Retains original heavy glass dome {setting beside clock}. Height 10.5" $75-100

005 C.1905, German, Gustav Becker, 400-Day clock in a dark oak case with beveled glass; the top section lifts off like a "dome". This clock came to us from a repairman and is running fine. On the minus side, the movement is serial number 1,913,457, and with an earlier disc pendulum with lower serial number {+ a small side dent}. There are some dark stains on the arbors where rust has been removed; minute hand is repaired; all 4 beveled glass are excellent and porcelain dial is perfect. If it were all correct, we would have expected it to bring $800. Height 12½" $375-475

005a C.1910, German "Anniversary Clock" [on dial], in good original condition with old dome. The lower suspension block is missing and there is a hairline in the dial, visible on close inspection, and the bezel with a dimple at 6 {where the hairline came from}.

Proper 4-ball pendulum. Note the old glass dome is from another item and is slightly large in diameter; looks OK but does not set down in the groove of the base. Will clean up nicely; fork, block and suspension intact; height 17 ½" $175-275

005c C.1844, Chauncey Jerome, Bristol, Conn an early 30 hour brass movement OG with original wooden dial and very good label. The case is missing some of the outer band veneer along the bottom and a couple of chips, but overall is good. The weights have been turned by a machinist and are a bit light; standard replacements are available. The original tablet is about 30% flaked, but could merit restoration. Overall an interesting early OG with potential; ht 26" $125-175

006 C.1910, German, Junghans, Diana, Swing clock, as-found. Her left index finger is broken away and there is a porcelain chip in the dial by number 8. The jewel bar stripped out of her hand and someone has poorly soldered it in place with soft solder. Movement is sound and she does run fine {would benefit from cleaning}. The perfect ones seem to fetch around $850. Do NOT confuse this with the new ones coming from China; this clock has potential. Height 13 ½" $250-350

007 C.1905, Waterbury Clock Co., "Parlor #6" porcelain china mantel clock in good original condition. The pendulum is missing {refer to Timesavers clock parts in catalog}, but this clock is otherwise an excellent example with no chips to case, label intact on rear. The case front and sides decorated with small purple tipped flowers. 8-day movement, patent Jan 13, 1891 is sound but will require service; strikes the hours on a gong; original hands and perfect cream colored porcelain dial. Height 10" $175-275

008 C.1925, Waltham, Mini Banjo with Mt. Vernon tablets, as-found. This clock is rough: both tablets are flaking and although these models used Waltham's durable 8-day car clock movement, this one has been adapted from another clock and is in the case crooked and the bezel, from yet another clock has been soldered into place; dial crooked, hands mis-aligned. Amazingly it runs. Enjoy as decorator, or look for proper parts. Would be $500 if correct; height 21" $125-175

009 C.1885, Wm. L. Gilbert, "DACCA" Walnut 8-day parlor clock in excellent order, except it is missing its carved top and 4 finials {see detail image of what it should look like}. Retains original dial, hands, regulator pendulum, finish +label on rear. Note this is a 3-dimensional case with lots of incising. If you are a handy enough to make the top, you'll end up with a $400 clock; height as shown 18" $100-200

010 C.1900, New Haven "DUCHESS" 8-day, shelf clock in golden oak and in good original condition. There is enough label on the rear to read the model name and that it said "8-day". The original dial is flaking, and the case is a little loose. Note single barrel pendulum always used on this model. Runs and strikes. Height 18" $125-175

011 C.1895, German, Junghans, Mini Walnut alarm clock, with restoration. The case has been refinished with shiny varnish, and the brass polished; small brass button, top left is missing, and brass fleur-de-lis from top center is absent also. Otherwise this is a cute little clock, complete with original dial and finials. The shortcomings are noticed only on close observation, and this is still a cute decorator and in running order; alarms loudly on an iron bell. Ht 12" $100-150

012 C.1870, Jerome & Co., full size 30 hour steeple clock in very good original condition. The only items that keeps this from being excellent are the replaced top finials, which have been there a long time, and an old replaced hour hand. The rest of the clock is in xlnt original condition, especially the tablet of Washington Rock, NJ" which is really superb. Even with minor shortcomings, almost anyone could be happy with this clock. Height 19" $125-225

013 C.1920, German, Hamburg American Clock Company, 8-day, time and strike mantel clock in generally good condition. Runs and strikes on a cathedral gong, but would benefit from service. There is a center split in the front that was caused by a presentation plaque that has been removed; stain on dial. Has a super original label inside the rear door. Neat architectural style. Height 15¼" $75-100

014 C.1965, Horolovar Co., Bronxville, NY, Terwilliger's re-issue of the "Flying Pendulum Clock", from storage, missing tiny ball pendulum {available from Timesavers, #11718 for $2.25, includes cord}. The clock is otherwise sound and original and with a good dial, spring, hands, etc, and with original brochure and order form from 1960. These seem to bring $175 when complete. Height 10" $90-120

015 C.1920, German, Black Forest Cuckoo in good restored condition. A couple of leaf tips have been re-glued, but everything is there, and the carving is deep and 3 dimensional. The bellows and flutes are new {nice deep tone}, and the pendulum is new as well. Retains heavy old movement, and is running and "cucking" well. Original hands and numerals are excellent; good old weights as well. Height, bird to pendulum tip, 23" $150-250

016 C.1920, German, Black Forest Cuckoo & Quail in good restored condition. A couple of leaf tips have been reglued, and the antlers appear to have been replaced long ago.

Height, deer to pendulum tip, 27", ht, including weights, 33" $600-700

017 C.1925, German, Black Forest Cuckoo, complete with top rail. This clock is from a home in Maine and although dusty, has received good care. A couple of trim pieces are loose, but all is there; ¼" tip gone from right finial. Heavy cast plate lyre movement is marked DRGM. Original bellows have deep tone. Cross-band inlay strips are intact; original hands. Note chalet style treatment to roof. Height, top leaf to pendulum tip = 25" $275-375

018 C.1868, Hubbell Mini Cast Iron shelf clock in very clean condition. These must occasionally have been used as travel clocks, owing to the convenient size for packing into the corner of a suit case. 30 hour lever movement seems to be running fine; the dial paper has been renewed. The black enamel and mother of pearl are in very good condition. Height 5 ½" $100-150

019 C.1900, German, Mahogany Mantel Clock in good original condition. The very well made movement looks like a W+H, but is stamped "Made in Germany", as is the rear of the dial. The front of the dial is signed: "Harris & Shafer Co, Washington, DC". In any case it is a well made little clock with Chippendale style carvings applied to the front. The finial at top is removable. The finish on the case is original and with nice patina. This is a great clock for a beginning collector. Ht 16" $125-225

020 C.1895, Seth Thomas Adamantine, as-found. Although the rear dust board is gone, this clock is otherwise in good original condition. We have not seen this particular model before and it is attractive, with gilt caryatids between double white columns either side of the dial. With key and pendulum; movement has never been serviced; runs but dirty. Will restore into a $350 Adamantine. Height 10" $125-225

021 C.1910, Waterbury "Conductor" carriage clock in outstanding condition. This clock has been well cared for and was recently serviced and is running, striking and repeating strongly.

022 C.1910, Ansonia "Euclid" Porcelain china clock in excellent original condition. This is a little one day, rear wind clock. The paper dial has some age spots, but nothing objectionable; beveled crystal is perfect. Case is off white with yellow flowers. A great clock for one who collects miniatures; height 5.5" $125-175

023 C.1890, Parker & Whipple, Meriden, Conn, a small pendulum timepiece in excellent original condition. The paper dial has turned gray, but the inscription is still quite legible: "A. E. Hotchkiss' Patent" . Note the measurement on this model, one of the smallest pendulum clocks in the world. Complete with original rear winding/set key {don't lose this part} Running. Height 3" $175-275

024 C.1925, German, Animated Monkey shelf clock in good original condition. The eyes move back and forth while the moving pendulum {monkey's tail} is visible between his legs. There are some nicks and scrapes to the case, and it was varnished over lightly at one time and has turned a bit dark. We have not seen this novelty before and it's a real "eye catcher". The unusual movement is well made and running, but would benefit from service. Rear door slides up for access. Ht 10" $175-225

025 C.1835, Henry Terry, Plymouth, Conn {invented by Eli Terry on label}, short transitional shelf clock, with some restoration. The splat is a piece of mahogany and improper. The tablet was replaced maybe 50 years ago, as it is flaking again in several spots, and the putty is extremely hard….has a decent look. Label with some tears but very legible; stenciling on columns weak but visible. If you have a friend with some old case parts, you might come up with a stenciled splat to replace this one, or check with Karen Larson. Best part of the clock is the absolutely fabulous dial—it may look new in photo, but it is original!! Height 29" $275-375

025a C.1922, Seth Thomas, "Chime Clock No. 95" in good original condition. This clock has been in storage and there is some minor tarnish on the dial and bezel. However it is in untouched condition, with good #124 3-train movement, silvered dial with raised bronze numerals, and all original chime rods intact and with super tone. Height 11¼" $200-300

026 C.1885, German, Hamburg American, for the French market. Interestingly, this clock belonged to a lawyer in New York, and in 1970 he wrote NAWCC about its origin. With the clock is a handwritten reply from former president Earl Strickler telling him that H.A.C. was founded by Paul Landenberger, son-in-law of Erhard Junghans. A worn photo taken in 1970 shows that two top trim buttons and the two lower finials have been missing for at least 30 years. Movement sound but would benefit from service. Wooden dial and porcelain numerals are perfect; height 23" $225-325

027 C.1880, French, a good Walnut Cartel clock with reeded side columns and nicely carved top and bottom. This is roughly the same time period as the previous lot, but of higher quality. The movement is a large and robust unit with solid square plates and dead beat escapement, and with very large spring barrels. The twelve porcelain numerals are attached to a round wooden dial, and the hands are pierced brass, ht 25" $350-550

028 C.1885, Ansonia TRIUMPH Walnut parlor clock in fair to good condition, with restoration. Note the little "tails" on the top carving are missing, the dial is from another clock and double drilled to fit this one, the case refinished, top finials incorrect, and partial rear label is dark from solvent. See image of movement and note top two pivots on time side are riding in "instant bushings" applied with sheet metal screws. Well, it runs and strikes, but a purist would take exception to these items. This is a $700 clock today in proper order, so our estimate reflects current condition. It does look quite nice. Height 24 ½" $350-450

029 C.1954, Swiss, LeCoultre, ATMOS serial 47883, "perpetual" clock automatically wound by changes in atmospheric pressure. This clock is as found, the dial dis-colored, and the case with part of the lacquer and gilding rubbed off due to regular cleaning/dusting. We set the clock running and verified that the movement is complete and sound, but it may need service. These clock are still made today in Switzerland, and are very expensive. Height 9 ½" $250-350

030 C.1891, Waterbury "Bruce" Oak Cased wall clock. Except for the missing stick & ball top, this clock is all original, in exceptional condition and with medium golden oak finish. 8-day time and strike on cathedral gong, running well. Retains both original labels on rear [Bruce label missing a couple of small pieces]. If you are handy enough to make a top, you can complete a desirable clock. Worth $750 complete. Height as shown in photo 30" $300-400

031 C.1925, New Haven Clock Co., ABBEY Westminster Chime mantel clock in very good condition, running and chiming fine. The only thing that keeps this from being excellent is one finial missing from the solid mahogany case. Has premium dial with raised numerals in good condition. Uses premium round movement with spring barrels and chimes the quarter hours on straight steel rods. Exceptional tone on this particular clock. Height 15 ½" $225-325

032 C.1910, German, Junghans, Walnut bracket clock, time and strike, in good restored condition. This is a cute clock with classic English lines, and with brass spandrels in the corners and in the arch of the dial. Strikes the hours and halves on a coiled wire gong. Minute hand is old, but does not match the hour hand, the silvered chapter ring with roman numerals and with little gold fleur-de-lis between the numerals. Well made movement with solid plates carries the Junghans logo on the rear plate, and "Germany" on the dial. Height 17" $175-275

033 C.1905, Seth Thomas "Reminder Alarm" clock in very good restored condition. This is an uncommon model that we could not find in the Seth Thomas catalog, however, it retains its original label with model name on the rear. Similar to cabinet models, it uses a movement related to the "advance" or "progress", but with center set alarm, rather than a small wheel below the 12.. The "silent" and "alarm" lever is just below the dial on the front of the case. The front of the clock is an oak veneer panel with applied trim like the "Metal" series. Dial and hands are original. Runs and alarms for a LONG time. Neat beginner's clock. Height 15" $125-225

034 C.1890, E. N. Welch Mfg, Bristol, Walnut gingerbread clock in excellent original condition. This model is the SMUGGLER , with both rear labels intact {top label for model and lower instruction label}. Note interesting "horse & buggy" tablet is also original. Pendulum was originally gilded, now rubbed to copper. Runs. This and the next lot are great entry level clocks for the novice collector. Height 22" $150-200

035 C.1890, E. N. Welch Mfg, Bristol, Walnut gingerbread clock in excellent original condition. The model label is rubbed off and unreadable, but the lower instruction label is complete. This is a GREAT walnut gingerbread clock, with original finish {dark and crazed}, and with fancy pendulum with original gilding intact. Note the old tablet with "curtain" dial surround, and inside repair label from a jeweler in Lynn, Mass "who will give you Boston price[s] and save you car fare". A great beginner's clock. Height 25" $175-275

036 C.1900, Seth Thomas ADAMANTINE mantel clock in good original condition, dirty, as-found. This clock has sat for many years and has a good bit of grunge in the crevices and it appears that the movement has never been serviced. Still, everything there is sound and original and this clock will restore nicely. Strikes a gong on the hour and bell on the half hour. Note embossed brass dial with heavy cast bezel. Height 11" $125-175

036a C.1900, Seth Thomas ADAMANTINE mantel clock in fair to good original condition, dirty, as-found. There are a couple of corner chips in the adamantine veneer. Retains original dial and heavy cast bezel. This one has green & white moldings and matching top. All hardware sound and complete. Ht 11" $100-150

036b C.1886, Seth Thomas "RENO" Walnut City Series clock in generally good as-found condition. There is one little trim "ball" missing on the right side, and the dial has a few flakes and has been shellacked over to try to stabilize what is left. Retains original finish, with wear, original interior black label {unreadable} and proper city series pendulum. Ht 20" $175-275

036c C.1900, German, Kienzle, "R-A" Walnut wall regulator in good original condition. This would be excellent, except that it is missing finials, top and bottom; also missing plain glass on left side. Still everything else is original and finials can be purchased for less than $2 each. The 8-day movement is dirty, but is still ticking and striking; height 33" $200-300

037 C.1920, E. Ingraham & Co., De Soto Black Mantel clock in good original condition, clean and running. Although we do not normally sell Ingraham blacks, this one is just a little nicer than normal, with 6 short Corinthian capitals and mahogany panels above. There are some nicks and scrapes on the case, but it is generally quite nice; celluloid dial is still good. Height 11" $125-175

038 C.1930, American oak cased tool box, restored. The case has been refinished and the drawers all relined with green felt. With original lock and key. This is about as nice a box as we have had. Height 14" width 20" $150-250

039 C.1930, New Haven WHITNEY Banjo clock, in good, original, as-found condition, the dial with wear and poor touch-up. Re-silvering these dials is expensive, however paper replacements are available for a couple of dollars. The clock is otherwise sound, and is even running and striking on a straight steel rod. Original pendulum. 8-day spring movement. Ht 30" $150-200

040 C.1929 {dated on rear}, Sessions HALIFAX 8-day time and strike banjo clock in good, as-found condition, except for a broken strike spring. The mahogany case is clean with a transfer in the throat and a print of a clipper ship in the door. The dial is perfect; replace the spring and end up with a $200 banjo. Ht 27½" $50-80

041 C.1955, Seth Thomas, 110v Plymouth, Westminster chime tambour clock, as-found. This clock has been packed away for a while, and we were surprised on plugging it in and moving the hands to find that it chimed the quarter hours just fine, and with great tone. BUT the hands are not advancing despite the obvious efforts of the motor, so it is going to require some looking into. Note original instructions, pre-load key and silvered dial with raised bronze numerals. Original finish great, plus burled applique intact; ht 9½" $75-100

042 C.1880, New Haven, Octagon Drop, mahogany with restorations. The case has been refinished and the lower door re-venered {an OK but not perfect job}. Retains good tablet and interior label [showing 1871 patent date]], a little aged but fully legible. Original dial intact with minor flaking. Not a bad school clock; height 23" $175-225

043 C.1915, New Haven Clock Co., REFEREE, time and calendar oak store regulator, restored. This clock was refinished some time ago to a golden oak color. The dial re-papered with appropriate stock, is coming loose from the pan. Hands and top tablet original; lower tablet a replacement. Still a good looking clock; ht 36" $225-325

044 C.1730, English, 8-day Movement with 12 inch brass dial, as-found. This movement came to us from storage in Maine, and is missing the rack, warning lever, and gathering pallet; it is otherwise complete and sound, with heavy baluster pillars {finely ringed}, + bell, pulleys, hands and seatboard. It is a well made movement with calendar ring intact behind the dial; a new calendar gear has been installed, but still needs a pin to activate the ring. The dial itself with face spandrels in the corners and dolphin spandrels in the arch; the dial center with fine floral and scroll engraving. The arch with a removable circle on which is engraved the name of Edward Upjohn, Topham. Without pendulum or weights. Measures 12 x 16" $400-600

044a C.1735, English, 8-Day Movement with 12 inch brass dial, restored, the dial signed Henry Thornton, London. The movement has been bushed and re-strung and is ready for installation. The chapter ring has been polished to brass and should be silvered. Minute hand is an incorrect replacement, but will suffice until you find a proper one. Dial has a matte center with calendar orifice at 6 and the calendar is functioning. With pulleys; without pendulum or weights. Measures 12 x 16 ¼" $400-600

045 C.1790, Scottish, 8-Day Movement with 12 inch brass dial, and with original internal alarm intact. The pull wind alarm spring is at the top of the rear plate, when released by the central alarm cam it rings the strike bell with a crown wheel and typical double ended hammer {still works !!}. With calendar aperture above the 6, and with strike/silent lever in the arch and all of those levers intact as well. Dial signed Joseph Taylor, Perth. With pulleys; without pendulum or weights. This came from the same Maine storage as lot 44. 12 x 16 ½" $500-800

046 C.1830, Sylvester Clarke, Salem-Bridge, Conn., early shelf clock with restorations. Sylvester designed a slightly different movement than Heman, but still placed the 'scape wheel outside the plates, above the center shaft--see detail image. The top support for the movement has been newly made and left old holes unfilled; top carved splat is suspect, however this carving is 3" wider than a triple deck carving and may just be original. Old feet are from another clock and bottoms of the columns are newly made with contrasting inlay. Dial was purpose made out of wood and professionally painted {high quality}. The 8-day movement has some repairs but seems to tick and strike. Both glasses with corner cracks; good label. Would be $4500 if original. Ht 29" See also lot 319. Should be tempting at $1000-1500

047 Mixed Lot: A quality chain fusee movement C.1900 with a jeweled lever platform, now in a brass case made by a machinist showing off his substantial skills with metal work. The top of the case has a round beveled lens for viewing the movement, and the dial is lightly engraved in the brass front of the clock. Seems to run OK and is keeping time, but I notice the minute shaft is slightly bent causing a bind in the motion works {should be relatively easy to fix. Ht 10" $250-350

048 C.1830, Dutch Stoelklok, as-found. This clock has been in storage in Maine for 35 years, and has lost its hands, weights, bell, pend, case lead {top}. Still it is an interesting clock, worthy of restoration. The alarm train is present, but front disc is absent; note also rolling moon. The paint on the mermaids looks as if it were re-done mid-20^th century. Ht 27" $500-800

049 C.1890, German, Lenzkirch, carriage alarm, as-found. This little clock is in the same category as the little Terry Clock Co. alarms, in that it has a pivoted pendulum fixed to the movement, with a threaded bob for adjustment. The once elegant wooden case with brass edging and feet had finely painted decorations which an amateur tried to outline with gold paint {needs further attention}. Porcelain dial with touch-up at 10 & 3; minute hand improper. Still ticks and alarms. Would be $500 if original. Ht, handle up 6½" $125-225

050 C.1845, Terry & Andrews, 30-Hour, Brass spring steeple {time spring now steel}, with Terry style alarm and excellent label. The Fenn type tablet with balloonist is also original, but with wear; you can just about make out the entire design. The case was refinished long ago and there are a few veneer chips along the edges, but this clock is otherwise in very good original condition. A good early steeple. Height 19" $125-175

051 C.1900, Wm. L. Gilbert "Egyptian No. 60" pressed oak kitchen clock in good original condition. The press is deep and with fine floral detail, and with gargoyles on the base. The only thing that keep this clock from being excellent is the top half inch of the case was broken away and lost long ago. It does still look OK with the piece missing. The original dial retains Gilbert trademark, is a bit dark, and the numbers VIII-XII have been touched up a bit. Still, for what we find at estate sales today, this is above average. Ht 25" $125-225

052 C.1880 {introduced in 1878}, New Haven Estelle, as found, with restoration, but generally fair to good condition. The walnut case has been completely refinished and is quite dark. Someone painted brown paint behind the fancy glass border to help keep it from flaking, and this needs attention. The original dial is flaking in the 4-6 section. About half the label remains on rear. All of the small bits of case trim are intact. Despite the few shortcomings, this is a hard to find model. Height 21" $150-200

053 C.1870, Mixed banjo lot. I've not seen this particular Connecticut movement before, a small version of a Silas Terry weight movement {unmarked}, in a mixed case, Attleboro lower portion with an Ingraham top section spliced on. The throat tablet is cracked, bottom tablet is fine. It does run and is cosmetically pleasing; would fill the bill as a "decorator" banjo, or the parts alone should be worth the estimate. Ht 41" $350-450

053a C.1900, Mixed lot: a Gilbert weight driven movement, now in a C.1925 Chelsea style banjo case with original Hull tablets {throat cracked and glued}. Note the "feet" on the movement have been straightened in a vise so it would fit in this case; pendulum stick and keystone go with the movement. The last thing that was done to accommodate the marriage was to cut off the tip of the center shaft about 1/8" so the bezel would close. It does still tick, but we would suggest you are buying parts that could be put to better use on other clocks; height 35" $350-450

053b Mixed lot: A C.1855 S. B. Terry time only regulator movement with seconds bit, on seat board, now in a C.1860 Attleboro banjo case, and with a new dial purpose made for the case. It amazes me how many creative banjo makers we have had for this auction. My guess is that the movement is worth around $200 and the case around $200. From a decorative point of view, this is a decent looking clock; nice tablets. Ht 34" $375-475

054 C.1825, a Mass area Banjo clock, as-found. This clock has some possibilities. The well made movement is original to the case, as is the dial. Hands are improper replacements. The lower baffle and tie down are missing. Part of the beveled throat is missing {top left}. The primitive tablets may be original and have certainly been in place for a long time and are flaking from the rear. Ticks OK but will require service; lead weight is a recent. Height 34" $500-600

The dial is signed Chauoin a` Chateauneuf and has some hairlines, but is very good. The hour hand is in 2 pieces {taped for photo}. The cord has failed and needs renewing. Generally a good sound clock that will respond to cleaning and run for many years to come. Note weights are soup cans filled with lead, painted gold; brass of clock has been sprayed gold as well. Ht 58" $400-600

055a C.1830, French, Morbier 2-Weight, Prayer Repeat in excellent original condition, with grid pendulum, fancy dial surround with Alpine farm scene {Swiss chalet with cows, a barn, out buildings and people}, and with lead weights.

055c C.1890, German, Quarter Strike, ting-tang on 2 flat wire gongs, oak bracket clock. This is a very well made clock, the movement identical to another W & H we have for the next sale, but this movement bears only a serial number. The square brass dial has cast scroll spandrels, and gilded mat center in the English style. With original finials, hands, gong and hardware, the well detailed case with full turned columns up the side and a carved "shingle" roof. The only defect is a part of the seat board missing, easy enough to replace. Good looking; height 23½" $450-650

055d C.1920, German, Junghans, Walnut 8-Day bracket clock. This is a very clean clock, mailed over here from Germany. Note the model is like those clocks sold elsewhere that are brought in from China, but look like they've been towed behind a scow all the way to the US. This has a well made Junghans movement, and retains original pendulum, gong and all case hardware. Original cello dial is in good condition. Height 18" $200-300

055e C.1975 Chelsea Clock Co., Chelsea, Mass. "The Wythe House" Mantle clock. Chelsea made this under license [and supervision of] Colonial Williamsburg. 8-day balance wheel movement with serial No. 793379. Slight tarnish on the bezel.

055g C.1960 Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Conn. 8-day balance wheel movement Miniature Pillar and Scroll clock, in excellent original condition. Looks like this clock has never been out of its original box. This clock was received as a wedding gift and packed away in its factory box. This combination will surely appreciate well. Height 15" $200-300

055h C.1875, French, Morez Prayer Repeat picture frame clock in very good original condition. Has an interesting dial surround of tin with little repousse` brass appliques.

055i C.1900, German, Spring Driven Wall regulator in very good original condition, with all original finials, spread eagle, pendulum, hands, etc. Be sure to attach the eagle a little better before he falls and gets damaged… he is great looking, as is the entire clock. 8-day, gong strike. Ht 40" $400-600

055j C.1918, E. Ingraham & Co., NAVARRE, wall clock, 8-day time and strike in good original condition. The only thing that keeps this from being excellent is that someone filled in the background colors of the original tablet, and they didn't match the colors perfectly {looks OK}. Otherwise this is a decent clock with original mahogany finish, and superior paper dial, clean and running. Minor nicks on edge. Ht 20" $250-350

055k C.1922, Seth Thomas "Chime clock No. 59" Westminster tune mahogany mantel clock in good condition, restored. The case has been attractively refinished and the movements cleaned. This clock uses the same twin movement set-up as the Sonora series, but with straight chime rods instead bells; note optional dial with raised bronze numerals. Ht 11 ¾" $175-275

056 C.1929, Wm. L. Gilbert DRESDEN Pillar and Scroll, miniature, in excellent original condition. The image is deceiving, as the clock is just over a foot high including finials. Retains original dial {a little darkening has occurred}, and original Mr. Vernon lower tablet {painted on glass}. See also next lot. Minor nicks and scrapes; great beginner's clock. Ht 12¼" $225-325

057 C.1931, Wm. L. Gilbert DRESDEN Pillar and Scroll, miniature, in very good to xlnt original condition. The only minor restoration is a new rear dust cover which has been well done. Original dial and tablet are super. As above lot, uses small premium 8-day rack strike movement. This model with brass finials. A great beginner's clock; ht 12¼" $225-325

058 C.1870, Seth Thomas, Empire Column & Cornice in generally good original condition. Both top returns to the cornice have been poorly replaced, and there are minor chips in the door veneer and the veneer is absent on the sides and now false grained. Label is xlnt. Original dial and tablets with flakes. This particular clock retains original spring driven alarm with central disc intact. Height 32" $375-475

059 C.1870, Seth Thomas, Rare 8-Day Short Shell Column, in original condition. The fruit tablet has a single vertical crack straight through and is flaking; label is flaking and weak. HOWEVER, the case is one of nicest you will ever find and with original, weights, pend, and super 8-day lyre movement. Superb re-painted dial from the Dial House. Height 25" $400-500

060 C.1875, Seth Thomas, Empire Column & Cornice 8-Day in generally good restored condition. The case has been re-veneered {some one spent a lot of hours on this job} and cornice lacks top ¼" trim molding; dial is new, bottom tablet new; label dark and nearly unreadable. Still not a bad looking example of this model and in running order. Original weights. Ht 31½" $200-300

061 C.1875, Seth Thomas, Empire Column & Cornice 8-Day in generally good restored condition. Retains original rosewood columns and original finish, but the entire cornice is new {decent job, but needs better finish}.

062 C.1875, A. Frankfield & Co., NY, a rare American made shelf cuckoo with patent Connecticut open spring movement, modified with 1866 patent additions to the plates to allow for two lifting arms in sequence to accomplish the "cuckoo" sound. This clock comes to us from storage, as-found, less rear dust cover. In a bag with the clock are new hands, a numeral set to apply and the pendulum. The dust cover is simple to make from a rectangle of thin pine. If this were complete and original, we would expect it to sell for around $800. Height 19" $300-500

063 C.1990, Chinese re-issue of late 18^th century verge with double fusee bracket clock. When China first opened up in the seventies, the originals of these clocks were imported into the US in great quantities. But when they ran out, the Chinese were creative enough to manufacture still larger quantities that appear to be antiques, but are not. This clock falls in the latter category. Movement is complete and sound and running; has engraved backplate. Side brackets have broken and been poorly soldered. Porcelain dial and surround are in good shape. Complete with original carved base. Height 19" $400-600

064 C.1860, Waterbury Clock Co., a good little 30 hour iron front, the only faults being the tip of the iron case broken away and the dial re-papered.

