fine condition.  Outer 5 finials are newly turned; rest original.  The top 2 finials are turned with the cup in the wrong direction; supposed to be cupped down…however fotos are shown in Tran Duy Lys book titled WELCH CLOCKS, {1992} page 98-99, and you can re-turn them properly.  Movement, dial and pendulum are original and fine {only some very minor flaking on the dial, and couple of small dents in pendulum}.  Hands appear to be old and have been on the clock a long time; you could possibly find a pierced pair on a small school clock.  We sold the cousin to this clock in October 2005 lot 411 for $8960.  Has original brass sheathed weights.  Door lock missing.  Ht 52"  $5000--$7000

380.  C.1900, Ansonia Clock Co., "DIANA BALL SWING"  8-day timepiece on a patinated spelter statue, the movement contained within the top ball.   Condition:  Maybe 40 years ago someone's wife wanted this a dark bronze color instead of the original gold, and the husband dutifully painted it metallic bronze.  Now there are some chips here and there which reveal the original color; leave as is or remove the paint carefully.  The statue is sound with no breaks nor repairs, and the "clock arm" is original in every respect.  Overall a very nice example of this model.  Ht 30"  $4000--$5000

381.  C.1890, American Cherry Cased Jeweler's clock, with Swiss pinwheel movement and center seconds hand.  Condition:  this clock had been in storage when it came to us and we had to give it a good dusting.  The set clutch for the hands is in a bind {reduce tension and add lube} and the verge is off to one side and not 'scaping at the moment; the pinwheel and balance of the movement are intact.  The dial has been replaced by a porcelain one that Phil Tuseth had made in the late 1970's in Austria; you will note it has no flaws.  The heavy lyre pendulum is in good condition, with only minor edge nicks.  The case is well made, separates into 2 pieces; bolts together in the center.  Big and impressive.  Ht 100"   $5000--$7500

382.  C.1904, Ansonia Clock Co., Royal Bonn, "LA CERDA", porcelain china clock with hand painted portrait of Mandolin player, open escapement, 8-day striking.   Condition:  this is a one-family clock sent here air express from Florida.  The porcelain dial has hairlines at 4+6 and a small one in the center, otherwise this is an immaculate original clock with great 24K decorations.  This portrait model listed for $60 when new, while the regular floral LaCerda listed for $30 {still a Lot of money at the time}, and for additional comparison, a LaCruz was only $9.25.  For more details on this and other porcelain models, see Tran Duy Ly's book on Ansonia clocks, [1998], page 632.  Color is dark burgundy.  See also lot 496.  Ht 15"   $1250--$1750

383.  C.1825, English, 2-Fusee, Regency Bracket clock, in a well styled rosewood case with side brass grills, and brass bun feet.   Condition:   Painted round dial has some flaking; hands are original; brass inlay on case is intact, and all carved trim is intact.  The robust movement with rectangular plates, and now with cable on the fusees, is ticking and striking.  Pendulum is original.  A decent clock approaching its 200th birthday.  Ht 19"   $1500--$2000

384.  C.1860, French, L'Elephant, Bronze & Ormolu mantel clock, the clock and cupid surmounted above the elephants back.  Condition:  Cupid's bow is missing, and his arrow has been repaired.  Otherwise this clock is in excellent condition, with great signet dial, super gilt base and a well made movement, 8-day bell strike.  We sold the cousin to this clock in May of 2004, the cover lot for $7500.  Ht 22.5"   $6000--$8000

385.  C.1880, Seth Thomas, Regulator No. 1, in a rosewood case, and with round movement and front hung pendulum.   Condition:   although the dial has been restored over the original surface and bare spots filled in, the Dial House could improve this dial for $150, also the holes in the dial have been enlarged for some reason, although it is original to the case.  The balance of the clock, tablet, veneer, pendulum and weight are in original good+ condition; some minor veneer abrasions and edge wear commensurate with the age of the clock.  Best part is a nice original ST label and a great retailers label from The American Clock Co.,581 Broadway, NY.  For additional details on this model, see Tran Ly's book on Seth Thomas Clocks & Movements, 3rd edition, page 271.  This movement was designed by S.B.Terry for Seth Thomas.  Ht 34"   $1400--$1800

386.  C.1850, French, Ormolu Figural Clock HERCULES, 8-day, time and bell strike.   Condition:  the movement would benefit from service.  The dial has loss of porcelain neat 10, below 6 and at the winding holes; the minute hand is incorrect.  The case is very good with much of the original gilding intact, Hercules' garment well chased with fine detail, and his facial features outstanding   For an example of this clock, see FRENCH BRONZE CLOCKS,  {Schiffer, 1999}, FIGURE #89.  Hercules is the most famous hero of antiquity, here depicted in a contemplative mood.   "All elements point toward the heroic deeds which Hercules has already performed:  the lion's skin, which is draped around the muscular body, is from the Nemean lion, which he killed with his bare hands.  In his left hand he holds one of the golden apples of the Hesperides, which he collected with great difficulty"  {words complements of  E. Niehüser, from book above} Ht 19"   $3500--$4500

387.  C.1850, George Hills, Plainville, Conn, reverse OG, fusee timepiece in a mahogany veneer case.  Condition:  the crotch mahogany veneer is well figured, refinished some time ago.  The mirror is a replacement.  The top tablet has applied gold leaf on the reverse, while the originals were simply mirror, with a round opening for the dial.  The heavy and robust fusee movement has a unique lever escapement.  The dial is original, with some flaking, and a strong signature.  Minute hand tip is broken away; F/S pointer is absent.  This was clock #69 in the original batch of clocks given to Old Sturbridge Village by Cheney Wells, and with a brass plaque inside the case.  For additional details on a similar clock, see Tran Duy Ly's book titled American Clocks, Volume Three, page 121.  A nice example of an uncommon clock.   Ht 36"  $800--$1200

388.  C.1890, French, Pepauvre, Portico Clock in the style of a century earlier, 8-day time and bell strike.  Condition:  Overall excellent, all the ormolu is in great shape with bright gilding..  Well made round movement with sunburst pendulum appears to be in good running order.  Movement with Vincenti Award medallion.  Ht 14"   $600--$900

