001.  C.1939, Seth Thomas, "Stellar", in generally good original condition. This mahogany case has a few bumps and scrapes, and the latch for the bezel is not holding. We will be so brave as to quote only one sentence from the 1939 ST catalog: "With graceful sweeping contour and wavelike base molding, all enlivened with ship's wheel spokes and sash in bright polished brass, the Stellar will inject a nautical tang into any furnishing scheme." If that ad writer is still alive, we have a job for him! With pleasant 2-rod strike; movement is clean and running; inside label intact. Ht 9.25" $50--$75

002.  C.1929, New Haven Clock Co., "Willis", 8-day lever movement banjo timepiece in generally good original condition. This miniature mahogany banjo case retains its original finish.

003.  C.1850, Chauncey Jerome, New Haven, Conn., 30-hour time/strike/alarm steeple clock, as-found. Cosmetically this is an eye appealing clock with good veneer and original finish; however a couple of negatives exist: the original alarm was held in with a bottom j hook [old vacant hole], now with block mount alarm, not hooked to mov't, and the hands are recent replacements; pendulum new. The tip of right finial is broken off. The 30 movement is interesting in that it has the remains of Geneva stops. The tablet is a very nice copy. Still looks good and runs fine; nice label. Ht 19.75" $100--$150

004.  C.1985, Clockwork, Inc, Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, novelty 110v electric clock, with four well cut wooden gears, the seconds gear driven by a synchronous motor. Note steel pointers enable you to tell the time. Runs fine and would be great for a window display. The gears are made from cabinet grade plywood and show no signs of wear. Since this is serial number 1952, we have to assume they made a couple thousand of these, but we have never seen one before. Ht 33" $150--$200

005.  C.1870, Jerome & Co., 8-day gallery timepiece. This very attractive brass and leather covered timepiece, with milk glass buttons at each corner, and is in quite good condition for its age. The leather has a little damage near 1 o'clock and bezel latch. The painted dial has touch-up where the paint has flaked and the numbers have been strengthened in places. The minute hand is an old replacement and too short. Movement complete & ticking, but will need attention. Still an above average example of this model. Ht 12.50" $150--$250

006.  C.1870, Seth Thomas "Kitchen", mini bevel front shelf clock in generally good original condition. The only items that keeps this from being very good are the flaking rose tablet, and a veneer chip by the door sticky latch. Otherwise the clock retains original finish, good veneer, decent dial and crisp label. Ht= 15.75" $125--$175

007.  C.1885, F. Kroeber, NY, Walnut parlor clock in excellent restored condition. This clock has just been professionally restored and is running briskly for a full week, keeps good time, and striking well too. The walnut case has a top similar to the Occidental and side columns similar to the Texas model, but we do not find a direct reference to this particular model. The original tablet is etched with a flowering vine pattern; movement and gong signed F. Kroeber, NY. Ht 23" $250--$350

008.  C.1990, Galilea, quartz movement desk clock with calendar & moon phase. This interesting French made timepiece has a black hemisphere that rotates around a half section of a moonscape thereby showing visually the current phase of the moon. We have it set for a new moon in the image. Once you set the clock {and keep the battery fresh} it will display an accurate view of the current phase, ALONG with a 365 day calendar that is read in the base of the clock. These were retailed out of New York by a company called Sarut for over $100 and they are quite interesting and no longer available; in original box with manual. Ht 9.50" $90--$120

009.  C.1852, F. C. Andrews, Bristol, Conn., 30-hour time/strike OG shelf clock in good, original unrestored condition. There are some veneer chips on the flat outer edge of the case. The dial has a little paint loss near the strike winding hole, and is a bit dirty. Both glasses are original. The tablet by Wm B. Fenn is exceptional. The hour hand is replacement. There is part of an overpasted label that has enough left to indicate that this clock was probably marketed by Daniel Pratt & Sons, Boston. Ht 26" $150--$200

010.  C.1875, F. Kroeber Clock Co., New York, "Cabinet No. 54", 8-day time/strike walnut shelf clock, in good original condition. The finish on this clock has been rubbed down and polished.

The silvered chapter ring has Arabic numerals, and is a bit tarnished. The movement strikes on a single steel rod. The movement comes with a nice set of matching Art Nouveau weights, & pendulum, plus mounting bracket and period pulleys {note part of the applique is missing from one of the weights}. The pendulum is 25.5" from end to end, and the movement is a standard 80 beat, and fits a standard length case. $250--$350

012.  C.1910, German, Junghans, 2-weight 8-day "Vienna" movement with original embossed pendulum, weights, and pulleys. The dial is dirty and is in need of restoration.

013.  C.1920, Waterbury Clock Co., "Chime Clock No. 500", 8-day time/chime mahogany mantel clock, in generally good original condition. The finish on the case is crazed and there are some corner dings & minor scratches. The porcelain dial is in nice condition, and with large, easy to read Arabic numerals. The solid plate Westminster chime movement is properly signed; it has been out of the case and the lower mount needs tightening. The gong set, hands and case hardware are original.