065 C.1870., Wm L. Gilbert, 30 Hour Cottage, in rosewood, restored, now less alarm. Case has a repair label on the rear stating "This clock has been restored by George B. Davis, Clock Collector & Restorer, 1714 W. Magnolia, San Antonio 1, TX", which pre-dates the "zip code" era, so we must guess mid 60's. The dial has been professionally repainted. Minor chips and bubbles in veneer; runs and strikes. Ht 13" $100-150

066 C.1890, Swiss, 8-day, pin set, paperweight clock. This clock is in running order, however the porcelain dial was damaged and is poorly filled in the center, and with hairlines. The well jeweled movement is visible from the rear. Note the flash covered part of the numeral 10. Diameter of ball = 3" In perfect condition these bring 3 to 4 hundred dollars, so our estimate reflects some expense in restoring the dial: $125-225

067 C.1890, Swiss, 8-day, pin set clock, with eagle stand. The eagle shows evidence of repairs, but is now intact and has been re-bronzed. Note the eagles wings are removable {held on with screws}, and the eagles legs have stubs that fit down into the tree-trunk base which has the talons cast in. The over-grown watch movement is a stem wind job, with rear access through a large hinged cover. The nickeled case is mostly worn to brass. Porcelain dial is perfect. Runs. Diam. of case = 3.8", ht of eagle, 15½" Should attract a lot of attention at $200-300

068 C.1880, Swiss, Ceremonial Watch in gilt bronze stand. The little "temple" is divided into 4 quadrants, and with a little tray at the bottom for holding small items. Two views are provided to show the layout. The key wind, key set movement is fully shuttered from the rear, and ticks and stops. The porcelain dial is in good condition and retains original hands. We hope someone will recognize the original purpose of this well made item. Ht 6 ¼" $100-200

069 C.1848, J. C. Brown, Bristol, Conn, 8-Day Steeple Clock in very good+ original condition. An excellent mahogany case with early cone finials. Signed J C Brown movement, and original signed dial {sig faint}, and a Fenn type frosted tablet {some loss of design, and it looks nearly clear in photo}; label is good, with some holes and stain along the bottom. A nice steeple; height 19½" $325-425

070 C.1890, George W. M. Reed Bitter Co., New Haven, "Our Grandfather’s Clock", made by Yale clock Co. Although the advertising tablet was replaced long ago, and the dial repapered, the case retains its original ebony finish and gilt highlights on the Eastlake style case. Best part is the fabulous rear label…see image. If this clock had the ads, we’d expect it to bring $1000. See also lots 184 and 185 Height 24" $350-450

071 C.1830, Ephraim Downes, Bristol, Con, short transitional column & splat with claw feet. Both original glasses, the top with edge crack, the tablet with an unusual painting of 3 birds {about 2/3 gone}. Lee Davis says he has never seen this tablet before and would appreciate a photocopy. The Downes movement has been thoroughly cleaned and is in excellent working order. The case retains original dust board over the pulleys; door with ivory escutcheon and orig lock; label excellent. There is minor damage to the top of the splat, dial with paint loss, and the left chimney top was poorly reglued and needs attention. Overall a very good clock worthy of restoration; height 28" $300-500

072 C.1925, E. Ingraham & Co., "NYANZA" banjo clock in good original condition, clean and running. The only things that keeps this from being excellent are the flaking border of both tablets, and a missing retainer tab on the bezel {stays shut OK}. The dial, hands, pendulum, finish are original and with a superior rear label. Height 39" $300-400

073 C.1910, Wm. L. Gilbert "Vista" crystal regulator in very good original condition, clean and running. Porcelain dial with open escape is perfect, but there is some dirt on the center dial from a dirty key, but that will clean off OK. Fancy Arabic numerals have a great look. Retains original hands, pendulum and good beveled glass. Note this model has a brass case, but the top molding is plated spelter, with some pitting & discoloration. Height 10½" $250-350

074 C.1925, New Haven "Whitney" 8-day spring banjo clock with art deco tablets. The tablets are starting to flake and have minor touch up from the rear {still look OK from the front}. The clock strikes the hours on a single straight steel rod mounted in the case back. Silvered dial with minor wear. One of the tabs that retains the crystal has failed and it is loose. Overall good original condition, and will respond to cleaning. Height 30" $175-225

075 C.1930, Seth Thomas, DOVER, mini spring banjo clock in excellent original condition. Clock is complete with original eagle, label, finish and good silvered dial.

075c C.1920, French Mini Lyre shaped clock in good condition. There are some small nicks and scrapes in the finish of the clock…. someone handy with shellac can fix this up; the "strings are brass inlay and the leaves are satinwood. Retains a good porcelain dial and original hands and seems to be ticking fine. Ht 11¼" $125-175

075d C.1835, Seth Thomas, Plymouth, Conn, stenciled ½ column and splat shelf clock with faint but original stencil on columns, and with GREAT eagle stencil on splat {Wm B. Fenn stencil}; splat has been broken but repaired. Original 30-hour wood movement with alarm train complete with wood alarm pulley [alarm weight lacking]. Original dial in very good condition, also hands and alarm disc. The hand painted tablet is poor, but a good old mirror would make this a very nice clock; ht 34" $225-325

075e C.1880, French Portico Set, in the style of Louis XV, white marble and ormolu, with restoration. The ormolu has been polished to brass and lacquered; actually looks quite flashy. The porcelain dial is xlnt, with original polychrome floral wreath decorations. Good round movement strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Note pendulum which is a floral basket. Height 16" $500-750

075f C.1895, French, A Small Boulle Style mantel clock with restoration. This case has been polished with a buffing wheel, and the shell buffed away in a couple of spots. The pendulum is old but smooth; should be a little cast brass head or sun. Has a good movement with the signature of Marti, Paris. The small porcelain dial has blue Roman numerals and original moon hands. Runs and strikes the hours and halves on a bell; ht 12" $600-800

075g C.1910, German, Cobalt Blue, porcelain china clock "Death of King Lear" clearly labeled under the scene below the dial. Although this is only a 30 hour clock, it is in "like-new" condition with no chips nor cracks and is perfect for the beginning collector. Original and excellent throughout. Ht 10 ½" $175-275

075h Mixed lot: This clock is mostly old, a movement by Jullien of Paris, C.1880, modified by extending the rear bridge high enough to accommodate a long pendulum, and a Contra-boulle case from the same period, with extensive repairs to the brass veneer. Seems to run OK. An all original clock of this size would surely sell for $3000 in a French furniture sale. Our estimate is based on the amount of restoration; ht 23½" $800-1200

075i C.1910, German Shelf Cuckoo with balance lever escapement. Has heavy cast plates and count wheel movement typical of this time period. Minuses: the top rail of leaves is missing; hands and bellows are new. Minor nicks and scrapes to case, otherwise complete and sound, running, and with nice deep cuckoo sound. Ht 14" $350-550

076 C.1890, German, Gustav Becker, 2-weight wall regulator in the Veinnese Alt Deutsch style. Although the serial number on the bracket does not match the number on the movement, they are both of Becker production. The top and bottom had an infestation of wood worm that has been treated and is now dormant {no dust apparent}. Strikes on a straight steel rod with pleasant tone. One weight new and they do not match. Height 50" $450-650

077 C.1890, Austrian, Gebruder Resch {Remember} 3-Weight Grand Sonnerie wall clock in the Alt Deutsch stytle. There is a shim behind the mounting bracket, so we are unsure if the movement is original to the case. The dial center is signed L. Weibhauser, Salzburg, probably the retailer. The chapter ring has some chips and hairlines, but all the numerals are sharp and legible. Hands and pulleys are proper Remember stock; replacement weights. Height 50" $1200-1500

078 C.1880, German, 2-weight Wall Regulator in a walnut case of transitional style. The 80 beat movement is well made, but is not original to the case. It is a brass slide mount with gong attached to the rear mount. The multicolor porcelain dial is cream color with black numerals with red fleur-de-lis between, also with seconds hand, and fancy embossed bezel. Most regulator movements were 80 beats per minute and will interchange to another case and still run fine; small dents in pendulum. A good looking clock. Height 44" $450-650

079 C.1890, Austrian, 3-Weight Grand Sonnerie, full column case, as-found in fair condition. This clock suffers from over-restoration. The back has been re-veneered, the sides are replaced and the door is held on with a modern piano hinge. The nice carved top is from another piece of furniture. The movement itself is a Gebruder Resch {Remember}, cleaned and running. The weights are simply brass tubing filled with lead and with coat hanger wire for hooks. The rope molding is new from Home Depot. Would be $3000 if all original. Ht 52" $750-1000

079a C.1865, German, Gustav Becker, 1-Weight regulator, with restorations. The well made movement has maintaining power, and serial #59,460, and is original to the case. The dial is excellent except for some hairlines near 5. The case itself has been refinished, and the top is cut out of a piece of drawer front with molded decorations added. Bottom finial is new. Those points aside, it is clean and keeping accurate time. Height 44" $300-500

080 Mixed Lot, Seth Thomas Regulator No. 2, walnut, mostly new and part old. I really believe the only old parts are the dial surround and outer bezel, which has been re-veneered. The movement is a new Indian unit, unmarked, and the pendulum and weight are new as well. Door latch is included but was never installed; also second hand inside. Our estimate is based on the value of the parts here; ht 36" $225-325

081 C.1889, German, Kienzle, Berlin Style Free swinger with restorations. The top trim is recently made and stained to match. The main case has a lot of character with deep fluted moldings; the door had a center split that has been filled with carpenters friend. Retains an interesting pendulum showing a young boy in a tree with two storks looking up at him. The solid plate movement has cut pinions and dead bead escapement. Running. Height 38" $275-375

082 C.1870, German, Dial Clock, or Wag on the Wall. This is a nice early movement with feet extending behind the mounting board, and with wooden plates and arbors and brass wheels. Best part is the dial, which, despite a significant warp is not cracked and retains original decorations and hands; picture at top is of a young girl pouring milk for 4 kittens in a barn {+2 black cats near her feet}. The weights are from an American OG and the pendulum is new. Height of dial is 13". Runs and strikes. $100-200

084 C.1838, C. & N. Jerome, Bristol, Conn, Round side clock. Dial appears to be new. The two glasses are replacements and the lock on the door is missing also. Clock retains original card label which many times is missing. Height 22" $250-350.

085 C.1835, Boardman & Wells for Hiram Hunt, Bangor, Maine Carved Column clock. The 30-hour brass bushed wooden movement and dial are original to the clock. Clock has beautiful carved columns and a carved pineapple crest. The clock has a replaced lower tablet done on old glass. The main door has unfortunately been reveneered, with the veneer going in the wrong direction. {long way rather than across} The base veneer was done the same way. Height 35" $350-450

086 C.1876, Southern Calendar Co., St. Louis, Missouri., Fashion No. 2 calendar clock in fair condition, with restorations. The outer bezels and base have lost their walnut veneer, and been stained to match the rest of the case; center finial tip missing. Both dials were papered over around 20 years ago and are discoloring; calendar hand is a replacement. In original condition, we would expect this clock to bring around $1500 Height 31" $550-750

087 C.1878 Southern Calendar Clock Co., St. Louis, Missouri. Fashion calendar No. 4. This clock is in nice restored condition, but will need some additional attention. Both dials have been repainted {nice job} and two finials have lost part of the their tips; center finial is in 2 pieces and needs gluing; base molding with a chip. The egg shape calendar gear for the movement is off the clock and in a bag with its drive gear; this will require professional attention. Calendar hand is a replacement and a bit loose on the shaft. The clock has nice nickel plated damascene pendulum. Attractive item that you can finish into a $2500 clock. Height 32 " $1000-1500

087a C.1880 Ithaca Calendar Clock Co., Ithaca, N.Y.: INDEX double dial calendar clock. The door glass appears to be new and a small gingerbread top piece has been replaced [whoever made this little top piece didn't know what it should look like, and he didn't do too bad with his guess]. The clock has its original nickel plated pendulum and hanger. Compare this early "Index" clock to lot 407, the later model. This one has the nicely carved splats on the side instead of turned half columns. Original dials and rollers; some discoloration on top dial. A very attractive clock, that can be improved with modest restoration. Height 33" $1200-1600

088 C.1890, German, Gustav Becker, 2-weight with bim-bam gong strike, as-found. This clock came to us from storage and is absent glass except over the dial. It has an interesting 2-note strike mechanism with a helper spring added behind the rear plate {not all that uncommon on Beckers at this time}. Many repairmen removed the device, as it does require set-up., ie you have to start a new cord with the spring wound down etc. Note the dial center has been changed to a plain piece of brass and painted gold; bob with a couple of dents; weights with cup-hooks that need replacing; crutch poorly repaired with solder, but can be saved by a good workman; dirty. Height 44" $400-600

089 C.1900, English, Fusee Skeleton Clock with passing strike and dome. The cord had broken on this clock when it arrived, and we tied a knot in it and it took off running {will need replacing for long term use}. Has an attractive rafter frame design and a silvered dial; the round wooden base with an ivory center, now with the name of Dent, Bow St, London [note clock not made nor sold by Dent]. Height of clock and base 13½", total with dome, 15¼". [Dome shows in detail image] $750-1000

089a C.1900, English, Fusee Skeleton Clock with passing strike, less dome. The clock is mounted to its original oval wooden base, now with C.1840, carved wooden paw feet, gilded.

089b C.1890, Tiffany & Co., New York, signed on movement and dial, a once elegant marble and bronze clock. Note the bottom left return has the last couple inches of marble missing. The crystal is cracked and only one strap is holding the movement in {second one is inside the case}. This clock is well made and can be brought back to its former glory. Retains finely pierced and engraved hands and original pendulum #8130 matches movement serial number. The main case is sound and with finely detailed cast friezes of Romans in Egypt. Runs OK but needs cleaning. Weighs 50 lb. Height 18" $300-400

090 C.1840, Mass area Weight Banjo, with restorations. This must be the 3^rd dial on this clock, based on the extra holes in the case; this dial probably from 1910 or so. This case retains original hinged throat and lower door. Worst part is the hour pipe and gear which have been poorly repaired with soft solder - a good machinist could make a new hub/spoke assembly. Amazingly it runs as-is. Ht 34" $500-700

091 Mixed banjo lot:, a C.1855 banjo movement, now in a C.1920 case, painted gray and with new rope front throat and door. Bezel latch is broken. It has a great $200 set of Mt. Vernon tablets, and is cosmetically attractive. Use as parts or enjoy as-is. Ht 34" $400-600

094 C.1850, J. C. Brown Forestville, CT , 8-day beehive clock in generally good original condition. Clock retains nice dial with a little paint damage near the left winding hole along with original hands. Movement is stamped Forestville; needs a new suspension wire. Case is veneered in rosewood with no veneer damage. Label is dark but readable, and with a tear. Except for the cut glass tablet, which is a proper hand-made replacement, this is a good original clock. One of the better Saturday night clocks. Height 18¾" $300-500

095 C.1948, Lux Clock Mfg Co., Waterbury, Conn, Organ Grinder and Monkey animated alarm clock, in generally good original condition with superb dial. The black and chrome case has some minor rust and the black paint is worn from the sides, a result of holding the clock to wind it.

Height 4 ½" $125-175

097 C.1935, Lux Clock Mfg Co., Waterbury, Conn., animated desk clock "HAPPY DAYS", with two beer drinkers standing either side of a large beer barrel, labeled "3 point 2", the left drinker's arm is supposed to lift his mug to his lips as it ticks, but is jammed….will need attention. The dial itself has turned a tan color from age, and has a water stain on the left margin, but is still quite colorful. A desirable model. Height 3 ¾" $100-150

098 C.1905, German, Gustav Becker, Berlin style free swinger, with restoration, as-found. The movement of this clock was cleaned may be 20 years ago by "assembled immersion" and is very gummy. You can eek a "tick" out of it and the springs are both still good. The walnut case has been refinished, is missing a straight molding across the door, and the top trim is new, of solid walnut, and a bit too small for the clock. The well made solid plate movement has cut pinions and bears serial number 1,888,605 plus Becker's medal of honor. The floral pattern on the pendulum matches the dial center. With label of Max Busse, Uhrmacher, Berlin. Will respond to restoration. Height 34" $350-450

099 C.1895, German, "F.M.S." Berlin style free swinger, with restorations. The top trim [all 15"] was made around 20 years ago of solid walnut {not a bad job really}. The balance of the clock is original and in very good condition; note embossed dial center with flowers and the pendulum with an embossed lady in a swing. If this had been all original, we would have expected it to bring around $1000. Ht 45" $500-700

100 C.1880, German, Gustav Becker, 2-weight wall regulator in the Alt Deutsch style, as-found. This is a fabulous LOOKING clock, with great burled walnut veneer, and original finish {dirty}. But the movement is not original to the case {fits OK}; there are extra holes behind the movement. Having said that, this is a good early Becker movement with his early fancy hands. From storage, this will need cleaning and suspension spring prior to operation. Some nicks and scrapes; pendulum with center dent; +ht 53" $500-700

101 C.1900, French, for Tiffany & Co., {dial signature weak and partially rubbed off}, 4-glass crystal regulator in good original condition. The porcelain dial is otherwise very good with no chips nor cracks and the case retains much of its gold wash. Beveled glass is good, except for two minor, internal cracks on side glasses only {barely noticeable}. Quality round movement by Pons is complete and sound, but would benefit from cleaning. Original mercury pendulum retains xlnt gilding; vials intact. Very well made; movement and pendulum numbered 981. Ht 11" $300-400

102 Mixed lot: A 3-weight grand sonnerie clock, on which the case back and sides are old, but the bottom, top and door have been newly made in Hungary after the Baroque style. Moreover, it has a good Viennese movement, which has been married to a nice embossed Becker dial with matched embossing on weights and pendulum. This is a GOOD looking clock, and seems to run and strike OK {could stand service}, and we have it in this position in the sale to appeal to the person who could not afford a 100% antique Baroque clock, which seem to bring over $2500. Height 51" $1000-1500

102a Mixed lot: a C.1900 Junghans 2-Weight movement in a new Hungarian 2^nd Baroque case. We looked at this long and hard and the carving is exceptional and 100 years from now, no-one will know the difference. When you shine a flash light down the seam along the back you can see that the side stretchers are newly cut, and there is no dirt nor fly specs on the case. Has a nice match engraved dial center, pendulum and weights. If this clock were all original, it would be worth $2000, and we are basing our estimate on the value of the movement set-up and a new case. If the lack of originality does not bother you, this is a very good looking clock. Height 47" $700-900

103 C.1890, German 1/4 Striking 2-weight wall regulator in the Alt Deutsch style, as-found. This clock came from storage and was missing weights and pulleys, and we are providing new ones. The dial had a major chip at 8 which has been repaired, and the bezel with a bend as well. The case is quite attractive and with original finish and retains original [and super] top piece. But the best part is the movement, which {when cleaned} will give you bim-bam quarter striking on two straight steel rods. Movement is original to the case; these are uncommon, and the estimate reflects the restoration needed. Height 51" $600-800

104 C.1870, Austrian, 1-Weight Vienna Regulator in transitional style with 4 inward facing finials. This clock is another that came to us from storage in Lucerne, Switzerland. The top and finials are recent {well done by a Swiss cabinet maker}; movement is dirty and suspension spring needs re-newing {about one buck for a spring}. The well made Viennese movement is dirty but sound and will clean up nicely. Perfect porcelain dial. Lots of "look" for the money. Ht 46" $400-600

105 C.1910, Swiss, Henri Blanc, Geneva, a well made quarter striking walnut wall clock. This clock got shaken up a bit in shipment and one of the two coiled gongs broke off and will need replacement. The movement itself is very nicely made with thick plates and cut pinions and Graham escapement with adjustable pallets. With interesting nouveau style pendulum. Runs but would benefit from service. Some restoration will pay big dividends on this extremely attractive clock; height 42" $400-600

106 C.1868, German, Gustav Becker 2-weight wall regulator in the Alt Deutsch style. This is a fairly early Becker, serial number 111989, and has his early style 8" dial with first pattern hands. The movement is original to the case, but the mounting bracket has been moved down about a half inch for some reason [an extra set of holes is just visible]. The case itself has been refinished and could use some more attention. Note great book matched veneer in case back. There is no indication the clock ever had a top, or it was perhaps glued on and has broken away-- can't tell. Height 40" $500-700

107 C.1890, German, 2-Weight "Vienna Regulator", with restorations. Note the top trim is newly made by a creative cabinet maker, and stained to look old. The movement is a high quality 80 beat unit, with seconds hand, no maker ID, but with serial #96982; movement is original to the case. The fired porcelain dial is original and in perfect condition, as is the bezel. Internet viewers will see that the lacquer on the bob is discolored, but there are NO dents and the bob will polish nicely. We see clocks similar to this bringing $1000 on eBayâ, and feel our estimate accurately reflects the collector market; will need cleaning prior to use. Height 54" $500-700

108 C.1890, Mixed Lot: A good Lenzkirch 2-weight movement, serial #1,201,322, hands, bracket, pendulum, pulleys and case back , now in a later German case of lower quality, the glue joints having failed and needing attention. The second hand is missing {Timesavers carries a good one, #13018}. Old weights do not match; gong has broken off the standard. Case back has book matched burled veneer. Your options are to finish restoring this clock, or use the movement assembly in a better case. Height 53" $400-600

109 C.1880, German, 1-Weight "Vienna Regulator", as-found in fair to poor condition. The case has been wet, back warped a bit and case refinished poorly; no stabilizers; tip of rt finial missing. Movement is dirty; needs suspension spring {$2}. Having said all of that, it is a well made movement, original to case, with maintaining power, a good dial and original hands, weight, pulley, pend. {tail of minute hand is broken off}. For the beginning collector, this would be a good looking starter regulator for something under $500. Height 44" $350-450

110 C.1900, German, Gustav Becker, 2-Weight wall regulator in Alt Deutsch style. This clock is generally in good condition, from storage in Lucerne. The top has been restored and the dowels have been replaced in the finials; the eagle is a replacement. The movement is Becker's typical high quality unit with maintaining power, and seconds hand; the porcelain dial is perfect with "G-B" trademark and hands and pendulum are original as well. The bottom of the case has a repair sticker from Lausanne, Switzerland, and the "gut" still looks OK. Height 53" $600-800

111 C.1850, French, Gilt Spelter with bronze accents, figural clock, hunter motif. This clock has been disassembled and sprayed gold. The spelter hunter has a heavy coat of copper that is oxidized, and the plume for his hat and his flint-lock rifle are ormolu. Note he is holding his dead prey – a pheasant. The well made bell strike movement has a silk thread suspension, and runs and strikes. The tip of the minute shaft will need attention, as a soft retainer pin has been sheared off even with the shaft and needs drifting out; amazingly the original hands have not gotten lost. This clock has an elegant look for this price range; height 18½" $175-275

112 C.1865, French, Berrolla, Paris, unusual open frame clock, less dome. All supports {front and back}, dial plate and pendulum are profusely engraved with deep scroll pattern engraving. This clock suffered some transit damage and the bezel has a front to back bend that is pushing the dial into the hands {correctable}. The quality bell strike movement is signed Berrolla a' Paris, as is the 9" porcelain dial. The fancy pendulum appears to have had a mid pendulum adjustment that has been disabled in favor of bottom adjustment. This is a large and impressive clock that merits your attention for restoration; ht 19" $750-1000

113 C.1850, Massachusetts Banjo clock with restorations. The movement appears original to the case. The pendulum stick is a mid-20^th century replacement and looks OK. The Mt. Vernon tablets are "home-made" and on the primitive side. The fruitwood case has rosewood graining that is in decent shape. Looks to be a period dial. With an old repair label from a Philadelphia jeweler. Not a bad looking weight banjo. Height 29" $500-750

114 C.1890, German, Lenzkirch, 2-Weight "Vienna Regularot", as found. Although the well made movement is original to the case, the case itself is quite dirty and the 'top' trim is newly made out of a veneered drawer front with added trim. Pendulum with some dents. Attractive book matched veneer in back; original case hardware intact. Signed movement is serial number 1,062,161; hammer is distressed, bezel with side dent; fancy gong intact. Lots of potential; height 54" $400-600

115 C.1890, Vienna 3-Weight Regulator in generally good condition. Movement needs cleaning, but this is by far the best Vienna selling today {Saturday}. Movement is original to the case, and with original hands, pulleys, weights and good porcelain dial. The case has had a couple of moldings replaced, but is generally original; has some sticky stain on the base that makes it look darker; couple small dents in bob; should clean up with a minimum of effort. Ht 53" $1000-1500

116 C.1840, English, Fusee Drop Dial in good original condition but lacking pendulum. The bezel has cracked and been glued, but the original painted dial is good, as well as the hands. Has a well made movement with heavy baluster pillars and shaped plates {see detail}. The mahogany case has string brass in lay with floral corners. Ht 19" $250-350

117 C.1910, Seth Thomas "10-Inch Octagon Gilt" in good original condition. There are a couple of minor flakes on the original dial, and some wear to the numerals, however, clock retains original finish, gilding, tablet, label, pend etc. Note the dial has separated from the bezel and will need attention. Interestingly, the label has an extra red stamp: "Made in America". An ever-popular model. Height 21 ½" $200-250

118 C.1900, German, Berlin Style "Free Swinger", as-found. Despite lacking the 8" top piece, the balance of the clock is all original and sound. The finish is a bit crazed and dirty, and the movement needs service {does run}. Note dial center and pendulum with Art Nouveau pattern. Has potential. Height 25" $350-550

119 C.1885, French, Japy, Fancy Black marble clock, with bronze columns standing all around the curved sides, and surmounted with a roman soldier with staff in his right hand. The well made Japy movement striking the hours and halves on a gong; movement sound but would benefit from service. The case itself is complete, but the base molding has several chips that will need attention, and a shadow appears where there was once a presentation plaque. Other than the last items, the case is excellent and smooth. Fancy dial with gilt bronze center. Heavy; special shipping required; height 18" $300-500

120 C.1885, N. Muller's Sons, New York. An unusual brass, onyx and iron clock by one of Americas most artistic makers. The back is cast iron, the sides, front and top are heavy cast brass, machined to shape, and the front with two inserts of green/black onyx. The porcelain dial suffered and has a chip at 3 and the dial center has cracks. Note open escapement on dial, and unique fast/slow adjustment below the center shaft. The 8-day movement of basic Connecticut design has open springs, and strikes the hours and halves on a cathedral gong. Heavy and well made; runs fine. Ht 14 ½" $275-375

121 C.1880, F. Kroeber, New York, "Cabinet #5" in fair to good original condition.. Here are the hurts: top side fenders missing, hands, dial/bezel assembly from another clock. The balance of the case and the movement are original and note the wonderful rear label. The patient workman can bring this clock back. Does run and strike; height 12 ½" $175-275

122 C.1880, F. Kroeber, New York, "WINONA" walnut parlor clock in good condition, with original cut glass pendulum. There is a small 2" piece of carved molding that has been replaced top right side {notice it is a little darker than the rest of the case}, and the case has been refinished, and the dial re-papered. The clock is otherwise complete and sound, with full rear instruction label and with model label about 85%. The large Kroeber movement in good running order, however the top half of the winding stops has been removed by a workman who did not know how to set them. Would be $500 if original. Ht 20" $175-275

122a C.1890 F. Kroeber Clock Co., New York, N.Y., FLORETTA, 8-day walnut shelf clock. The clock has a new 5" paper dial and the case has been stripped of its finish, and with some steel wool marks on the walnut. Best features are a signed beat scale {xlnt} and a Jacot's regulator pendulum with some wear on its paper dial. Retains nice original tablet. Would be $400 if the finish was original. Height 20" $175-275

123 C.1910, German, Spring Driven Wall regulator in a walnut case with an earlier top {looks OK}. The brass dial center has Art Nouveau designs, and the pendulum is embossed with a lovely Nouveau lady with roses in her hair. The 8-day movement with count wheel strike is dirty, but complete and sound. Ht 38" $250-350

123a C.1900, German "R-A" Wall Regulator, rod strike in generally good restored condition. The walnut case has been refinished; retains old top and finials. The well made Kienzle movement has solid plates and cut pinions, runs and strikes OK, but would benefit from service. Porcelain dial is perfect; hands original. One molding on the very top has split and been reglued. Height 44" $275-375

123b C.1876, Seth Thomas Sons & Co., New York, TUCKER BRONZE, as-found. See detail image; this clock is missing part of the finial on top and the bottom of the finial has been reversed to make it look complete; clock is missing a pendulum. Otherwise it is complete and sound, ticks and strikes on a bell. Worth $350 if complete; height 12" $150-200

124 C.1870, German, Berlin style weight regulator in the style of 1840 Vienna regulator. These slim cases with brass inlay or zinc decorations are most often seen in the Berlin area. This case is in a bit of distress, the brass inlay is loose and the top molding is missing. Best part is a 15 day movement with extra large great wheel. Some small chips around the winding hole, otherwise the porcelain dial is fine. Weight is distressed; pulley homemade. Height 38" Would be $1000 if original $400-600

125 C.1890, German, 1-weight Wall Regulator in the Viennese style. Not a bad looking clock, but the movement has been improperly assembled with the maintaining pawl behind the great wheel, and causing it to bind. Nothing is broken, but the movement will have to be taken down and re-assembled to put it in operation. The movement is well made with seconds bit and fancy porcelain dial with red fleur-de-lis trim between the numerals. Finally, the movement is not original to the case, extra holes showing the previous installation. Will make into a good looking decorator Vienna; height 47" $400-500

126 C.1880, German, 1-weight Wall Regulator in the Viennese style. This is a GREAT looking clock with original carved top and finish. And it has a well made Gustav Becker movement, serial number 396688. However, this is the second movement in the case, and there is an extra set of holes in the case back. Although such a change bothers the purist, these cases were all the same basic dimensions, and any standard 80 beat German movement will operate perfectly in the case. Movement retains original hands, pendulum, and early brass roller winding crank. Right case glass is loose [not broken] and needs attaching; there are hairlines on the dial visible on close inspection. Ht 48" $500-700

127 C.1890, Austrian, Gebruder Resch, Remember trademark "2-Weight Vienna Regulator". The top has been recently made of old moldings and doesn't look too bad. Rest of clock is in good original condition. The well made movement, serial number 271,307, with remember trademark, clean and running, with a board on the back of the case for reinforcement; hands are modern German replacements; pend stick new. The dial has some hairline cracks, but nothing too objectionable. Ht 49" $500-750

127a C.1850, Chauncey Jerome, New Haven, a 30 hour 2-weight OOG in very good condition. Has a very nice reproduction floral tablet with no flaking, original wooden dial with absolutely no touch-up and a good label that is a bright as a new dollar. There is evidence of a couple of minor veneer repairs, but overall the crotch mahogany is very good, nicely rubbed out. Ht 25" $125-175

127b C.1910, German, Hamburg-American Clock Co., miniature 30-hour "R-A" wall regulator in a walnut case with cast door trim and a cast female bust on the top, and all in good original condition. There are minor nicks and scrapes to the case and to the paper dial, but this is basically as-found and a good "beginner level" clock. Height 24" $175-275

127c C.1890, German, Walnut Wall Regulator with "R-A" pendulum, restored. The case has been refinished and the finials newly turned by a very good cabinet maker. The well made movement has solid plates and cut pinions; good porcelain chapter ring, but the dial center has been replaced with a piece of painted tin {you can't tell until you tap it}; bezel has a small dent on one side. Strikes the hours and halves on a coiled gong. In all original condition, these have been bringing around $700, so our estimate reflects the restoration. Height 37" $275-375

127d C.1915, E. Ingraham & Co., NYANZA time-piece banjo in very good original condition. The only things that keeps this from being excellent are a couple of small dings in the pendulum. Retains original dial, tablets, hands, and signed Ingraham key. From a home in Methuen; a great beginners banjo clock; ht 39" $350-450

127e C.1920, Sessions "Home Assortment" mini store regulator in excellent original condition. Retains original dial, hands, pendulum, tablet, label and finish. 8-day time and strike. Another great beginner's clock. Height 19" $175-275

127f C.1900, E. N. Welch for the Colby Wringer Company, a good original 8-day walnut gingerbread clock. Someone recently removed both rear labels which is a mystery to me {the old glue is still clean}. The original dial is a bit faded. This is an alarm model with all components intact. The pendulum, made on special order by Welch, has "Colby Wringer Co" cast right in; the glass insert is intact. A good looking Welch walnut, complete with all trim and knobbies. Will need cleaning. Ht 22" $150-200

127g C.1900, E. Ingraham & Co., "Dew Drop" timepiece in generally good condition. The case retains its original rosewood graining over poplar. Label is absent, and the dial has been re-papered; dial pan, movement, hands, etc original. Height 23½" $200-300

127h C.1900, Seth Thomas Adamantine mantel clock in good as-found condition. This clock needs cleaning, but is complete and sound with the cello veneer in good condition. Color is light mottled brown. Label on rear. Ht 10 ½" $100-150

