It has 3 weights, one for the small music box, which plays Swedish Rhapsody. The case is carved poplar, with original two-tone paint job in light and dark brown; some nicks and scrapes, also wear to rear cover from hanging clock on nail. It has been recently serviced, and although we cannot guarantee it, seems to be running & cucking. Measured from bird to pendulum tip; ht 16" $20--$40

002.  C.1909, Seth Thomas ESSEX, Inlaid mahogany cased shelf clock in very good original condition with nice porcelain dial and retaining original hands, pendulum, key and case hardware.

003.  C.1915, Sessions, Seven Inch Drop, in oak and in good original condition. There are some minor stains on the original paper dial, and the label is absent, however the clock is complete and in running order. Movement is signed: Sessions Clock Co, Forestville, Conn. The pendulum is old and looks fine, but may [?] not have come with this model. Ht 19" $175--$225

004.  C.1886, Jerome & Co., {New Haven}, Model No. 251, Sharp Gothic shelf clock, 30 hour time and strike in fair to good original condition. This clock was dropped at some time and glued back together a little crooked, and finials replaced improperly; right capital is missing bottom finial {left one is there for a sample}. There is a chunk of veneer missing on bottom right of base molding, and a gouge in top. Rear label is torn and dirty, but legible. Movement is sound and complete, original dial is good and retains a great original tablet of a butterfly. Potential. Ht 17¾" $125--$175

Ht 9¾" $275--$375

006.  C.1869, Seth Thomas, Thomaston, "Round Band" shelf clock in very good condition, with original dog tablet. The case was refinished with rubbed shellac maybe 50 years ago and has a great look; dial repainted at the same time. Interestingly the front veneer is rosewood, and the sides are beech, and would have been grained originally {looks fine as is} The 30 hour movement is an early round job, signed Seth Thomas, Plymouth. Dog lovers are sure to like this one. Ht 16½" $175--$275

007.  C.1880, Seth Thomas COTTAGE, 8-Day, Time, Strike & Alarm in very good condition. The dial has been professionally repainted on the original pan, which, interestingly, bears a German customs seal for "Silesia-W, Lipine". Also of note is the old tablet of a German castle, chalet and church {with some flakes in the paint}. There is a small veneer chip on the door, top right, but the rosewood is otherwise in very nice condition and with original finish. Movement recently cleaned and in good running order. Height 14¼" $250--$350

008.  C.1845, Sperry & Shaw, New York 30-hour, 2-wt, in 4-column New York Style case. This case is in very nice condition.

The dial has been professionally repainted {great job}; mirror original. The label even mentions them selling looking glasses. There is some veneer damage on the base and along the right side of the top, but still a nice example. Height 26" $250--$350

009.  C.1908, Self Winding Clock Co., New York, Copper cased electric pendulum clock. The copper case is nicely polished and the silvered dial is in excellent condition. These originally ran off a large 1.5v dry cell, now has a plastic holder for a "D" cell. The dial is marked "The Associated Press" {original}. Another of several clocks acquired from Joe Fanelli before he moved to Florida. Height 16" $150--$250

010.  C.1935, International Time Recorder, timepiece regulator. This clock has a substantial double wind spring movement, which runs for a couple of weeks; this is a bit overpowered as it is the same movement used in their time punch clocks where the movement also had to advance the time wheels in the base. The oak case is in good condition except for the lower molding which has had the corners cut off. The signed dial shows some discoloring. With an inside label showing "Chicago Office, Madison & Market Streets" Height 26" $175--$275

011.  C.1875, Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Conn. "Kitchen" 30-hour with alarm bevel case clock. The dial has been repainted and the tablet is new. The veneer is very crisp and well patterned with only a minor repair on the lower corner. The hands are mismatched. The label is dark but readable. Ht 15¾" $125--$175

The rosewood veneer is in very nice condition with only a couple of chips on the outer molding; the case professionally refinished. The black background on the tablet has been restored; minor touch up to flower. The dial shows a little fading. An attractive clock. Ht 19" $125--$175

014.  C.1845, Chauncey Jerome, Bristol, Conn. 8-day Ogee shelf clock. You usually see 30-hour clocks that were made by Jerome while he was in Bristol but not many 8-day. This movement is one of the variations on the 30-hr tombstone movement, where he added an extra set of wheels to make it an 8-day. Here they have extended the plates and riveted a cross piece {similar to strap construction}. The signed dial sadly has some new stretchers glued on and some extra screw holes used at various times to mount the dial. The frosted glass has some loss on the border. The veneer is in good condition with only a couple of chips on the corners. An uncommon clock. Ht 29" $250--$350

014a.  C.1900, New Haven Clock Co., LESLIE, miniature enameled iron mantel clock. This is a super little clock with original faux marble finish on the clock {green with white veins].