The original movement is properly signed, and the wooden dial is signed "J. C. Brown". The two grommets for the winding holes are missing but are easily replaced. Both glasses are original with a wonderful tablet of the J. C. Brown house, which still stands across the street from the American Clock and Watch Museum in Bristol, Conn. A nice label with a picture of the Forestville plant is inside the case. A little veneer work will render this a great 8-day OOG. Ht 28.75" $200--$300

016.  C.1910, Ansonia Clock Co., "Regulator A", time only oak long drop school clock in generally good condition.

The dial was re-papered long ago and has some age spots from hanging in a moist climate {from the service labels inside, it appears to have spent its life in Charlestown and Barnstable, Mass}. The case retains original paper label in the bottom of the case, with some tears. If you are handy with veneer, you can improve this clock significantly. Ht 32" $275--$375

017.  C.1897 {dated}, Seth Thomas Clock Co., NAVY, 8-day time/strike mantel clock. We could not find this specific clock in the catalog, but it is most similar to the "Travelers no. 2".

There is a Seth Thomas label on the bottom of the case, with some losses. There is also stenciled on the back of the case "Navy", as the ST factory often stenciled the names of clocks right on the cases in the 1890s. Rear cover with ST logo; nice clean oak shelf clock. Ht 14.75" $125--$225

018.  C.1892, Seth Thomas Clock Co., 8-day time & strike Adamantine mantle clock, in good, as-found condition.

There is some wear damage to the embossed molding on the lower right side of the case. Two of the molded corner spandrels are not complete. The paper dial which is mounted on a metal pan has turned dark; note image of unique dial mounting. Also the Railroad Chrono Company must have provided dial artwork that resulted in a production fluke, as they have a circle printed at 6 o'clock for the winding arbor, which is actually at 6:30. The movement is properly signed and is running. Ht 21" $200--$300

024.  C.1970, Horolovar Co., New York, "Dickory, Dickory, Dock" clock in good condition.

028.  C.1913, New Haven Clock Co., Brass & glass column empire style novelty clock in very good original condition.

Charlie Terwilliger imported a run of 2000 of these, and they have become quite collectible; this one is number 579. The Briggs was an American adaptation of the European "conical pendulum" clock, commonly called a ‘rotary pendulum'. The desirable feature of this particular model is the 8-day duration. This timepiece is very good original condition with original glass dome. Ht 8" $300--$500

035.  C.1910, New Haven Clock Co., "Willard", 30-Day banjo timepiece. The case has been stripped of its finish and needs to be restored.

038.  C.1905 Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Co., thirty-hour figurine novelty in very good original condition. Although the movement is not marked, it is obviously a Gilbert.

The case is stamped "DLW" for David L. Williams, who was a partner of Geo. D. Hatch from the late 1840's through 1860. They actually produced clocks as "Williams & Hatch". Other than a crack in the throat tablet, and a flaking dial, this is a good mid 19th century banjo, worth of dial restoration. Ht, with bracket, 41" $750--$950

The porcelain dial and beveled glass are perfect. The hands are original; movement complete, sound and running. The one item you should be careful with is the tip of the gaff, which is bent clear over; we did not attempt to straighten it for fear of a break; should be dealt with professionally {the small side hook is fine}.

An original label is on the bottom of the case and on the inside of the back door are instructions for operating the alarm.

075.  C.1936, Seth Thomas Clock Co., Monitor variant, 1-day time & strike ship's bell clock. The ST catalogs for 1920--39 do not show a model exactly like this, however, they do show this bezel as an option on the Merrimack, and of course the Monitor with the outside bell. The brass case is very nice with no dents or dings; I would imagine that this was either given by Seth Thomas Co. as a gift to someone or assembled by an employee as his "unique" clock. The parts are all original issue and there is no evidence of anything being changed. The silvered dial has some tarnish spots and minor scratches but is in above average condition. Ht 10.5" $200--$300

Excellent reproduction painted tablet. The clock has a period thirty-hour fusee movement marked C. Jerome, period gong and hands. Paper dial on zinc plate not authentic, but a proper raised chapter zinc dial could be made by The Dial House, Dallas, GA and would really improve this nice reproduction of a very rare and valuable clock. {note nuts that hold fusee assembly are sticking out rear of case} Would be several thousand dollars if original. Ht 19.5". $400--$600

082.  C.1980, Reproduction painted cast spelter clock peddler. Nicely cast peddler in 19^th century attire and top hat with nicely painted body and face. Thirty-hour pendulum "wag on wall" clock with decorated tin dial is attached to his chest. Clock retains pendulum, but minute hand is missing which should not be too hard to replace or make {does tick fine}. Note there is another clock {inanimate} on his back as well. Marked "JvE" on underside of base. This is a nice version of the peddler. Ht 16" $150--$250

085.  C.1894, Ansonia "FROLIC" double statue novelty clock in generally good original condition. This model was offered in Silver or Bronze finish, and it appears by the black oxidation that this one was silver [virtually all worn off]. These Ansonia novelties are hard to find in complete condition and this one has no breaks nor cracks in the casting. The 1-day movement is dirty and lacking tiny screws to hold it in case; otherwise complete and with good dial and original hands. Ly's 1998 price guide placed this at $300. Ht 7.25" $150--$250

086.  C.1955, Swiss, LeCoultre Rue de la Paix "Street Clock", mini souvenir clock, in excellent original condition. This example has gilded post, + a clear lamp lens with some age cracks.