389.  C.1895, Boston Clock Co., Boston, Pendulum No. 1, time only wall regulator, weight driven.   Condition:  The "bowtie" below the dial has been replaced.  Although the walnut case has been refinished and the tablet replaced, the original dial, movement, pendulum and weight are fine.  The dial is in exceptional condition with original signature.  Chelsea collectors will notice that the movement is virtually identical to their version of this clock, with fancy spoked hour wheel.  Serial number is 679.  A clean example of a very hard to find model.  Ht 38"  $1250--$1750

390.  C.1850, French, Raingo Freres, Bronze & marble  FLOWER GIRL, 8-day time and bell strike mantel clock.   Condition:   the ormolu trim on the base has been re-gilded.  There are some minor edge scrapes on the marble, but overall very good.  Good porcelain dial; hands, though old are from another clock. Ht 19"  $2500--$3000

391.  C.1820, Seth Thomas, Off Center Pillar & Scroll, 30 hour wood works, in a mahogany case with original scrolls and feet, from J. Cheney Wells collection.   Condition:  there is a veneer chip by the keyhole escutcheon, and the tablet is properly replaced.  The hands are modern, but proper style lead hands.  The finials are original {one large center and 2 smaller side finials}.  The original dial is outstanding, with only a couple of minute markers worn.  Label has some stains, but is still excellent+.  The original finish on the case was rubbed down around 1957 when it was given to Old Sturbridge Village, and since has acquired nice crazing & patina; tiny tips on the skirt are missing.  Original wood strap movement is intact, except that the fly has been replaced.  Original lead weights and pulleys are xlnt.  A good clock with good provenance.  Except for the repainted tablet, this is as good & complete an off center as you are likely to find.  Ht 30"  $4000--$5000

392.  C.1890, French for Tiffany & Co., Bronze & Marble NIGHT & DAY, 8-Day bell strike, variegated white and light violet marble.   Condition:  except for a small chip in the marble on the left side, the case is in excellent condition.  These bronze figures are copies of those at the tomb of Leonardo de Medici in Florence.  The dial is signed Tiffany & Co., and with polychrome decorations.  Below the bronze figures are ormolu horns of plenty and in the very base, friezes with cherubs.  Ht 18.5"   $3500--$4500

393.  C.1822, Seth Thomas, Pillar & Scroll, 30 hour wood works, with early label that does NOT credit Eli Terry with his patents; after 1824 or so Thomas changed his labels, and the suit was finally settled in 1827.   Condition:  the feet and scrolls are original; the case has been refinished and there is some repair around the escutcheon, which has been replaced.  The Seth Thomas movement is original, but has a new escape wheel, and 3 visible nylon bushings.  The dial is original with some horizontal stress and flaking.  The best part of this clock is the original tablet, which has had minor repair, but is one of the nicest original tablets around.  This very clock was used by C. Bailey as the cover on the Bulletin of the Connecticut Historical Society in 1973, in an article titled "160 Years of Seth Thomas Clocks".  This clock bears its brass plaque, as clock #62 of the original J. Cheney Wells collection.  Although the finials are Terry type, rather than Seth Thomas, they are 3 matched period finials.  Roller covers intact. Ht 31"  $1500--$2000

394.  C.1820, French, LeRoy & Fils {sons}, Horologers Du Roi, Paris, JASON STEALS THE GOLDEN FLEECE FROM KING AIETES, 8-Day, bell strike, silk suspension.   Condition:  the case is in very good condition, with most of the original fire gilding remaining.  The movement has not been serviced in some time, and has some pitting, however the maker name is clearly & artfully engraved into the backplate, plus "No. 463".  There is no pendulum with this clock.   See the cousin to this clock in the Catalogo de Relojes del Patriminio Nacional   Page 239 {we highly recommend this hard to find book if you enjoy figural clocks}.  Also see this clock in FRENCH BRONZE CLOCKS, {Schiffer, 1999), page 64, where E. Niehüser writes:  "Aietes, the son of the Sun god, is king of the Kolchis, where the golden fleece is housed.  It is the skin of a golden ram, and it is the goal of the Argonauts and their leader Jason to capture the fleece" .. and with it to claim his place in history.  Many more stories of Jason and the Argonauts can be found on the internet. The firm LeRoy & Fils was in business for well over a century, and this is certainly a period piece.  G.H. Baille puts the first  firm of Leroy & Fils as 1817—1824.  A rare and desirable clock.  Ht  25"    $5000--$8000

395.  C.1800, Atrributed to John Winkley, Canterbury, NH, Mass Style Shelf clock, 3.5 day duration, with instruction label reminding the owner exactly when to wind the clock {typically Shaker}.   Condition:  Overall excellent condition, original movement, dial, hands weight and hardware.  The finish has been cleaned and a bit dull, but has been there a long time.  There is a similar clock in the Henry Ford Museum {see Distin & Bishop, page 92, fig 186}.  Best part of this clock is the original instruction paper which states: "Wind up this clock on Monday morning, and Thursday afternoon", carefully penned in early script.  Weight tie off is modern {easy to change}. Ht 26"   $8,000--$12,000

396.  C.1820, French, Bronze with Ormolu & Marble Figural clock,, AMOR TRIES TO STOP AURORA, 8-day time and bell strike, silk suspension.   Condition:  overall very good restored condition, the ormolu parts re-gilded maybe 20 years ago.  There is a blank hole in the cherubs right hand that probably held a gilt bow [his quiver of arrows is intact].  However, a similar example of this clock, showing in FRENCH BRONZE CLOCKS, {Schiffer, 1999), page 59, explains that Amor has dropped his weapons, so we are unsure.  E. Niehüser writes "Aorora, the morning red, is the biggest adversary of Amor, who is most active at night.  She stops the darkness by pulling the cloak from the world.  Vehemently, Amor tries to stop her from going forward".  Another example in dark bronze, shows on page 124 of the same book.  The movement has not been serviced in some time and lacks a pendulum.  Ht  22.7"   $4000--$5000

397.  C.1742, English, John Penlington, Ince, brass dial, rolling moon, quarter chime, mahogany tall clock.   Condition:  the 8-day movement is a Victorian conversion to quarter chime, moving the time train to the center and adding the pin drum, bell standard and associated parts to the right side of the movement.  We believe the calendar ring may be a too wide replacement, as the 31 teeth are in conflict with both outside winding arbors.  The Liverpool area case is typical of the northwest of England,  there is a blind fret above the door, great 3 dimensional carved roses in the tips of the arches, and with dentil molding just under the hood.  Fluted quarter columns on the trunk, full fluted columns on the hood.   Has a nice moon dial, silvered and engraved with painted stars in the night sky.  The composite dial with cast urn & eagle spandrels, the makers name engraved in the arch over the moon.  A later and spurious engraved plaque inside the door indicates the clock was once in the Deans study in Westminster Abbey, last standing in Chester, England.  Finials are 20th century; originals probably wood. The door reinforced from the rear to cure a warp; top door glass is cracked.  Ht  94"   $2750--$3750