The signed wooden dial is good and hands are original. The original tablet is flaking, around 15% loss. The label is dark but very readable. The clock has the fancy stamped plates movement, often called a lyre movement. A good J. C. Brown clock. Height 29" $250--$350

016.  C.1890, Seth Thomas, No. 4 Time only tower clock movement, as-found, less verge and crutch assembly and suspension system, very dirty. Although it is not impossible to restore the missing items, we would imagine this is a "parts" clock. It stood near Mr. Coopermans furnace for over 30 years and was filled with grime and spider webs; tip of winding arbor is bent. Ht of frame = 17", ht to universal yoke = 22". A complete, but dirty movement would be worth around $2000, so we would imagine this portion to be worth $400--$600

017.  C.1850, Chauncey Jerome, New Haven, 10" striking lever wall clock in a rosewood octagon case with some restoration and some chips in the veneer. The original 8" dial has been in-painted and touched up; case retains original dark green rear label {with some tears and holes, but legible}. Using 30 hour upside down movement with seconds bit and regulation at 6 o'clock. Movement is gummy and not running; note wire at 5 for bringing strike into sync. Ht 10¼" $175--$225

018.  C.1900, French, for E. Fay & Co., New Orleans {on dial}, gold patinated spelter figural clock. A mother sits with feet outstretched, a child with arms around her neck. The case itself is white alabaster, and with some repairs and edge chips, the 4 brass feet are new {for a bracket clock}. The 8-day bell strike movement retains original porcelain dial in good condition, with dealer signature and original hands. An attractive French clock that would make a good decorator for summer house or guest room. Ht 10" $250--$300

019.  C.1930, Barometer mantel or desk piece. This small barometer is housed in a nice oak case with copper inlay with black accents, in Art Nouveau style. The dial is clean with original hands, and signed "S-M, London". Minor nicks but overall a very attractive piece, and seems to work fine. Height 10" $75--$125

020.  C.1895, French, for J. E. Caldwell, Philadelphia, Marble & Bronze mantel clock in excellent restored condition. The quality of the bronze friezes is outstanding, depicting classic Greek figures. The well made round movement with open escapement on the dial, and with original hands.

022.  C.1909, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "Florence", inlaid mahogany case in very good restored condition, nicely refinished. The brass work has been polished and movement cleaned {No. 48R, round movement}. The porcelain dial has a tiny chip on the outer edge at the 7 o'clock position, but is otherwise fine.

024.  C.1901, Ansonia Clock Co., "Kensington" mantel clock in Colonial Brass Finish. The case is in overall nice condition with minor tarnish on the top. The dial shows some wear to numerals near the winding holes, but overall the Nouveau numerals are in great shape {they are very often rubbed off on these models}. The hands are original, movement clean and in good running order. Height 12½" $175--$275

025.  C.1904, Ansonia "Plato" digital clock. This is one of 4 basic models using "turning leaf" dial arrangement patented by Eugene L. Fitch, New York, in 1902. Production in the 1904-06 period totaled 40,000 units. This very clock is #119 in the Cooperman inventory and is pictured in Palmer's Treasury of American Clocks, page 175. All 4 panes of beveled glass are original & good; ticks & stops. Ht 6" $300--$400

026.  C.1965, Horolovar Co., "Ignatz" flying pendulum clock. These clocks were copied after the originals made by the New Haven Clock Co. (an original is here in the auction). Charles Terwilliger had these re-produced in the 1960's in Germany and they have become very collectable. Is quite dusty and runs sluggishly. Height 10" $150--$250

027.  C.1845, Forestville Manufacturing Co, 8-day Ogee. This clock is in very nice condition with only a little veneer repair on the base. The dial is properly marked along with the movement. The label is beautiful and bright {does have a vertical split where the case back has dried out}. The hands and pendulum are original. There is a little paint loss around the winding holes. At some point someone has added a very nice molded base which is easily removed. The upper glass is original while the mirror is a proper old replacement with oxidized silvering. Height 32½" $250--$350

028.  C.1870, Waterbury Clock Co., 8-day Ogee Shelf Clock. Good case in unrestored condition. There are a couple of veneer chips near the door knob and a some bubbling at the top and on the door. The lower tablet is not original but looks to be applied to the original glass. The dial is flaking in spots. Label is poor with major holes, but legible. The veneer is especially attractive and clock will restore nicely; hands are replaced. Height 29" $150--$200

029.  C.1900, German, 30 Hour Globe clock, as-found. This clock suffers from some neglect; it has been dropped and the globe has settled down on the brass support; bottom support bushing for the vertical driveshaft is missing, and the side straps that hold the movement into the case have broken away. Still, what is there is original, the globe is legible {with wear}, and the clock runs OK. In nice condition, this would bring around $900. Ht 15" $200--$300

030.  C.1830, Chauncey Boardman, 30-hour Groaner type half-column and splat shelf clock. The stencils on the columns appear original {& superb} while the splat stencil has been enhanced.