The original dial numerals have been strengthened, and there is minor paint loss on the dial. The clock has a nice cut and frosted tablet. The lock to the door is missing. The hands are old but not original to this clock. Label is dark & with minor losses, but is legible. Ht 18.50" $200--$400

089.  C.1875, French, Bronze Figural Clock Father Time, in as-found condition. The bronze itself is exceptional, with fine detail. The marble base has some damage, a full crack across the top piece which supports the statue and other small losses along the base. The well made 8-day bell strike movement seems to run and strike, however the porcelain dial has a large repair around the right winding hole. Note also that hanging the pendulum requires the patience of Job, since you have to snake it up between the bell and the crutch with little clearance; rear cover does not open. In perfect condition, we would have expected this to fetch around $5000. Ht 18" $900--$1,200

090.  C.1890, French, Marble & Ormolu Portico Clock in generally good condition. The nicely veined white & gray marble is in good condition, and all the original ormolu is intact. The bezel is missing its crystal, but those are readily available. The minute hand sets a bit far out on the cannon pinion and is currently held on with a small wire; it is our belief that the collet for the minute hand simply needs shortening. The fancy porcelain dial is xlnt and with signature of the retailer: X RAPHANEL, Paris. It also appears that the original fancy pendulum got lost and someone glued an embossed button to another old pendulum of the proper length. Despite a few shortcomings, a good looking clock with potential; ht 16.5" $400--$600

091.  C.1838, Eli Terry, Jr. & Co., Terrysville, Conn., 8-day time/strike column and cornice shelf clock, in good condition, except as noted. {town is definitely printed with center "s"}. In the past, the case was completely painted white, and has managed to be scrubbed down with wire wool without using chemical strippers {some white still in seams} This large brass round top movement is by Eli Terry, Jr., and is in good condition. The dial is well above average with original hands. The original tablet has been removed from the door for restoration, and then put in with glazer's points {putty line is still obvious}. The top glass is original. The case has veneer damage along the base, at the door hinges, and a small piece missing at upper corner. The case is missing its simple cornice top and probably had some sort of feet. The hands are original. Strike bell now replaced with gong. There is a picture of a very similar clock on page 146 of "The Contributions of Joseph Ives to Connecticut Clock Technology" by Ken Roberts. It shows the movement and also the type of cornice this clock probably had. Ht 34" $700--$900

092.  C.1829, Silas Hoadley, Plymouth, Conn., 30-hour time/strike/alarm wood movement half column and splat shelf clock. This is one of Hoadley's "Franklin Clocks" as stated on the label.

There is a veneer chip near the right chimney and veneer repair near bottom hinge. The movement is very clean and recently strung. The top side returns are replaced. The bottom "Time is Money" tablet appears to be a proper restoration, putty renewed once & is falling out. All in all, a way above average example. With 3 weights. Ht 38" $700--$900

095.  C.1895, New Haven Clock Co., 8-day time & calendar short drop school clock in very good original condition {dirty out of a home in New Brunswick}. Although we could not find this specific model in the New Haven catalog, it is a factory clock, with proper movement, original to the case, along with original dial and pendulum.

The beveled glass in both doors is xlnt {complex bevel on waist pane}. The hands are original. The pendulum would have been a small face or sunburst, now a smooth brass bob. Replacement pendulums are available. Ht 19.5" $750--$1,000

098.  C.1850, J. C. Brown (Forestville Manufacturing Co.) 8-day time & strike full ripple steeple, with restorations. The dial was repainted by the Dial House of Dallas, Georgia in 1983. The hands are replacements. The frosted tablet is new, but the clock comes with a distressed period tablet, now broken and reglued.

099.  C.1908, Sessions Clock Co., 8-day time/strike/alarm hanging gingerbread clock. We couldn't find this particular clock in the catalog, but it looks like a variation on the "Elite" model.

101.  C.1881, New Haven Clock, for the American Wringer Co., "American Regulator 8-day T.P. Calendar" in oak {time & calendar}. Although similar to other New Haven models, this clock does not appear in the New Haven catalog. A label on the back of the case states this clock was manufactured expressly for "The American Wringer Company, New York". The oak case has been refinished to a caramel color. The original dial is a little dark from age. All 3 hands are original. There is a nice label {with minor losses} inside the case dated 1881 on how to setup the clock.

The throat door is a replacement, cut out of a solid piece of wood rather than 4 sections joined together, and the throat glass is Waltham, but from a Mt. Vernon set {this is Perry's Victory}. The bottom bracket has been broken at one time and reglued. The balance of the case retains original finish. This clock uses Waltham's reliable "car clock" stem wind movement, which needs cleaning.

The movement is signed "Waterbury" and has been cleaned and is running strongly. The bezel has some dings and little flat area on one side. The glass needs to be mounted better in bezel.

The veneered front panel has developed a stress crack that actually adds to the character. The clock is powered by a Seth Thomas No. 2 weight movement that was adapted to keep time in the case.