127i C.1885, Seth Thomas City Series OMAHA in oak, in generally good original condition. The top left return trim has been newly made [looks OK]. At first we thought the tablet was incorrect, however, the "Denver" model uses this tablet, and such items were often offered as options. The finish and gilding are all original; inside label is a bit chewed up by someone who wound the clock weekly and tossed the key back inside. Dial is original and pendulum correct. Ht 19" $200-300

127j C.1900, German, Musical Wall Clock in the Alt Deutsch style. This is an attractive case with original finish and finials {eagle is a replacement}. The small cylinder music box and time movement are attached to another spacer of walnut that is screwed to the backboard, so we are unsure if the movement is original. These points aside, it seems to run fine, and plays a delightful tune on the hour. Note the music box is driven by the large "strike" spring, rather than a separate movement and is really rather ingenious. Height 39" $400-500

127k C.1900, French, Oak Oval Frame wall clock with hand carvings top and bottom. Note the top carving had come off at some time and the Frenchman who put it back on had consumed too much wine, and it is over 2" to the right of center. Otherwise this is a LARGE and interesting clock, with a 12" dial and 33" overall length. Retails a good French movement and strikes the hours and halves on a gong. Note porcelain numeral III is turned slightly in photo -- it is not damaged. Ht 33" $225-325

127m C.1900, French, for the English market sold by J. J. Wainwright & Co., Cambridge St, Birmingham; name on barometer dial and inside rear dust cover. This is a time and strike clock with defective lever platform. The iron case is sound with no breaks, barometer seems Ok, dial is perfect, thermometer intact. You will need to invest in a new platform. Height 25" $175-275

128 Mixed lot: a C.1850 Howard and Davis movement, now in a C1985 oversize case. We have seen a half dozen of these 4½ foot cases floating around, but are unsure who made them. The case workmanship is generally good, but the Republicans would certainly outlaw the marriage of movement and case. The movement is for a #4 banjo and has been installed upside down, the crutch rotated 180° {note it winds at 7 now}. Good parts for other clocks. Height 52" $400-600

129 C.1915, Seth Thomas Chime Clock No. 1, Special, 4-bell sonora in good original condition. There are some corner and edge chips to the adamantine veneer. The cream colored porcelain dial is excellent. You may see full details on the No. 1 in Ly's Seth Thomas book {1996}, page 212, including photos of the #89 time and strike movement and the #90 chime movement. Minor variation is that this case has ball feet used on the standard #1. Height 13½" $350-450

130 C.1920, Wm L. Gilbert Clock Co., "Model 220-A" black mantle alarm clock in excellent original condition. This was only a $4 clock when new, and this one looks like it spent most of its life in a drawer. There are very minor nicks and scrapes, not objectionable; dial is like new and finish is original. Its only shortcoming is that it is fully wound and only ticks and stops; the alarm rings loudly, and with a selector for "Stop, Intermittent, or Continuous". This is a canister alarm held in a black lacquered poplar case by screws from the rear. Cute little clock for the beginning collector. Height 8 ¼" $90-120

131 C.1930, Belgian, Pigeon Timer in original oak lock box, both with serial number 17409. This is a 12 pigeon recorder, and 8 of the tiny aluminum canisters for the pigeons leg are still intact inside. Uses circular graph paper for recording, but no sheets are present. Although pigeon racing is popular here, it is the Rage in Asia, and a champion pigeon can bring $10,000 for breeding stock. Brand name "Belgica" Canister = 6"; height of box 7" $200-300

132 C.1895, Ansonia, Oak Gingerbread clock, nicely restored and in good running order. The case has been professionally refinished to golden oak, and retains original tablet and dial. Rear label is absent. This case predates the steam pressed models, and is well cut with incising, no replaced moldings. The dial is darkened slightly from age, but still fully legible. A great clock for the beginning collector. Height 22" $125-175

133 C.1880, French, a good Walnut Cartel clock with double reeded side columns and banister style top. This is roughly the same time period as lot 26 & 27. The movement is a robust unit with solid square plates and anchor escapement. The twelve porcelain numerals are attached to a round wooden dial, and the hands are pierced brass; some old wood worm damage in the lower part of the case; no evidence of activity at this point. Generally very good condition. Height 23" $300-500

134 C.1850, Austrian, Late Biedermeier one weight timepiece, restored. This clock and those that immediately follow were sent by a retail clock shop that has cleaned and restrung the clocks, made minor repairs and the clocks are running. The crank is a bit too large in diameter for this one which makes winding difficult, but the dial is xlnt, nice early five point pulley. The pendulum stick has a scab repair near the top. Super early beat scale; case stabilizers intact. Ht 39" $600-800

135 Mixed Lot, German, C.1880, Gustav Becker 2-weight movement, serial 482797, now in a C.1920 deco style oak veneered case with 5 panes of beveled glass. Has single straight rod strike. The movement is mounted on a ¾" board in the back of the case. Glaze coat over dial is failing and the numerals are fading; other minor hairlines. New pulleys. Movement is clean and running. Height 33" $300-400

136 Mixed lot: C.1910, Gustav Becker 2-weight movement, with original hands, dial and seconds bit, now in a C. 1925 mahogany case, with 3 panes of heavy beveled glass {note one weight is out of view behind a walnut pillar}. This is also the second movement to be installed in this case, as there is an extra set of holes in the back. New Pulleys. Clean and running. Ht 37" $300-400

137 C.1920, Austrian, Gebruder Resch {Remember} 2-weight wall regulator in very good original condition, clean and running. Has nice old embossed pulleys and melodious rod strike. The walnut veneer over pine case has an attractive ripple molding surrounding the dial. A good example of clocks from this era; running. Ht 34¼" $400-600

138 Mixed lot: C.1880 Gustav Becker 2-weight movement, serial #795227, now in a C.1920 golden oak case with 6 panes of heavy beveled glass in a brass frame. The dial, hands and pendulum appear refinished in the 20's style with some black stenciling; brass covered weights are plain. Many clocks were "updated" in the 20's, the movement put in a more modern case such as this….. and many of the Victorian cases had been damaged in WWI. Minor nicks and scratches in case; clean and running. Height 34¾" $400-600

139 C.1880, Austrian, 2-weight "Vienna" in the Alt Deutsch style. This is another in this series of clocks from a retail shop that has been cleaned and seems to be running. However, the movement is not original to the case {fits fine}. It is a well made Viennese movement. The top to the walnut case is old, but from another clock {second set of holes}, however it looks OK. A good looking decorative clock for someone unconcerned over the restorations. Height 37" $400-600

140 Mixed lot: C.1885, Austrian, Remember 2-weight movement, now in a C.1920 mahogany art deco style case with 5 panes of beveled glass in an attractive oval pattern. The door has some small cracks & bubbles in the mahogany veneer that you can live with. New pulleys, clean and running; height 36" $350-550

141 Mixed lot: C.1880, Remember, 2-weight movement, now in a C.1920 walnut Jugendstil case with carved floral insert in the key-lock door, and a carved wreath on the base. The movement is mounted to a piece of plywood in the case back. Clean and ticking. Height 36" $350-550

142 C.1920, Gustav Becker, Deco Box Regulator, 2-weight time and strike on a straight steel rod. This is among the better of this series. Door has 11 pieces of beveled glass in a brass frame. The pendulum stick got damaged and has been wired together at the top, but this is a minor defect that can be easily corrected. Retains a super porcelain dial. Especially nice light oak case; original pulleys; running. Height 33 ½" $500-700

143 Mixed lot: C.1880 Austrian 2-weight movement, now in a C.1930 made-to-order solid ash case with etched glass in the door; the door hung with a full length piano hinge. The movement is mounted on 2 blocks of wood in the case back. Although the case is not so old, it looks fine and the movement is clean and running. Height 34" $300-500

144 A C.1920, Lenzkirch 2-weight Grandfather clock MOVEMENT, for which a tall case has been made, C.1991 by Varne Kimmick. The Edwardian lines of the case hide the fact that it is made of solid walnut and very heavy. The trim moldings are from Carpenter's Supply, adapted to fit the case. Two of the chime rods {standard dimension} are broken off and in the bottom of the case. Otherwise the clock is complete and sound and in running order. The heavy well made movement bears the Lenzkirch trademark, as does the gong assembly. Our estimate figures around $300 for the movement and the balance for the case. Height 82" $400-600

145 C.1840, Birge, Mallory & Co., Bristol, Conn., triple decker clock. This clock has had a lot of restoration. The eagle splat and parts of the top are new. The doors appear to have been stripped of their veneer and new veneer applied in the wrong direction along with the addition of moldings to support the glass. The feet and finials may be incorrect. The weights are not original. The center tablet is exceptional {with some flakes}, the lower tablet painted on old glass to match the center. It has a signed strap brass movement, nice dial and hands not a bad looking clock; very nice label. Height 40" $500-700

146 C.1909 Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Conn., ETON model. This 8-day mahogany mantle clock was made for Shreve, Crump & Low Company, Boston. The clock still has its old crackled finish and a pretty inlay and brass feet. The porcelain dial has a small flake in the margin above 1 that can be dealt with. A very pretty clock. Height 10" $100-200

147 C.1890 Ingraham Clock Co., Bristol, Conn. Liberty Walnut shelf clock, 8-day T/S/Alarm with restoration. This clock is in nice condition with original glass of the Statute of Liberty. The dial has a new paper. The label inside the case states: 8-day Liberty , Charles F. Adams, Erie, PA. Mr. Adams must have been a retailer or an agent in the area. Note the little keystone piece of walnut at top is new and the ladies bust is new from a supply house. Runs fine. Ht 21" $100-150

148 A Late 20^th Century reproduction of a Seth Thomas VIOLIN clock, using an antique Seth Thomas 8-day movement and pendulum. These come in all levels of quality, and this one rates about a 6 out of 10, and doesn't look so bad. Runs and strikes; ht 31" $350-450

149 C.1833, George Marsh & Co., Farmington, Conn., 30-hour wood movement Column and Splat clock. The clock has lost its original stenciling and the lower glass has been replaced {with a garish clipper ship}. There has been some veneer repair to the case. The eagle hands are old, painted a couple of times. The original bell has been replaced with a gong rod off a black mantle clock. Seems to run. Excellent label. Height 33" $125-175

150 C.1955, German, {Lot of two} mechanical bird cages, with a pair of singing birds inside. These birds are from a home on Long Island and have been setting on a shelf for many years. Although complete and original, they are NOT functioning despite being fully wound. Although we did not look inside, past experience has shown that the plastic bellows inside are difficult to replace. Clock-work mechanism has selector for intermittent or constant singing. Height 10½" $175-275 both

151 C.1870, E. N. Welch, 30-hour Steeple in good condition. The case has been stripped and needs more finish and there are a few veneer chips, and some veneer repairs. However, the dial, hands, & label are original. The old tablet, for the English market, is of the Royal Crest, with rearing lion and unicorn either side of the crown – it has some flaking, and has been re-blacked from the rear, but is still pretty good. Generally in good condition, a little case work will improve it a lot. Running and striking; height 19 ¼" $125-175

152 C.1900, German, Quarter Striking Walnut bracket clock in architectural style, and in fair to good condition. This clock runs OK, and retains original finish, but suffered some wood worm damage some time ago {none appear to be active}, mostly in the molding surrounding the front door. The heavy full plate movement is marked simply Deutsch Reich Patent, and the dial has cast cherub spandrels and silvered chapter ring in the English style. The walnut veneer has very attractive grain. Ht 15" $175-275

153 C.1900, Ansonia RICHELIEU, enameled iron clock in excellent restored condition. The iron case has been nicely refinished and polished. The movement is the small round 9-day model and has been cleaned and is in good running order. The porcelain dial is prefect. The only minor shortcoming is the absence of a rear dust cover. Ready for your home or shop, an inexpensive beginner's clock; height 9" Ly price = $300, Est = $175-225

154 C.1934 {dated}, August C. Keebler, Chicago, Blue Bird with Oak Leaves, Special Edition rocking bird clock, in very good original condition. Minor wear along the edges, commensurate with age. "A Century of Progess" decal on pendulum is flaking. Height 6" 15cm} $100-200

Clock retains original coloring in virtually 'like-new' condition. The label on the pendulum has a couple of flakes. Height 6" $100-200

156 C.1933 {dated} August C. Keebler, Chicago, Blue Bird with maple Leaves, in excellent original condition. This is the third in this series. Note great rear label "A Century of Progress", and nest, top right with 3 chicks. Ht 6" $100-200

162 C.1938, Lux Clock Mfg Co., Waterbury, Conn BANJO CLOCK, in excellent original condition. We've had several of these over the years, but this is certainly the nicest I have seen in a while. Use as wall hanger or paperweight. Ht 7 ½" $175-275

164 C.1860 Ansonia Brass Co., Ansonia Conn. 8- day round top shelf clock. This clock is veneered in rosewood with veneer damage confined to the base. The two glasses are original with the lower tablet being especially nice. Part of the door knob is missing. The Ansonia Brass label is uncommon, generally appearing on clocks made prior to and during the Civil War. Good label and great original dial. This will restore to a nice clock. Height 18" $150-200

165 C.1900, Lockwood & Almquist, New York., 30-day oak wall clock, certainly made under contract by Seth Thomas. This clock contains an impressive movement, large, double spring job. We could not find the movement listed in any of the Seth Thomas books, but looks like their work, screws, pendulum, hands, etc. The case is in good condition, although it has a heavy coat of spar varnish, as it had been mounted out doors on a garage. Still runs. Height 18" $300-400

166 C.1820, Austrian, 2-Train Mantel clock, needing work. Some one made a pendulum out of a brooch and wire which will need replacing. The gold leaf portions have been crudely brushed with gold paint. The dial was originally porcelain, is now painted card stock, and stained; outer bezel missing altogether; hands do not match. Interestingly, the little shadow box at top still has its original dried flowers and there is a print at top of Vienna and the Danube River, and a print in the base of a Royal Castle. This clock is a real project, but could be restored to elegance by a patient workman. Height 25" $275-375

167 C.1820, Austrian, 3-Tr Grand Sonnerie mantel clock, as-found. This clock is generally quite good compared to the previous lot; retains original dial and hands [tip of minute hand broken away]; bezel and crystal intact. The only major defect is the pendulum, now an American bob on a wire. The 2 little shadow boxes retain their silk flowers and the center reverse painting of a castle is intact. Dial chips around winding holes. Height 25" $750-1000

168 C.1900, German, Picture Frame clock with reverse painted dial and scene on glass. Has a typical 30 hour wooden plate movement with brass wheels. Weights are old; chains and pendulum are new. Needs a gong and gong hammer. From experience these clocks do not ship well with this glass dial and you should consider bidding in person. Height of case only 14" $175-275

169 C.1901 Ansonia Clock Co., Ansonia, Conn., TRIUMPH walnut parlor clock, alarm, with restoration. The entire base [bottom 3"] was newly made by a local industrial arts teacher who copied an original exactly and matched the color very well with the rest of the case. A student then installed the 2 movements with new phillips screws {an easily correctable situation}. Old dial is dark. Stud of one of the old statues has broken off; otherwise original and running. Fragments of label on rear. Height 25" $200-300

171 C.1900, E. Howard & Co, Boston, Movement only. From a marble dial clock with 11 ½" pendulum. This movement was nickel plated and part of the plating has worn away, so it appears mottled in the photo. Note movement retains through the dial F/S adjustment intact, and with pulley. Plates = 6¼ x 4½", depth from winding arbor tip to rear = 4" $300-400

172 Mixed lot: C.1880 Austrian 2-weight movement, now in a C.1920 deco style box case, walnut veneer over pine. This case has several chips and bubbles in the veneer that need attention.

175 C.1940, James Remind-O-Clock, 110 volt which can be set to illuminate a light at 5 minute intervals in a twelve hour period. For persons into medication reminders, or other interval functions, this is a well made clock. The case has its share of nicks and scrapes, but the movement is still running fine. Although not antique, few of these survived the move to quartz and then computer reminders. Height 10½" $150-200

176 C.1930, Newark Clock Co., USA, 110v. electric kitchen clock, restored with new cord. This clock has Dutch scenes, windmills and sailboats. Best part is that it runs and you don't have to wind it. The Dutch "plate" is sound with no cracks. Colorful; ht 10" $60-80

The dial with repairs and lacquered over; cast bezel; hands are new; height approx 3 ft. $175-275

Top and center panels are mounted as doors with brass gate hinges. Movement is clean and running. This is an unusual long drop 2-weight movement. The clock won a 2^nd place ribbon in the '96 New Mexico State Fair that is included; battery clock hands are loose on the movement; weights are a bit too large and rub against each other; height approx 3 feet. $200-300

181 C.1950, Japan, Tezuka Clock Co, POPPO, winking eye clock, one day, weight driven, as-found. The right eye moves back and forth, but the left eye is catching on something. The original finish, weight, dial etc are fine. Height of clock and pendulum 13" $90-120

Height 29" $150-250

Height 13" $125-225

181c C.1875 E. N. Welch Manufacturing Co., Forestville, Conn. Parepa, V.P. walnut shelf clock, as-found. This clock has lost its side columns {has finials in their place}, the top finial is not original, rosewood veneer missing from front surface, graining gone from base; finish stripped; back now plywood. The dial has some flaking and one of the hands is not original. It does have a nice glass and brass pendulum; gilt tablet in backwards, don't wash this side!! Looks decent in photo, but will require some major work to bring it up to "par-epa". Ht 23" Parts worth: $100-200

181d C.1950, German, novelty "Flower Clock", the dial of which is the center of the silk flower. Note this lot and the next lot have both had new plastic leaf/silk flowers attached to the original dial stem. The dial is in good condition and the movement ticks and stops. These usually bring around $250 in original condition, so our estimate is allowing for the new silk flower. Still a cute novelty; height 8" $100-150

181e C.1950, German, novelty "Flower Clock", the dial of which is the center of the silk flower. Note this lot and the last lot have both had new plastic leaf/silk flowers attached to the original dial stem. The dial is in good condition and the movement ticks and stops. These usually bring around $250 in original condition, so our estimate is allowing for the new silk flower. Still a cute novelty; height 8" $100-150

181f C.1835, Elisha Hotchkiss, Burlington, Conn, ½ column and splat. Entire top [splat, chimneys, returns] is replaced. columns are painted black. Both hands replaced; retains period dial. Hotchkiss is a well known maker, and this clock would respond to restoration; best part of this clock is the very good label. Height 33" $125-175

181g C.1913, Seth Thomas ANDES Adamantine shelf clock in fair to good condition. Several corners have missing adamantine veneer; gold plated ornaments have wear, and the cello dial is very dark due to oil from the movement and will need replacing.

181h C.1890, E. N. Welch, Walnut Gingerbread in generally good condition except as noted: the case has been refinished, door knob and latch are new; the alarm mechanism is missing. Retains original dial {with some wear}, orig tablet and pendulum with glass center. Height 23" $150-200

181i C.1925, Sessions "Washington" 8-day time and strike banjo, in fair as-found condition, but has potential. The clock fell and took a chunk out of the lower right corner of the case and cracked the Betsy Ross tablet at the same time. Retains a good movement, duo-tone strike rods and good dial and hands. Height 27" $100-150

181j C.1835, A 30 hour column and splat, incorrectly restored, no label, but with potential. This is groaner movement with between the plates alarm intact {winds at 7}, probably by Boardman. The case has been stripped and brush finished {inside and out}, both glasses are new, weights incorrect, but the movement still runs OK The dial with minor flakes, and with 2 perimeter screw holes, but still quite good. Restore or use for parts; height 32" $100-150

183 Mixed lot: C.1885 Austrian 2-weight movement now in a C.1920 Deco style case with burled ash veneer on the door. Although this clock runs, it has lots of aesthetic problems…..a home made bracket that is quite remedial; chunk of porcelain missing from the dial and touched up with wrong shade paint. Worm holes in the back board; one pane of bevel glass with chip. Still a lot of clock for the money. Ht 33" $225-325

184 C.1925, Ingraham NYANZA banjo clock, as-found with incorrect restorations. Bottom tablet should be black and gold, not a ship. Hands fit but are incorrect. Center of back is replaced with plywood; top chimney needs gluing. Pendulum is new and incorrect for this model, should be a large brass disc. Time and strike movement OK. Parts for the banjo restorer. Height 39" $90-120

185 C.1929, Seth Thomas, Banjo No. 2, in a mahogany case with naval battle tablets, and in need of work. This clock fell off the wall at some time and the top drum was broken [now with repair]; the tablets survived OK. The round plywood dustcover is missing [simple to make], and the eagle is a smaller replacement. Movement is the #123 balance lever 8-day with cathedral gong. If original it would be worth $300. Ht 28" $90-120

186 C.1955, Jefferson Electric Co., Bellwood, Il, 110 volt Golden Hour mystery clock, as-found. The cord is frayed and unsafe, so we were unable to check the condition of the motor, however, all critical parts are available from Timesavers in Arizona. It appears sound and complete. Ht 9" $20-40

187 C.1860, Jerome or New Haven, mini octagon time and alarm in rosewood.

188 Mixed Lot, C.1820, Austrian grand sonnerie movement, now in a new, purpose made case of walnut, with a full glazed door. Movement appears complete and sound. Gong base signed Ditmair, is loose in case. Height 23" Estimate reflects value of movement. $175-275

189 C.1828, Eli Terry & Son, Plymouth, Conn, full size stenciled column and splat, as-found. The door has been re-veneered, new hands inside need fitting to clock; dial has been shellacked over and will need special cleaning. Fruit bowl splat is quite nice. Label has opaque plastic over it which makes it difficult to photograph. Height 33" $175-275

190 C.1900, French, Round Dial clock, as-found. The case has been stripped, the hands are now from a New Haven, with tips soldered on for length; pendulum replaced with American unit with wire leader; glass dial with chips around the winding holes.

192 C.1900, Asian, Aichi Clock Co., oak shelf clock similar to the "Chicago-VP" model made by Seth Thomas. Although not American, this clock appears to be complete and original and in generally good condition. The movement is dirty, but sound and complete. The tablet, with flowers and a bird is partly flaked, but original. The dial with original "A" trademark and the gong with the full company name intact. Height 17" $75-100

193 C.1880, New Haven Clock Co., Short Drop octagon time and calendar, as-found. One of the calendar gears is in an envelope in the case, the other will need replacing; the numerals are practically all rubbed off the dial which will need repainting. Label dark and flaking. A dog has chewed on the case above the 1 {not too bad}. Otherwise the clock is in original condition with good tablet, hands and old finish that will clean up nicely. Lots of potential. Height 23½" $175-275

194 C.1880, Waterbury Clock Co., Mini OOG, 30-hour with restorations. The case has been stripped and never properly finished; mahogany veneer chips along lower band, and tablet has had most of the blue background scraped away {the blossoms that are left are still quite nice, and this tablet will restore OK}. Painted dial is pasted over with paper replacement. Signed movement is clean and running; has a good label {with a paint stain} and modest effort will improve this clock; height 19" $75-125

195 C.1920, Sessions, Mission Oak Wall clock, San Jose, as-found. This clock has been in storage and the movement is dirty. However the case is complete and sound and with all numerals and original hands. 8-day time and strike on a gong. Note pendulum has some dents. Minor nicks and scrapes, but generally in good condition; will restore OK. Even runs. Height 25" $50-80

196 Mixed Lot, Vienna Case {originally had a weight movement}, now with a shorter spring driven movement, and top from yet a third clock [and the sides cut off to fit]. Although there are some nicks and scrapes in the case, it is not bad. Note the original movement was mounted about 2 inches higher and the false top to the door has been added. This clock came to us from a collector who bought it on eBayâ, and although many nice things are to be found on the eBay site, this is an example of a buyer not asking enough questions. No gong; well made movement; decent parts. Height 48" $175-275

197 Mixed Lot, Vienna Case and Bracket with earlier movement from another clock, as-found. This clock looks quite good in the photo, but is very dirty and needs the attention of a clockmaker. When they drilled the movement to fit the rear mount bracket, they left only the holes in the bottom pillars for attaching the cord. And the clock must have belonged to a person with vision impairment, as we have never seen so many scratches around the winding holes on a porcelain dial [no cracks, just wore the glaze coat]. This case was made C.1920 by a Swiss cabinet maker to match a set of furniture, and is well made but slightly different dimensions than a factory job. Old weights with poor home-made hooks. Amazingly ticks & strikes. Height 50" Movement is worth estimate $275-375

198 C.1900, Ansonia Referee Porcelain china clock, in cobalt blue, as-found, less pendulum and the case with top center chip. BUT the open escape movement and bezel assembly are virtually perfect and will fit any Ansonia China clock {including Bonn models}. Unlike movements from black iron or marble clocks, this unit will bolt right in your premium case. We expect a lot of interest in this item. Height 11" $175-275

199 Mixed lot: a C.1825 American wood movement in a C.1910, home-made country pine case, with a C. 1825 hood only, all as-found, in need of major restoration. A dog has chewed on the trunk transition molding, feet or skirt absent. The movement is complete, except no bell, no calendar hand, nor weights; minute shaft split and will need glue. Original dial is fair, with original numerals and decorations and will restore OK. Pendulum old but not correct. This project is not for the meek, but the clock can live again. Height 84" Movement is worth estimate $200-300

200 C.1940 with 1970 electrical update, SIMPLEX Time Recorder. The wind up movement has been electrified and with modern 110v cord. The lower punch mechanism is still original and intact. Seems to run OK, but you alone can decide whether to enjoy this as-is or find the parts to make it spring driven again. Wooden case painted black. Ht 30" $100-200

201 C.1880, Seth Thomas, Mini Octagon Top rosewood cottage clock in very good original condition. Retains original dial with virtually no flakes, original wavy glass in bezel and original mirror; good label. Time only Type A round movement, 30-hour, winds at 6; see Ly #1556. Just about as good as it gets; height 9" $150-200

202 C.1909, Seth Thomas, "Whitby", inlaid mantel clock in very good, as-found condition. This clock is from an attic in Southern Mass, and the original finish is crazed and darkened. Movement is complete and sound, and running, but would benefit from cleaning. The base board {that holds the gong} has cracked {repairable}. Retains original hands, pendulum, gong, and hardware throughout; dial perfect. Inlay does not show well in photo Ht 12" $175-275

203 C.1920, Ansonia "Dorval" Crystal Regulator in generally good condition. Both vials of the pendulum have cracks [but are still in one piece], and the right beveled glass has minor edge chips that only show on close inspection. The bonus is the fancy 3" porcelain dial with floral wreaths painted in polychrome. Was service maybe 20 years ago, but still runs and strikes OK. An attractive clock for the money. Height 8 ¾" $175-275

204 C.1896, E. Ingraham & Co., "Cabinet No. 13" in very good restored condition, running and striking. This clock retains original label on the rear {see detail image}. The oak case has been attractively refinished, and the dial paper replaced in proper Ingraham style. Movement is clean and running; with original pendulum and branded key. Rear label has a small overpaste on rt corner from Rosenstein Bros, Schenectady, NY. Ht 15½" $200-300

The time, strike and alarm movement is in running order. The only items that keep this from being excellent are minor nicks and scrapes and a veneer repair {well done} along the top cornice. Note minor differences in door from the catalog illustration. This model does not turn up that often; some holes in interior label; ht 15" $200-300

210 C.1915, Seth Thomas, "GLOBE" [model 2], in rosewood and in outstanding original condition. Note in Tran Ly's 2^nd Seth Thomas book, page 150, he has a catalog 'cut' of a World, next to Jack Wyer's "Globe" which is mis-identified as a "World" [note difference in width of door]. This is a minor point as both clocks are of equal value, and this is the nicest Globe we've seen in a long while. 8-day time and strike on a gong. Minor flake in dial by 5. Height 32" $500-700

211 C.1911 {dated on rear} Seth Thomas COTTAGE, 8-day, time, strike and alarm, in outstanding original condition.

212 C.1957, Swiss, LeCoultre, ATMOS serial 95518, "perpetual" clock automatically wound by changes in atmospheric pressure. This clock is caliber 526-5, a smaller model with hinged front door and inside lock for restraining the balance. We unlocked the pendulum and verified that the movement is sound and complete, and although it ran for several minutes in this test, it may require service for long term operation. This clock is from a home in New York and shows evidence of good care and the case & dial are virtually like new. Height 8 ¾" $350-450

213 C.1917, Waterbury Clock Co., "Chime Clock No. 501" in very good restored condition. The owner recently paid a couple hundred dollars to have the clock restored, including the case refinished. The movement is a large 3-train, full plate unit that we do not see often, apparently preceding their "Majestic" movement. Original straight rod gong assembly intact with super tone. This example with silvered dial in good original condition. Height 16 ¾" $275-375

214 C.1911, New Haven Clock Co., "Chime Clock No. 4" in very good original condition. This clock retains all 5 original finials and original finish on the solid mahogany case. One finial has a couple of teeth marks from a small dog, otherwise there is no damage at all. See image of rear label intact. Both mechanisms running; chime hammers need some adjustment. The square dial is done in the English fashion with 4 gilt cherub spandrels and a silvered chapter ring. An uncommon clock in unusually good condition; note original key is inside - do not lose this as it has a long shank for winding the chime mechanism. Height 20" $400-600

215 C.1905. Swiss, Japy Freres, Walnut Wall regulator in the Alt Deutsch style. Note top finial tip is missing and top rt & l returns replaced; otherwise case is intact with original finish This is an attractive spring regulator with rod strike, long door and Corinthian columns, with original key, hands, pendulum, etc. The well made Japy Freres movement, with serial number 31130 runs and strikes, but would benefit from service. Nice color and detail. Height 47" $300-400

215a C.1855, A Good 8-Day Iron Front, now with a repapered dial, but otherwise in good original condition with very nice stenciling and M.O.P. on the case.