398.  C.1760, LePaute, {Jean André}, Paris, 8-day, crown/verge, countwheel strike, mahogany over oak carcass bracket clock..  Condition - Refinished mahogany case in generally clean condition, corners are rounded from sanding, and some joint separation; although there is restoration to the case, most of it appears as old as the movement..  Silk thread suspension brass movement is signed "Gudin Lejeune" whose full name was Paul Gudin Lejeune {died 1755}. Gudin shows as the cousin of Jean Baptiste Lejeune, who was half brother of Jean Andre LePaute. The two Jeans entered a partnership of clock making in Paris around 1748.  I don't know French horology that well, and these bits we garnered off the internet. Should we attribute the clock to Lejeune the movement maker, or LePaute who probably sold it at the time? The seven inch porcelain dial has a chip glued in at 12, where someone put in an F/S key that was too large for the hole; heavy cast brass bezel is hinged on the left.  Gilt brass hands are original.  Movement appears sound, but dark and in need of service. Old silk thread pendulum works but is a bit simple for this case.  Ht 17"   $3,000--$4,000

399.  C.1895, Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Co., "Regulator No. 11", 2-weight wall timepiece in oak.   Condition:   Really in great original condition with great finish with finely crazed patina, the original paper dial has darkened with age, and still with good script signature intact.  For details on this clock, refer to Tran Ly's book titled GILBERT CLOCKS, page 136, where a foto of both the clock and the unique movement appear. {both weights wind onto a single central barrel}.  For an Eastlake style case, this is about as pretty as a clock comes, and rarely found in untouched condition.  Ht 50"  $2500--$3500

400.  C.1900, Ansonia Clock Co., "BAGDAD" wall regulator in oak, 2-weight timepiece.   Condition:  the case was attractively refinished some time ago and with nice patina.  The porcelain dial is perfect, only the left brass winding grommet is missing.  A couple minor dents along the ring of the bob. The weight driven version of this model is always the most sought after.  For details on this clock, see Tran Ly's book on Ansonia, page 182 & 183.  ht 50.5"   $2200--$2600

401.  C.1970, German, Lenzkirch, Regulator No. 321, Hunting Motif wall clock, profusely carved with deer head, pheasant, rabbit, percussion rifle, powder horns, mini ball {bullet} holders, bow, arrows and quiver.   Condition:  there are some losses: the carved oak leaves that go at the top of the door are absent; the bottom board of the main case has been replaced; deer head is a replacement [you can find a better one from an old Cuckoo].  The movement, serial number 643242, carries proper Lenzkirch logo.  This model is pictured in the Lenzkirch catalog reprint published by the American Clock & Watch Museum, page 72.  Despite some losses, overall very good condition.  Ht 51"   $4000--$6000

402.  C.1840, Austrian, Mini Vienna Regulator,  Single weight, 1-day, in a grained case.  Pendulum works fine, but is not original.  Unusual small pulley intact.  Weight is nice with no dents. One piece porcelain dial is excellent.    Ht 19"   $1500--$2000

403.  C.1890, German, Mini Spring R-A Wall clock, Black Forest, bird & leaf motif, Week duration;   Condition:  there are minor abrasions to the edge of the leaves and to the bird, but still overall very good to excellent. Ht 13.5"   $1500--$1800

404.  C.1840, French, Pons, Bronze Figural Clock, DIANA, HUNTING,  8-day bell strike with engine turned bezel [rotate to remove both front and rear bezels].   Condition:  the very bottom block of dark red marble is separated from the main case [simple glue joint].  Movement lacks a pendulum.  The original patinated black finish in the bronze is excellent.  Note that Diana was the Roman God of Hunting, and homage to her was necessary to assure success on the hunt.  Her image as a huntress was unexcelled.  The well made movement is signed Pons.  Note this was originally a silk thread suspension, and someone has added a spring block to the bridge, for a more modern pendulum.  One can easily put it back to original, or leave it as is.  Ht 28.5"   $2750--$3750

405.  C.1865, Austrian, 2-Wt  Vienna Regulator, 8-day, in a dark case of transitional style, seat board mount for movement.   Condition:  Overall very good original condition, the porcelain dial with only a single hairline near 8; original hands with tail to minute hand missing.  Original 5 point star pulleys are exceptional.  This clock has been in storage, and the movement still with old gut in place; well made Viennese movement will clean up nicely.  Nice smooth pendulum with no dents.  Original integral top has a horizontal glue repair that looks OK.  Ht 46"    $800--$1200

406.  C.1900  English, 8-day advertising wall timepiece "Black & Gold, the Aristocrat of Whiskies".  Condition - Mahogany bezel case in nice condition with original finish.  The advertising plaque attached to the bottom of the case has had a small repair to the upper left corner {just where it attaches to the main case}.  The plaque with "the Aristocrat of Whiskies" is 100 years old, as is the dial, however, the name "Black & Gold" has been added more recently.  The case back had failed at some point and been replaced, nicely done; the case has warped a small amount keeping the bottom access door from opening.  Bezel latch missing.  Case houses a spring drive brass movement.  Ht 22"  Width of ad = 23.2"  Really has a lot of "Look"  $225--$325

407.  C.1861 {Dated}, French, White Marble & Ormolu Figural Clock EAGLE with SNAKE, 8-Day bell strike, presentation clock with glass dome.   Condition:  really remarkable that this has survived in such nice condition, and a testimony to the beautiful clock coming out of France at the time of our Civil War.  The presentation plaque reads to T. C. Mills on his retirement from the London Railway in July 1861.  Although the movement has not been serviced in some time, it is complete and sound, with Japy Freres gold award medallion..  Ht of clock only = 15" to eagle,  ht of dome, base and clock = 25.5" Width of dome = 24.5"  $3000--$5000