172.  C.1875, American Clock Company, New York "Tucker No. 2" cast iron case shelf clock with Samuel Root 30-hour marine escapement movement. Case is complete, has the original bright iron/dark iron finish but needs cleaning {a haze of rust on top}. The hands and the numerals on the cast iron dial have been painted white {easily removed}. See also lot #79. Ht 12" $150--$250

173.  C.1875, Seth Thomas Clock Co. walnut 30-hour timepiece in good original condition. We have never seen this model before and it is not shown in any Seth Thomas trade catalogs. But, we have two of them! We can date the clock to the 1870's because of the trademark on the dial of this clock. It has original spade hands, the dial is in good condition with just minor flaking. It has the small Thomaston label with eagle often seen in timepieces. It has a "T" type 30-hour movement as shown in Tran Duy Ly's Seth Thomas Clocks and Movements, 1996, p. 482. The finish is original. See also clock #174. Minor nicks on rt side of case only noticeable on close inspection. Ht 11" $200--$300

174.  C.1875, Seth Thomas Clock Co. walnut 30-hour timepiece. This example, identical to #173 except the case has been cleaned up a bit more. The dial, though a Seth Thomas with good original paint, does not have the trademark and is off another S. T. cottage timepiece as there are 2 extra screw holes {really looks OK}. Retains same hands, "T" movement and eagle label as previous example. This lot has a plus in that it has a label on the back of "M. J. Murray, Practical Watchmaker & Jerseler, 346 Fourth Avenue, New York. French, England and American Clocks Repaired." This label has the owner, J. B. Hildreth, penned on it and the date Jan. 3^rd 1885. Ht 11" $200--$300

175.  C.1865, E. Ingraham & Co. 30-hour "Grecian" model. This early mahogany "Grecian" stands a little taller than later models made in the 1870's. It retains a nice green label noting Elias Ingraham's Sep. 30, 1862 patent. The dial paper has been hand done maybe 50 years ago by a graphic artist who "guessed" at the format -- it really looks OK despite differing from the original; it has aged nicely to a tan color. The hands are original. Minor veneer chip bottom rt edge of base. Ht 13.5" $300--$400

176.  C.1870, Jerome & Co. (New Haven Clock Co.) 8-day rosewood mantel. This simple round top model was not found in catalogs; note the beginnings of the tambour style which 50 years later proved so popular. The case has been refinished and has a couple of veneer repairs on the bezel. The hands are original and although the dial has some chipping, the paint is original. An interesting copper wire "braided rope" molding holds in the glass. There is a Jerome instruction label on the back which is about 75% intact. Ht 12.75" $300--$400

177.  C.1860 Seth Thomas Clock Co., Plymouth Hollow, Conn, "Rose Column" 8-day shelf clock. Original dial, hands and lyre plate movement. The mirror in the upper door and the eagle glass in the lower door are replacements. The mahogany veneered case has some veneer repairs, but is basically in good condition. Overall complete and sound with decent label. Ht 32" $400--$600

178.  C.1839, Jeromes, Gilbert, Grant & Co., Bristol, Conn. round side cornice top shelf clock with early Noble Jerome patent 30-hour OG movement. The brass dial is original, but some of the numerals have been overpainted and could be done better. The hands are old, but not correct. The mahogany veneer has few chips and repairs, but unfortunately is wholly missing on the curved part of the cornice {stained to match}. The pressed brass escutcheon and door lock are intact. The reverse tablet masking the dial is original and in good condition. The lower tablet is old, but about 15 years newer than the clock (these usually had mirrors in the bottom). The interior of the case has its original blue dust paper and a very fine card label. The clock has its correct square weights. Ht 22" $400--$500

179.  C.1858 "E. N. Welch at the old stand late J. C. Brown", Forestville, CT. This is indeed a Welch clock and has a nice label inside. The rippled molding rosewood case, unmistakably Atkins, was probably purchased by Welch from the stock of the Atkins Clock Manufacturing Co. went they went bankrupt in 1857. The case is in good condition with a small veneer loss along the back edge. The movement and hands are Welch and the deep case was originally blocked forward so that Welch's movement would fit properly. The lower door tablet is original. The brass bezel and the painted dial is original with only minor chips. A later stencil has been added below the lower door which could be removed, but is not objectionable. The lower door knob is replaced. The back of the case has a large advertising label which is about 80% intact showing the clock was sold by Shaw's Clock Store, No. 42 Westminster St., Providence, RI. Ht 25" $400--$600

180.  C.1860 "E. N. Welch at the old stand late J. C. Brown", Forestville, CT Drop Octagon No. 2. This is a more typical Welch wall clock than lot #179, but was made about the same time and has the same wording, but a different label printing {label with losses, but legible}. Mahogany case with zebra striped mahogany banding. The original carved "wings" are intact and the decalcomania lower door tablet is original. The dial has been repapered and although the clock has original Welch hands, they are probably 20 years later than the clock. Ht 24.5" $200--$300

181.  C.1900, Junghans, 8-day time/strike RA wall regulator, with restoration. This small clock is in pretty nice condition, however the case has been stripped of its finish. The finials and eagle are period to the case. The movement looks to have been recently cleaned and put in running condition. The dial, hands and pendulum are original. Even the glass in the door is original. It is just a nice clean example that deserves some stain and finish on the case. Ht 26" $250--$350

182.  C.1885, French, 8-day wall timepiece with "skeleton" front plate and dial. This is a very nice clock in a nickel-plated case. The reverse painted glass dial is perfect, with original fancy hands. The beveled glass in the door is perfect. The chain to hang the clock is original. The French movement is a well made version with exposed brocot escapement and a small pendulum that swings in front of the bottom ornament. Interestingly the Americans copied this very case; New Haven called it the "Chatelaine". A well made and attractive clock, with the bonus that you can "see" the workings of the clock. Ht 21" $300--$500