216 C.1915, German, Junghans, Westminster Chime bracket clock in well figured walnut and in excellent original condition. The arched dial with brightly gilded brass trim and subsidiary dials in the arch for fast/slow and chime/silent. The front door with beveled glass and flanked by fluted pilasters with Corinthian capitals, the whole retaining original finish. The movement is a bit slugish and may require cleaning, however, this clock certainly merits your attention. Original chime rods with resonant tone; original pendulum intact. Ht 19½" $400-600

217 C.1870, Ansonia Brass & Copper Co., short drop 8-day octagon school clock, in rosewood, in excellent condition, clean and running. Interestingly, this clock retains its original gong signed F. Kroeber Clock Co, and from Kroeber's 1868 catalog, it is apparent that he offered popular models made by other companies. In any case, this is a very clean clock, with a good early block mount, pinned plate movement. Sure to please. Height 24" $275-375

218 C.1895, New Haven "OCCIDENTAL" walnut parlor clock in very good condition. The case was nicely refinished some time ago {the label went dark, but is still there}, and the tablet is an old replacement {looks fine}. Bottom 2 movement screws stripped out and were replaced with machine screws and nuts from the rear {neatly done}. The clock is otherwise original with good dial, pendulum, OLD statues [these almost never show up any more], and case hardware. We would rate this an 8 out of 10. Ht 24" $400-600

219 C.1880, German, "Vienna Regulator", time only, single weight with maintaining power and seconds hand below 12, restored. The case has been refinished, and the dial has a small chip in the center, above the seconds bit that has been filled in; hairlines by 8. Otherwise this is a good original regulator with nice hands, fancy pulley and old weight. It was running when we took it off the wall. Some minor nicks and scrapes to the case are only noticed on close inspection. Ht 44" $400-600

220 C.1890, French, Conical [rotary] Pendulum alarm clock in excellent condition, with original travel box and labels. This uncommon clock, by Farcot, is serial number 35279, slightly later than a similar clock we sold in May {it was #17850}, and bears the printed ad on the paper dial: Reviel a Marche Silencieuse, or "silent running alarm". The movement is one day with separate alarm and time trains. The bonus here is the paper veneered box with hinged lid and instruction card in both French and English. Amazingly it also retains its original pendulum which is only 2" long and easily lost. Runs and alarms; height 6 ½" $800-1000

221 C.1890, French Form Clock in the shape of the famed Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel certainly rivals the Statue of Liberty as a popular souvenir form, however this one is a cut above, made of brass with good detail, and the timepiece pendulum movement by Vincenti retains original gilt brass dial with fancy bronze center and club hands. Running. Ht 19 ¼" $1600-1800

222 C.1900, Swiss, Circle Watch Co., HEBDOMAS, 8-day mini carriage clock. Typical of several offerings of miniature clocks, this one utilizes a watch movement, adapted to a clock case. Hebdomas used their rugged 8-day lever movement with exposed balance on the dial {very eye catching}. The porcelain dial is perfect, with applied gold leaves and minute markers, the Roman chapter in cobalt blue. The movement is wound and set via the "stem" above 12. Runs. The rolled brass case depicts lovers on both sides and the rear, the original gilding with some wear. Height 4" $500-600

223 C.1880, F. Kroeber, New York, "ARTIC" walnut mirror side parlor clock in excellent original condition. The image gives you the impression that the clock has been varnished over, but the dark spots are really just a build up of wax and nicotine on the original finish. We rarely see a clock as original as this one is. The label is missing, however, we have a letter from Kent Kroeber, identifying it as the "Artic" model. Original dial with minor dirt and wear; great Kroeber indicator pendulum. We expect lots of interest in this one; ht 25" $650-850

223a C.1880, F. Kroeber, New York, "Jamestown" ebonized walnut parlor clock in very good original condition.. Minor shortcomings include missing dial protectors around the winding holes, and the case has been shellacked over its original finish, However, everything there is original, including the faded gold accents in the incised case and the patent Kroeber indicator pendulum. Height 19" $375-475

223b C.1885, Wm L. Gilbert "ALTAI" walnut parlor clock in excellent original condition. This case has "wings" that slant back at 45° like a mirror side, plus lots of Victorian decoration.

Ht 11" $250-300

224 C.1850, Chauncey Jerome, New Haven, Conn, 8-day Fusee drop octagon, chisel bottom. This is a nice early school clock; see movement image and compare to Ken Robert’s book on Ives, page 260. The movement is virtually identical, except for different shaped fusees. Note also original card label in bottom. There a couple of minor chips to the veneer around the top margin, but nothing that cannot be dealt with. The dial has been touched-up lightly around the attaching holes, but is ORIGINAL, including bottom margin signature of C. Jerome. Note also unique SIDE opening door for pendulum access and strike adjustment. The fellow who bought this in May found a ripple edge model he liked better. Height 22 ½" $1500-1750

224a C.1900, German for the French market, "LFS" Westminster Wall Clock in the 2^nd Baroque style. This is a very high quality clock; the chime movement is an auxiliary, siamesed to the top of the strike movement and wound through the numeral 12. Both movements are finished to a high standard, and each bears the LFS trademark, as does the double iron gong base in the rear of the case {one set of gongs for the chine, a second going the other direction for the strike}. The walnut case is well made with finely carved trim on top and bottom, and with a heavy plate of beveled glass in the door. About as good as it gets for a Westminster wall clock; ht 44" $400-600

224b C.1920, German, T. E. Haller, Mojolica cased mantel clock in excellent original condition. This little portico style case has a cobalt blue background with earth tone accents. The 30 hour fit-up movement runs a while and stops but is complete and sound. Very attractive; ht 11¾" $275-375

225 C.1915, Ansonia Clock Co., "La Seine", Royal Bonn porcelain china clock in excellent original condition. This is a tri-color case, dark red at top, blending down to lime green in the center and dark green at the base.

Rear of case with Bonn signature and model name as well. With American dial and sash {gilt center}; original hands. Ht 11 ½" $400-600

226 C.1905, Royal Bonn "LaGrande" Porcelain china clock with a good French bell strike movement. This signed Bonn case is exactly the same as the Ansonia LaGrande, so we have no idea whether the French bought these cases direct from Germany, or whether someone simply put a French movement in an empty Ansonia case. We will never be able to answer these questions, however, we can see that this is a beautiful china clock and can be enjoyed as-is, or perhaps be used to replace a broken Ansonia LaGrande case. Porcelain dial is cream colored and excellent; the case is a very pale lime green with dark red, violet and orange flowers, and without blemish. Height 20 ½" $550-850

227 C.1905, another Royal Bonn "LaGrande" Porcelain china clock with a French movement. This signed Bonn case is exactly the same as the Ansonia LaGrande, refer to previous lot also. This case received a professional repair to the two rear legs and except for a slight matte finish, you cannot see the repair. The case is off-white with pink flowers and accented by a blue-aqua stripe all over the case, plus the usual 24K highlights. The well made round movement, numbered 98703 {with matching # pendulum} strikes the hours and halves on a gong; bezel fits the front opening perfectly, however the rear cover has an adapter ring to hold it in place. Note the fancy porcelain dial with polychrome decorations and gilt pattern surrounding the numerals. As in lot 226, the case bears the Royal Bonn signature. An attractive clock. Height 20½" $450-750

228 C.1905, Ansonia "La Vendee", Porcelain china clock in excellent original condition, movement cleaned and in good running order.

229 C.1905, Ansonia "La Orne", Porcelain china clock in excellent original condition, movement cleaned and in good running order. Although this clock has a solid porcelain dial, the colors are quite dramatic: white case with violet and gold outlines on all the raised features and dark red ruffled blossoms {also on sides}. An un-common model. Height 10¾" $500-750

230 C.1880, Ansonia "Crystal Palace No. 1 Extra" in very good condition, with replacement dome that fits well. This clock has the same rifleman and fisher with net statues illustrated in Ly's 2^nd Ansonia book on page 95. Retains original dial, hands, pendulum and statues, and is in running order.

231 C.1890, French, Clock & Barometer in an attractive walnut wall case with double fluted columns, carved leaves surrounding the barometer and with original top. A thermometer with both F° and C° scales lies in the throat. The movement is a heavy French square plated number, striking the hours and halves on a straight steel rod. The Aneroid barometer is original to the case and seems "live" to a tap. The clock is running. In very good condition and well above average in appearance and style; small piece of back board has been properly replaced. Ht 36" $500-800

232 C.1902 {dated} Seth Thomas CORDOVA "City Series" in outstanding original condition. This clock came from a gentleman in Rockingham County, NH and was recently serviced. In all respects this clock is "like new". Using premium round 15-day movement, and a fired porcelain dial. Mahogany case in classic Greek style with columns and capitals, is superb. Note extra case trim on this early version was later eliminated. Ready for home or office. Height 10¾" $250-350

233 C.1868, Seth Thomas KITCHEN mini bevel front in outstanding restored condition. The dial had flaked completely and had to be repainted on the original pan [professionally done and a perfect job]; center hole is correct for this model. Noteworthy is the superb original tablet of a robin. The well figured mahogany case retains original finish which has been well waxed. This post-civil war clock has a Thomaston label and a Plymouth round 30 hour striking movement. Height 16" $150-250

234 C.1850, Connecticut Clock Co., 54 John St, New York, 30 hour brass spring steeple in very good restored condition.

The case has never been stripped and the ads are in very good condition, top door 100% original, silver on lower door touched up; small glass missing from lower door. From a barn in Manchester, England. Original movement sound but dirty; overall very good original condition. Height 30 ½" $750-1000

235a C.1925, Wm. L. Gilbert "Old Mr. Boston" clock advertising Fine Liquors, and in outstanding original condition. This is a rare prototype or original issue of this clock, done in solid wood, with original paint and stenciled lettering. Later these were cast metal, a much cheaper medium in manufacturing such an odd shape. This example is about the best example we have ever seen. With typical Gilbert lever movement, with F/S lever above 11 o'clock. Minor chips in paint commensurate with the age of the piece. Height 22" $300-500

236 C.1922, Seth Thomas, "Regulator No. 4" in oak, and in excellent condition. The exterior only of this clock has been professionally refinished to golden oak and with an attractive satin sheen; interior sides, back and mask are original as is the painted dial.

Ht 23½" $1200-1600

238a C.1890, Musical Shelf Cuckoo, Fusee movement in a walnut architectural case, roof and steeple with carved "shingles". The large double fusee movement is well made, with heavy brass plates, and with count wheel at top of the back plate. In the base of the case is the original 6 tune music box wound with a hand crank on the right side of the case. It appears that at one time the music may have played automatically after the cuckoo, however, at this time it operates manually. The original tune sheet is intact and fully legible. Original cuckoo flutes are intact as well, with some repairs, and they have a nice deep tone. This clock has gotten separated from its pendulum, and this will need to be made, and the bezel and crystal over the dial are missing. Music box plays and with no broken teeth, but will need attention. Clock is otherwise complete and sound. Ht 31" $2000-2500

239 C.1910, Very Large Shelf Cuckoo, heavily carved, depicting a giant eagle attacking a mountain goat, the base with carvings of rocks, ferns and acorns, and with vines ascending each side of the dial.

The delicate cast bezel has a fine engine turned pattern and retains the original gilding. Bottom glass is perfect; top has some tip wear on the under side where the glass bezel mounts to the ormolu throat piece {only visible on close inspection}. A great clock for glass collectors; ht 10" $2000-2500

242 C.1950, Hamilton Watch Co., Lancaster, PA, Model 21 ship's chronometer with both boxes. The outer box has a weather spot and flaking on top, but the inner box is "like new". Both are very clean inside and show signs of good care. Best part is that this box was made for the U.S.Maritime Commission, and so engraved on the dial. Serial number 2E10275. Includes a certification slip from 1954 showing that the box was in service on the SS American Lawyer. The box was overhauled by TS & JD Negus of 69 Pearl St, New York.

The case is of well figured walnut, with reeded and stop fluted quarter columns and with original finish and nice patina; all case hardware is original. The heavy 3-tr movement is of typical W+H quality {signed}, and chimes the quarters on your choice of 4 or 8 gongs, and strikes the hours on a 9^th deep tone flat wire gong. The sound exits the case through finely cast side frets with red silk backing. After taking the foto, we removed the heavy gong assembly and placed it in the bottom of the case to avoid damage; it has outstanding tone. This clock was shipped here from New York and is a one-family clock. Special shipping required. Height 18" $2000-3000

244 C.1890, French Porcelain clock, of Sevres quality, but unsigned, in the style of Louis XVI. Note the under side of the clock has a couple of small chips that do not show unless the clock is turned over.

247 C.1915, Seth Thomas, Chime Clock No. 266, chiming the quarter hours on 8 patent Sonora Resonated bells. This is a LARGE and impressive clock, the mahogany case with inlay on the front.

Runs and chimes and in excellent cond. Height 13 ½" $450-650

249 C.1860, French, Musical Automaton, Picture frame clock, with sailing ship in the alcove below the dial, as-found. This clock needs some attention, but is mechanically sound and the music box and ship will play and pitch when wound, but the on-off mechanism is not working. You can see in the image that the "ocean" of paper has torn and needs some repair. The time and strike movement is sound but would benefit from service. When the music plays, the ship pitches to and fro as if sailing through rough seas; it is wound with a pull cord. We have had many French picture frame clocks, but this is only the second animated with music we have had. Height 28" $750-1000

250 C.1870, Swiss "Soprano" 12-tune Music Box, with original tune card.

251 C.1899, Regina Music Box Co., Rahway, NJ, Style 31, automatic disc changing music box, 20¾", full name: Regina Sublima Corona No. 31. This box was modeled after the popular 27" changer, for folks who had space restrictions. The mahogany cabinet has been refinished and the mechanisms cleaned by a mechanic in Pennsylvania. Those folks unfamiliar with this model should refer to Dave Bowers' Encyclopedia of Automatic Music Instruments {Vestal Press}, page 200. Includes carriage of 12 tune discs, including the Washington Post March and Lustspiel. We played this box for several hours and it occasionally stops in the middle of a tune and some times top edge of the disc catches when it is rising into place. However both spring motors are strong and it appears that someone familiar with these mechanisms can assist with adjustments. 64x24x34" $18,000-20,000

252 C.1880, French, Animated Whistling Bird clock in a giant gilded spelter case with hand decorated porcelain plaques, dial and columns.

The large whistling mechanism is contained with the giltwood base, and with winding key and actuation lever at the right. The bird retains its bright red and green feathers. The 8-day time and bell strike French movement is signed H & F {+Marti seal} and is sound and running and with original hands. Whistling mechanism will need minor cleaning and adjustment, but is working reasonably well as is. The spelter with minor pits and rough spots. An imposing piece, meant for a large mantel. Height 27" $5500-6500

253 C.1890, French, Musical Bird Automaton and clock. This is a large unit, top bird at rest, and center humming bird that appears to "flit" from branch to branch, the bottom bird tipping as if to drink from the "fountain", a turning rod of glass {in little alcove on right}. The trees and shrubs in this unit are muted brown and you have to look closely to see the birds. With a two tune, pull wind music box that may be activated either independently or in conjunction with the key wind tweeting bird mechanism. Time and bell strike movement lower left with good porcelain dial and original moon hands. With a perfect glass dome. Height 23.5" $5500-6500

254 C.1852, Forestville Hardware & Clock Co., {J.C. Brown}, Bristol, a small wall hanging iron front clock in exceptional condition. Two small air brush touch ups are apparent on the original dial, one by the F/S opening and another in the center of the seconds bit; these are undetectable except with a magnifier… the balance of the dial, including the signature, is original and wonderful. This clock must certainly have been in a drawer most of its life, as it shows very little sign of use… original glass, no paint chips along the edges, etc. 30 hour lever movement has been professionally cleaned and is running. Height 13½" $1200-1800

255 C.1862, Gilbert Short Drop Octagon Calendar with Maranville Patent calendar mechanism, and in very good original condition. The only minor shortcomings that keep this from being excellent are some chips in the rosewood veneer chips along the margin of the octagon. Otherwise, this is just about the nicest original example of this model we have seen. Full details of this Civil War era clock may be found in Ly's book titled Calendar Clocks {1993}, pages 79-80. Paper lining inside case intact; original pendulum & key. Height 23½" $700-900

256 C.1870, French, A. Dumas, Paris, serial 1048, a clock in the form of a lantern. Dumas is perhaps better know for carriage clocks and miniatures, however, this is an interesting and well made clock. There are some minor stress cracks in the rear that are noticeable on close inspection {not bad}. Has an 8-day time only platform movement in working order, signed A.D. in an oval. See other French Industry series clocks that follow. Height 9½" $700-900

257 C.1885, French "Gladiator" Form clock in very good original condition. This is a detailed piece, with 2-mace, 2-axe and 2-shields, the whole surmounted by a nickeled helmet with engraved brass face plate. The front shield is deeply engraved with a lion and a falcon, the rear shield with 5 stars accented with scrolls. The time only movement has a cylinder platform intact, but would benefit from service. The intricate cast dial has numerals painted on and with some wear and with fancy cast hands. Height 19¼" $900-1200

258 C.1880, French, Industrial Series, Marine theme desk clock and barometer with thermometer, restored. This is an attractive clock, the movements held in circles of gilded rope between the flukes and the shank, the bronze anchor silvered and with a gilt ring, the tapered shank with a Fahrenheit thermometer intact. The time only movement has a cylinder platform, which seems a bit sluggish, but managed to run for over 2 days, and the Aneroid barometer seems OK as well. The fired porcelain dials are perfect; hands original. For literature, see Derek Roberts’ Mystery, Novelty & Fantasy Clocks, page 258. Height 9" $700-900

259 C1890, French Industrial Series "Lighthouse", clock in very good condition. In this version, the top revolves for several hours on a winding, the movement that powers the "beacon" is housed in the base, and power is transmitted up a long vertical drive-shaft which has teeth on the bottom end to engage the rotating arbor on the movement. The typical clock and barometer are set into the beacon, opposite each other, and between the two are Centigrade and Fahrenheit thermometers; note one thermometer tube is replaced with a red alcohol version. We sold a "cousin" to this in May that had a black marble base, this one has mottled red. Height 17" $2000-2500

260 C.1895, French "Cooking Pot" Mantel Clock, from the French Industrial and novelty series. The gong striking Marti movement has a pendulum in the form of a cooking pot which oscillates in the fireplace. The "cousin" to this clock may be seen in Derek Roberts’ book: Mystery Novelty & Fantasy Clocks, [1999], page 263, and also in the Meraux Collection [Sotheby’s], lot #6. This clock is in good original condition, complete with "pot & lid" pendulum and andirons; the only minor shortcomings are the tip of the minute hand which has been improperly replaced, and gong assembly has been bent away from the hammer and will need attention. Round time and strike movement recently cleaned. The multi piece brass case is mounted to a dark red marble base with ormolu feet. Hard to find in complete condition. Height 16" $1500-2000

261 C.1885, French, Industry Series Fort De Longchamps, a` couple tournante, clock and barometer in a very unusual form. The "fort" is a round brick tower {silvered brass}, with parapets with 4 flaming canon, and the rotating top carousel with armor and 8 canon which in the original were fired in quick succession, the empty canon being re-loaded in the time it takes to travel full circle. The 4 feet are each stacks of 4 canon balls, and above stand the packaged powder charges. Flanking the dial are two larger canon. The canon are non-firing, and under the top carousel is a spring motor, which turns the canon assembly for a time. The 8-day time and strike movement has a balance/platform escapement, and is running but would benefit from service. The movement is slightly loose in its sleeve. We have not seen this clock before, and are estimating it with the rarer automatons. Ht 26" $10,000--12,000

262 C.1983, reproduction "Imperial Fan Clock", designed by Faberge and built by Thwaites & Reed of London, England. These were produced as a limited edition of 500 pieces, and marketed here by the Franklin Mint, with an original issue price of $1950, later higher. Includes the original booklet. The case is rosewood with brass trim. Each fold of the fan bears a numeral, and a sterling pointer with a center diamond points to the hour. As the hours go by, the fan opens, one fold at a time; on reaching 6 o'clock it folds down quickly and re-starts the process. With a special gold plated male key with wreath handle. Height 10" $1000-1500

263 C.1875, Welch, Spring & Co., "CARY, V.P." rosewood shelf clock in excellent original condition. Rear label is 95%, couple corners missing, and is bright and legible. All original buttons and finials intact; super pendulum with glass center. Ht 20" As good as it gets. $1250-1750

264 C.1875, Welch, Spring & Co., "GERSTER, V.P." rosewood shelf clock in very good original condition, less label. The trefoil of the minute hand is broken off, and there is a piece of veneer missing on the lower right return of the base. Original finish with some water damage and chips here and there, but overall good. Not a bad clock considering the difficulty in finding this model complete, and with original round handle Patti key. Height 18 ½" $900-1200

264a C.1875, Welch, Spring & Co., "SCALCHI" walnut shelf clock in very good restored condition, with nice label. The case have been stripped and refinished on this and could use a little more attention. The dial has been repapered. Retails proper Patti type movement, pendulum and original tablet. Height 20" $700-900

265 C.1870, English, Single Fusee skeleton clock on a marble base with replacement dome [cracked and with crazy glue repair]. The well made scroll frame is intricate and the 6-spoke wheel work is excellent {3 spokes on motion wheels}. It is unusual to see a solid porcelain dial on clocks of this era, and there is no evidence the dial has been changed. Base has been changed once to accommodate another dome. Height of clock and base, 14½", and total with dome 16 ½". $900-1200

265a C.1900, English, Single Fusee skeleton clock on a marble base and original dome. This is a passing strike clock {one bell at the top of each hour}, and with a pierced rafter frame, setting on 4 turned brass finials, in turn attached to a heavy white marble base. Seems to run fine. Dome is shown in detail image. Height 19" $800-1000

266 C.1875, Welch, Spring & Co., "Patti No. 2" or miniature Patti in rosewood and in very good original condition. The only items that keeps this from being outstanding are a missing rear label and wear to the dial in the lower section. Otherwise this time and strike model is wonderful. Ht 10 ¼" $2750-3250

267 C.1870, Terry Clock Co., Waterbury, Conn. Short drop octagon, iron case in very good condition, with gold decorations intact {a little weak but definitely there}. The black enamel has some minor chips. Good old squirrel tablet {may not be original} with rear red strengthened; good label {a little faded}; dial is papered over. The movement signed, freshly cleaned and in good running order. A rare clock; ht 19" $1800-2200

268 C.1830, John Sawin, Boston, Mass, an alarm banjo [2 weight], with case restoration. If you can get past the re-gilded rope front and the re-painted tablets {done on early glass}, this is really an interesting clock. Retains original alarm movement with bell mounted above. The movement has been cleaned and is running. The weights look to be around 25 years old, well done with some oxidation at this point. The tablets are very well executed, the lower of the infamous Boston Massacre {after the famous engraving by Paul Revere}. Original dial, alarm disc and hands. If you are looking for an alarm banjo, you would not be ashamed of this one. Ht 30" $1750-2250

269 C.1983 {modern} reproduction of the Royal Observatory Conical Pendulum Clock, like new with original paperwork. The quality fusee movement for this clock was designed by Richard Elliott, FBHI, and produced by Thwaites & Reed of London. The issue price in 1983 was $2500, as sold by the Franklin Mint, and the production of 1000 pieces was fully subscribed. This clock is in excellent original condition, with original dome, and our estimate is roughly half the issue price. Height 25" $1250-1750

270 C.1890, French, Bronzed Spelter Swinging Mystery timepiece {swinger}, in good original condition. This large statue of Brise d`Automne [Autumn Breeze, signed Moreau] retains original patina in very good condition. The ball had a dent pressed out on the rear half, and there are a couple of scratches in the front half, but overall the ball is still very good with original numerals, patina and great delicate hands that retain their original gilding. Truthfully I would rather invest in a clock with these minor imperfections than one that had been totally refinished. The ball is 6" in diameter; overall height 38½" $4500-5500

271 C.1820, N. H. Striking Mirror Clock, attributed to Frederick Wingate, Augusta, Maine. The movement in this clock is identical to the Fred. Wingate Clock at Sturbridge Village, Mass. Note similarities to Aaron Willard, Jr., arch top plates with fine wheel work. The finely cut iron hands are original; the dial surface has had chips filled in center and around winding holes; faint parts of the black are original, others were filled in by the restorer [a faithful job that left it with an aged appearance]. The top tablet appears to be original and in very nice condition; the mirror is old, but has been re-sealed in place, so we assume it may be an old replacement {nice grainy look to it}. Faux shell columns and gilding are wonderful. Iron weights are replacements. Runs and strikes. Ht 31¾" $3750-4750

272 C.1880, French, Mini Lyre Clock, with swinging brilliants on knife-edge pendulum, in excellent original condition. The porcelain dial is decorated with polychrome floral wreaths and is signed Cousard, Horo'gr du Roy, Paris. The sister to this clock sold in 1993 at the Sotheby's Meraux sale {6-28-93}, lot #78. The white marble case is in very good condition and retains all ormolu intact with bright yellow gilding. Numbers match on mov't and pendulum, all original brilliants; finely pierced "lyre" hands. A nice clock. Height 14" $3500-4500

273 C.1835, Isaac Packard, North West Bridgewater, Mass., 30-hour 2-weight Torrington type wood movement Empire shelf clock. This is a very rare clock in a simple case typical of the Torrington makers. The case has a veneer chip on the door and other small veneer repairs. The dial is beautiful; old hands not a pair; need fitting. The upper glass is not puttied in but appears to be the original piece. The mirror is a replacement; original Torrington weights. The clock has a wonderful label with the census of 1830 {24 states, territories of MI, AR & FL, plus Dist. of Columbia}. Generally very good condition. Height 37" $900-1200

274 C.1870, Austrian, Wilhelm Stelzer, Wien, grand sonnerie wall regulator in a transitional style, and in excellent original condition. This clock has understated elegance, very dark mahogany finish, almost black, and simple pediment top with finial. The Viennese movement is of the highest quality, and with original pendulum, hands, beat scale, winding crank, etc. Minor nicks and scrapes to case commensurate with its age. Ht 52" $1750-2250

275 C.1966, Elmer O. Stennes, Weymouth, Mass., weight driven presentation {gold front} banjo, in outstanding original condition. The consignor, an elderly lady in Manchester, received this clock as a gift in 1966, along with the Stennes brochure and prices {included with the lot}. Elmer made this clock when he was still using old movements {before prison} and you can see in the detail image it has a good 19^th Century unit installed. Both the dial and weight retain original Stennes signature. The brochure shows that this clock cost $290 at the time. When you figure that new cars now cost about 10 times what they cost 34 years ago, this clock should bring more than our estimate. Height 33 ½" $1500-2000

276 C.1920, Herschede Clock Co., Cincinnati, weight driven presentation driven banjo clock in very good original condition. There is some minor touch up to the background of the Perry's Victory tablets, and the gold leaf shows some surface wear due to a weekly dusting. Otherwise the clock is in great original shape with all original hardware intact; runs but would benefit from cleaning. Note Hereshede factory imprint on movement {detail image}, and robust Geneva style winding stop intact. Height 42" $1500-2000

277 C.1845, Terry & Andrews, Bristol, CT, 8-day with alarm steeple on steeple. Dial, hands and all 3 glasses appear original. Case is veneered in mahogany with no veneer damage.

A very attractive clock that would be welcome in any collection. Height 25¼" $1400-1800

278 C.1894, Ansonia Clock Co., "Swing No. 1" in outstanding original condition. This clock, from Bill Mittelstadt is photographed in detail in Ly's book titled Ansonia Clocks & Watches {1998}, pages 64-65. This is the very same clock illustrated in the book. It is not often you get the chance to buy a well documented item such as this. Our estimate is for a clock in original condition, but perhaps the provenance here will add to the competition. Ht 11 ½" $1750-2250

279 C.1894, Ansonia Clock Co., Wooden Box for Swing No. 1, in original condition, with cotton inside that was packed around the doll. Measures 6x3x13", and with original Ansonia Label on one end. $700-900

Dial is excellent, with very minor discoloration. Height 6" $600-800

This clock was last sold on Tuesday, January 7, 1986 at Bourne's sale of Tony Sposato's clocks, as lot 243, price $1500. Mr. Sawyer's description was more than adequate: "Mahogany veneered case with 4 steeples and 2 doors, both retaining original cut glass tablets. The lower door opens to a fine paper label and fusee cones, and the upper door opens to a fine original dial. Rare 8-day brass time and strike fusee driven movement. Early repair label, dated 1879, of Leander Freeman, Willimantic, Connecticut, on back of case. Condition: some veneer damage and replacement, otherwise fine original condition."

285 C.1935, Lux Clock Mfg Co., Waterbury, Conn., CAT {black}, in good original condition, running.

Height of face: 5", with tail 7½" $250-350

286 C.1935, Lux Clock Mfg Co., Waterbury, Conn., CHRISTMAS WREATH, in very good original condition, running. Part of the "Sunflower" series, this is certainly among the rarest of Lux novelties. Ht 6¼" $2500-3500

This is a great clock with signed movement, and good gilding; the statue has an old repair for a broken left arm that has been painted over.

Strikes the hours on a bell. Height 20 ½" $3750-4250

293 C.1900, German, Lenzkirch, Walnut & Bronze cartel clock in excellent original condition. The only minor item that keeps this from being outstanding is this: the clock was shipped from a central European state where the Lenzkirch name was at one time forbidden, and the trademark has been rubbed out on the movement. The balance of the markings, including the serial number "1-Million 260672" are genuine Lenzkirch and we guarantee authenticity. This case has eighty-five individual pieces of bronze applique, all well chased in fine detail [see detail images]. This is a one family clock that is sure to draw a lot of interest; w/ original Lenzkirch key. A LARGE and heavy clock; height 42" $2500-3500

The only thing that keeps this from being outstanding are some small dents in the pendulum, and these can almost be overlooked when you consider the beauty of the rest.

296 C.1900, German, Walnut "R-A" in excellent original condition. There is one small quarter return missing under the leafy trim on top; only shows when viewed from extreme right. Otherwise this is as clean a wall regulator as you will find. Attractive book matched veneer on the back board. An unusual feature is a large gong, held aloft by a cast iron "king" in the center of the case {just visible behind the pendulum}. For this type clock, this is as good as it gets. Height 41" $500-750

297 C.1886, Seth Thomas NORFOLK from their City Series, 8-day in walnut and in excellent original condition. A couple of flakes on the dial have been touched up, but it is essentially original.

Note interesting walnut case with fruit applique top and bottom. All original and ready for many years of enjoyment. Height 37" $600-800

304 C.1875, German, Gustav Becker, CAT & MICE clock. This is a wonderful little clock, serial number 528304 when Becker was still turning out a product that could compete with Lenzkirch. The tu-tone bronze case is silvered on the base, also the cat is silvered, and he is crouched on a brightly gilded basket ready to pounce on his prey. The quality of the casting and chasing is very fine. The movement itself is signed Gustav Becker, and with his unique lever platform intact and running.

305 C.1925, Chelsea for Tiffany & Co., New York, bronze house strike tambour clock in good original condition. This clock is deceiving, as it looks like it should weigh about 5 pounds, but weighs 22 pounds. This clock is serial number 162930. Chelsea collectors should know that they can still contact the Chelsea Clock Company and obtain a certificate of authenticity for their clocks, including a copy {if requested} of the original sales ledger page for their specific clock. The bezel on this clock will stay closed, but does not want to snap in place….should be correctable. Approx 4" dial; ht 8 1/2" $450-650

306 C.1890, French, Ormolu and Enamel, mantle clock. This is an interesting temple style clock, with a central tower and 4 finely detailed Corinthian columns supporting a domed "roof".

Very minor bits of enamel have worn off the top finials, but the clock is overall in excellent condition. Ht 16" $2750-3250

307 C.1860, French, Empire Pendule. This is an interesting clock, the movement contained within the pendulum which is in turn suspended from the top of the portico. Overall the original gilding is excellent. It appears that the suspension spring has been renewed and a little inspection cover freshly made, otherwise original condition. Note the rose pattern on the ormolu dial and the tiny porcelain cartouche numerals. The pinwheel movement is very delicate and runs with the most subtle of motion. Striking on a bell mounted to the rear of the movement. Height 19 ½" $5000-7000

308 C.1885, French, Conical Timepiece. The movement is contained in a brass sphere, painted dark green, and retains original signature of E. Guerrin a` Chaumont.