408.  C.1910, German, Winterhalder & Hofmeier, 3-Fusee, 8-Bell, quarter chiming bracket clock in old oak.   Condition:  the nice Edwardian case retains original finish, finials and side frets. The key lock front door is without key.  The square brass dial has winged cherub spandrels at all corners.  The gilding on the mat center is weak, and the engraved & silvered chapter ring has some oxidation and loss of silvering.  Retains nice original tulip hands.  Note the case has shrunk a bit and the front door comes a couple of millimeters from closing; you may need to relocate the hinges a small amount.  The clock is running and chiming Whittington tune robustly.  Ht 20.5"   $2000--$3000

409.  C.1860, Bradley & Hubbard, CONTINENTAL, iron cased blinking eye clock, with brass lever, 30 hour movement.   Condition:  this clock is in excellent original condition including both dial and paint.  The paint scheme is a bit odd, with a gold face, however there is age crazing on all the paint, and it has surely been there a century or more.  One of the nicer blinkers we have handled.  For reference, see Distin & Bishop The American Clock, page 201, fig 469. See also lot 255.  Maker's name clearly cast into base.  Ht 16.7"  $2000--$2500

410.  C.1880, French, "Clock in Globe", conventional lever 'scape movement secured into the terrestrial globe with 4 thumb screws with rosette heads.   Condition:  the globe has some losses, maybe 5% to the paper cover, here and there.  The clock is positioned in the center of the Pacific Ocean, and although Hawaii is not visible, most of the rest of the islands and continents are there; nomenclature is in English.  The marble base has a bronze footing and 4 feet, from which rise 4 fluted columns, surmounted by a plate that positions the top of the globe and topped by a small Aneroid barometer, labeled simply 'Paris'.  Meant for a desk, one rotates the globe to display the time to a guest.  Ht 15.5"   $2000--$2500

411.  C.1890, An American Pinwheel Regulator, center sweep, in a walnut case with glass sides and an Eastlake style top.   Condition:   the case has been refinished; the carved top may have been added 100 years ago to help the clock match other furniture in the shop or house, as it is not of the same construction as the basic case.  The movement seems clean and ticks fine.  The porcelain dial is perfect.  All 3 hands are original, except the hour hand has had a new tip soldered on long ago; the repair is visible from the reverse.  Has an interesting grid pendulum, on which the bob & rating assembly is removable from the bottom of the grid , and the grid is removable from the pendulum leader.  The brass sheathed weight needs a better hook and a brass top trim also.  Ht 84"   $2000--$3000

412.  C.1935, German, Karl Griesbaum & Co., WHISTLER,  Man in Brown coat and bowler.   Condition:  Generally good+ condition, the whistling movement is intact and working, however the bellows have some small leaks and the volume is a little weak.   A nice example.  Ht 13.85", 35cm.  $600--$800

413.  C.1970, German, Karl Griesbaum & Co., BASEBALL PLAYER whistling the tune "Take Me Out to the Ball Park", with original key and Griesbaum sticker.   Condition:  This guy has received good care over the years and is in very nice condition, only minor wear along the bill of his hat.  His bellows are still good, a couple of notes are a little flat, but the tune is still instantly recognizable.  They more recently made a battery version, but this one is all mechanical.  Ht 15", 38cm.  $2000--$2500

413A.  C.1970, Swiss, Sterling Silver Singing bird box, an oval embossed case surrounded with winged cherubs and big curling fronds as feet.  Condition:  excellent original condition, playing loudly and briskly, the colorful bird very animated, also with original silver plated key.  The box is marked with sterling logo and .925.  Width  of box 4.7", height 2.5"  $1800--$2200

414.  C.1760, Swiss, Neuchatel Bracket clock, 8-day, crown verge, in the style of Louis XV.   Condition:  the dark green lacquer case has some dry splits and some loose ormolu here and there, but is overall very good considering it is coming up on its 250th birthday.  The well made crown wheel movement has some nice features, including a bell shift that allows it to ring a low bell on the halves, and then drop down and ring on a small high bell for the hours.  The click springs have been repaired however the original iron clicks are still intact, and the movement is ticking and striking.  Convex/OG dial has a chip bottom margin near 5; nice gilt hands are original.  Ht 37".   $2500--$3000

This is likely a case where the son of a clock-maker found a C.1840 silk thread movement that his father had made, and decided to case it up in the style of the day.   Ht 22.75"   $1000--$1250

Jones, NY Wall Regulator, in a mahogany "Vienna" style case with glass sides, center seconds hand, eight day, weight driven.  Condition: the case has been refinished, and with new glass.  Movement, No. 189, is clean and ticking, has a sturdy Brocot escapement; the porcelain dial is very good.  Note you have to take the dial off the hang the pendulum on this clock, a bit inconvenient, but surmountable.  The Mounting bracket is on the case back slightly crooked, but we were still able to get this to tick OK.  No one is sure just where Jones got these unique movements, but they are very sturdily made.  Ht 53"   $3000--$4000

459.  C.1848, J. C. Brown, Forestville Conn, Shelf Acorn, 8-day fusee movement, clock #76 from the original J. Cheney Wells collection.  Condition:  first off, this is a pretty good clock, but you need to follow the story a bit.  At some time a kitchen clock mov't was installed and the dial winding holes enlarged for the different spacing.  At that time the spring barrels were pulled out of the fusee assembly in the bottom.  A good Samaritan found the proper movement and then made 2 spring barrels out of aluminum.  So now you have a great case with original dial and tablets, but with enlarged winding holes and aluminum "fusee" barrels {the wooden holder is still intact}.  The tablet has a new Gothic house as designed by Andrew Jackson Downing, {popular architecture for the rich after 1845}.  Retains good original label.  Screwed to the case back is a brass plaque attest to this item as clock #76 from J. Cheney Wells.  Also with a faded handwritten repair label from Fishkill, NY "C. E. Pelham, March 17, 1881" Ht 24"  $15,000--$18,000

460.  C.1825, French, Doniere & Matelin, Fabricantes de Bronzes a`Paris, rounded Gothic mantel clock, ormolu with applied figures, Winged Cherubs putting Chicks back in a nest.   Condition;  this case is still quite bright with original gilding.    The one deficiency on this clock is the broken dial, which has chips glued in place and white paint applied at 3 o'clock.  The dial is signed as in the headline.  Moon hands are original.  Well made silk thread pendulum movement bears no signature, only the single letter "L".   Ht 13"   $750--$1000