183.  C.1879, William L. Gilbert Clock Co. "Baronet" model black walnut parlor clock. This is an unusual model not often found. It has an original paper dial with some wear and repairs and retains its nickel plated bell. The spade hands are replaced and slightly too large. The back has a simple, but well preserved Gilbert label. The case has been refinished and is complete except for the upper finial which has been replaced with an inappropriate eagle, and 2 drop finials. The case varies slightly from the catalog cut which shows the arched top terminating different with hanging finials which this case never had. However, hanging finials ARE missing from the two side decorations. The catalog cut also shows two turned spindle decorations applied each side of the door, but there is no evidence this case had them. With the help of the Gilbert drawings, you can turn the missing finials. Ht 20.5" $250--$350

184.  C.1870, French, 4-Column Empire style shelf clock, as-found. This is a rosewood and marquetry case, with some restoration. The case has some veneer chips on the corners of the base and some roughness on the top; some holes evidencing old wood worm activity. Someone has painted the feet, base molding and top molding with gold paint. These areas would need to be restored. The gilt capitals and bases are in good condition, with bright gilding. The numbers on the dial has been poorly redone. The minute hand is a replacement {and does not match}. The pendulum bob is dirty, lost its gilding, and will need restoration. 8-day movement signed J.B.Wilbor, Paris, has incorrect bell and one dial foot has pulled out. Potential for the right workman. Ht 19.75" $550--$650

185.  C.1909, Seth Thomas Clock Co., World, 15-day, octagon long drop school timepiece in generally good restored condition. The oak case has been refinished to a golden color and the dial has been repainted. Second hand replaced incorrectly; proper hands are available. The gilt counter framing on the bottom door has been brushed with gold paint. The crystal has been replaced and is a bit small. A good looking clock. This clock uses the large ST double spring time movement #86. Ht 32" $325--$425

186.  C.1845, Hills, Goodrich & Co., Plainville, Farmington, Conn., 30-hour time/strike hollow column shelf clock. This clock will need a fair amount of veneer work, as there are several places on the case that have pieces of veneer missing. Fortunately the hollow columns are still in good condition. The tablets are not original. The painted metal dial is in pretty good condition with some loss around the mounting pins. The unsigned 30-hour movement will need some restoration to fix amateur repairs. Label about 70%, but legible. Still a rare clock that can be brought back by a careful workman. Ht 28" $450--$550

187.  C.1894, Ansonia Clock Co., "Novelty No. 803" 30-hour novelty timepiece. This silver finish timepiece looks very similar to the "Barge", but the Barge has a different design on the base {a shell}. This timepiece is in nice condition, much of the silver finish worn off; note there was a bit of corrosion on the sail above the dial, but not obvious under silver touch-up. The front bezel that supports the glass has lost its nickel finish. The dial has been very carefully re-papered and with proper Ansonia logo; the hands are original. Seems to run. An uncommon clock. Ht 14.5" $225--$325

188.  C.1880, German, 30-hour time/alarm cottage timepiece. These timepieces were made to compete with the American versions. This example even has an American eagle on the label, and looks similar to the octagon top model produced by Seth Thomas. The case has some roughness and veneer chips on the base, other veneer is loose. The door molding surrounding the dial and the tablet has been newly painted. The original dial has some paint loss and wear. Both glasses are original. The bell for the alarm has been replaced. Ht 10" $100--$125

189.  C.1910, Westclox Clock Co., LaSalle, Illinois, 30-hour lever movement iron front table clock. The case has been sprayed with gold paint. The dial is very clean with a nice decorative brass element in the center. The case has a hole at the top to allow it to be hung on the wall; also note dolphin feet. Rear wind movement is complete and sound; runs a while and stops. Lots of look for the money. Ht 8.25" $75--$125

190.  C.1970, Horolovar Co., New York, Ignatz flying pendulum timepiece in generally fair to good condition. These cases were all stained dark mahogany, and this one was very carefully repainted in black, and with some losses. One of the round brass ornaments that sits behind the side handles is missing. The rest of the timepiece is all there, and it seems to run fine. Ht 10.25" $125--$150

191.  C.1913, William L. Gilbert Clock Co., "Observatory", 8-day wall timepiece. This oak example has been stripped, and has a dark stain. Both glasses are original but the upper glass has lost its black background in the corners. The original dial has a little wear on some of the numbers. The calendar hand has been repaired, but the other two hands are original. The pendulum and bob are replacements {and not keeping time, you will need to get a new leader and suspension spring} There is a fair label on the back of the case {about 90%, but dirty and with tears}. Ht 36" $250--$350

192.  C.1910 Unknown, German-made hanging porcelain thirty-hour timepiece novelty. Porcelain has two small chips on flourishes, but the flower decoration and gilt are very nice. Clock hangs from a metal chain, likely replacing a deteriorated fabric ribbon. The porcelain dial and beveled glass are perfect and the clock has its original winding and setting knobs. Ht. 7" (not including chain). $100--$150

193.  C.1910, French miniature Renaissance-style timepiece. This cast brass cases has amazing detail on all four sides including the round back door. Eight-day round plate movement with platform escapement (platform replaced). Hands appear original and there is no evidence of a bezel or crystal over the dial. The wax has worn out of the numerals A very cute clock. Ht 7.75" $200--$300

194.  C.1910, Swiss, 8-Day "Oscillator", now on a large female statue of Nautica, standing on a cotton bale, and with an anchor in her left hand and a horn of plenty below her feet. This statue may have had a larger swinging arm at one time, but it certainly works for this one. The Swiss arm in excellent order, with most of original gilding intact and with xlnt porcelain dial. Unlike other swinging arms, this one is designed to beat seconds and it truly is mystifying to watch. Length of arm = 8.5"; overall height = 19" $800--$1000