The dial still bright and signed E. Smets & Fils, Liege. Gong strike; height 13 ½" $1800-2200

310 C.1880, German, Lenzkirch "Tabernacle" clock in excellent original condition. This clock is made in the French style, several panels of cast brass screwed together, and the fine detail in the casting is amazing, a myriad of swags and shells with northwind faces as well, some minor oxidation in the crevices. The signed Lenzkirch movement has been pro-fessionally cleaned and runs and strikes the hours on a bell. The dial has 12 individual porcelain numerals, in royal blue on white {the 3 & 8 with hairlines}, and with original hands. Clocks by this maker are really the "Mercedes" of clock collecting. Impressive. Height 17" $2500-3000

310a C.1880, German, Lenzkirch "Cabinet" clock in excellent original condition. Any one who doubts that the Ansonia Clock Co was influenced by German design, only needs to compare this clock with the Ansonia "Cabinet" series. This particular clock has 20 pieces of ormolu adorning the fancy solid walnut case. The embossed dial has Arabic numerals and fancy bezel with beveled crystal. The well made movement, serial #822261 bears the Lenzkirch tradmark and strikes the hours and halves on a coiled wire gong. Impressive. Ht 21" $1000-1500

311 C.1840, French, Annular Dial Clock with pendulum movement, silk thread suspension, in restored condition. The case has been gold plated and about half the hour numerals have been restored with epoxy, painted over; minute numerals with some cracks. Note the time is indicated by the serpents tongue. Each lower panel has a painted porcelain plaque, the front one a floral spray and the other 3 of cherubs. The original silk style pendulum has been misplaced, and we will provide a new wire and bob kit that will need fitting. Rotary dial clocks with pendulum movements are quite rare. Height 16" $9000-12000

312 C.1885, French, Rare Industrial "Lighthouse" Automaton, gong striking movement with brocot escapement, the helical spring torsion pendulum forming the animated "light" of the tapered brickwork case. The case is made of brass, cast to simulate a brick tower with granite corners. The clock is complete and sound, runs and strikes on a gong. The balance has several panes of faceted glass and is quite eye catching as it rotates briskly back and forth. For literature, see Derek Roberts’ Mystery, Novelty & Fantasy Clocks, page 257. Height 24" $7500-8500

313 C.1890, French, Industrial Series "Bow Saw", automaton mantel clock, restored. The well made gong striking movement has the vertical jig saw connected to, and forming part of the pendulum, giving the illusion of "sawing" up and down as the clock runs. For literature, see Derek Roberts’ Mystery, Novelty & Fantasy Clocks, page 266, also Sotheby’s {NY}, June 28, 1993, lot 59 {Joseph Meraux Collection}. This clock retains original components and has been professionally refinished and restored; minor nicks in black marble base have been buffed; brass has been plated with silver, copper and yellow gold; overall excellent. Compare to lot 287 we sold in May 2000; this model came with or without male attendant. Height 15", Width 13¼" $10,000-12,000

314 C.1890, French, Industrial Series "The Telegraph", model mantel clock, featuring the tower, key, transmission wires, etc. The clock is contained in a tub on top of the tower, and has a fancy porcelain dial. Behind the clock is mounted a circular scale thermometer {C° +intact}, and to the left in a simulated transformer, is mounted an Aneroid barometer. When you lower the switch handle to the right of the clock, a chain turns a shaft up the center of the tower, thus rotating and exposing the clock to a person sitting opposite you; note 2 cosmetic brass separators are missing from the tower {barely noticeable}. The dial of the thermometer is signed: J. LeRoy Fils., 55 Fbg. Poissonniere, Paris. The whole attached to a heavy brass plate, in turn mounted to a red marble base with brass footing. Ht 12" $4000-5000

315 C.1885, French "Horizontal Steam Boiler" from the Industrial Series of clocks. The boiler with engine, flywheel and governor. The 8-day time movement, barometer and thermometer, plus misc valves, tubes and fittings mounted on the front of the boiler. On top to the left is the steam cylinder, appearing to drive the flywheel and governor, all kept in motion by a spring motor inside the boiler which runs several hours on a winding. The whole mounted to a textured brass base which is mounted in turn on a black marble base with brass feet. This is a rare Industrial model in excellent condition {minor brush marks from the flywheel spokes being painted}. For literature, see Derek Roberts’ Mystery, Novelty & Fantasy Clocks, page 264. Ht 11" $5500-7500

316 C.1890, French "Vertical Steam Boiler" from the Industrial Series of clocks. The boiler has pipes and gauges, and the 8-day platform clock and aneroid barometer are set in the side of the round boiler. The fly-ball governor at top is driven by a separate movement in the base and runs for several hours on a winding. Both movements are in working order. You will find more information and detail pictures on this same model clock in Derek Roberts’ book: Mystery Novelty & Fantasy Clocks, [1999], pages 263+265. This clock has been professionally replated and is quite striking in appearance. Reference lot 238 in our May 2000 sale which sold for $7500. Ht 14" $5000-6000

317 C.1885, French, "Battleship", from the Industrial Series of clocks. Nowhere was the influence of the industrial revolution greater than on instruments of war. The inventions of smokeless powder, cartridges and automatic weaponry were eclipsed by new inventions to carry naval weapons underwater in submarines as well as "state of the art" battle ships with rotating turrets that reduced the need to "come about" in order to zero in on a target. This ship has double automation: the turrets that carry the clock and barometer both rotate and the propeller turns as well; the opposite side of the turrets carry canon. There is evidence of minor repairs and the front flag has been replaced {looks OK}; the crystal of the barometer has a chip at the bottom. The battle ship is one of the most difficult of the Industrial models to find in complete condition. For literature, see Derek Roberts’ Mystery, Novelty & Fantasy Clocks, page 256. Width 18 ½"; ht 12¼" $19,000-22,000

318 C.1885, French, Industry Series "Liberty Bell". These bell clocks were retailed by Cartier in the last quarter of the 19^th century, and came in two versions, a smaller fraternal bell like we sold in May [lot 204], with the movement in the bell itself, and then this larger Liberty Bell, with the clock in the marble base. The nice part of this item is that the bell retains its original fire gilding in good condition. The bell is complete with "crack" and all engravings: BY ORDER OF THE PROVINCE OF PENNSYLVANIA, PROCALIM LIBERTY THROUGHOUT ALL THE LAND TO ALL THE INHABITANTS THEREOF, Philada-1753. The rim of the bell has some small dings from regular ringing of this bell, apparently with a small hammer {not major, just apparent}. The movement would benefit from service; ht 19" $1500-2000

319 C.1840 Spencer, Wooster & Co., Salem Bridge, Conn., Column & Cornice clock. The clock is in very nice original condition. The movement is in excellent condition along with the original dial, hands, weight pulleys and weights. The lower glass has been redone and there are a couple of minor veneer repairs to the side of the case; bottom panel needs a pair of hinges. The upper glass is cracked. Original center tablet is about 15% flaked. You can find this same movement illustrated in Horology Americana, page 122. Overall a good looking rare clock. See also lot 46. Height 34" $1500-2000

320 C.1880, French "Windmill", from the Industrial Series of animated clocks, in very good original condition. This is a good looking clock and functions well; both the small platform time movement and the spring motor for the windmill are in operating order. The round tower has the look of being built of brick {lines cast into the brass}. Interestingly the center section of the mill has an additional texture to the bricks that certainly required a lot of work to "roll' into the brass. Time movement is 8-day; animation runs for a few hours on a winding. A nice example. For literature, see Derek Roberts’ Mystery, Novelty & Fantasy Clocks, page 265. Height 17.5" $3000-4000

321 C.1890, French, Clock & Barometer cartel clock in excellent original condition. The walnut case has double columns up the sides, a frieze of carved scrolls above the dial, carved acanthus leaves around the barometer and a carved top of Diana with leafy accents either side. The well made Aneroid barometer has a porcelain dial with indications in French. This clock is right out of a house and has not been serviced in many years. Still ticks and tries to strike, but will need cleaning. About as nice a looking clock as you will find. Ht 38" $500-800

322 C.1845, J. C. Brown, Bristol, Connecticut, miniature beehive. This clock came out of a house and is as-found, movement is loose, orig top glass cracked. BUT, THIS IS A RARE item, even more uncommon than a mini ripple beehive and we have seen only 2 or 3 examples in the last 25 years. Positives are: original dial, tablet {some paint loss}, finish, good label {with wear from throwing the key in the case}. There are 2 minor veneer chips left corner of base molding, otherwise the mahogany veneer is great as well. The dial signature is weak but visible; minute hand is too short. We expect a lot of interest in this item. Height 15¼" $2000-2500

323 C.1925, Swiss, Singing Bird Box, Sterling silver case, in excellent condition. The bird retains his original green and black feathers in good condition, and he sings his song with exceptional clarity and volume, all the while flitting back and forth and fluttering his wings. The case is hall-marked and with Sterling spelled out and "925", and is hand chased with cast caryatids at each corner, other faces, love birds and gargoyles around the box. The singing movement has been professionally restored; note you need to hold the button firmly to the right until the bird and cover are fully upright. Box measures 2¾" deep by 4" wide by 2¾" high $2500-3000

324 C.1898, German, Lenzkirch, 2-Weight in a walnut case of unadorned Baroque style, and in outstanding original condition. Has large 8" bezel with cream colored porcelain dial with fancy Arabic numerals. All hardware and movement are original to the case; there are no extra holes or screws. The Lenzkirch collector will have trouble deciding between this and lot #337. Runs but the gut is fraying and will need cleaning. Height 48" $2000-2500

325 C.1850-60, Austrian, W. Schonberger, late Biedermeier 3-weight Grand Sonnerie wall regulator. The burled case has been stripped and refinished with polyurethane, and needs to be rubbed down with steel wool and waxed. The bottom finial is incorrect. The movement itself is signed on the dial: W. Schonberger, in Wien, mounted to a seat board and with separate brass gong standard, typical of earlier models. Workmanship on the 72 beat movement is outstanding. All pulleys are old, but one does not match. Orig wooden handle crank must be used when winding, as the clearance around the dial grommets is very slim. Despite needing some attention, this clock has potential. Height 45" $4000-5000

326 C. 1840, Austrian "Dachluhr" case, now with a C.1860 3-weight movement by Franz Roskowski, with the old engine turned bezel now soldered on to the dial plate {actually looks OK}. Note steel rod pendulum and early bob are intact. The case has been rubbed out with pumice. If the original movement were intact, we would have expected this to bring around $7500. Ht 42" 2750-3750

327 C.1865, Austrian Serpentine 3-Weight Vienna Regulator in excellent original condition. There are some small hairlines on the porcelain dial near the numeral 2, and the door has had a small center split filled top & bottom; otherwise this is a great clock. Original hands, pulleys, dial grommets, pendulum, etc. The movement mounts to the case with a seatboard {original}, and with original mounting tabs in place, & with collets from below. A large and impressive clock; ht 56" $3750-4750

328 C.1890, Austrian, Mini 8-Day "R-A" regulator in good original condition. This walnut case has been ebonized and then carved with fine floral detail on all surfaces, sides and bottom. The little movement is finely made with 7 wheels to achieve the week duration with short pendulum. The porcelain dial center has a crack; the chapter ring is fine; bezel good.. Retains original hands and winding grommet {often missing}. Note bottom finial has been crushed and the several pieces glued together; may need a different one. Height 15" $1400-1800

329 C.1895, Austian, 3-Weight Grand Sonnerie wall clock in a quality custom case, our guess made to match the owners furniture at the time. The case is very well made with a dentil molding top, and inset panel in the back with a finely carved pattern. The well made movement is singed Alois Sulz, in Wien {on dial}, and with engraved dial center, pendulum and weights. Note the gilding has been polished off of the weights. Case stabilizers intact as well. Although not your traditional style, this clock should attract attention; height 47" $1750-2250

330 C.1870, Austrian, 3-weight Grand Sonnerie wall regulator in a transitional style with round top with little bullet shaped half finials all around the curved molding. The quality seat board movement is signed on the dial: F. Rauscher, N. Erdburgstrasse Nr. 5 {mostly rubbed off}. The 72 beat movement has been recently cleaned in Vienna, and restrung with slender gut; the dial is perfect with no cracks; smooth weights and pendulum {pend with small crease}. Of the 4 inward facing finials on the door, one tip is missing; the case has a deep purple finish, almost black; key-lock door; key absent, and with original bone handle winding crank. Original large stabilizers intact. Still quite nice. Height 49" $2000-2500

331 C.1890, German, Gustav Becker, 3-weight grand sonnerie wall regulator in a walnut Baroque case. This case is unusual in that the original crest was carved separately and then attached to the flat top case. It looks quite good, but a little different than we are used to seeing. This clock, from the Bednarik collection, has been in storage, and although it runs and strikes, the gut is old and will need replacing. Note embossed pattern on dial center, weights and pendulum and original Becker pulleys. The well made Becker movement is serial #135567, slightly different than the number on the mounting bracket. The ivory colored porcelain dial with red trim between the numerals. Minor tips missing on door trim, but generally a very good clock; ht 47" $2000-2500

332 C.1890, Austrian, 3-Weight Grand Sonnerie wall regulator, Alt Deutsch, in walnut, by Ignatz Nowak, Wien. This clock has had a new top carved by a Viennese cabinet maker and he did quite a nice job. You probably couldn't tell, except that he forgot to put dowels in to hold it on, and the color is a bit dark. This is a long, 72 beat clock, and with an attractive carved panel in the case back. The stabilizers are missing [retainers are there]; the clock is otherwise complete, and with an outstanding movement, mounting on two gilded brackets with thumb screws. Also with key lock door {with key!}. The gut is failing and will need replacing soon. Despite the new top, we would classify this as excellent. Height 58" $2000-2500

333 C.1850, Austrian, Late Biedermeier case, now with a C.1880, 3-weight grand sonnerie movement. Note the seatboard fits in the slides, but is too narrow, and for safety, a wider seat should be made, possibly you could add 1/8 inch to each side to get the strength you need. In any case, the case is attractively veneered with rosewood; has a few nicks and bruises, but is quite attractive. The movement is well made and with a good dial, but has replaced hands {old} and is dirty and will need service. Note pulleys later, and glass is cracked. If this had been all original, we would have expected it to bring around $4500. Height 54" $1750-2250

334 C.1890, Austrian, 2^nd Baroque, 3-Weight, in a walnut case, with restoration. Note the top 6" carving and the "tail" carving are nicely carved replacements; the case has been refinished to a dark mahogany color. The well made Viennese movement is original to the case and retains its original dial, with nicely engraved center and with gilt and engraved mask over the silvered chapter ring. In spite of the restoration, this is an above average clock, with popular "double door" styling, and in running condition; with old wooden handle crank; height 52" $1500-2000

335 C.1880, Austrian, Gebruder Resch Remember 3-weight, oak cased, grand sonnerie wall regulator in very good original condition. The base on this clock is unusual, inlet with geometric patterns; the top is original, but lacks an additional eagle or finial at the very top [one dowel needs replacing]. The well made movement, serial #91659, matches the number on the mounting bracket in the case. Note fancy 3 piece pulleys with scroll extensions. With old wooden handle crank. The clock ran and struck with a bit of hesitation, and will likely need oiling. Key lock case, lacks key. Minor attention will result in an impressive clock; height 53" $1750-2250

336 C.1870, Austrian 3-Weight Grand Sonnerie wall regulator in an outstanding walnut case with burled backboard and burled tail piece, and with 3/4 smooth columns with Corinthian capitals. The movement is made to high standards and with a unique cast bezel having a lace pattern that we have not seen before. The carved wooden top crest has been re-gilded professionally. The pulleys are also well made, each one engraved with two flowers on the front section. And with original ivory handle crank {see image}. Key lock door has no key. The wooden corbels [slide brackets] have come loose and need a little glue to secure them. From a workmanship point of view, this is certainly the nicest Vienna we are selling today. Height 54" $4000-4500

337 C.1875, German, Lenzkirch, 2-Weight wall regulator in the Viennese style, and in excellent original condition. The only things that keeps this from being outstanding are two missing lower finials. The clock is otherwise as nice as they come, complete and original. There is a little paint on the glass, above the pendulum, which shows as a white spot on the image. We expect a lot of interest in this clock; height 50" $2000-2500

338 C.1870, Austrian, Dwarf Serpentine, 1-Weight Vienna Regulator in very good original condition. What keeps this from being excellent are some depressions and scrapes in the door which must have happened when the clock was originally imported, as they have been there for some time, and the door hinges have been changed. However the dial is good {with couple of hairlines}, hands, pulley, top and weight original, and with matched serial numbers on pendulum, movement and bracket; also original brass crank with roller handle. The bob is excellent and smooth. No beat scale. An attractive clock; height 36" $650-850

339 C.1840, French, Inlaid Lyre Clock, the case of rosewood with satinwood inlays of armor, flowers, ribbons and scrolls. This clock has a well made movement signed Fabrique Rollin, Paris, and is clean and running. The silvered brass dial has a delicate engine turned pattern, as was the style at the time; original moon hands. {Note we will take out the movement for shipment on this one, as the bell and crutch stick out precariously from the rear}. The cast floral pendulum is of gridiron style, suspended from the large ormolu spray at the apex. Ht 23" $2500-3000

340 C.1895, French, Double Statue, Bronzed spelter swinging mystery timepiece {double swinger} in excellent original condition. Clock retains nice patina on statues as well as the arm itself. The dial has a small stain below 6 where a chip was glued back on the dial and the glue has turned brown {we couldn't see this until we took a close up photo, and it is only visible under a magnifier}. This is a great double swinger ….and if you like American, see next lot. Height 23½" $4000-4500

341 C.1895, Ansonia Clock Co., Fisher & Falconer, double statue swing clock in very good original condition. Clock retains nice age and patina throughout, and a great "arm" with excellent paper dial {see detail image}. Bronzed finish is worn from upper portions of statues, but this is about as good as it gets. Running. Height 27" $4000-4500

342 C.1890, French Bronzed Spelter Swinging Mystery Timepiece {swinger}, HARVEST, in very good to excellent original condition. There is some paint loss on the ball where the hour hand scraped in its travel {see detail image}, but this is ver minor. The clock is otherwise complete and sound. Height 29" $3500-4000

343 C.1890, Ansonia JUNO Ball Swing Clock, in very good original condition, including original green paint on the ball [with minor paint loss, and small ding in rear], and original hands. The only item that keeps this from being excellent is that the brass portion of the arm has been painted with cheap gold paint….that could be carefully removed. Height 28" $3250-4250

344 C.1890, Ansonia JUNO Canister Swing Clock, in very good original condition. At some time the statue was overcoated with a thin dark glaze, but this was done some time ago, looks fine, and detail shows well. The "tin can" arm is excellent and original and the clock is running strongly. Height 28" $3250-4250

345 C.1880, Lenzkirch, Walnut & Ormolu mantel clock in good original condition. Minor items keep this from being excellent: rear corner of top molding broken away, retainer screw for mount replaced with modern screw. These are minor items for an otherwise uncommon and attractive clock. Quality round movement, signed Lenzkirch, strikes the hours and halves on a coiled wire gong. The case surmounted by a bronze winged cherub, atop a globe, holding a wreath aloft with his right hand. Nice present for a medallist in the summer games; height 22" $900-1200

346 C.1900, French, Bronzed Spelter Clock Set, a reclining female angel with trumpet, and with matching urns with covers, with restoration. This is a large and heavy set, note the base of the clock alone is 20 inches wide. The well made bell strike movement in good order, and with good porcelain dial with polychrome wreath decorations and original gilt hands. Very impressive; ht 20" $700-900

347 C.1970 Chelsea Clock Co., Chelsea, Mass. 8-day "The Willard Banjo". Clock has original tablets with some flaking on the lower glass {a piece of card now behind glass}. The case is in very nice original condition. Retains original Chelsea winding key. Runs and strikes fine. Ht 32" $600-800

348 C.1848, Chauncey Jerome, New Haven, Conn, and 175 Broadway, New York, and 73 Hanover St, Boston, an early 8-day detached lever timepiece, in an iron front case with mother of pearl decorations. This clock has some minor items that need attention, but is overall in excellent original condition. Signature on original dial is still good, all MOP is present, movement is mechanically sound and even running through the dirt; hour hand incorrect; bezel latch missing. Best part is great original cardstock label with several addresses. Note the spring on the movement is 1 3/8" wide, and far too heavy to wind directly, so there is a 1/8 reduction gear to give the user enough leverage to safely wind it. Movement is signed. Original mirror in lower bezel is still good enough to shave by. Height 18" $400-600

349 C.1840, French, Lyre Clock on Musical Base, less dome. This is a superb looking clock, all the mounts on the crotch mahogany case of fine quality and with their original gilding. Best part is the matching base {which originally had a dome}, that has a well made Swiss 2-tune music box, pull wind, with buttons on the front for change and repeat, engraved in a small mother of pearl cartouche. The well made pinwheel movement has been cleaned and is in good running order. Note there are a couple of dry splits in this solid mahogany case, which is to be expected for its age. Height 24 ½" $3750-4250

350 C.1905, Ansonia Clock Co., "Apex", crystal regulator in Syrian Bronze and in very good condition. Much of the dark bronze color has been polished away on the corners and high spots, but this is still an eye catching clock…the top of the Ansonia line sold for around $100 at the time. Retains original cast and gilded pendulum; xlnt porcelain dial with open 'scape and in running order. All the beveled glass is fine. This extra heavy clock will require premium packing and shipping. If you want one crystal regulator, this is the one. Ht 18 ½" $3250-4250

351 C.1847, Birge & Fuller, Bristol, Conn, Wagon Spring, Steeple on case with 4 candle stands, with restoration. The case was stripped with a brillo pad and the veneer is scored, and some of the glue joints are failing. The bottom tablet is original [and wonderful]; top tablet was repainted to match long ago {and a decent job of it, but hasn't the age}. The label has some tears, but is very good and fully legible. The original dial is super. 8-day movement is sound and running. If you are handy with finishing you could improve this clock a lot. A good looking example of Birge & Fuller's work; height 25" $2000-2500

352 C.1820, Eli Terry & Sons, Plymouth, Conn, Pillar & Scroll in very good restored condition. The dial was repainted by Martha Smallwood {the best} in 1975 {sticker on rear of dial}, and the tablet was redone at the same time. The scrolls have been broken and repaired a couple of times, but are original to the case. Feet with repairs and new glue blocks, but old. The label has a hole in the center, but is still fully legible. Retains period weights, crank and embossed pendulum. This clock has lived in one home near Dallas for the last 25 years, and despite the restorations is a very presentable scroll. Height 31" $1400-1800

353 C.1895, German, Lenzkirch, Porcelain china clock of the finest quality, showing a young man in his uniform to the left and a lady in formal dress to the right, the case profusely decorated with hand painted flowers. The only minor defect we could find in the case is a tiny chip on the young man's lapel, and we had to study if for 10 minutes to find that. All other fingers, ribbons, ringlets, etc. are intact and no evidence of repairs. The well made Lenzkirch signed movement, striking on a bell, serial number [1-million-81900], and with assembly #47 and matching number pendulum. Height 18" $1750-2250

354 C.1915, German, Junghans, Berlin style free swinger, Art Nouveau, with arch dial. Except for a replaced gong and base, this clock would be outstanding. It has been in storage and would benefit from service, but is running and striking. Note silvered butterfly and flowers on copper finish dial, and original silvered pendulum with flowers that match dial center. Walnut case retains original top trim and all finials. Height 41" $800-1000

355 C.1890, French, Patinated Spelter Conical timepiece in good original condition. It appears that the chains have been renewed, yet all the attaching hardware and the suspension are original. The ball, hands and plumb bob are original as well. These particular clocks are sometimes called mystery clocks, since the clock revolves around the plumb bob in the center {which is also free to move}. It is simply that gravity and the resulting friction between the center chain links are greater for the plumb bob than for the ball and movement. Height 20¾" $6500-7500

356 C.1851, French, Miniature Skeleton Alarm clock, the dome with a small crack. I may have had the source information incorrect in previous descriptions of this model, as I have referred to its introduction at the Paris Exhibition of 1851 and I stand corrected, as it was rather the Great Exhibition at Hyde Park, London, at the French exhibit. In any case, full details on this clock may be found in the book Skeleton Clocks by F.B.Royer-Collard, pages 69 and 70, and its twin is pictured in detail on page 69, showing the alarm, the fine engraving on the front plate of the clock, and even the engraving on the pendulum itself. This clock is from a home in Boston, has some wear and tear on the base but is generally in very good condition. Height 9¾" $900-1200

357 C.1920, Seth Thomas, "Regulator No. 2" in mahogany and in excellent original condition. Retains original dial, hands, weight, pend, and most important original finish with good patina. Inside label intact and legible. Height 36" $1000-1500

358 C.1908, German, Gustav Becker, 2-Weight regulator, serial number 2,203,545. This clock is made of solid oak {even the backboard} and to the highest standards. It is VERY heavy {50 lb.} and requires a strong nail to hold it. The full turned columns on the door are accented with Noveau influence bases and capitals, and a finely carved top of scrolls and floral designs. The best words I can describe are "understated elegance". The movement has a silvered brass dial on which the numbers have been touched up, and retains original hands and pulleys; movement is original to the case. Strikes the hours and halves on a large iron Gloria gong. Height 44" $800-1200

359 C.1941 {dated}, Hamilton Model 21 Ship's chronometer in a later mahogany box. This clock runs briskly and is very clean, last overhauled in the early 1980s. These run two days on a winding; with up-down indication on the dial; they are powered via chain and fusee, and with 14 jewels. This particular clock was made under contract by Hamilton for the U.S. Navy, and is number {28}1880. Note these clocks wind to the left. Height 7 ½" $900-1200

360 C.1895, Ansonia, Royal Bonn La Capelle, in very good original condition. The only minor item that keeps this from being excellent are some hairlines in the solid dial {no chips}. The case itself is excellent, a soft blue-gray color with purple and white pansies in the center and smaller yellow daisies in the margins. The sides are decorated with smaller flowers . Clean and running. Would be twice this estimate with open 'scape. Height 15" $550-650

361 C.1905, Ansonia, Royal Bonn La Mayenne, in very good original condition. This clock also with solid porcelain dial and original hands. Attractive white case with sky blue margins and gold highlights, the flowers are mixed colors, and the sides also with large attractive flowers. Movement runs and strikes, but should be cleaned for long term service. Would be twice this estimate with open 'scape. Height 13 ¼" $550-650

362 C.1905, Ansonia, La Nord, Royal Bonn Porcelain china clock in very good condition. The case on this clock is superb and the porcelain dial is also excellent; only minor flaw is the hands which, although old, are incorrect {proper set is available from Timesavers}. Note rich accents in gold and pale green, and with multi color flowers on front, top and sides. Height 11¾" $1000-1250

363 C.1915, Ansonia, La Savoie, Royal Bonn Porcelain china clock in very good condition.

These replacement chapter rings are available from several suppliers: Timesavers stock #20111 is priced at $29 for both the center and chapter ring. The rest of the clock is clean and nice; tri-color motif, dark pink at top to lime green and down to forest green at the base. Height 11 ¼" $900-1100

With a good French bell strike movement, with royal blue numerals on a porcelain dial; nice gilt hands. Height 11½" $1200-1400

365 C.1900, French Crystal Regulator with ships wheel balance. This is a very interesting mantel regulator and extremely eye catching with the ships wheel rotation slowly to right and left.

All this plus open escapement on the dial makes for a great clock. Height 11½" $3000-3500

366 C.1880, French, Annular Dial Urn clock in excellent original condition. The platform lever movement drives the horizontal chapter rings in a circular motion, while the "hand" is a fixed pointer in the cherub’s hand.

To wind the clock you remove the top and turn the dials to expose the vertical winding arbor. Height 11" $5500-6500

367 C.1920, Swiss, Gubelin & Co, Lucerne Turtle Clock, in good original condition. The mahogany cases on these always suffer a little bit because of maids who overfilled the dish causing water to run down the sides, and although this one is not perfect, it is among the nicest we have seen. Note the well made Swiss lever timepiece movement drives a circular magnet which in turn positions the floating turtle in the pewter bowl, pointing his nose to the correct time. A great novelty. Ht 6" $4000-5000

368 C.1895, German, Porcelain China Miniature in outstanding original condition. There are 8 individual high quality cameos on this case, 4 on the base and 4 on the oval dome above. All are exquisite in detail. The movement itself is a rear wind German lever fit up, signed only "4-rubis". The movement is contained in a brass multi-piece globe that hangs from the ceiling of this little "temple". We have included extra images of this clock and wish we had space to include all 8 cameos. This is certain to capture the attention of porcelain lovers. Height 11½" $2500-3500

369 C.1890, French, Windmill Automaton. This clock has two separately wound movements. The first, a time only movement that drives the hands, and a second that is tripped on the hour to strike on a bell. The center arbor of the strike movement is extended to hold the fan of the windmill, and the fan turns during the strike process, and stops when the striking is completed.

385 C.1875, French, 4-Column Empire mantel clock, complete with original dome and base. This clock is not quite the quality of the previous 3; the dial has some small hairlines, the case with a little twist in it due to the columns drying. The mahogany veneered base with matching inlay and with a little velour liner where the dome fits in the groove; one foot on the base is missing a piece [left]. Height 22" $700-900

The porcelain dial has blue numerals, but with small chips by the winding holes and another by 8:30; the minute hand is old, but is too short for this dial. The case is finely chased and retains original gilding in "bright" condition. Despite the minor wear and tear which isn't bad for a 200 year old clock, this is a cute item.

387 C.1860, French, Small Ormolu & Marble mantel clock in the style of Louis XVI. This is a well made little clock with fine detail. The ormolu mounts are finely chased and with original bright yellow gilding. The porcelain dial is perfect, with royal blue numerals and well detailed gilded hands. The top urn is slightly loose and the nut has stripped a bit and so will not stay tight {any good mechanic can solve this in a minimum of time}. A well made clock with a good look; ht 12" $750-1000

388 C.1830 Rodney Brace, North Bridgewater, Mass. Half column and splat with a 30-hour Torrington movement.

391 C.1911, New Haven, "THOREAU" 4-glass crystal regulator in good original condition.

Otherwise this is a nice clock, with porcelain dial and faux mercury pendulum in good condition. Note this model also with open escapement on the dial. Runs fine; ht 15½" $375-475

392 C.1840, French, Ormolu Figural Clock, Music, an attractively gowned harpist shown at the harp, and in excellent original condition. This clock has been in storage for some time and the unsigned silk thread movement will need cleaning, however, the balance of the clock is very nice. The engine turned silvered brass dial is signed Le Roy, Paris {although this is unlikely the maker}. A large and impressive piece certain to be of interest with those who like musical themes. A couple of the harp "strings" are missing. Height 22" $1000-1500

393 C.1830, French, Ormolu & Bronze figural clock, The Snake Lady, in outstanding original condition, with original pendulum, hands and best of all superb original gilding, offset by dark bronze accents.