461.  C.1825, French, Empire Mantle Clock, Small, the front with scrolls and floral decorations, the cast bezel of rose buds, 8-day time and bell strike with silk thread pendulum   Condition:  most of the original gilding is intact on the case.   The movement has been idle for many years, but is complete and sound, will tick and strike with encouragement.  The pendulum and movement with matching numbers = 1281.  Cute size, ht 9"   $750--$1000

462.  C.1850, French, Bailly, a` Dijon, Comptoise Tall Clock, in a provincial case with painted decorations, 8-day 2-weight, gong strike.   Condition:   this clock has been standing idle for some time, and the cable has deteriorated and will need replacing before operation.  The porcelain dial has damage near 11, filled in with white paint {looks OK}.  The full inscription on the dial is:  "Fabrique d'horloges de Bailly, Rue du Chapeau Rouge No. 11, A` DIJON". With a lyre pendulum and two cigar shaped iron weights.   The movement has anchor escapement and "Prayer repeat" feature that strikes the hour an additional time at 2 minutes past the hour.  Ht 94"   $1250--$1750

463.  C.1900, English, Armstrongs, Manchester, Jeweler's Regulator, in a small mahogany case, 1-wt, 7-day.   Condition:  some loose veneer has been re-glued on the case.  This late Victorian case has spring-bullet latches for both top and lower door.  The 9" silvered dial has center minutes, hours below center and seconds above.  The robust movement has a conventional train layout with the hours taken off the motion work on the front plate.  The movement ticks cleanly, however there is some pitting on the steel work, and it must have lived near the beach for some time.  The pendulum needs some attention as the rating screw is too short and needs lengthening.  The bob is brass both sides and lead filled.  The brass sheathed weight appears to have been shortened to its current dimension.  An attention getting small size.  Ht 67"  $3000--$4000

464.  C.1885, French, Large Canister Swing Clock, a patinated spelter statue of MUSIC, holding aloft a large arm with porcelain dial, the well made movement with the imprint of Guilmet, and serial #1590.   Condition:   the crystal is absent from the movement, and a small dial chip at 12, otherwise it is in excellent original condition.  The statue is in wonderful original condition, a young lady with music scroll in her right hand and holding the clock aloft with her left arm, the base of the statue signed by the artist:  Kossowski.  Movement appears to be clean and is running OK.  Ht  34"  $4000--$5000

465.  C.1885, Ansonia Clock Co., HUNTRESS SWING, bronze patinated spelter statue on iron base, with canister arm.  Condition:  this clock is in very good original condition; the gilding rubbed off the components of the arm, and turned brown, and minor nicks in the black paint on the base.  With a dental mirror we were able to see that the movement is properly signed on the front plate.  A nice example of the Huntress model.  Ht 24"   $2750--$3250

466.  C.1900, Austrian, Mini Urn with Annular Dial, blue cobalt enamel over silver case, and with 6 little cameos, and a Swiss stem wind movement.  Condition:  the case is in excellent original condition, complete with swag chains and 3 little pearls in silver settings.  Movement is ticking, and annular chapter ring is still in good condition.  Ht 4.4"  $3000--$4000

467.  C.1982 {dated}, Foster S. Campos, Pembroke, Mass, miniature Howard style banjo, with 8-day key wind movement winding through the dial at 2.   Condition:   this clock was bought as a gift over 20 years ago and has been in a drawer.  It is really like new, in original Campos box.  Ht 14.2", 36cm   $400--$600

468.  C.1855, Austrian, 30-Day, late Biedermeier, Vienna Regulator, in a rosewood case, the well made movement with pie crust bezel, seconds hand and Harrison style maintaining power.   Condition:  both top return moldings have been replaced with molding from another piece of furniture, and do not quite match.  At some time, someone added a suspension point at the top rear of the case, however, it is most recently moved to the top of the mounting bracket where it belongs.  The dial is perfect; seconds and minute hand are original; old hour hand is slightly later.  Original bob is brass on both sides.  There was some type of little carved top trim that is absent.  A reminder that 30 day Viennas wind to the LEFT.   Ht 44"   $2000--$3000

469.  C.1900, Wm. L. Gilbert, VERDI Crystal Regulator,  gilt spelter with columns at the corners and surmounted by a flower filled urn.   Condition:  there has been some loss of gilding on the high spots, and some minor bubbling, but it is overall very good.  The porcelain dial has hairlines at 10 and 6.  Open escapement on dial center is good, inner brass bezel has a couple of dents.  Pendulum has one vial cracked.  8-day time and gong strike movement is complete and sound; would benefit from service.  Ht 16"   $600--$900

470.  C.1875, Southern Calendar Clock Co., St Louis, FASHION No. 4, double dial perpetual calendar, 8-day time and bell strike.   Condition:  the walnut case was refinished long ago, and with age and wax build up.  The original dials have crazing and some flaking, but are still excellent; original rollers a bit dark but legible.  The "FASHION" tablet is excellent, glass never been out of door.  The one small hurt is that all 3 finial tips have been broken off, however the finials are original, and never been off the case.  Generally a very good example of the No. 4.  Ht {as shown with short finial} Good label inside case.  31"  $1750--$2250

471.  C.1910, German, Gustav Becker, 2-Wt, rod strike Vienna Regulator, in a walnut case with grooved pilasters on the door, less top and missing a couple of small moldings.   Condition:  other than the losses mentioned above, this is a nice original clock with a perfect dial , maintaining power on the reliable movement, and a clean case with original finish.  Movement has serial number 2,147,927; Terwilliger figured a date of 1907, while Kochmann assigns a date of 1925.  It is our belief that Terwilliger was closer.  Ht 45"  $500--$700

472.  C.1900, Seth Thomas, Regulator No. 2, single weight, 8-day timepiece in oak.   Condition:   this clock reportedly came from a school maintenance office in Lowell, and has been refinished; has the brass number 6 on the door.   The original dial is quite good for a Seth Thomas, just some flaking around the seconds bit hole; and some various scratches.  Bezel is made of sectioned, quartered oak, rather than veneer and is quite attractive.  There is a little bit of veneer missing along the edge of the "bowtie".  Has a fair label still showing in the bottom of the case.  Pulley is for a banjo, proper #2 models are available from Timesavers.  The maintenance man also put the mounting bracket in with machine screws, which can be left or changed back.  See also lot 374. Ht 36"   $1400--$1800