195.  C.1912, Waterbury Clock Co., "Calendar No. 43", 8-day time & strike calendar clock, with perpetual lower mechanism. This is a very nice walnut example with some restoration. Two small trim pieces on the upper left side have been replaced. The two dials have been re-papered at some time, with appropriate brand information. Note that Waterbury offered this same case as a walnut parlor clock called the Niagara, which sold for half the cost of the double dial. This is a clean example of an uncommon model. Ht 28.25" $1,150--$1,450

196.  C.1865, Fairbanks & Co., Saint Johns, New Brunswick, Canada, 30-hour time & strike shelf clock. This clock is in as found condition, in need of some restoration. The case was made in Canada, and the movement, dial & tablet imported from Connecticut. The original tablet has a single crack, right to left, and paint loss in the sky. At some time the clock was brushed with black paint. Most of the original mahogany veneer looks to still be present under the paint, however there is some veneer apparently missing on the base and on the cornice. The clock has a 30-hour 2-wt unsigned brass movement with tombstone cut-outs. The wooden dial has paint loss and dirt and will need restoration. Minute hand is improperly replace. Fading label touts "Clocks, Looking Glasses and Picture Frames, Manufactured & Sold by Fairbanks & Co." [they were in business from the 1830s]. Ht 28" $225--$325

197.  C.1909, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "Globe", 8-day time & strike octagon drop school clock, in generally good condition, the case refinished. The rosewood veneered case has some veneer loss on the back edge of the bottom, the front moldings on the bottom and on the upper portion of the left side behind the dial. There is some minor paint flaking on the dial and some areas on the outer edge that have been touched up {looks pretty good}. The hands are original. The gilt molding on the bottom door has been gold painted. There is a partial label inside the case. Runs and strikes robustly. Ht 31" $325--$425

198.  C.1875, F. Kroeber, New York, "Cabinet No. 4", 8-day time/strike mantel clock.. The ebonized case has its original finish with some small wear spots; originally the carved incising would have had gold leaf that is now worn away. The original paper dial has turned very dark, while the center portion is a replacement. About 90% of the label remains on the back of the clock. The movement is signed. A good value for the Kroeber collector. Ht 12" $225--$235

199.  C.1970, Swiss, LeCoultre, 8-day miniature timepiece. This little brass and red leather case looks is in the form of a set of bellows. The case is very clean with just a little loss to the lacquer coating. The movement is loose in the case, and will need attention {one screw is holding}, however the movement is sound and in robust running condition; note hands are also mis-aligned. Ht 6.75" $275--$325

200.  C.1949, Chelsea Clock Co., The Chinese Lacquer, 8-day desk timepiece, serial 524226. This black lacquered model is in generally good condition, with wear commensurate with age. There is some damage and loss of paint to the decorative elements on the edges of the case and on the figures in the center of the dial. The minute hand has been repaired, and the movement is loose in the case The movement is complete, but needs to be cleaned as it runs for a short time and stops. Will clean up; we have got as much as $650 for these in the past, but this one is not worth over $300; see also lot 570 for a better one. Ht 6.75" $550--$650

201.  C.1890, Ansonia Clock Co., 30-hour porcelain alarm clock, pattern XIII. The case is in generally good condition; there is a small chip, been glued back on above the numeral 11, and there is some wear to the gold striping from handling; has been some touch up to the gold on the sides of the case. The paper dial is very clean and the hands are original. The beveled glass in the bezel is perfect. Ht 9.75" $250--$300

202.  C.1929, {dated} New Haven Clock Co., Winetka, 8-day time/strike banjo clock, special presentation, in very good condition. The case has its original finish with the normal signs of wear, minor edge abrasion, etc. The silvered dial is bright, with only minor discoloration around the winding holes. The hands are replacements, but are the correct length.. The clock was given as gift in 1929 as indicated by the interesting bottom tablet, carefully done in reverse gold leaf: "Presented to Montedonico Proudfit & Co., by the liverpool & London & Globe Insurance Company.....Oct 1929". A complete label is on the back. This is the smallest striking pendulum banjo manufactured by New Haven; strikes the hours on a straight steel rod. Ht 18.50" $125--$225

203.  C.1889, New Haven Clock Co., Chatelaine, 15-day lever movement wall timepiece, less chain. This is a very clean clock with all the porcelain numbers intact. The left side of the case has a few small dents. The hands are original. These clocks were probably being made to compete with the French versions that were being imported about the same time {see lot 182}. Suitable brass chain may be purchased at brass suppliers or some hardware stores. This is in much nicer condition than we normally find this model. Ht as shown 14" $150--$250

204.  C.1880, English, rare fusee balloon clock, miniature with ormolu dial. The light mahogany veneer case has dings and scratches and a piece of veneer is missing the back side of the top {does not show from front}; contrasting line inlay is all there. The original gilt brass dial has fine detail and is in nice condition. The hands are original, minute hand with a slight bend. The crutch for the pendulum is broken and there is no pendulum. The balance of the movement is intact, including the tiny chain, and it ticks robustly to full unwind. This is an uncommon clock that deserves, and will respond to restoration. Ht 12.25" $500--$1,000