397 C.1885, French, Industrial "Steam Hammer" in good, as-found condition. This clock has been in storage and is dirty, the movement barley ticks and strikes but is mechanically sound; no chips in marble, etc. In this model, the up and down motion of the hammer striking the anvil continues for the full running duration of the clock [8-Days]. To quote from Derek Roberts’ book: Mystery Novelty & Fantasy Clocks, [1999], page 260, "The hammer forms part of a complex pendulum…..someone would put the metal to be treated below the hammer and on his signal a man in the gallery would depress the lever [showing left] , releasing the steam and actuating the hammer." Note F/Slow corrections are made by turning a nut under the central steam cap. With original movement, striking the hours on a gong. A good, complete, example. Height 18" $2000-2500

398 C.1895, French, for Tiffany & Comp'y., New York, double dial perpetual calendar clock in outstanding restored condition. This is about as good as a calendar clock gets. The well made open 'scape movement with porcelain dial bearing chapter ring in gold and with gilt moon hands, and with an Ellicot style pendulum. The rear plate of the movement carries a wheel with a single pin rotating once in 24 hours that trips the lever to the calendar mechanism below. Note the calendar gives you day, date and month as well as the phases of the moon. Interestingly, there is an additional dial top center that indicates, 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd and leap year, just to remind you in advance to expect a 29^th of February. Height 14½" $8000-12000

399 C.1870, French, Bronzed Spelter Swinging Mystery Timepiece. This rare example is unusual, not so much because the movement is in the ball, but because the entire "Pendule" swings from side to side without apparent impulse. [There is NO fixed pivot point below the movement]. Rather, the ball contains a compound circular pendulum, held by a 3-point "mystery" suspension. The inertial forces of the hidden oscillating pendulum, receiving impulse from the movement, are enough to keep the entire pendule swinging from side to side. Rachel is standing at a fountain holding the clock over a make believe pool [mirror in base]. Height 23" Similar to, but different than a lot we sold in April '99, lot 353. $12,000-15,000

400 C.1875, Seth Thomas, Office Calendar No. 7, time, strike & calendar in walnut, and in fair to good condition.

Also original rollers are very dark {new covers are available if you should choose to replace them}. This is a perpetual calendar, correcting for short months and leap year. This size is quite in demand. Height 26½" $1000-1200

400a C.1879 {dated}, Seth Thomas, "Office Calendar No. 7", [time & calendar] in walnut, and in generally good condition, with restoration. The dials were repainted maybe 25 years ago over the original paint and are really flaking now; you have to strip down to the zinc and use a modern primer to avoid this malady. The case has been refinished, and the veneer is still in good condition. Both interior labels are excellent as are the original rollers. Height 26½" $900-1100

401 C.1868, Seth Thomas, Office Calendar No. 1, in walnut, in generally good restored condition. This clock was completely re-veneered around 30 years ago, and anyone who has ever tried veneering a complicated Seth Thomas molding, knows it is problematic. There are a couple of bubbles and creases in the round bezel veneer, but generally it is an "OK" job. The inside of the door retains original operating instructions {with Plymouth Hollow address}, and the calendar mechanism and rollers are original. Both dials have been professionally repainted with proper numerals and patent information. The weight is an interesting model with a detachable iron pulley on top; looks OK. Runs and the perpetual calendar changes. These have been selling for around $2800 with original veneer, so our estimate considers the current condition. Height 40" $1500-1800

402 C.1878, Southern Calendar Clock Co., "Fashion No. 3" in excellent restored condition and good running order. The best parts of this clock are the original pendulum {with star} and finials.

Clock has a beautiful Welch label on the backboard and a very nice B.B. Lewis Label on the back of the lower door. Overall very good original condition. Ht 20" $650-850

404 C.1874 {dated tag}, Seth Thomas "Parlor Calendar No. 3" , light rosewood and in excellent original condition. The only minor restoration the clock has received is the calendar dial numerals touched up {base paint is original}, and the case rubbed out. Retains a great label with instructions, original rollers, and with a faded typed index card from 1949 when the clock was purchased for $15 in Woodstock, Vt. Clipped to that card is the original Seth Thomas tag advising the clock has been set for April 15^th, 1874. See side view of lively rosewood graining; height 26½" Condition warrants this estimate: $650-850

405 C.1885, Seth Thomas "Parlor Calendar No. 9" in excellent restored condition, the walnut case refinished and the dials repainted, rollers and labels original. The top dial suffered some bends and has been straightened prior to painting; the pendulum and key are proper replacements. There you have it; it looks fantastic. If it were all original we would expect it to bring $4000. Ht 29½" $2500-3500

406 C.1881, E. Ingraham & Co., "Parlor Calendar" in excellent condition. The only thing that keeps this from being outstanding is the repapered time dial. Case retains original finish; Lewis calendar label that is "Like New", embossed Ingraham trademark in bottom of case, original pend, key with Ingraham name {worn and also with a replacement that fits better}. This is a time and strike model; nice clock; refer to Tran Ly's "Calendar Clocks" {1993}, page 105 for additional information on this model. Height 21½" $1200-1400

407 C.1885, Ithaca INDEX double dial perpetual calendar in very good condition. Note there are 2 versions of the Index. The first model may be seen in Ly's Calendar Clocks, page 146, figure 363. The later version, with half columns to the side instead of splats may be seen in Millers Survey of American Calendar Clocks, page 51, fig 138 {note the clock in Miller's illustration has a new and incorrect top}. The walnut case on our clock is original in every aspect except the finish, which has been re-newed. The Index tablet is new, and the dials & rollers were repapered some time ago and are discoloring. Runs and strikes. An uncommon model; ht 32" $1500-2000

408 C.1875 {dated instruction label}, Ithaca CHRONOMETER, 8-day time, strike and perpetual calendar, restored. There is a note inside that this clock was restored in Dallas in 1975. The case has been refinished, dials and rollers re-papered {and now nicely aged and tan around the edges}, and the two trefoils and other minor bits restored to top {a good job}. The inside dial masks are original and retain their gold accents. Gold has been applied to the exterior incising. The clock is complete and sound, and with original "Chronometer" tablet {some scratches, see close up}. Although it ticks and strikes and releases the calendar OK, it would benefit from service. Rear label intact. Height 33" $1400-1800

409 C.1880, Ithaca, "No. 5 EMERALD" Calendar clock in good restored condition. This clock has been stripped to bare wood and refinished and almost looks new {it is old}. The top center finial is incorrect {should be carved} the case is otherwise correct. The dials and rollers have been repapered, the lower pan had rusted a bit and was painted with aluminum paint before the dial was applied, and the calendar circle is just slightly too large for this bezel and pan. In original condition, we would expect this clock to bring $2500. Difficult to find this model. Height 33" $1250-1750

410 C.1880, Southern Calendar Clock Co., "FASHION No.5", in good restored condition. The dials have been papered over with suitable replacements, and the case refinished.

The dials have been refinished by the Dial House {nice job}, the case professionally refinished, and the tablet touched up with gold paint [not the greatest job, but looks fine from a distance]. The finials are also new {well copied from a set of originals}. Runs, strikes on cathedral gong and calendar changes; nickel is rubbed off pendulum, but damascene is still there. In original condition we would have expected this model to be bid to $2250. Note also next lot with bell strike. Height 32" $1250-1750

412 C.1880, Southern Calendar Clock Co., "FASHION No.4", in good restored condition. The dials have been refinished by the Dial House {nice job}, the case professionally refinished.

The dials have been professionally repainted {nice job}, the case refinished and with some veneer repair to the bezels and the entire base newly veneered [1977].

Details on this clock {and other Fashion models} may be found in Ly's book titled Calendar Clocks, page 283. Ht 31" $750-1000

414 C.1880, Ithaca No. 5½ Hanging Belgrade in ash and in good restored condition. The case has been refinished and the dials repapered with proper stock. The case is in excellent condition… only minor repair is the very top trefoil {1"} which was newly made and could be improved. The clock runs and strikes fine, and calendar advances manually OK, but will need adjustment for automatic operation. Height 37" $2000-2500

415 C.1880, Ithaca No. 10 Farmer's Double Dial perpetual calendar clock in very good original condition. Some wear on time dial is commensurate with the age of the clock. Walnut case retains original finish; orig dials, hands, pendulum, top; about as good as it gets. Height 25" $600-800

416 C.1865, Seth Thomas, Plymouth Hollow, 8-Day Parlor Calendar in restored condition. The case has been refinished with varnish and rubbed out with steel wool and really is quite attractive.

Rear of door has been reinforced. The #1 is hard to find, and although this is not the best example, it can be a place holder until you find a better one. Height 29" $750-1000

418 C.1880, Ithaca Favorite No. 4 ½ in generally good original condition. Note on top crest, the little wooden ears, left and right are broken away and missing.

We've had a couple clocks of this model in poor condition, but this one is relatively nice. Ht 32 " $900-1200

420 Mixed Lot: A period Girandole case, now with a modern weight driven movement. The bottom glass is new, but the throat tablet with "L. Curtis" is old.

It is very difficult to estimate a value for this clock, since original Curtis girandoles now fetch over one hundred thousand dollars. Campos repros are around $4500. There is no reserve on this estate item and so we are using a broad estimate; note you are buying an old case with restoration and a new movement. Height 44" $1000-4000

421 C.1828, Unknown, Pillar & Scroll clock in generally nice condition. The clock has a Samuel Terry label which is a recent copy, but the short drop movement is not by Samuel Terry. The lower glass is a very attractive repaint. Retains a great dial with little farm scene below center; the clock does have a nice set of period finials. Although not for the purist, this is a good looking scroll. Height 30" $800-1,000

422 C.1830, Eli Terry & Son, Plymouth, Connecticut, Pillar & Scroll, with restoration. The old dial has been professionally restored {probably from another clock}. The lower glass has been repainted in a primitive fashion. The finials are modern replacements. The scrolls are professional replacements and very well done.

422a C.1825, Eli Terry & Sons, Plymouth, Conn, Pillar and Scroll with restorations. The scrolls are new and of improper construction as well as proportion; finials are new [turned rod, not cast]. The tablet has been repainted in place {putty is original} by an amateur with beginning art skills. Original dial has had black strengthened and repair by 6. It does run and strike; label good. Estimate reflects condition. Ht 32" $600-800

423 C.1843 Hills, Goodrich & Co., Plainville, CT, Hollow Column clock. The clock has had a fair amount of restoration. The case has been refinished, the lower glass has been replaced and the dial has been repainted. The clock has an unusual upside down 30-hour movement and has an original set of weights. Notice detail image of the tablet, United States Hotel at Saratoga; this is a proper decakomania repro on old glass... very well done; putty around tablet is new. Label poor but legible. Ht 31" $350-550.

424 C.1950, Swiss Musical Alarm Clock, dore bronze and gray onyx. This is a little jewel of a clock, the dial surround of engine turned brass, silvered and then with translucent blue enamel over the top. The center of the dial is ivory-like, some porous material with a hand painted scene of 3 cherubs in the clouds [there is a minor vertical crack in this panel]. Two tune music box is wound from the bottom and released by a lever on the movement, and plays in lively fashion on manual activation. The well jeweled 8-day movement is wound and set from the rear, however stops when it approaches the set alarm time; worth the attention to restore. Height 5" $1400-1800

425 C.1960, Swiss NOAHS ARK commemorative desk clock. This is a clock of very high quality: bronze frame on a mottled red marble base, and the dial plate with a fired enamel scene of animals emerging from the ark in pairs, and with Noah standing in the rear of the ark, arms outstretched to the heavens. The gilded chapter ring is suspended in space in front of the scene, and with gilded hands. This well jeweled 8-day movement is running. Has a fine vernier adjustment for fast and slow. Ht 6¼" $1200-1500

426 C.1870, Austrian, Mini Annular Dial clock, blue enamel over silver, with hand painted female displays. The silver has a gentle damascene pattern that reflects through the translucent blue enamel. The case hardware is silver {excluding movement and dial}, with some oxidation.. The top has 3 standing ladies in gowns in small cameos, and the base 3 child’s faces in cameos. The urn is attached to a small octagon of white marble as a base. In viewing the top, realize that each cameo is only about ½ inch high, and is hand painted with amazing detail This is an excellent example; time only. The only minor detraction is two missing jewel drops [glass] that can be left as-is or replaced with similar drops from a jewelry supply house {see detail image}. Refer to May 2000, lot 213, cousin to this clock sold for $4550+ Height 4.7" $3000-4000

427 C.1880, Gilt Brass Carriage Clock, Petit Sonnerie with alarm and repeat. This ROCOCO case is cast and finished in high relief, the corner columns appear as twisted vines with birds and salamanders. Each corner of the top has a flying squirrel, and each corner of the base a spread winged bird, the center with dogs chasing a pig. This case is pictured in Charles Allix book Carriage Clocks, page 179. The dial mask is profusely engraved with flowers and leaves in exquisite detail; both porcelain dials are excellent. But the best parts are the wonderful hand painted panels on each side showing a fantasy of winged cherubs at play {see detail images}. Original platform intact; movement signed Ch. Grottendieck, Bruxelles. Height [handle up] 7" $3500-4500

428 C.1910, French Brass Cased Carriage clock, time and alarm with a floral mask. The case has square fluted columns at each corner, and an inlet base and top with pressed brass trim inserts. Case assembly has been greatly simplified, the top pieces all held to the columns by the 4 threaded finials, and the bottom and feet held on by the 4 screws up through the bun feet. All beveled glass panes are good. The intricate mask is both fretted and engraved, and with creamy colored porcelain dials; original lever platform intact. Ht 5¾" $750-850

429 C.1900, French, Brass Cased Carriage Clock, time and alarm, with a jeweled sash and with multicolor cloisonné bands top and bottom. Both the dial and movement are signed: J. E. Caldwell, Philadelphia {dial sig weak}. The dial also with polychrome floral wreaths within the numerals. Original lever platform intact; an attractive little clock; ht 5¾" $950-1050

430 C.1900, French, Brass Cased Carriage Clock, Grand Sonnerie, Repeat and Alarm, in excellent original condition. This is an extra clean clock with all beveled glass good and the porcelain dial perfect; original hands and lever platform intact. With selector level in the base for Grd. Sonnerie, Silence, or Hours & Quart's. Nice to see a clock that has not been mucked about. Ht, handle up, 7¼" $2250-2750

431 C.1900, French, Brass Cased Carriage clock, time, strike and repeat in very good original condition. This is a standard Cornish case and retains most of its original gilding, with wear along the edges. Porcelain dial is perfect, except for some dirt. Retains original lever platform in good order; movement with serial number 1949. Ht 6 ¾" $850-1050

432 C.1960, English, Rolling Ball Clock, with a glazed cover. This is one of the largest rolling balls we have seen. But more important it is the running-est ball clock we've ever come across. As long as it is wound and the ball is on the table it wants to keep running. Anyone who has struggled to keep one running will appreciate that aspect. This has a very large "table" with 150" of groove, taking 30 seconds +/- for the ball to travel from one end to the other. The maker fashioned a strong base with leveling screws at each corner, and covered with purple velvet. Although not an antique, this will certainly please anyone with an interest in mechanical curiosities. Englishman, Wm. Congreve is credited with making the first rolling ball clock. Width of base = 22", ht 19½" $4000-4500

433 C.1820, Austrian Gilt Wood Cartel clock in generally good original condition.. In the early 19^th century, when the French were producing this style clock in bronze and ormolu, resources were limited in Austria for such casting, with the result the cases were carved from wood and finished in gesso and gold leaf. This clock has lost a couple of grapes and leaf tips but is otherwise complete, some trim is loose. The top finial is original, but just setting for the photo, as the dowel is broken away. The movement is a well constructed silk thread, bell strike {original}, and with Geneva stop-work intact. The pendulum is original as well, and is visible swinging behind the central railing. The porcelain dial has some small chips around the winding holes, but is generally good. The delicate fretted hands are original. Ht 26½" $2000-2500

434 C.1816 Seth Thomas, Plymouth, Conn., 30-hour wooden movement tall clock. The dial is rather dirty and in need of restoration {surface and corners are intact, but chapter and signature will need restoration}. The hands are from a later school clock, but replacements are available. The movement is in good condition with no broken teeth visible. The movement still retains its Terry type calendar mechanism {often missing}. The clock has an old set of tin can weights. The case was refinished recently; floor of base reinforced with a piece of pine. Top crest and pipes old; finials maybe 100 yrs. Modest estimate based on condition of dial. Height 89" $800-1200

435 C.1820, S. Edwards, Gorham [Maine], Wooden works tall clock in excellent original condition. This pine case retains original grained finish, skirt, feet and hood; note original fret on hood and center pillar was never drilled for a finial… two side ones look like they have always been there. The dial is excellent, with minor flakes here and there. And with original tin can weights. Great Americana. Ht 89" $2000-3000

436 C.1830, French, 8-day Tallcase Clock, the dial signed Tho. Mayer. This clock undoubtedly comes from the west coast of France, as the movement shows a great deal of English influence, i.e., large rectangular brass plates with rack and snail on the front plate, however the wheelwork and pillars are typically French, and the brass dial plate has both a French porcelain dial as well as cast brass trim in the French style, also sunburst hands. This clock is running and striking, however the dial has loss of porcelain that has been painted white and other nicks and stains that still need attention. The county French pine case has a beveled panel front with false grain paint in very good condition. Bottom 14" plinth is newly made. In a day when big name clocks sell for many thousands, this clock is sure to have appeal. Ht 87" $1200-1600

437 C.1920, German, Lenzkirch Westminster Chime Hall clock in very good original condition. The robust and high quality 3-weight movement carries the Lenzkirch trademark, as does the 8 rod gong assembly in the rear of the case, and the pendulum; the weights are original. The tone of both the chime and hour strike are very fine and I am sure that modern clock manufacturers wish they could make the new ones sound this melodious. Both doors lock with the original key, and side inspection ports are hinged. The "Edwardian" look of this fumed oak case goes well with arts and crafts furniture. There are minor nicks and scrapes to the case. Running; ht 84" $1000-1500

438 Mixed lot: A C.1820 Silas Hoadley Wooden movement and dial, for which a C.1990 custom case was made by Varne Kimmick, and a brass plaque inside the door to attest the work. The lines of the case are those of a New England country cabinet maker, however Varne used solid walnut for this case, with the result that it is very heavy. The dial has had a repair in the arch above the 11; and the signature is a little weak {but fully legible}. The weights are repro rock/sand filled. Seems to run; height 81" $500-700

439 C.1840, English, North Country Tall Case Clock, 8-day, time and strike with rolling moon. This mahogany clock is in generally good condition, but has some points that should be discussed. The base or plinth has had about 6" cut off leaving it a bit squat looking; a modern molding has been added that really isn't tall enough for the job. The movement is sound and complete except for a missing calendar gear. The dial is attractively painted with floral corners; fretted brass hands are original. Nice broken arch hood with carved grapes between the horns. Ht 87" $1750-2250

440 C.1881, {dated} French Morbier Tall Clock in good original condition, porcelain dial signed Saunier. Some of the glue joints are loose in the case and there is some minor worm damage {no current activity}. Retains original painted surface in good condition {with some wear and scrapes}. The large 2-weight movement has an iron frame with steel side doors. Dial surround and pendulum with matching motif, with accent paint in red, white & blue. The movement has been serviced and re-strung and is in operating order. Perfect for someone with country-French décor. Height 92" $1200-1800

441 C.1795, Paul Kandler, Trieste, a Grand Sonnerie bracket clock in good, as-found condition. This clock has many nice features for its age. Note the arch dial with simple calendar in the arch, along with a faux pendulum. Right and left subsidiary dials are for Schlaget, - Schl Nicht., and Repetiert, Nicht Repet. The hands have been repaired and the top finials incorrectly replaced with brass ball feet. The verge movement geared for 56 hours of operation, is large and robust, with heavy baluster pillars, and floral engraving on the backplate, also with serial number 235. Backplate also with vacant holes from removal of side supports. Height 20" $900-1200

442 C.1910 Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Conn., Parlor Calendar No. 3. This case, veneered in walnut is in beautiful condition. The dials appear to have been varnished at some time and show the effects of yellowing and loss of the varnish. There is one tiny veneer chip in the upper left corner of the case. Overall very good+ condition. Height 29 " $600-800

443 C.1870, French, Douillon, Figural Clock, an eagle holding a globe on its shoulders. This clock has been presented twice, first to Ignatius Sargent some time after his retirement in 1864 and then again in 1927 to his son Charles Sargent on his retirement from Globe National Bank, Boston. The well made round movement is signed Douillon; he was certainly very ingenious to mount the movement in at an odd angle, then extend the bridge for the verge back 2 inches so the pendulum could swing in the small space behind the eagle. The presentation base has been rotated 180° so the engraving is out of view in the rear. Most of the bright gilding is still intact, and the fine detail on the eagle is amazing. Must be some "Globe" company out there that would have a special interest in this item. Note the last repairman to clean this replaced mounting screws with phillips screws which can be changed back by a good mechanic. You turn rear half of globe to remove it. Height 20" $3500-4000

444 C.1890, French, Clock, Calendar, Barometer combination with astrological motif, the base decorated with enamels on porcelain of the 12 Zodiac signs, and the globe containing the movement, covered with little gilt bronze stars. Note the calendar has openings to display the month, date and day of the week. These indications are in English, and each roller is turned manually with a little bronze button on the enamel surface of the calendar mechanism. The Marti bell strike movement is of good French quality. The case is all brass and ormolu. Height 16 ½" $2500-3000

445 Mid 20^th Century, Chelsea 8 ½ Inch Ship's strike, red brass, screw bezel, fully restored. This clock was consigned by a sailor who had the clock fully restored, case polished, dial re-silvered, mahogany base restored and refinished and with new screws, new base board and felt. The repair bill alone was several hundred dollars. Note the black spot over the strike winder is a hand stop to keep the clock from running during transit. Runs fine and with Chelsea key. Height 13 " $1500-1800

446 C.1875, German, Gustav Becker, Small 2-Wt regulator with 5" dial. This is a cute clock with original finish. The old top has lost its center gallery and just has a finial there now; bottom finials are new. The well made Becker movement, serial number 270446 is original to the case and clean and with a perfect porcelain dial. The clock has a new pendulum stick, and the slot for the crutch needs to be lowered just a little. A Vienna collector with a little ingenuity can improve this uncommon size clock; height 39" $900-1200

447 C.1900, German, Junghans, "Keyhole" regulator in walnut and in good original condition. The bezel is loose on the dial plate, but otherwise this is complete and sound and with original factory hardware, top, finish, and eagle. 8-day. Height 44" $500-700

448 C.1830, Austrian, Biedermeier, Grand Sonnerie wall regulator in good original condition, with later top trim.

Retains original steel rod and brass disc pendulum with brass retainer on the rear. Nice early beat scale, hands, pulley and crank {crank with repairs}. Although it could use a little detailing, this is a nice early clock; ht 39" $2000-2500

449 C.1850, Chauncey Jerome, New Haven, fusee steeple clock, 8-day, time and strike. The detractions on this clock are the dial which has been garishly repainted and with gold transfers in the corners, and a later set of hands that are too large for the clock. Otherwise it is a good original clock with a great label, and retains Jerome's interesting fusee movement {signed} with winding stops intact. Best part is a good tablet of Alameda de Paula Havana. Dealing with the dial and hands will make this into a good clock; height 20" $375-475

450 C.1850, Smith & Goodrich, Bristol, Conn, Sub-mini 30 hour fusee, round band in good condition. The case has been refinished and there are some cracks and bubbles in the veneer [not bad, but there]. Retains original dial [numerals strengthened long ago], and an xlnt label. The old tablet has been repainted by one of those GREAT NY artists {wish I knew who}, and it looks the part quite well Interestingly, the bottom left corner of the door was originally inlet for the hinge [on the wrong side]; the wood is aged nicely and a hinge was never installed. Height 15" $450-650

451 C.1860, Austrian, Late Biedermeier, two weight wall regulator in very good as-found condition. This clock came to us from storage in Lucerne, and does need cleaning. On the other hand, it retains original movement and good original finish on case, and is worthy of your effort. Porcelain dial is very good, minute hand is incorrect and needs replacing; needs 2 top finials. Has a great early beat scale. Ht 45" $450-650

452 C.1870, German, Lenzkirch {unsigned} 1-weight wall regulator No. 83, as-found less top leaves. Any Lenzkirch collector will recognize the paper veneered back, the hands, movt bracket and case hardware, but the well made movement, serial number 184484, as is sometimes the case, does not bear the factory Lenzkirch mark. This clock too, comes from storage in Lucerne and needs cleaning and with minor nicks and scrapes; some hairlines in dial as well. Lots of potential if you can carve the top 2 leaves {we can provide an image of what it should look like}. Height 39" $450-650

453 C.1880, Austrian, Adolphe Stern, Vienna, rare 1-weight miniature with 4.5'"dial. The only shortcoming on this clock we could find is a dry split at top of the door.

Well made movement, serial #49260, with matching bracket and pendulum hardware {note pend stick is restored}. Weight needs better hook {minor in the scheme of things}.

The label has some stains and a hole below the makers' name, but is generally good as well; equation of time charts are intact. The dial has some small cracks lower left but is very good with original gilding and chapter intact. These movements take a lot of power and the previous owner added about a half pound of lead to the top of each iron weight. The original stenciling on the columns is fabulous. Minor veneer chip by key lock in lower door. If this were in all original condition we would rate a $1600 clock, and our estimate is adjusted accordingly. Ht 37" $900-1200

465a C.1920, Seth Thomas SOLAR, all brass mantel clock, 8-day striking, with half hour indication on a cupped bell.

Full Plymouth Hollow label with some stain and signed Plymouth Hollow 2-weight movement as well. This is a super clock; broad estimate reflects anticipated interest. Height 25" $200-500

475 C.1875, Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Conn., Parlor Calendar No. 1. This clock is veneered in Rosewood. The case has a few chips in the veneer and some lifting along the edges of the upper molding and veneer loss on the molding above the door, and minor veneer repairs. The upper dial has some paint loss {flaking} in the center, and the lower dial with flaking in the margins, but overall the clock is good condition. Very good original rollers. Height 33 " $800-1200

476 C.1884 National Calendar Clock Co., New Haven, Conn. "Fashion" calendar clock. This model was manufactured by the New Haven Clock Co. The gold leaf that once filled the letters has flaked off leaving only an outline of the Fashion name. The clock has small flowers painted on the dial panel which were probably added at a later date {but have certainly been there 100 years or more-I would leave them}. Superior original dials and original brass hands. This is one of the nicest National Fashions we have ever had. Height 32" $1000-1500

477 C.1885 E. N. Welch Mfg Co., Forestville, Conn.. ARDITI perpetual calendar clock. This clock was made by Welch but distributed by D. J. Gale who patented the calendar mechanism. The dials have been repainted and are quite bright {non-antique finish} The walnut case is in exceptional condition, and with all 3 labels intact {Gale inner and 2 Welch exterior}. Running. Height 28 " $1000-1500

477a C.1880, Waterbury Clock Co., Calendar No. 44, with all 3 rear labels [fair condition, some holes, legible], and with an interesting black/red/gold tablet that has been painted to substitute for the missing dial surround board. The walnut case is in good condition and the movements are original to the case; dials have been repapered with proper stock. The 44 is difficult to find; perhaps you are able to make the dial surrounds? Runs OK, T/S/Alarm. Height 24" $600-800

478 C.1795, Austrian, Picture Frame clock, time and strike in good condition, except for cracked front glass. The well made two day movement retains original crown wheel and verge with pivoted pendulum. It ticks and strikes but is out of adjustment and will need service before regular use. It is quite interesting to see an arch brass dial on the style of clock, not to mention the fake pendulum aperture above the 12. See also the hand painted disc in the top of a village scene in the Alps {with a small repair in the center}. A decent 18^th century clock, worthy of your attention. Height 16" $800-1200

479 C.1915, Probably German, Animated alarm clock, "Teacher Spanking Pupil" {how outmoded today!!}, in restored condition. This bezel has been straightened and the glass replaced. The original dial is intact with excellent detail, in shades of black, blue and white, with only minor mildew spots. The clock is in good running order with excellent spanking action, the teacher flailing a bunch of twigs. You can't help but smile when you watch this one. Height 5" $750-1000

480 C.1900, Seth Thomas, "Empire No. 32", crystal regulator in overall very good original condition. The only small shortcoming is one cracked glass tube on the faux mercury pendulum. Otherwise the clock appears to have received excellent care, and with good porcelain dial signed Seth Thomas plus fancy polychrome wreath decoration. Original hands and hardware intact and beveled glass is good; movement sound. This is one of the more desirable Seth Thomas models. W=14.5", ht 20" $1200-1600

481 C.1880, French, Blue Cobalt porcelain lyre with ormolu mounts. This clock is on the small side, with 3¼" dial and 4¾" brilliant ring {ring swings from side to side when clock runs}. The ormolu retains original frosty yellow gilding, and the detail on the mounts is very fine. The porcelain dial is xlnt with polychrome floral decorations. Note the ring hangs a tiny bit lower that we are used to seeing, and it appears that a shorter suspension spring would correct this. See also hand chased "lyre" hands that retain their original gilding. A nice little clock; ht 17½" $4000-5000

482 C.1936, German, Animated Alarm Clock, Gymnast. This clock appears to have been made for the summer Olympics, as several international flags circle the stadium, and 3 men watch the contestant at the cross bar, who is continuously animated, twirling end over end all the while the clock runs, with brief pauses. The outer case has been repainted medium red, and the movement cleaned. A separate alarm set dial is on the rear of the clock, and with separate winders for time and alarm springs. A button between the handle supports turns the alarm on and off. Alarms loudly {with encouragement to start it}. Ht 5 ½" $750-1000

483 C.1925, German, Animated Alarm Clock. This clock has very subtle animation that you have to be patient to see. On the dial are the stocking feet of someone in bed asleep. To the left of center is a doorway, that shows a closed door when the alarm is wound. When the alarm sounds, as the spring unwinds and the sleeper is not responding, his neighbor, carrying a lantern, appears as the door opens, all in full view as the alarming ceases. Height 7" $400-500

484 C.1910, German, Animated Alarm Clock, the Boot Polisher and shoe repairman in good original condition. A few years ago, a bunch of these shoe repairmen [with double animation] came into the US from China, having been converted from regular alarm clocks. This particular clock has single animation, the boy on the left brushing a boot with broad strokes. The case with repairs and evidence of straightening; polished to brass. The dial itself is in excellent original condition, with minor discoloration to the left of 9. Height {handle up} 7" $600-800