473.  C.1895, French, Open Escapement on dial, walnut cased wall regulator, with 2-jar mercury pendulum.  Condition:  Overall very good condition, this movement appears to be a factory adaptation to this use.  For instance the porcelain dial at top says "R-A", yet there was never a hole for a f/s adjuster.  The rear plate has 3 holes for a bell standard, however there was never anything in the holes.  The dial plate is cut for 2 movement straps, but there is No way to attach straps with this bezel, nor any spare holes to show they were removed.  So we present the clock as a unique curiosity of good quality and certainly very impressive when running with the mercurial pendulum.  Movement with unique side mounting is definitely original to the case, which has worm damage in the door and top trim {some losses will need filling}.  Also 2 small circular trims missing from the top, case back warped.  Ht 35"  $400--$600

474.  C.1895, German, likely Lenzkirch, now signed L. Hainz, Prag, 8-day time and gong strike wall clock with profuse bronze decorations.   Condition:  the strike hammer is missing {replacements easily made or purchased from Timesavers};  the movement serial #915431 is virtually identical to marked Lenzkirch movements, however this clock came from Prague, and the original factory logo has been ground out, because it was not allowed at the time.  Dial feet are held on with small thumbscrews.  The dial has been polished to copper and needs re-silvering.  There are two small trim pieces lacking on each side of the top center trim.  Impressive.   Ht 37"   $1200--$1600

475.  C.1920, English, Skeleton Clock, Single Fusee, Passing Strike, on a brass inlaid base, less dome.   Condition:  The clock has stood a while without the dome and is dusty;  originally it had a chain for the fusee, and that has been replaced with stranded cable.  The nicely fretted dial has Roman numerals.  Ht of clock = 12.5", overall with base = 14"   $750--$1000

476.  C.1870, English Skeleton Clock, 2-Chain fusee, striking the hours on a bell, 8-day with glass dome.   Condition:   the clock is running and striking.  A couple of pivot holes have been re-bushed, with brass that extends beyond the frame a bit.  The original fretted and engraved dial has Roman Numeral chapters, and with moon hands.  The turned feet & rods which secure the clock to the base, pulled out of the frame at one time, and were moved farther outboard to gain new purchase.  The bottom of the frame carries an engraved and silvered plaque with the name G. Rossi, Norwich, which was probably the retailer. Has 4 spoke wheels throughout, and the motion works are nicely spoked as well, urn shaped baluster pillars.  Despite some restorations, still a decent old clock.  Ht of clock = 13" Ht with dome =  17.5"    $2500--$3500

476A.  C.1830, Austrian, Grand Sonnerie Skeleton Clock, approx 40 hour running duration, with a finely pierced dial, frame and pendulum.    Condition:   other than lacking its round glass dome, this clock is in fine original condition.  Derek Roberts, in his book Continental and American Skeleton Clocks, devotes a chapter to this type of clock, and on page 143, fig 135 is a clock that most closely approximates the fine work on this clock.  Each wheel in the train has a slightly different spoke pattern, with the escape wheel spokes in the pattern of a star.  Pillars also have a delicate pattern.   Ht 13.7", 35cm   $1500--$2000

477.  C.1890, European,  Singing Bird in Cage, key wind, the bird animated as he sings.   Condition:   the "start-stop" lever is not engaging the governor to limit playing, at it simply sings until the spring is out of energy.  The green leaves on the perch have been restored.  The feathers on the bird are dusty and with some a bit ruffled.  When you wind the cage, the whistled tune is quite melodious with lots of trills.  The volume is a bit low due to some air leakage, but it is still quite OK.  Ht 20"   $1750--$2250

478.  C.1889,  E. N. Welch Mfg Co., "Norma"  8-day time & strike mantel clock in mahogany, French sash with beveled glass.   Condition: Refinished mahogany case in extra clean condition.  Original porcelain dial has numerous hairline cracks, in chapter and center.  Hands are original.  Beveled door glass is perfect.  Note exposed escapement with jeweled pallets on Patti style movement.  Additional plusses include original rear label [almost unreadable, but there], and original retailers sticker on bottom from Riggs & Bros, Philadelphia.  For additional details on this model, see Tran Ly's book on Welch [1992], page 153.  Ht 14"   $1,500--$2,000

479.  C.1885, French, Industrial Steam Boiler clock, 8-day, timepiece, as-found.  Condition:  the original small platform movement and Aneroid barometer and complete and original to the clock.  However, someone has removed the spring motor to the automaton, and replaced it with a 110v motor, which now has failed.  The piston assembly to the left has had repairs.  However the original governor and flywheel are intact.  The bonus for this particular clock is that it has a steam stack on the right side, and if you compare it to previous models we sold as well as to models in Mystery, Novelty & Fantasy Clocks, by Derek Roberts, page 264, fig 22-26, you can see that the motor platform was designed to the left about a half inch to make room for the steam stack.  In complete, original condition this model is worth around $5000, so our estimate considers the shortcomings of this clock.  Ht 11"   $1500--$2000

480.  C.1885, French, Nautical Novelty "Grace Darling",  a desk composite that includes a compass, 2 life preservers with rope handles, a pair of oars, an anchor with chain and a thermometer, and with rope all around the edge of the oak base.   Condition:  the porcelain dials of both the clock and barometer are perfect; marked "made in Paris", the time movement with a cylinder platform.   A nice all original piece, engraved with the presentation GRACE DARLING..  Ht 11.75"   $1300--$1600

481.  C.1865, Seth Thomas Clock Co., Plymouth Hollow, Office Calendar No. 1,  8-day rosewood figure 8 case, weight driven double dial perpetual calendar.   Condition:  the case front has been refinished; case sides still with dark shellac in place; minor chips in veneer are colored in with shellac, do not show.  The dials are original, been re-blacked and over-coated with shellac; it is our belief that the Dial House could remove the shellac and reline the dial over the original base if you wanted to invest in the work.   Has proper Seth Thomas movement, weight and pendulum, and the earlier perpetual calendar mechanism.  The inside of the door retains a SUPER label, latest patent date 1862.  This is the earlier configuration case with in and out OOG side molding with trim strip along the edge, unlike the later version which is all single OG veneer.  Both style cases are pictured in Tran Ly's Seth Thomas book, 3rd Edition, volume 1 {2004}, page 90.  For the early style case, this veneer is in good condition.  Ht 40"  Ly Price $5500.   $3000--$4000