205.  C.1904, Ansonia Clock Co., Rosalind, 8-day time/strike enameled iron mantel clock. This clock has been carefully restored. The enameled case has been cleaned and polished, and the gold accents re-newed. The side figures and other metal ornaments were originally gilt or bronze finish and are now just base metal. The paper dial is a replacement. The movement is properly signed; seems to run OK, but would benefit from cleaning. A desirable model. Ht 12.25" $200--$250

206.  C.1910, Mixed Lot, "Diana", 8-day bronzed spelter swinging timepiece. The figure statue is period while the Asian movement is about 10 years old. The statue is in good original condition. The original turned wooden base has a little loss of black paint, but this is very easy to restore . The porcelain dial of the movement/arm has a small chip at about 6 o'clock. If all original, this would be worth around $1000. Ht 13.75" $300--$500

207.  C.1910, Mixed Lot, "Elephant", 8-day bronzed spelter swinging timepiece. The elephant statue is period, while the Asian movement is about 10 years old. The statue is in good original condition, however, the jewel bar has broken off the elephants trunk and will need to be drilled out to accept another thread. The original wooden base has lost most of its paint. If all original, this would be worth around $1200. Ht 11" $300--$500

208.  C.1920, German, 30-hour time & musical alarm wall clock. The softwood and mahogany veneered case is in generally good condition. The lever movement has a broken spring on the time side. The silvered dial is pretty clean. The music box looks like a Thorens, but is unmarked. The comb on the music box has 4 broken teeth. The music box and movement are original to the case, however, both the movement and music box have been moved slightly in the case, as evidenced by vacant holes and old glue. With a single perimeter drive music disc {meshes with gear in clock movement}. Although the clock does not run, you can get the musical alarm to play. Ht 19" $200--$300

209.  C.1901, William L. Gilbert Clock Co., "Admiral", 8-day time calendar wall clock in generally good condition, with some exceptions. The case was stripped some time ago and is dirty. The original dial has turned a little dark and spotty from age; tablet original. The calendar hand has been repainted. The hands look old but are too long for this dial. Someone has made a new pendulum rod and in order for the original pressed bob to stay on the rod they flattened it out and ruined it. There is a very clean complete label on the back. Would be worth $450 in nice condition, so our estimate leaves room for improvement. Ht 26.75" $200--$300

210.  C.1875, F. Kroeber Clock Co., "Floretta", 8-day time & strike walnut shelf clock, with restorations. The case has been stripped. Someone was very clever and restored the decorative elements on the top of the case with pressed oak versions of a similar design that were stained to match. The original elements were carved walnut. Hands are replaced. The case has a signed beat scale. The cut and mirrored glass pendulum is rather nice and is worth about $150. There is some loss to the mirror in the pendulum. The door glass is original, and with the remains of an etched border pattern. Would have been $450 if correct Ht 19.5" $200--$300

211.  C.1969, Swiss, LeCoultre ATMOS, perpetual, never wind mantel timepiece, serial #259040. This clock was probably used for a short while as there is a little wear to the one corner of the top and a slight amount on the front of the base. There is a brass plaque with this clock {loose, never installed} noting that it was a gift to "Helen Klehm in recognition of more than a quarter century of service to New Departure-Hyatt and General Motors". {all GM vehicles roll on new departure bearings; the plant used to be in Bristol, Conn}. Miss Klehm's hire date of 1-18-44 is noted on the carry box. And as an aside, isn't it a shame that single employer careers are almost a thing of the past.? These clocks are still sold today in fine stores for around $2000. Includes original literature and guarantee. Ht 9.25" $300--$400

212.  C.1909, Seth Thomas Clock Co., New Sucile variation, 8-day time & strike Patent Adamantine mantle clock. This example is in extremely nice condition. The original dial is very clean and the hands are original. The movement is signed. If you want a nice Seth Thomas black mantel, this is the way you like to find one. Ht 12" $150--$250

213.  C.1915, Seth Thomas Clock Co., Chime Clock No. 5, 4-bell Sonora chime mantel clock. The adamantine finish has been cleaned and polished. There is some damage to celluloid veneer at the corners and along the back edges of the case. The silvered dial is in pretty good condition with some minor tarnish. The hands are original. The rear dust cover is an old replacement, properly made. The movement strikes and chimes Westminster tune, but would benefit from service. Great tone. Ht 14" $350--$550

214.  C.1910, French, 8-day time & strike bracket clock in the Neuchatel style. The mahogany case retains its original finish with painted flowers and ornamental scenes. There is a ding on the upper molding, couple of splits in veneer, and minor scrapes, but overall it is still very good. The dial numbers have faded a little and there is a chip at the three o'clock position, which is not visible when the door is closed. The original lower tablet in the door is cracked in three places, but the glass is held in the door frame, and none is missing. The hands are original. The well made round French movement strikes a gong and is signed simply "Made in France". An attractive clock. Ht 22" $250--$350

215.  C.1909, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "No. 31 Empire", 8-day time/strike crystal regulator. This clock is un-restored condition and will need cleaning to restore the original bright finish to the case and other techniques to restore the bronze finish to the figure, which is rubbed to base metal. The outer left foot has been repaired. This example has the crystal columns with applied gold designs; this model also came with cut glass columns. The dial is perfect and the hands are original. The beveled glass on the back door has a chip. The other beveled glasses are xlnt. The bonnet figure is a little loose in her attachment to the main case, and needs attention {will need disassembly to correct}. Ht 25" $750--$1,000