484a C.1899 {dated dial} Regent Mfg, POLITICAL Alarm clock in excellent original condition. At first we thought they were presidents around the outside of the dial, but in 1899 Roosevelt was the young fellow that you see in the image. Since Dewey appears in the center, perhaps they were his political allies. They all appear to be in military blues, so perhaps they were West Point graduates? In any case the dial is in remarkable condition and certain to be of interest to those interested in U.S. history. Small dent in case, lower right. Ht 6 ¼" $900-1200

485 C.1880, Black Forest Carved Figural clock, pheasant family, in good original condition. The tip of the beak of the lower left hen has been missing a long time, and the comb feathers of the rooster are broken off in the rear {neither of these is too noticeable}. The detail on the leaves and the bird feathers and feet in amazing. Typical French 8-day time and strike movement. The hands have been painted white to make them easier to read. Note individual cartouche numerals on the wooden dial; the number VII is replaced by a close match. Height 20½" $1500-1800

486 C.1895, Ansonia Clock Co., "Fisher & Hunter" double statue figure clock, as-found. Most of the original bronze finish has been rubbed off… down to the white metal. The right figure is loose on the base {one stud missing}. Trident is loose in fishers hand; rear cover is off the hinge. Still, everything is there, unbroken and will refinish and restore nicely. Retains good open 'scape movement and fine porcelain dial with open escapement. Would be $2000 if all original. Ht 21½" $900-1200

487 C.1880, New Haven Clock Co., Jeweler's regulator #3, in mahogany. This clock is an example of how things vary from the catalogs. If you look at Tran Ly's 1997 book on New Haven, you will see the Regulator #2 with this crest and railing, but with a bust of Diana, while on the Regulator #3 you see a different railing, but with the deer head present on this one. Finally in the 1886 catalog, the clock has the pierced molding with the deer as we have here. In all cases, the 3 jar mercurial pendulum was an option. This clock has a lot of potential. It has been hanging in a low ceiling room, and the top removed. The main case was stripped and refinished, however the top never was, the top side trims are missing as are other small trim blocks and rosettes. This clock has been in daily use and maintained regularly; the mercury is included in a lexan jar, but will not be on display; the weight new but adequate. With original crank. Ht 86" {bottom 2" trim missing}. Would be $8000 if complete. $4000-5000

488 C.1840, Austrian 5-Glass mantel regulator, with date and moon phase, and with a repeat button on the left side of the case. This is a very interesting and well made clock, with fusee for the time and a large going barrel for the strike; the wheels are all nicely spoked and the snail is skeletonized. It appears, with a quick count, to run for a week and this is unusual for Austrian mantel clocks of this period {winds from the rear}. The brass case is fire-gilt, the base with a mock brick motif, and with 4 little pineapple finials at top. The platform and lever are hand made, commensurate with this period, with an "English flavor" to the construction. One would not expect such heavy beveled glass for the time period, but we see no evidence of it being changed and we have seen early weight movements, encased in heavy beveled glass similar to this. The moon dial has a single hairline across the center. In the end, an uncommon and desirable Austrian clock; ht 13" $10000-12000

489 C.1839 C. & N. Jerome, Bristol, Conn. 30-hour round side clock in generally good+ condition. The case is in nice condition with some veneer repair below the top cornice and along the base. The upper door tablet and mirror are original, although there has been some touch up on the reverse of the mirror. The hands are not original and the dial has been repainted {the black portion}. The brass escutcheon on the door is missing. The clock still has its original card label inside. Height 22" $250-350

489a C.1890, Swiss, 6 tune Music Box, in generally good condition. Some bits of inlay are missing from the lid, and the center hold down screw for the comb is missing {a good machinist can make you one, using either of the other 2 for a pattern}. Box retains its original tune sheet, and plays loudly for its size, including Cavelleria Rusticana and a couple of cute waltzes. Cylinder = 4¼" , box width 14", height 5½" $475-575

490 C.1845, Forestville Manufacturing Co., Forestville, Conn., 8-day, double deck clock.. Although this clock has been stripped of its original finish, it has a great pair of original glasses that have had some touchup and a super label. The original dial has a small amount of paint loss, but is still bright with floral corners. The upper door lock is missing. This a great looking clock with wonderful pineapple splat and pineapple tops on the columns. The crotch mahogany veneers will really show well when some finish is applied; great potential. Height 40" $600-800

491 C.1865 L.F. & W.W. Carter, Bristol, Conn., 8-day weight driven calendar. This clock is veneered in rosewood with grained bezels and is in very good condition with only a couple of small veneer chips. The doors have been refinished, but show some remnants of their original grain painting. Both dials and hands are original; lower dial with some "clean" spots where an overzealous restorer tried windex on the dial. The upper door glass is a replacement. The latch for the lower door is missing. Still a decent clock with good labels and original weights. Ht 25" $1000-1250

492 C.1886 Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Conn., Parlor Calendar No. 4. This is a very nice clock with the use of walnut and veneer with ebonized trim. There are some small veneer chips on the case and both dials have been professionally repainted. Has both original labels and original rollers in good+ condition. Overall a very good clock that looks great. Height 25" $800-1200

493 C.1875, Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Conn. Office Calendar No. 2. This 8-day weight driven clock is veneered in Rosewood. The case suffers from veneer chips around the outer bezels and lower molding. There is some roughness on the base molding and some veneer lifting on the top molding. The case has its original glasses, dials, hands, weight and pendulum + xlnt interior label. With some veneer work it could be a beautiful clock. Ht 43" $1000-1500

494 C.1890, French, Gilded Bronze Mantel clock, with a hand painted porcelain panel in front with dial, the case with 4 finely detailed columns, each capped by a pineapple finial above, the whole surmounted by a bust of Mercury, with winged helmet. The panel is signed by the artist, Rone. The well made French movement strikes the hours and halves on a gong. Ht 14 ½" $1750-2250

495 C.1880, E. Howard & Co., Boston, No. 5 Banjo, in very good condition. The dial was nicely repainted on this clock, however it is otherwise original with good graining on the case, good original tablets {black repainted on rear, some paint is lifting}, and with traces of the damascene pattern still on the pendulum. Height 29" $1500-1800

496 C.1900, E. Howard & Co., Boston, Regulator No. 70, in oak and in excellent condition, with original tablet and great damascene pattern on the pendulum. About as good as it gets in oak. In running order. Ht 31" $1250-1750

497 C.1890, E. Howard & Co., Boston, Regulator No. 70, in walnut and in good original condition. The tie down for the pendulum is missing, pendulum buffed smooth and the tablet has been touched up from the rear; some flaking on dial. Despite these minor problems, the clock retains original dial, hands, weight, and finish on case. Pendulum stick is repaired with a brass scab. Note the movement bears #59, which is the same size as #70; it is not uncommon for this to occur when they were in a rush to fill an order. Also see burled walnut used on door and early pattern on bezel. Ht 31" $1250-1750

498 C.1885, Boston Clock Co, Regulator, in oak and in good condition. Although the case was refinished some time ago, the rest of the clock is in very good original condition. The tablet with minor re-blacking on the reverse, and a some of the gilding with wear. The dial is crazed and slightly faded, but the signature is still legible. Movement, serial number 291 is original to this clock, and with this low number must certainly have been produced in the first year of operations. Note detail image of signature on movement; a very good clock. Height 33¾" $1250-1750

499 C.1880, French, Bronze and Marble figural clock, the dial signed E. CHARLES, a PARIS, the movement signed Pons & France. This clock is large and heavy, weighs 65 lb. After uncrating it, I had to take the photo on the floor, so be prepared for the task of getting it home. The weight is because the marble is NOT veneer, rather each of 3 solid blocks has been drilled to accommodate the movement and pendulum. Figure is a Roman soldier, home from battle, his helmet, sword & scabbard atop the clock, and in his hand a scroll {deed?}, and in his left hand a plow; below the dial are two infants nursing from a wolf. High quality. Needs cleaning; ht 23" $2500-3000

500 C.1900, French Musician figural clock set, patinated bronze over white metal, mounted to a black marble pedestal with red/brown onyx trim. This is a large and heavy clock with fine detail; the musician’s hair, face and costume with great clarity. He is taking a break, and his mandolin is setting beside him The porcelain dial has some hairlines and a small chip by right winding hole; quality French movement complete, and would benefit from cleaning. Each candelabra with holders for 5 candles, in good condition. Note statue will be separated from base for shipment. Height 21" $400-500

501 C.1900, French Red Porcelain & Bronze Clock Set with matching candelabra. This is a very attractive set, all surfaces covered with gold fleur-de-lis, with white petals above, and alternating rows of gold stars. The well made round French movement with matching number pendulum. The porcelain dial has attractive stylized numerals, and a small hairline by 3 [no chips]. Each candelabra with holders for 5 candles, and with matching bases, feet and teardrops [all bronze]. Overall excellent; no cracks – minor edge abrasion in rear; great looking. Ht 22" $400-600

502 C.1910, German, for the French market, a very attractive Art Nouveau 3-piece porcelain and bronze set. The movement itself is a 30-hour open spring job {ticks fine}, but this clock was sold for its artistic appeal. See the bright gold tulips and soft flowing lines so typical of the Noveau movement {one with slight wear from dusting}. The porcelain is white and we tried shooting it against black, but it looked dead; it is better looking than the image. Each candelabra with holders for 5 candles, and with bases and feet matching the clock; note both snuffers are present. Height 23" $350-550

503 C.1880, French, Portico Mantel Set, Marble & Bronze in the style of a century earlier, and in good condition. One of the column bases [bronze] has a fracture that is not too noticeable, and the top trim has been broken and repaired [decent rivet job]. The white marble is nicely molded with a bow front base on both the clock and urns, and all bronze feet are intact. The well made French movement is signed "Paris Make, France", retains original pendulum and the bezel number matches the movement. Has a porcelain dial that is good except for a small chip by the F/S stud, and with colorful polychrome floral trim and original fancy hands. The side pieces are solid marble with ormolu trim; one ‘wing’ is loose. Height 16" $500-700

504 C.1890, French, Portico Mantel Set, White marble & gilt bronze in the style of Louis XVI. This is a nice set, the well made round movement signed "H&C Paris". Retains a perfect porcelain dial with floral wreath decorations, and fancy gilt hands. The movement runs but would benefit from cleaning. The side garnitures are intact, one with small chips in rear that do not show. Overall very good condition. Height 18" $500-700

505 C.1845, Smith & Goodrich, Sub-miniature OOG, {fusee} in very good condition. The well figured mahogany veneer is in very good shape and was attractively refinished some time ago. See further details on this movement in Ken Robert’s book on Ives {1970}, pages 246-247. The glasses are both old and the lower tablet has been professionally restored [a magnificent job]. The dial is period, but may not be original to this clock [fits OK, but not perfect]; case retains wonderful full label. Note height is only 15½" $375-475

506 C.1847, Chauncey Boardman, Fusee Steeple, in a well figured mahogany case, and with signed 30 hour fusee movement. See Ken Roberts book on Ives, pages 244-45, for details on this 1847 patent Boardmen & Wells movement. See label image which looks light around the Boardman name because a previous owner very carefully peeled off the Daniel Pratt overpasted label {it is included}. The two glasses are original and the lower tablet is s superb scene of a castle and moat. The case is great, except for minor veneer chips along the base; original dial with paint loss in corners. Height 19¾" $375-475

507 C.1845, Wm. S. Johnson , New York label on mini Fusee "OOG" from Connecticut. The movement is a Chauncey Boardman with riveted frame extensions and seat board. The dial original and the case is in good condition with veneer loss on the outside band [mostly on the bottom band]; the backboard {and label} are split, but none of the label is missing, and it is bright and legible. Both glasses appear original, the lower a mercury backed mirror. Ht 18" $225-325

508 C.1855, English, Fusee Skeleton Clock, time only, in an attractive scroll frame, less dome. The top of the rear frame was poorly soft soldered, and flux ran down and left spots of corrosion on the plates. Has a nice scalloped dial with engraved, wax filled numerals, and heavy baluster pillars with screwed collets front and back. Best part is that wheels all have 5 spokes {including the motion wheels}. Although it runs fine, we would recommend cleaning prior to regular operation. Original pendulum and hands intact; with key. Other than the frame repair that needs cleaning up, a very well made skeleton. See "sister" to this clock in Derek Roberts' book British Skeleton Clocks, page 25. Ht 12" $800-1000

509 C.1860, English, Month Going Skeleton clock in a scroll frame. This clock is unsigned, but is nearly identical to one pictured in the book Skeleton Clocks, by F. B. Royer-Collard {1969}, page 14 [clock by Pace, fig1-19]. In this configuration, power is supplied with two spring barrels and two fusees, and the additional wheel is added between the fusees. The center arbor is planted at the apex of the front frame and the fourth and escape wheel is held by a delicate cock from the left, and the pallets by a separate cock from the right. The movement is mounted to an oval of cast brass, well finished, with a center hole for attaching to an additional base. Pendulum rod original; bob replaced; dial has been straightened and with cracks. With a replacement old dome that covers the clock, but could use a bottom base that fits better. Height of clock 8.5", with dome 13" $2000-2500

510 C.1870, English, J. Smith & Sons, passing strike fusee skeleton clock in good original condition, on a white marble base, with old dome {now with long wavy crack}. Full details on Smith's operations can be found in both Royer-Collard, pages 51-57, and in British Skeleton Clocks by Derek Roberts [1987], pages 126-135. This clock with slightly different dial than illustrated, but nicely fretted and engraved {silvering has turned dark}. The original fusee chain is intact and the clock is in running order. Clock is shown with and without dome. Height of clock +base 17½", overall 21½" $1200-1500

511 C.1890, German, Gustav Becker 3-Weight in the 2^nd Baroque style. This case is a bit wider than most baroques. It is a dark walnut color. The minute hand is incorrect. Despite these minor shortcomings, it has a well made Becker movement {needs cleaning}, striking the quarters on two straight steel rods with very nice tone. The dial center, weights and pendulum all have an etched pattern of interlocking scrolls. With original embossed and silvered beat scale. Height 54" $1250-1750

512 C.1870, Austrian, 3-wt Vienna Regulator, striking grand sonnerie on two coiled gongs. This clock comes from the Bednarik collection and had been in storage. The suspension spring is broken, and the "tail" of the minute hand is broken away. The well made 72 beat movement is very dirty and will need cleaning prior to operation {both strike trains function properly and it ticks OK}. The masculine case retains original dark purple finish and has a unique combination of twisty and turned columns as door trim; minor nicks need touch-up. Movement appears to be original to the case and the seat board fits the slides snugly. With original wooden handle key. Height 59" $1750-2250

513 C.1995, {modern} reproduction Dachluhr, from Hungary. This is a very well made miniature clock, and is totally handmade like the originals. The workmanship is outstanding, the finish and fit very precise. The dark veneer is mahogany, accented by satinwood on the edges. The 3" dial is even porcelain and with an engine turned bezel; steel rod pendulum with bras bob. An original would be very expensive. Height 24" $1000-1500

514 C.1995, {modern} reproduction Dachluhr, from Hungary. This clock is about 2/3 the size of the previous log, and is veneered with burled elm that has a lot of character. Weight driven movement with steel pendulum rod w/ silk suspension and porcelain dial. You really have to look at the dimension to get an idea of how small this clock is. Height 18" $1000-1200

515 C.1995, {modern} reproduction mini Serpentine Vienna regulator, handmade in Hungary. This is a cute clock with weight driven movement and silk suspension. Note porcelain dial even has a brass grommet around the winding hole. Don't lose this crank, as you'll have trouble finding one small enough to wind this clock. Antiques this size usually sell for around $3000. Porcelain dial = 2.7", height = 28" $900-1200

516 C.1970, Swiss, "Just Clock Co", a substantial bronze desk clock with lattice style doors covering the dial. When the door are opened, the clock and a full weather station are revealed: hygrometer to the left, barometer in center and Centigrade thermometer to the right. The clock has a very large spring, which is fully would, but the well jeweled escapement ticks for a minute or so and stops; it is our belief that it is only dirty. The top of the dial is lettered "LeRoy & Fils", who most likely retailed the clock in Paris. The dial mask is deeply engraved with a scroll and floral pattern and the gilding is still intact; gilding on the exterior is mostly worn off. This was the best you could buy 30 years ago. Height 8" $600-800

517 C.1890, French, for Bailey, Banks & Biddle, Philadelphia {signed on dial in porcelain cartouche}, an all bronze mantel clock, profusely decorated with applied fleur-de-lis on front and sides {even heavy fleur-de-lis handles}, and with cast Greek feet below and unusual finials with pineapple tips at top. The well made French movement bears # 5570 and with matching number pendulum. But the most interesting feature is that the clock strikes the hours and halves on the large 4.5" brass bell held aloft by cast floral supports and surmounted by a bronze finial of leaves. The movement was specially designed with an articulated rod extending from the movement up through the case top to the bell. This is a very high quality item. Needs cleaning; ht 17" $600-900

518 C.1870, French, Figural Clock in the style of Louis XVI. The platform movement is contained in a bronze globe, and strikes the hours on a bell; has serpent hands. Mounted atop the globe are a winged cherub with a quiver of arrows at this side, and a rose wreath in his left hand. Two doves in flight are attached to the globe under the wreath; and reclining at the base is a cherub, holding a gilded frame containing a small enamel over porcelain insert. On the other side is a bust of Joan of Arc, a papyrus scroll, tools and an artists palette. Some of the gilding is worn, but it is generally excellent. The well made Japy movement ticks and strikes, but would benefit from service. A great piece of French art work. Height 14" $1750-2250

519 C.1885, French, Marti, for J. E. Caldwell, Philadelphia {signed on movement}, a gilt bronze lyre clock, as-found. The bronze case is very unusual, with the extended wings of two caryatids forming the side wings of the lyre. Much of the gilding is worn off the case, so your choices boil down to re-plating, or simply buffing it all to brass. The well made bell strike movement, #2463, and with matching number pendulum {don't lost this pendulum, it only fits this clock}. The cast bronze dial with individual porcelain cartouche numerals is perfect. An impressive piece that will respond well to restoration; ht 23" $1000-1500

520 C.1900, German, Junghans, Conical pendulum mantel clock, 30-hour. This model is quite scarce. Note walnut case with candy stripe edging on 3 sides, top and bottom. The numerals are a bit worn on the silvered dial, but this is still in very good to excellent original condition; original patina on silvered figure. Statue will be removed for shipment. Ht 14½" $750-1000

521 C.1900, Crystal Regulator, ¾ size, 8-day clock. Clock has a nice porcelain dial, pair of original hands and undamaged beveled glass. Movement signed "Made in France". Retains original mercury pendulum. Brass case could use a polish as there is some tarnish. These small crystal regulators are quite desirable; overall excellent. Height 8¾" $350-450

522 C.1890, Boston Clock Co., 8-day Crystal Regulator. Clock has a tandem wind movement with rack strike. This clock has a balance wheel movement, serial number 12913, and is signed Boston Clock Co. Clock has a beautiful two color porcelain dial with numerals in raised circular shields, original hands and no damage to the beveled glass. Ht 9¾" $350-450

523 C.1900, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "EMPIRE No. 60" 8-day Crystal Regulator. This model has a bowed front with undamaged beveled glass. The clock has a beautiful porcelain dial with a garland of polychrome flowers around the dial. Original hands and pendulum. Case could use a polishing as there are some minor scratches and tarnish on the top. Overall very good original condition. Height 11" $550-650

524 C.1890, French Swinging Doll & Dome; this is a beautiful little alabaster clock with applied brass mountings. The porcelain dial is perfect and the clock retains its original swinging figure. The clock sits on a restored wooden base with an old glass dome. Note movement is visible through skeletonized dial. Height 9" $1000-1500

525 C.1910, Czech, Gustav Becker, 2-Weight wall regulator in the Alt Deutsch style. This is an interesting clock. The movement has Becker's medal of meritorious constuction, and to the left, his mark has been deeply over-stamped with the circular mark of "Hainz, Prague". All parts are 100% Becker: hands, dial, etc. The case itself is a non-factory unit, from a cabinet maker; the veneer is red mahogany, an unusual choice, and probably the entire case was made to match parlor furniture of the time; note full columns with Corinthian capitals on top part of door. Typical of this type of project, there is a large 1/2 inch piece of pine in the top rear of the case to put the movement in proper relationship to the door.

Typical rafter frame design setting on 4 turned brass supports; height of clock and base 15½"; total height with dome 19". $900-1200

531 C.1920, German, Shelf Cuckoo, less top trim. This is really a well carved cuckoo, a pair of birds at the bottom, amongst grapevines and grapes. Detail on the feathers and grapes is excellent.

The original tablets are flaking and the pendulum stick has been replaced, but this is still a good pre-civil war column and cornice, with good label. Best part is the movement which Silas used in his regulators; Seth Thomas fans will note the similarity to the movement he designed for the striking #1 Extra. This is movement type 4, with large 'scape wheel and verge between the plates, and the crutch passing through a slot in the pendulum; count wheel is on the left great wheel. Nicks and scrapes to case, plus top ¼" finish molding is missing from cornice; new Merritts weights. Original finish. Ht 32" $750-1000

534 C.1860, E. N. Welch, Empire Column & Cornice in excellent original condition. Two small pieces of trim are missing at top, otherwise this is about as good as it gets.

540 C.1830, Asa Munger, Auburn, NY, mahogany 8- day, 2-weight shelf clock with bell strike and seconds hand. Mungers do not turn up that often and it is more unusual to have two in one sale. This first clock needs more work than the next lot, but still has good potential. Note new glass over dial {should be reverse painted tablet}; mirror in bottom is old mirror cut from a larger frame {looks fine}. There are nick and scrapes in the case and some of the very fine trim molding are broken away and will have to be replaced; case is dirty. The dial is newly painted. Retains original wall papering and good Munger label inside. Eagle pendulum is new, but is the type most often found on these clocks. For reference, see Distin & Bishop, page 140, figure 294, and for reference on the movement, see Horology Americana, page 145. Weights for this clock are home-made cast iron and probably 25% heavier than they need to be; they would work OK on a tall clock. Does run; estimate reflects condition. Ht 39½" $1000-1500

541 C.1830, Asa Munger, Auburn, NY, mahogany 8- day, 2-weight shelf clock with bell strike and seconds hand.

542 C.1890, French, Architectural form, all ormolu clock, in interesting temple motif, with profusely engraved case. This clock needs some work; the time spring is broken… amazingly it will run nearly a day with just a portion of the spring in force. Also one movement strap broke in transit and will need re-newing. Has finely chased & gilded hands; some small hairlines in dial. Height 13.5" $350-550

542a C.1890, French, Bronze Architectural mantel clock, with very nice detail. The central tower pierced with profuse scrolls and swags, a child’s face with bonnet at both top corners.

There are minor nicks and scrapes to the case, commensurate with its age, but it is overall nice and the movement is original to the case.

545 C.1890, German, Gustav Becker, 3-Weight Grand Sonnerie wall regulator in a walnut case of double door style with brass appliques. The dial center, weights and pendulum all have a matching etched pattern. One of the weights suffered a broken hook in transit, and we have a similar one on the clock for the photograph. The quarters and the hours are struck on 2 straight steel rods. A small split is in the floor board from a nail in the backboard, can be corrected easily. Beat scale is a replacement; two of the brass door trims appear to be replaced as well; seems to run and strike OK. Height 47" $900-1200

546 C.1988, Dutch, Reproduction Stoelklok. This type of clock has been made in the Friesland area of Holland since the early 18^th Century. In the late 1980s a firm tooled up to produce these in some quantity for their home market, using traditional style movements and cases. This particular clock is a time only, although it has an iron bell above the movement for decoration. This is a well made new clock with metal decorations and hand painted dial and mermaids just like the originals. It is in running condition. For comparison, see an older stoelklok in this sale, lot 48. Height of case 24½" $400-600

547 C.1876, Seth Thomas Sons & Co., No. 8011, Angel and Child figural clock in very good original condition. Except for a couple of chips in the dial and an incorrect minute hand, this clock would be outstanding. The case is the nicest I've seen, with original bronze finish in superior condition. It does run and strike, and is a very good example of this hard to find model. Height 17" $450-650

548 C.1890, French, Swinging Doll, Striking clock in a white alabaster case with incised pattern on the front and sides. Has a typical Farcot patent movement, with double escape wheel and "chaff cutter" escapement. This clock came to us from storage, and although it will tick and eek out a strike on the rear bell, it is dirty and would benefit from service. These cases are soft and often in a state of distress, however, this one, other than minor edge chips is in very good order. Doll moves front to back. Height 13½" $1000-1500

549 1885, French, Red Tortoise Shell mantel clock in the style of Chas. Boulle. All of the ormolu trim and all of the brass inlay is intact, although a couple of pieces are loose {be careful when cleaning}. The dial is a heavy cast one with 12 individual porcelain numerals. The movement, a quality round unit, is signed Etierre Maxant, Paris, and with the initials "CR" in an oval, also with serial number 20084 and with matching serial # pendulum. These are often in a state of distress and this one is in very good condition. Movement would benefit from service. Height 12 ½" $1000-1250

550 C.1865, French Lyre Clock, Ebony veneer with brightly gilded ormolu accents, as-found. Note the pendulum has been replaced and the knife edge tapped into a half dozen holes in the rear to get the length OK {it is still incorrect and if you look closely you can see the crutch to the right of the pendulum}. The bell strike movement is original to the case and it has a great dial with tiny cartouche numerals, but you will have a project in dealing with the pendulum. Height 23" $3500-4000

551 C.1910, Swiss, Quarter Striking wall regulator in the alt Deutsch style, in a well figured walnut and rosewood case. The movement is dirty, but is well made in the usual Swiss manner.

The pendulum has a couple of small dents; note imitation gridiron rod. Minor nicks and scrapes to case, but the clock is in overall very good original condition. Strikes on straight steel rods.

552 C.1900, German, 2-Weight Vienna Regulator in the Alt Deutsch style, and in very good original condition. The only item that keeps this from being excellent is the missing tip to lower right finial. The light walnut case and fancy top are especially attractive. The movement, is unsigned, and bears serial number 1211; it is a quality unit with maintaining power. Has nicely cut out pulleys, good weights and perfect pendulum and dial.. and with original hands {including second hand}. Original bracket moved once on original case back; is only apparent on critical examination. A good clock. Height 56" $900-1200

The movement is signed Ansonia Clock Co., Ansonia, Conn {signature illustrated in Ly's Ansonia book, {1998}, page 99. This clock is without dome; you might check with the vendors section of this catalog for glass dome dealers. The statue is a new copy of an old one, and the dial was repapered some time ago; the rest is all original and in very good condition. Height 16½" $400-600

554a C.1870, English, Banjo or mercury wheel barometer, in good, as-found condition. The silvered brass dial signed Tognetti & Co. {most of the English barometer makers in the 19^th century seem to be Italian}. The tube is intact with mercury, and is corked for auto transport {not well enough to ship commercially}. Also with a good Fahrenheit thermometer with a silvered brass engraved scale with novel indications: Temperate, Sum'r Heat, Blood Heat and Freezing. Note the top arch is missing {foundation is there}. Ht 39" $375-475

555 C.1900, Admiral Fitzroy Barometer, as-found, less mercury, and the original "weather station" glass tube is empty {uses a concoction of alcohol and camphor}. The printed paper scales are faded from exposure to the sun {but still legible}. Original tube is still clear and completely intact. Always an interesting item; height 38" $500-600

556 C.1880, German, Mercury Wheel Barometer, with clock. Although the clock is the same age as the barometer, this was done at the customer's request at the time, as the case was not made to accommodate a clock in that location, and the rear of the movement is improperly protected {and the balance staff is broken}. But the good part is that this is from a home in Baltimore, and the barometer was refurbished in 1992 and is in working order. Note we prefer to sell this item in the saleroom; if a distant customer should purchase it, it MUST be packed by a professional barometer dealer {such as Neville Lewis}, and those charges will be borne by the purchaser. Note scale reads Sturmish, Regen Veraenderlich, etc. Height 37" $750-850

557 C.1880, English, Jacob & Halse, London, a sextant in box, sold by John H. Wheeler, 220 Water St., New York {the box with full label of the dealer}.

558 C.1959, Swiss, LeCoultre, ATMOS serial 102710, "perpetual" clock automatically wound by changes in atmospheric pressure. This clock is caliber 528-6 with lift-off top retained by push pins. We unlocked the pendulum and verified that the movement is sound and complete, and although it ran for several minutes in this test, it may require service for long term operation. The case retains original finish, but there are some small oxidation spots and a few minor scratches. Silvered dial with Arabic numerals is in good condition. Height 9¼" $300-400

559 C.1908, German, Gustav Becker, 400-Day disc pendulum clock in very good original condition with old dome. The movement bears serial number 2,273,467, and with his trademark & medal-of-honor signatures, and matched serial number pendulum {small dimple on one side of pendulum}. Porcelain dial is perfect and clock is in working order. The only minor shortcoming is the missing outer suspension guard {the 4 studs are there}. Height 12" $150-250

560 C.1910, German, Franz Voseler, 30-day, miniature "Louvre" torsion clock. The small round movement is only 2½" in diameter {see plate #1208A}. The original silvered dial is virtually like new and the dome is original [dirt on dome has reflected on dial]. But the most unique item on this clock is the mini 3-ball pendulum that we have not seen before. Suspension wire is too short, but clock is otherwise complete and sound. Compare with Horolovar Repair Guide, Section 5, #80; note the entire case and dial are like the Jahresuhrenfabrik, figure #79; as both companies used the same case vendor. Height 11½" $600-900

561 C.1908, German, Badische Uhrenfabrik, 400 day clock, disc pendulum, in very good original condition. This clock runs for a while and stops. It appears that it has never been serviced, but is mechanically sound; retains original milled fork and end blocks. Ht 11" $125-175

562 C.1925, Seth Thomas, MONITOR Ship's bell clock, mounted to a board with a hand carved sailing ship below, and with a sun, moon and star carved around the clock. The movement is still sound, but is dirty; the silvering is all rubbed off the dial, and there is corrosion on the brass, evidence of a life outside. Still, this has a lot of character, and appears to have been well loved; from a home in Maine. Diameter of clock = 7", height of board = 16" $400-500

563 C.1955, Swiss, LeCoultre Rue de la Paix "Street Clock", mini souvenir clock. We sold the 'cousin' to this clock in May, lot 392. This example has a white lamp lens in lieu of clear. Has a good Swiss 7-jewel movement, going for 8 days. Ran for a couple of days and then stopped, so a cleaning is in order. Generally very good condition. Ht 11" $250-350

567 C.1875, Austrian, Gebr. Resch {Remember} 1-wieght regulator. Please refer to lot 453-a for the same case style, only smaller. The top of 453-a was used as template to make this top and it is a very good job. And the serial number is a few years later, #64722, and all components have matching numbers. You will note the style of hands is also the same, only correspondingly large for this 7" dial. There are some minor nicks and scrapes, but this is overall a very clean clock. Ht 47" $600-800

568 C.1895, French, Conical [rotary] Pendulum Annular dial alarm clock in excellent original condition. We’ve had several of these clocks in the past, and this model is pictured in Tardy’s La Pendule Francaise , part II, page 472, and is classified as "Horloge de table Fantasie". Note pendulum fine adjustment is by thumb screw at the top. The unique thing about this clock is that the case is engraved all over and then with polychrome decorations; we had one Serial number 13068; we had one with the same engraving in April of '99, lot 257. Original pendulum. Ht 6¾" $800-900

Small 30 hour timepiece with short wag pendulum; note village scene in arch of dial.