482.  C.1910, German, Junghans, ELEPHANT, Swinging Arm Clock, 8-day.   Condition:  overall very good to excellent original condition, nice patina on the elephant.  Much of the gilding is worn away from the clock arm and the bezel has turned brown.  The porcelain dial is perfect; hands original; movement complete and sound.  Ht 11"   $1000--$1250

483.  C.1895, French, A. Marionnet, Paris, Bronze figural clock, Art Nouveau, signed by the artist, and with his foundry mark as well.   Condition:  the bell strike 8-day movement seems to tick and strike fine.  The bronze case is very heavy, all cast as one piece, except for the smooth back which is screwed on.  The top of the case has Bacchus, God of Wine, his hair filled with grapes and grape vines; the sides of the case with additional vines, and a fountain below the dial with a feline face, and the water appearing to flow from its mouth.  One minor defect in the dial is a very small hole at around 12:30.  Other items we found on the internet by this artist were a figure and a small desk tray with a bird.  Ht 17.5"   $1000--$1500

484.  C. 1900, French, Oak Cased 3-Tr Bracket clock, chiming on 8 bells underneath the movement.   Condition:   The Edwardian red oak case has been refinished, has some nice style with free standing turned columns, all 4 original finials, pierced frieze on the front below the dial, and open fretwork at the rear of the top, and along the sides.  The pendulum is an old replacement.  Chimes Whittington tune on the quarter hours.  Typical of many chiming clocks made at this time, the chime movement was engineered to add on as an option, resulting in its application below, rather than beside the time movement.  This clock was retailed by J. Alford of Brighton, whose name is weak, but just legible on the dial.  Ht 24"  $1000--$1500

485.  C.1825, Norris North, Torrington, Conn, 30 hour wooden works Pillar & Scroll, with restorations.   Condition:  the original dial has been re-drilled, since at some time a kitchen clock movement was installed, and then a proper works located and the 2 newer holes filled {and expertly painted over}.  The bell is new, feet are modern with only fair veneer job, case refinished.  Wooden dial supports are new {they had been removed with the original mov't swap}.  Replaced glasses are old; tablet is a respectable re-paint.  The label is good with 1820 census figures, giving each state population, plus each county in Conn.  Finials are modern, and the profile questionable.  This clock is from Old Sturbridge Village, and their inventory number 57.1.233 shows it was acquired in 1957.  Ht 31"   $1000--$1500

485A.  C.1790, French, Quarter Striking Cartel clock, silk thread suspension with cast sunburst pendulum.   Condition:  there are some chips in the dial around the winding holes and at the left securing screw that holds the dial to the dial plate.   The stamped bell is from an American clock, but cast replacements are available.  The clock has been recently cleaned and is in good running and striking order.  This style of cartel clock was popular for well over a century, and you can see the similarity between this and lot #60, made around 1900.  Diameter of dial = 4", 10cm, height of ebonized mount = 15", 38cm  $1400--$1800

486.  C.1890, French, Double Dial, Perpetual Calendar, in a black marble case with 4 bronze Corinthian columns, and open escapement.  Condition:  the marble has several small edge chips along the top, and the corners on the bottom have been chipped off, other chips along the base, and the entire case has been painted black, with some orange peel evident.  The well made gong strike movement is complete and sound.  The calendar movement is tripped once each day by a lever from the top movement.  The calendar also indicates the moons age with a rotating enamel disk, a white moon against a blue enamel sky.  There are hairlines in the chapter ring around 12 o'clock, and a small chip near the F/S adjuster.  Ht 19.75"   $1400--$1800

487.  C.1928, Waltham Clock Co, Waltham, Mass, Willard Model #1544, weight driven timepiece, 8-day in a rope front walnut case.   Condition:   this is a one family clock from Fall River, Mass, and is in excellent original condition.  Most of these were made in mahogany, and it is nice to get one in walnut.  Note the maid dusted this clock regularly and the lacquer is worn from the brass trim, which has turned to dark brown.  Actually looks more antique than normal.  This clock sold for $97.30 when new, and allowing only for inflation, the price should be around $2000.  Ht 42"   $1750--$2250

488.  C.1890, French, Howell & James, Paris, Ormolu figural clock with pink shaded panels with paintings of cherubs.   Condition:  a very nice clock, with a gilt wood plinth to accent the quality.  Probably for a baby's room, the dial and panels show winged cherubs with various flowers and garlands.  Below the dial is a sheep at rest, looked after by another cherub, holding a wreath over the sheep's head.  Both the dial and the movement are signed "Howell & James, Paris"  Left winding hole with few chips.  Ht of clock = 9.5", overall 11.5"   $700--$900

489.  C.1820, French, Chabassol, a`Paris, Ormolu Figural Clock LIBRARY, Man reading, standing beside a book case, books and instruments on top, and to the right an inclinometer.   Condition:  the gilding on the case is still relatively good, some streaks, and weak on the sides and rear.   A little acorn to the right of the books has been added to fill a hole, and the top finial to the inclinometer is now a brass ball.  The book case itself is excellent, and the dial is also nice, some hairlines at 1 & 9.  The well made silk thread susp movement {signed as in headline} needs a pendulum.  The bell is now from an alarm clock, hands do not match, but French style replacements are available from Timesavers in Arizona.  Worth the restoration effort.   Ht 14.5"   $750--$1000

490.  C.1890, German, Carved Case, "R-A" timepiece, 8-day, spring driven.  Condition:  the case has been refinished, otherwise sound with no missing pieces from the door.  There is a hole in the back of the case where someone hung the clock on a nail that was too long for the hanger.  Seems to tick and run OK; mov't is oily and would benefit from service.  Ht 29"   $275--$375

491.  C.1830, French, Bronze Figural Clock  Horse With no Rider, 8-day time and bell strike, silk thread pendulum movement.    Condition:   overall the bronze is good, the loss to finish on the back of the horse, where metal is bright [does not show from the front].  The movement has been idle for many years and will require service; the minute hand is broken off.  Ht 16"   $900--$1200

492.  C.1920, Waltham Watch Co, Waltham, Mass, Willard Banjo, weight driven timepiece, 8-day in a mahogany cross-banded case.   Condition:  the case has been refinished.  The bottom bracket has been re-glued in the center.  The Mt. Vernon/ Geo Washington tablets appear to  be original.  Weight and pendulum are original; stick possible re-newed.  Movement serial #9490 is original to the case.  Runs well and overall very good condition.  Ht 42"   $1250--$1750