216.  C.1914, Waterbury Clock Co., 8-day lever movement wall timepiece, in an octagonal oak case with original finish. The original paper dial is slightly discolored with some minor scratches caused by the original hands. No label. This is a very clean example that is sure to please most collectors. Ht 9" $125--$225

217.  C.1885, Welch, Spring & Co., "Damrosch", 8-day double dial calendar {Gale calendar mov't}. This walnut case has some problems; the top and bottom trim are home-made replacements. Actually the top is not too bad a job. The bottom was made by a different person as is it not as good, the carving quite irregular. Door glass replaced with a piece too thick and minute shaft is binding on the glass. The two dials are original but have stains from age. The hands are original. Does have a full inside label {quite dark}. Running robustly, but calendar a bit sluggish. This is a hard to find clock and in original condition is worth $2500. Our estimate leaves plenty of room to afford proper restoration. Ht 41" $750--$1,000

218.  C.1932, Chelsea Clock Co., "Sampson" model , Electric (110v.) yacht wheel ship's bell clock. This is a very heavy brass clock with a bronze finish {brass finish on wheel only}. The silvered dial is excellent with original hands. The clock is sitting on a mahogany base with backboard. The serial number is 199629. Chelesa made electric movement clocks for about 2 years. The time train is electric, and the strike train is operated by a spring wound by the electric motor. Ht 14" $1,100--$1,400

219.  C.1909, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "Empire No. 23", 8-day time/strike crystal regulator. This clock is in pretty nice condition. The case has been well polished, but not lacquered, so has some discoloration. The porcelain dial is perfect. One side glass has a chip missing, but can be easily replaced. The rest of the beveled glasses are fine. The hands are original. The clock is signed "A Stowell & Co." on the dial; ST would "brand" these dials for main street department stores. Ht 11.50" $350--$450

220.  C.1850, Geo. B. Hatch, Attleboro, "Regulator No. 5", with restorations {some inappropriate}. Someone who owned this wanted so bad for it to be a Howard and Davis, that he had a friend stamp Howard & Davis on the movement and had the dial repainted accordingly [looks to have been 25+/- years ago, as the dial is starting to flake]. Neither this case nor the movement ever saw the inside of the Howard shop, and it is definitely a Hatch. The case has been stripped and the tablet freshly painted. Hard to estimate a non-original clock such as this. Looks nice despite the problems, and seems to run OK. Ht 32" $700--$900

221.  C.1910, Unknown, 8-day time/strike bracket clock. This is a large & well made custom case of mahogany and cherry, probably made by a small cabinet shop to match someone's parlor furniture. The dial is a period 30-hour brass tall clock dial that was fitted to the case and drilled for a good 19th Century German movement striking on a single bell. The dial is signed "Abram Thornton". The date aperture on the dial is covered up, as there is no calendar wheel on this mov't. The Chippendale style case is in nice condition with some minor dings and scratches; lower door has warped a little and does not close fully [fixable]. A very decorative piece of furniture. Ht 28" $750--$850

222.  C.1970, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "Plainville", 8-day time & strike steeple clock. This is a dark stained pine case in very clean condition. The movement is a German bim-bam strike model. When this clock was made, Seth Thomas was a part of General Time a Talley Industries Company, and was coming to the end of their production.

This cherry clock was part of their "Country Inns and Back Roads" collection, model 553. The case and dial are as-new. The clock has a German 3-tr pendulum movement.

224.  C.1973, Trend Clock Co. by Sligh Furniture Co., 8-day time/strike Westminster chime mantel clock. A nice pine & cherry case with applied grain, clock with a modern German floating balance movement. The dial is very clean. Plays Westminster tune on the quarter hour.

226.  C.1910, American Waltham Watch Co., 30-hour gaslight timepiece. This is very nice example with an original milk glass dial with blue numbers in a heavy brass bezel.

227.  C.1903, Waterbury Clock Co., "Decoy", 30-hour time & alarm carriage clock. The cast white metal case retains most of its gilt finish in good condition {usually these are quite worn}. The beveled glass is perfect. The paper dial is a replacement, and the chapter ring a bit small for the hands. The rear wind nickel plated movement is in running condition; alarm is set and wound from the rear. This clock cost about $7 in 1903, a fraction of French items it was meant to compete with. Ht 7.50" $125--$225

228.  C.1942, Chelsea Clock Co., 8-day ships or engine room timepiece, case #313107, with later movement #483197 {C.1947}. This heavy brass cased model is generally good condition with some dents along the edge of the bezel. The silvered dial is in good condition with original hands. This looks very much like the model P-640, only this example has a screw bezel. Movement has a later Chelsea platform and is running fine. This likely saw naval or maritime service, and these occasionally have the movements rotated out and into another case after repair. Ht 7.625" $300--$350

229.  C.1870, Jerome & Co., (New Haven Clock Co.), 30-hour time & alarm miniature steeple timepiece.

Brown. The label {with losses} states that it was made at the old establishment of J. C. Brown. The movement is signed "J. C. Brown" {OK for early production like this}. The original dial has a little paint flaking near 5. The top glass, frosted tablet, hands and weights are original. The mahogany veneer is in need of repair at several points along the outer band, otherwise the veneer is good. Ht 29.25" $200--$250