Whistles and runs OK; note peddler wearing overcoat with knee pants and bulky knit socks. Generally excellent condition; ht 12" $1200-1600

570 C.1930, German, Whistling Man with Small lantern in his right hand, and a large silver key in his left hand. This is an unusual model, the lantern wired with a bulb to flash intermittently while the man is whistling. The carved wooden figure has excellent detail, and with 70 years of dirt and fly specs; we really used a strong flash to try to show the colors lurking under the dirt. The whistling mechanism has been cleaned and is in good working order. Battery box in base below figure. Ht 15" $900-1000

571 C.1865, German, Panting Dog with Wagging tail. Although this clock will need some work {the arm up to the tongue has been poorly soldered and come loose}, the potential is there to end up with a very good clock. The movement with cut pinions and a double wheel chaff cutter 'scape is well made, and with a trademark: RM, Gebetzlich Geschutzt in a circle. In operation, the tail and the tongue are extensions of a pivoted pendulum {see lead pendulum to left of movement}. This dog is made of many pieces of tin soldered together, with some type of flocking glued on. There are repairs to the case, and the flocking is worn away on the reverse side; rear cover will need work to stay in place. Hands original; dial = 1", overall, 8¼" high x 11½" long. $1100-1400

This clock, from Bill Mittelstadt is photographed in detail in Ly's book titled Ansonia Clocks & Watches {1998}, page 507.

581 C.1895, Ansonia Clock Co., CASTLE mirror clock, one day time, in genreally good original condition, the silvering coming off the mirror.

There are some nicks and scrapes to the case, and a couple of ends missing from top return moldings, but nothing major; generally very good condition and in running/striking order. Height 18" $300-400

585 C.1900, French, Crystal Regulator in very good restored condition. The only minor item that keeps this from being excellent is a top corner chip on the front glass that only shows when the door is open. The creamy color porcelain dial is excellent, hand and mercury pendulum original and the clock has been professionally cleaned and is in good running order. Height 10" $325-425

586 C.1919, One Hand Clock Co., Warren, PA, nice example of the 8 ½" dial model, in excellent original condition. The only thing that keeps this from being outstanding is that one side of the threaded winding key came off and it takes some dexterity to wind it with the remaining side {a handy mechanic can slide in another handle from most any key}. Clock retains its original copper bezel and pressed sheet stock over iron base. The paper dial is really like new and this is a great example of this model; ht 10½" $350-400

587 C.1920, German, Shelf Cuckoo, the carved case showing 2 angry wolves on the base, and a squirrel at the top. Some of the tips have been re-glued, but the carving on the wolves shows nice detail, and the clock is in overall good condition. Note original squirrel on top is glued on backwards--his fine detail is on the reverse; he can be carefully removed and re-glued. Retains original bone hands [with repairs]. See detail image of wooden plated movement; pendulum is replaced; original flutes intact. Height 22" $1200-1500

588 C.1860 Daniel Pratt's Sons, Reading, Mass label on an Atkins London model clock. The clock has a beautiful rosewood case with no veneer problems. The glasses are in very nice condition. The original dial has a few minor paint flakes; center tablet with some scratches on left side. The only problem is home-made gong which someone wound around in a crazy oval trying to miss the alarm and strike hammers; most any good repair shop will have a proper old gong to sell you. The hands are old but not original. A good looking clock on which minor items can be corrected. Height 17" $350-450

589 C.1940, Seth Thomas, Regulator No. 2, in oak and in good original condition. Minor shortcoming is that the hook broke off the weight {available from Timesavers #12183 for only $2.25}, now replaced with a piece of wire. The original dial has very minor rub spots and flakes. This clock would have been made just before WWII. Some minor work will render this a $1200 clock. Height 35" $700-900

590 C.1978 [modern] William A. Kilbourn. Waltham, Mass. A recent banjo, very well made. This clock was sent up from Florida, bought from Kilbourn in the late 70s before he and Proctor tooled up to made movements. This is a very good looking banjo with great tablet reproduced from an original stating "We owe allegiance to no crown". We don't expect this to bring what a Stennes would, but it should be a $1000 banjo at least. Height 34" $1000-1500

591 C.1875, J. B. Hatch, Attleboro, Regulator No. 5, with improper restorations. This is a decent case and movement, but the dial and tablet have been poorly repainted in the Howard scheme and with spurious name on the dial. A repaint for the dial and tablet will probably cost you around $200. The movement is mounted to an old board on the case back that looks to have been in place for a hundred years. Hard to estimate this clock but it does have substantial value as is. Height 30" $750-1000

592 C.1900, German, Junghans, World Time clock in the form of a windmill, with a regular dial in the central tower, and with 8 subsidiary dials mounted to the fan, showing time in San Franciso, New York, Paris, St. Petersburg, etc. This clock is as-found, and in need of work. Two of the dials have been glued on to their shafts and are not rotating properly; several hands are missing; top finial replaced. The entire case has been sprayed with gold paint. In original condition these will command $2000. Height 22" $1200-1400

593 C.1925 Seth Thomas, Outside Bell, Ships Bell in very good original condition with superb rear label. Note the unusual wheel handles on the case which do not appear in the Seth Thomas catalog, but which are the same age as the clock, with same lacquer and oxidation. Whether they are a factory or dealer installation we are unsure, but it is a job well done. Some oxidation on dial. Note detail image of rear label. Clock runs and strikes. Ht 11½" $375-475

594 C.1976, Terwilliger, Clock Trade Enterprises, "HOROLOVAR" reproduction of the famous Briggs Rotary Pendulum clock, serial number 342. Mr. Terwilliger improved on the original version by designing these to run 8 days+. Pendulum hangs from a small cord and is pushed in a circular motion by a small "tail" sticking up from the top plate. This clock was made in Germany and should not be confused with poor imitations from China. Dome shown behind clock to facilitate focus. Height 7 ¼" $250-350

595 C.1825, French Louis XV Case, white marble and ormolu, now with a Victorian movement {fits OK}. Refer to Tardy's, Part II, page 264, fig 1 for similar clock that is in the Louvre. This form of clock in an obelisk case does not occur that often, and this clock can be enjoyed as-is or you might find a silk thread movement that will fit. Note also interesting cherub on top, holding a hammer and chisel, sculpting a female bust in his lap; sides of the obelisk are decorated as well. Rear two feet of base have been poorly replaced and need attention, otherwise complete and sound. Height 27" $900-1200

596 C.1900, German "MONK" Alarm Clock in good original condition, made for the French market. The painted spelter case is made of two symmetrical halves that are screwed together, and the finish has some dirt and wear. The monk retains his original paint {with wear}; his right arm is hinged and with a cord going up to the alarm bell. A lever from the movement rings the bell in the belfry and moves his arm at the same time, with the appearance that he is ringing the bell. The white porcelain dial is xlnt. One day movement is dirty, but you can coax it into ringing the bell. An interesting novelty; we have had one of these in each of the last 3 sales. Ht 14" $750-1000

597 C.1920, E. Ingraham 8-day Oak "NORTHWESTERN" calendar, with fancy pressed top and bottom. Dial has some age staining; calendar hand is new. The movement is original to the case, but the mounting feet have been turned a bit to attach it. The top tablet is old, however the lower RR tablet appears with clean cuts & no dirt in the corners, and we must say it appears to be new. We are not aware who is making this tablet. Accordingly we are estimating the clock as a standard time and calendar regulator; ht 39" $350-450

598 C.1920, Herschede Clock Co., Cincinnati, O. Westminster Chime mantel clock in very good original condition. This model #2003 is in a simple round Gothic mahogany case with beveled glass in front door. The silvered dial is engraved with a fancy floral pattern; silver is rubbed through to brass in a couple of spots. Chimes the quarter hours on straight steel rods. With original winding key signed Herschede Hall Clock Co., Cin., O. Height 13 ½" $275-375

599 C.1900, French black marble mantle clock in generally good condition, except as noted. The strike hammer was repaired with solder and looks a bit out of character with the clock. There are minor edge chips to the marble, but no cracks and surfaces are smooth; some stains on top from a doily. Has a quality round movement that strikes the hours and halves on a gong. Porcelain dial is good except for some abrasion around the winding holes from using a key too large. Original hands and original pendulum, #1847, matches movement. Runs but would benefit from service; take care in opening bezel as it is very tight. Height 13" $125-175

600 C.1889, E. Ingraham & Co., THISTLE, in chestnut with black accents. Except for a small straight molding missing top left, this clock is in excellent restored condition. The dial has been re-papered and the movement cleaned. Height 16 ½" $250-350

601 C.1880, German, 1-Weight Wall Regulator in the Viennese style, with restoration. This clock was last cleaned and hung around 1970 and you will find lots of dust as evidence. The broken arch top was made by a cabinet maker in Dallas, who did a nice job of it. The well made movement bears serial number 91933, but no maker's stamp. It has Graham dead beat escapement with adjustable pallets and maintaining power, and mounts in the case on the original brass slide. The porcelain dial has no cracks, but is a bit dirty.. has some type of spray coating on it; minor dents in bezel. Note door has a drawer pull to open it, which is not original. Retains original wooden handle crank. Height 44" $500-700

602 C.1850, Chauncey Jerome, small rosewood 1-day octagon lever in good original condition {untouched}. The dial is flaking, seconds hand missing; rear label 98% {the green paper has turned a little dark, but is still fully legible}. Ht 8 ¼" $125-175

603 C.1850, Another 1-Day Octagon Lever in original, as-found condition. Note the glass is cracked and rear label is absent, otherwise this clock is in very good original condition with crazed finish. Dial is signed: "Patent Lever Escapement" [probably Pomeroy's patent referred to]. Second hand is missing. Ht 10 ½" $125-175

604 C.1842 {dated}, Wells Forbes, Bristol, NH, 30-hour wood works, chamfer side with cornice in very good original condition. This model with alarm train between the plates {3^rd weight visible in detail foto}. Note interesting dust cover for top which looks to be an owner-installed device, about the same age as the clock, and with a "scab" at some point to allow for a larger bell. Generally full label is dark but fully legible; good dial; interesting instructions inside. Ht 30" $550-650

605 C.1915, Ansonia Clock Co., ROUEN, crystal regulator, in very good restored condition. The only things that keeps this from being excellent are a few hairlines in the porcelain dial which only show on close examination. The additional signature of A. Stowell & Co., Bostom, is sharp and complete. An all original clock; ready to enjoy. Height 11" $250-350

606 C.1868, Seth Thomas, Thomaston {with Plymouth Hollow movement}, 30 hour shell column in excellent condition, except for the missing spring powered alarm mechanism {the holes and shadow are evident}. This clock is otherwise outstanding with great faux shell columns, bright label, original dial, a good "Mary and Her Lamb" tablet {reblacked long ago from rear}. Ht 25" $150-250

607 C.1842, E. C. Brewster, 30 Hour spring clock with patent iron back plate movement, and with original card label, the clock in good condition. The only item that keeps this from being excellent is the entire left band re-veneered. Full details on this clock and movement can be found in Ken Roberts book on Ives, pages 217-19. Despite the veneer repair this is an uncommon clock in good condition and with original mirror [cracked] and dial. Height 25 ½" $375-475

608 C.1845, Forestville Hardware, J. C. Brown, in excellent restored condition. The dial has been re-touched in the center, and 95% of the signature is new. There were enough letters showing on the high spots to be sure what to restore, however purists will differ in opinion on the results. As you will note, for some reason this dial only flaked in the center 3 inch portion… the outer part and numerals are original and were not touched in the restoration. Rosewood case was refinished long ago. Hands original; movement clean and running. Height 12¾" $250-350

609 C.1941 [dated], Seth Thomas, Mark I Boat Clock, U. S. Navy, serial number 13421. Retrieved and mounted by someone on a board with a plaque indicating: "Boat clock from Captains Lanuch, U.S.S CUNNINGHAM". Height of clock 5"; height of board 11" $225-325

610 Mixed lot: C.1885, Austrian 2-weight regulator movement, now in a C.1920 deco style case of ash veneer over pine, and with burled panel in door center and dial surround. The brass frame in lower door with 10 panes of deeply beveled glass. Pendulum with dents; lean and running. Ht 35" $300-400

611 C.1880, Austrian, 3-Weight Grand Sonnerie wall regulator in generally good condition, with restorations. Note the movement fits the case fine, but there are extra holes in the case back indicating it is not original. The case has some minor nicks and scrapes that could be touched up. The porcelain dial is signed F. Prihoda, Wien and has no chips nor hairlines. Seems to be running OK. Although not for the purist, this is a good looking clock; ht 47" $900-1200

612 C.1920, German Deco Box Regulator, 2-weight in running order, with restorations. The movement is mounted to a block in back of the case. Case retains nice imitation dark grained rosewood finish and neat oval insert with 4 panes of heavy beveled glass. Rod strike, great tone. Height 36" $375-475

613 C.1935, August C. Keebler Co., Chicago, Little House with Jagged Edge in very good original condition. Very minor chips and paint loss along the edges; really an attractive little clock. Ht 6" $100-150

614 C.1935, Lux Clock Mfg Co., Waterbury, Conn., LIBERTY BELL in outstanding original condition, running. Height 6" $400-500

615 C.1935, Lux Clock Mfg Co., Waterbury, Conn., Playful Scotties in very good original condition, running. Minor paint loss around the edges and the hour hand is pressed in too far. A careful workman can correct this minor problem. Height 5 ½" $300-400

616 C.1935, Lux Clock Mfg Co., Waterbury, Conn., RUDLOPH in outstanding original condition, running. Bleachwood case. Height 6" $200-250

617 C.1935, Lux Clock Mfg Co., Waterbury, Conn., SCOTTY dog {white} in outstanding original condition, running. Height 6 ¾" $400-500

618 C.1935, Lux Clock Mfg Co., Waterbury, Conn., SUNFLOWER advertising clock in fair to good original condition, the only minus is wear on the tips of the sunflower, and some are bent slightly. Instead of numerals, the letters of the name O-L-D-S-M-O-B-I-L-E appear, and again below the center shaft, Oldsmobile, Pittsburgh Co. Height 5 ½" $200-300

619 C.1830, B. Morrill, Boscawen {movement}, in a home made New Hampshire Mirror clock. This would have been a great clock except the fact that it was made out a period mirror, plus old wood for a case. It has a nice upper dial glass done on old glass. The dial is old, black strengthened and the signature is recent. The movement is the wheel barrel type attributed to Morrill. This is a great looking clock if you cannot afford the real thing. Ht 38" $800-1200

620 C.1835, Marsh Gilbert & Co., Farmington, Conn, 30 hour WW stencil column and splat in good condition. Stenciling on the columns is a bit weak, fruit basket on splat is still bright and crisp. The interesting part is the tablet, which was painted in 1975, is of the Farmington Congregational Church, and shows exceptional detail. Other than the tablet, this is a good, original clock. Ht 33" $150-200

621 C.1900 New Haven Clock Co., New Haven, Conn. CORYDON, Enameled Iron case clock. This clock is in very nice condition with no damage to the enamel. The clock retains its original Ivorine dial and steel hands. Clean example of this model. Height 15" $150-250

622 C.1910, French, Bronzed spelter lamp & clock FIRST FISH. This is a very attractive item, just rewired.. takes small base 110v bulb, included. The time only movement is a mediocre fit-up lever stamped "Made in France", seems to run for less than a day. BUT THE best part is the young lad sitting on a rock, with his first fish in hand. We had a similar clock, less lamp two years ago. Height 24" $300-500

623 C.1900, French, Fancy Crystal Regulator with Limoge type panels on either side, and profusely decorated case, top and bottom and with portrait pendulum. The fellow who consigned this clock bought it in a hurry from a fast talking salesman who failed to mention that the movement was from another French clock and the dial plate had been soldered in order to adapt it to this case. The pendulum does match the case and a second slot has been filed to meet the crutch. The case is beautiful, but you will have to budget for improving the dial plate or finding another movement altogether. Worth $3500 if correct; runs. Ht 15" $2000-2500

624 Mixed lot, C. 1890, German Oak mantel case, now with a French movement married in and vacant holes in the case from the old bezel. By appearances, I would say this was likely a Lenzkirch or Becker case, with attractive ormolu trim and with gilt caryatids flanking the dial. There is lots of potential here as our estimate considers the value of the parts. Height 21" $550-650

625 C.1890, French Mantel Clock, Marble and ormolu. This is a very attractive clock, the case of dark green and white mottled marble, decorated with gilt bronze swags and with two well detailed birds at top. The porcelain dial is perfect, and with original hands; the well made bell strike movement clean and running. Height 16" $600-900

626 C.1900, French Gilded Spelter Fantasy in a portico style with porcelain columns and central plaque, the matching dial also hand painted with a floral wreath and with gilt hands. The well made round French movement is signed Ls. Roussy a Toulouse. Note interesting grid pendulum with a small piece of white marble in the center. There are a couple of pieces of spelter soldered back on, center plaque with old crack; generally very good condition and running. Ht 18½" $600-900

627 C.1890, French, Mini Tall Case, finished in the style of Vernis Martin, muted green with delicate painted flowers on the side and a couple on the base in front. Note this clock fell off the mantel at some time and broke in 2 across the center. It has been glued and no pieces were lost, but the repair does show. Would be $1750 in perfect order; estimate reflects condition. The movement signed Trouille a Amiens; runs and strikes on a bell. Height 17" $750-1000

628 C.1955, U.S.S.R., Majak Crystal Clock on Black base. This looks like the best the Russians had to offer for a trendy desk clock at the time. The case is cut and polished crystal, supported by two curved steel corbels in deco style mounts. The very base is like black bakelite, and there are two little chips along the perimeter. The substantial movement has a 11j lever escapement and is running fine. The chapter ring is stamped brass over an oxidized brass background. Certainly a conversation item. Height 7½" $125-175

629 C.1915, German, 2-weight Regulator in the Alt Deutsch style, and in good condition. The movement is original to the case, and the mounting bracket bearing the words "Made in Germany". The dial center is engraved with tulips, and probably had matching weights and pendulum, which are now smooth {they are old}. The walnut case retains its original high polish finish with bulbous turned columns up each side, and with original top and finials. The book-matched veneer makes it look tu-tone in the image, but it is all one color when viewed head on. Seems to run fine and strikes on a coiled wire gong. Quite large; height 55" $500-800

630 C.1900, German, Freiburg United Clock Factories, 2-weight walnut wall regulator in good original condition. This movement is made at Frieburg in Schl., in the former G. Becker establishment and is virtually identical to a Becker movement, and with a low serial number after this merger.. #16732. Movement is original to the case, which retains original finish and nice book matched veneer. Note the top finials and bottom center finial are missing; all else intact; minor dings in pend. Ht 42" $500-750

631 C.1920, German, Time and Strike Wall Regulator in a heavy Alt Deutsch style. This clock has a well made Kienzle solid plate movement with cut pinions and dead beat escapement. The porcelain dial has a couple of minor hairlines, and a center with the hours 13--24 fired into the porcelain in red. It has a radical geometric pendulum of deco style. The case has been varnished over lightly long ago and that is quite dirty and crazed. Still everything there appears original and it should clean up OK; strikes the hours and halves on a straight steel rod; old dry split at top of door; small post that holds on top has been replaced and should be remade. Ht 44" $300-400

632 C.1900, Ansonia Clock Co., VALMA walnut cased cabinet clock in good condition. The only shortcoming on this clock is that someone re-papered the dial with one about ¼" too small. The rest of the clock is original….hands, finish, label and pendulum. 8-day, runs and strikes; height 16½" $150-200

633 C.1915, Ansonia Regulator A in oak, with restorations. We usually see the model A in walnut and the model B in oak, so this is a little on the unusual side. The case has been refinished to golden oak and there are a couple of small veneer repairs. The label is half there; original dial with some stains and wear; bezel and other hardware is all original. Seems to run. Ht 32" $325-425

634 C.1913, Wm. L. Gilbert, "University" store regulator with restoration. This model [catalog #3022] came only in mahogany finish over poplar, and this case has been stripped and refinished to light maple color {actually looks nice}. Retains original dial, tablets, pendulum and rear label. Ht 34" $250-350

635 C.1930, English, Fusee Dial Clock in excellent condition, with restored dial. This well made clock retains its robust chain fusee movement in good working order. This clock was probably in use in one of the many small post offices in England, and the dial was repainted around 1960 with the insignia of HM Elizabeth II. Good looking clock; ht 14 ¾" $250-350

636 C.1910, Seth Thomas, EMPIRE No. 67, Crystal Regulator in very good original condition. The only minor point that keeps this from being excellent is that the gong nut in the "ceiling" has come loose in transit and you have to take the case apart to tighten that nut. The clock is otherwise complete and sound with xlnt dial and beveled glass. Ht 12½" $400-600

637 C.1910, French Art Nouveau Walnut Cartel clock in excellent original condition. We have several Nouveau clocks in this sale and this is among the more attractive cases. Note the carved reed leaves up the sides, intertwined tulips at the bottom and intertwined ruffled blossoms at the top. The wooden dial with 12 shield numerals, all with wavy nouveau style numerals and a 13^th little plaque with the name Baumann, Paris. Height 23" $500-700

638 C.1900, French, Silver over Brass, architectural mantel clock with blue & white porcelain panel for the dial. This is a finely detailed case, a bearded armless man with horses hooves for feet at each corner in lieu of pillars, and each corner above with winged griffins. The well made French movement strikes the hours on a bell. Height 11" $1750-2250

639 C.1925, Swiss, Gubelin, Lucerne, small 8-day jeweled lever desk clock with a wonderful enamel dial of a country maiden tending 2 sheep in the meadow while making a floral wreath with twine and ribbon {superb detail}. Items like this are more of a work of art than a precision timepiece and this is sure to be of interest to the ladies. Ht 5" $1000-1250

640 C.1930, Waltham Clock Co., 8-day desk clock with seconds hand and up-down indication on the dial. This is a nice small clock; the walnut case is square with mitered corners, then covered with a piece of black bakelite, held on by machine screws with 4 gilt end caps. Runs OK; 8" square. $550-650

641 C.1900, French, Ormolu Desk clock with compass in the top, barometer next and a clock in the base, and in excellent original condition. An attractive Victorian clock; ht 10" $800-1000

642 C.1890, French, Mystery Clock, Traditional bronzed spelter statue, holding pendulum which swings with no apparent impulse. This clock is in good running order, however, the pendulum is a modern replacement; this is one item on mystery clocks that simply has to be made if it is missing. There are some minor chips in the case, but it retains all of its hardware in good condition, great orig gilding in the incised moldings, and seems to be in good running order. Height 24" $4250-4750

643 C.1900, French, Lady in a Car, and with a clock. This is a very interesting motif, appealing to early car buffs. The spelter statue and car retain all their original polychrome finish, in muted tones; all fingers, toes and spokes intact. The red marble base is good with no chips nor cracks. With a good French striking movement. Height 22" $4000-5000

649 C.1962, LeCoultre, Switzerland, Atmos clock. Serial # 151136, a gilt bronze case with dark green marble base, and lift out front panel for setting the time. This is an unusual model, and one like it recently sold on eBay for a large sum. This particular clock had some damage to the numeral 12 that has been carefully touch up with hobby paint and looks OK. Balance hold down is a thumb screw in the center of the marble base. This clock is mechanically sound and complete, and will tick as-is, but we feel certain it will require service for regular use. Ht 9" $500-1000

650 C.1900, German, Adler, Berlin Style wall regulator, 8-day time and strike on a gong. This is a large Berliner, and with a separate hinged door with walnut mask over the pendulum. The pendulum is heavily embossed with a wild turkey in flight.

651 C.1910, German, Walnut Wall regulator, 8-day spring, in a heavy full size case with large round columns on each side, and surmounted by the original top with original horse.

652 C.1900, French, Wall Cartel clock that must certainly have been the original that New Haven and other American firms copied, as the castings and chain design are identical. This one has a small French 8-day pendulette movement, with the sunburst pendulum visible below the dial. Winds at 12. Total ht 21" $175-275

653 C.1917, Seth Thomas "Perth" mahogany mantel clock in excellent original condition. This clock came from a local home and looks as if has been setting in one spot for the last 50 years. Original finish is crazed; movement dirty and untouched. For the collector who likes to do his own restoration, this fills the bill. Height 11½ " $150-200

654 C.1910, Waterbury, Round Head Drop school clock in good condition. The walnut case was lightly varnished over some time ago and there are a few runs. Original painted dial is excellent, retains orig hands, pendulum and partial label rear and fair label inside. 8- day movement is sound and complete; needs new suspension wire {$1}. Height 24 ½" $200-300

655 C.1890, German, Alt Deutsch style wall clock with pressed brass trim, with restoration. The case has been refinished and a couple of the moldings repaired; all the brass bits have been highly polished and lacquered. The hands show some rust from a solder repair; the black numerals are worn on the dial. 8-day movement is marged "F-G" in a shield, and seems to fun fine and strikes on a coiled wire gong. Quite attractive on the wall; ht 31" $300-400

656 C.1890, New Haven, Wall Regulator in the German Alt Deutsch style. This clock does not show in the New Haven literature, however what you see is an original clock…. no spare holes in the back of the case, and the large 8-day movement is clearly signed New Haven. The original painted dial has the name of an English dealer: Jones & Jones, Porth, and the paint is beginning to flake; extra screws have been added to the bezel to hold it on. The case retains original finish and top trim -- two little down turned leaves are absent from the carved décor on top. Runs OK and strikes the hours and halves on a cathedral gong; original pendulum is perfect--no dents. Height 51" $500-700

657 C.1875, German, Gustav Becker, 2-weight wall regulator, in need of work. This is an attractive case with original top, however it has had a hard case of wood worm and has quite a few holes…no dust apparent from current activity. The movement, serial number 425904, has all its wheels and runs OK, but is missing the gong support, gong, and hammer {substitutions are available from a competent clock mechanic}. Rack and snail on front are fine. Dial + hands original and good; pulleys are home-made from 30 hour alarm balances, grooved for the cable. Height 52" $400-600

658 C.1890, French Clock in Blue Cobalt porcelain urn, incomplete. This has a well made movement that ticks and clicks, but is missing pendulum and bell. The spelter base is from an American lamp, and has been sprayed gold to match the side trim on the vase. Best part of the clock is the brilliant paste bezel and dial with floral decorations. The urn is fine with no chips. Height 15" $250-350

659 C.1890, Another French Blue Cobalt porcelain urn, this one complete with original base and white metal adornments {winged cherubs on either side and a dove above, with floral garlands}. Note the cast mounts have come a little loose in shipment, however everything is intact. Also someone wire wooled the mounts to spelter and then accented them with gold paint. Retains original round French movement with good porcelain dial with gilt bronze center. A very decorative clock that can be improved with proper finishing of the cast mounts. Ht 20½" $400-600

Retains original mercury pendulum with vials intact and keeps time {not striking}. Note this case has a fancy bronze rope decoration top and bottom; case is dirty but will clean up--no corrosion. This clock was retailed by a Boston dealer; the name "Boston" appears on the dial, and this clock has original hand tooled steel hands that are especially nice. Height 10" $300-400

663 C.1910, Seth Thomas, Brass Lever Wall clock, 30 hour time and strike, with seconds hand. This clock has been cleaned and the dial re-papered. Runs and strikes fine. Dial = 5", ht 8½" $225-275

664 C.1910, Waterbury Pressed Oak Gingerbread clock in good, original condition {needs cleaning}. The case is dirty and some of the finish crazed off.

Height 22" $125-175

665 C.1880, Anglo-American Round Drop school clock, running. You don't often see Seth Thomas movements in these English drop cases, but here is one intact. The top gear of the winding stop is missing on each side {often removed by an exasperated repairman who doesn't know how to set them}, otherwise everything is intact and sound. The painted metal dial is recent. Height 24" $175-275

666 C.1870, E. N. Welch, 8-Day Beehive, with restorations. The dial has been papered over and antiqued with spray paint. The tablet looks to have been there for some time, but is not typical of what we see on a beehive. Retains original pinned plate movement and a good label. There is some minor veneer damage on the left band, but case retains original finish, varnished over. Ticks and strikes. Height 18" $175-275

667 C.1855, Chauncey Jerome, New Haven, 8-Day beehive in fair to good condition. The case retains original finish, varnished over, some veneer raising.

668 C.1920, Gilbert "CORRIDOR", or gallery clock, in oak refinished. This clock had been painted white and now has been stripped and lacquered over the plain oak {no stain was used}.

For reference, see Ehrhardt, Book 1, page 184. Height 24" $150-200

669 C.1909, Seth Thomas ENGINE LEVER, time only brass cased wall clock with twist bezel. This clock comes to us from storage. It is running OK.

670 C.1920, German, Oak Cased wall regulator in an oak Art Deco style case with straight sides and rounded corners. This clock is all original. And the movement has been cleaned and is running fine.

671 C.1900, Seth Thomas Adamantine mantel clock in generally good condition. If you look in the Seth Thomas catalog you will see they produced some models with gilt metal ornaments instead of incising into the case… examples are the IDEAL and the CORSAIR.. Although this model could not be identified, it is the same case shape as the "Texel", with different ornamentation. The rear dust cover has been replaced with a piece of pressed composition board. The movement has been overhauled and is running. Ht 11" $100-125

672 C.1850, Brewster & Ingrahams 4-Post 8-day steeple in good condition. Although the case was refinished some time ago, the dial, tablet, hands and label are original and excellent.

672a C.1920, English, Toby Baxter, 30 hour desk novelty in the form of a car and driver. The rear wheels turn on an axle, as well as make the clock "stand up" on the desk. Form novelties such as this have been very popular this year. Ht 5" $150-250

673 C.1875, W. F. Evans, Birmingham, 3-fusee, 8-bell quarter chime skeleton clock in the form of Westminster Abbey. Extensive details on both Evans and this frame design can be found in Derek Roberts book titled British Skeleton Clocks, pages 64-65 and page 148. This clock has engraved plaques with the name of the retailer: Morath Bros., Liverpool. This clock also has a large 2-jar mercury pendulum {see detail image}, and a glazed oak cabinet with heavy beveled glass on three sides. The cabinet may be set on a mantel or hung from the wall, and has a hinged front door for winding and adjusting the clock. This frame pattern was one of the most intricate that Evans produced, and actually has 4 plates in all, two to carry the movement, a third which supports the dial, and a 4^th which appears as a portico in front of the entire assembly. Noteworthy is the horizontal pin drum and bell set which plays quite "strikingly" above the dial; plays Whittington Church sequence. Although the clock is running and chiming, it would benefit from service. Height of clock and its base, 24", overall height 32" $14,000-18,000