493.  C.1870, French, Ormolu & Marble,  mantel clock, CUPID, with a quiver of arrows at his feet, 8-day time and bell strike.   Condition:  the porcelain dial is damaged at the winding holes & been painted in; the crystal has been replaced and a bit of the mastic is showing around the bezel.  The dial is signed Maple & Co., Paris.  The F/S adjusting rod is off the movement, and in a plastic bag within the case [easy to replace]  This clock was re-gilded by Bill Berkowitz in 1995, and there is some small bit of discoloration now.   Ht 15"  $600--$800

494.  C.1825, Austrian, Rahmenuhr, or Picture Frame clock, 30-hour, time and strike, with original gilt frame and bright yellow gold leafed dial surround.    Condition:  the case and frame are in exceptional condition.  The movement is in running order, however, the gong has been replaced with a small French job that is inappropriate, and also the Geneva stopwork removed from both trains.  Minor hairline in dial near 5.  These clocks were at the height of fashion in the first quarter of the 1800s, and are under-appreciated today.  See a similar example in Kaltenböck's book, Viennese Timepieces, {1993}page 176.   Ht 20"   $600--$800

495.  C.1850,  J. C. Brown, (Forestville Mfg. Co.),  8-day time/strike mantel clock.  Condition - Rosewood veneered case with applied gold decoration is in very nice condition with original finish, and great stenciling.  Original upper tablet has some loss to the gold spandrels.  Original bottom tablet has some minor loss in the area of the white house {still exceptional}.  Original signed painted dial is very nice for its age with just a couple small spots of loss near the outer edge.  Most of the original label is missing.  Strike bell has been replaced.  Original ivory knob.  Movement is signed.  Overall very good considering its age.  Ht 15"   $400--$600

496.  C.1904,  Ansonia Clock Co., Royal Bonn "La Nord", 8-day time/strike porcelain mantel clock, signed painting.  Condition - Porcelain case in excellent condition with some very minor wear to the applied gold.  Very attractive and unusual artist signed pheasant image painted on the case {A. Hofmann}.  Original porcelain dial has small hairline cracks at 4, 8 and 10 o'clock, barely noticeable in foto..  Hands are original.  Movement is signed.  We hope our estimate is conservative on this clock, since Mr. Ly assigns a substantial premium for signed paintings.  See his Ansonia book, page 607.  This clock came from the Maryland Historical Society.  Ht 11.75"   $800--$1200

497.  C.1850, Howard & Davis, No. 4, Grained Fruitwood case, with an A. Howard movement.  Condition:  the faux rosewood case is in good condition, and the tablets are original.  Albert Howard was Edwards younger brother, apprenticed under Edward, and as he grew, became very involved in the clock business, making movements with his own name during the 1860—70s, and serving as general manager of E. Howard & Co., from 1881—93.  The paper over zinc dial is original, with margin losses.  This movement is identical in all respects, except signature, to a regular Howard & Davis #4.  Weight marked with #5; case hanger replaced; lower baffle replaced and too thick. Runs and keeps time.  Ht 32"  $2500--$3000

498.  C.1920, German, Amalgamated Clock Factories, Freiburg, 2-Wt box regulator with silvered brass dial and rod strike, serial #10914.   Condition:  except for the back being painted which does not hurt it,  this clock is in nice original condition. About half of the box weight regulators of this style were assembled from earlier movements, where cases had been damaged or the owner wanted the latest Deco style case.  This one is all from one period, the movement identical to another Junghans in this sale, but not signed  {see Gustav Becker story on the internet about how Junghans tried to absorb the various factories in Freibrug and streamline their operations}.  Retains original iron mounting bracket and silvered brass beat scale. Great beveled glass in door.   Ht 32"   $400--$600

499.  C.1880, E. Ingraham & Co., "Oriental", 8-day time/strike mantel clock.  Condition - Refinished rosewood and mahogany veneered case is in very nice clean condition.  Paper dial is a proper replacement, with Ingraham name.  Hands are original.  Case has no label.  These cases were offered with bulbous turnings on the door sides in gilt or plain.  The center button has some form of gilding that was done later.  These cases also came with 2 versions of pendulum access, one through the small central opening, and the other {like this}, where the lower section is a door.  See also lot 570.   Ht 17.5"   $600--$800

500.  C.1850, Austrian, late Biedermeier, Grand Sonnerie, one weight, two spring Vienna Regulator, in a false grained case.  Condition:  generally good original condition; detractions are two filled chips in the dial and other hairlines, missing lower case stabilizers, and the tip of the hour hand is missing.  Has large delicate 4 spoke pulley, and nice early pendulum bob with brass on both sides.  Ht 44"   $1000--$1500

There is a small veneer chip on the curved bottom.   The engraved brass dial is very clean with a few minor scratches; note it is uncommon to find a brass dial on such a model. The lacquer on the dial has turned dark. Hands are original. American movement is not signed, but looks like one made by Welch.  Cutout insert in the door needs a small piece added to make it high enough to properly fit the opening. Ht 26.5"   $250--$350

525.  C.1850, Vincenti & Cie, Paris, double dial calendar clock, mahogany veneer case, 8-day, time & bell strike.   Condition:   The case has suffered some and has been re-finished and the veneer on the base repaired.  The movement ticks and strikes, apparently spent some time near the ocean, as a couple of the screw heads are a little rusty.  The silvered time dial has lost much of its numeral paint, and  you can just make out the name of the Paris retailer:  Comeric Fromgh.  The simple calendar dials still bear their original markings, days showing in abbreviated French, to the left, and the date to the right.  Knobs from the rear allow you to advance for short months, and to change the day if the clock should stop.  The well made movement has an  interesting cam on the rear for adjusting F/S by raising the suspension spring, and on the Front plate is signed Vincenti  & Cie {no marks on rear}.  A "once-a-day" cam advances the calendar below.

530.  C.1860, G. D. HATCH, Attleboro, Mass, Keyhole style wall regulator, 8-day, iron weight, time, with restorations.   Condition:  the case retains its original grained finish on bezel and case sides; door has been refinished.  The dial is new, of good quality, steel pan.  The tablet is original; for this design tablet see Paul Foley's book on Willard Patent Time Pieces, page 175.  Pend assembly is a later replacement, as is the red painted weight baffle.  Ht 33"  $2000--$2500