033.  C.1890, Ansonia Clock Co., "Small Sharp Gothic" 30-hour time and alarm steeple clock, in very good original condition. The Rosewood veneered case has some small chips on the front moldings. The case has a label on the back. The original tablet is very nice. Height 15¾" $125--$175

033a.  C.1900, French, Carved Walnut cartel clock in good original condition. Has 12 porcelain signet numerals in good condition. The well made French movement strikes the hours and halves on a gong. Two bottom finials are packed inside case; two top ones are missing {looks OK without them, but a common size to buy for $2 each}. Ht 28" $350--$450

033b.  C.1890, German, Gustav Becker, 2-Weight regulator in a walnut "double door" case in alt Deutsch style. Typical of this model, the front is profusely decorated with pressed brass trim. Although the clock has an engraved dial center and pendulum, the embossed Becker weights are for a Nouveau model made a few years later. The bottom bracket has a large piece of veneer missing right at the top edge where it shows; stabilizer screws are missing. Still, from a distance, the clock has a good Victorian look and the well made movement is serial #762363. Ht 50" $750--$1,000

033c.  C.1998, Dutch Staartklok, or commonly called a 'tail' clock or even 'hood' clock in America. The Dutch are very proud of their heritage, and as the originals of these got scarce in the 1990s they began to produce them again, in the original size with full length meter pendulum, the movements copies in every respect of the originals. This particular clock even has a rolling moon and a weight alarm that works. This is a 30 hour clock like the originals. The bottom "tail" comes off for pendulum adjustment and is held on by 2 tabs. These sell in Holland for around $600 today, and I would imagine it should be around the same here. Note one angel's wing is missing. Ht 58" $400--$600

034.  C.1848, Terry & Andrews, Bristol, Conn. 8-day fusee steeple clock. This clock has a movement signed "C. Boardman, patented 1847".

The lower glass of Ballston Springs is flaking and someone rubbed off an area to expose the pendulum. The dial has a little paint loss and signs of wear on the numbers. Height 19" $500--$600

035.  C.1858, Seth Thomas, Plymouth Hollow, Conn, 30-hour Weight Driven Steeple shelf clock, in good original condition, except for the finials, which were properly turned c.1950. This was certainly an interesting variation on the steeple design. The veneer is in excellent condition with only a small repair on the peak. The glasses are original {super tablet} also original dial with minor touch up. A similar example can be found in Distin & Bishop's The American Clock, page 154 {mis-dated 1825}. Retains original spring driven alarm; the inside label is about half missing; a very uncommon clock. Height 29" $300--$600

036.  C.1832, Henry Terry, Plymouth, Conn. 30-hour wooden works half-column and mirrored splat shelf clock, in good, as-found condition. The columns retain most of their original stenciling. The dial has some paint loss near the center. The lower glass is now clear; it may originally have been a mirror or a painted tablet. The mirrors in the splat are flaking a little. The metal dust cover on the back is missing. You don't see Henry Terry clocks very often, and this one is worthy of a little restoration. Height 27¾" $150--$250

037.  C.1890, French, Henri Julien, Paris. Although this is a classic black marble tambour, this is about as good as it gets. The well made case is fluted on the sides and with incised pattern on the front. The case has been nicely polished. The well made movement is signed as in the headline, and with open escapement and original gilt hands. An excellent example. Ht 13" $250--$350

038.  C.1860, French, Morbier 2-Wt Prayer repeat wall clock, in generally good original condition. The robust movement strikes the hours and then repeats them again at 2 minutes past, allowing time for a silent prayer. The meter pendulum retains original lyre, decorated with fired white porcelain {some chips} and the bob has a piece of pressed brass attached to its' center. Ticks and strikes loudly on a bell at top. Note minute hand has incorrect retainer. The dial surround surmounted by a large spray of Aurora, the sun goddess. The dial with some minor chips around winding holes; signed Laveissiere, a' St. Laurent. Height 57" $500--$700

039.  C.1900, Nelson H. Brown, Boston, Office regulator in oak. This is an interesting clock. The movement, pendulum, hands and latches are straight Chelsea issue. The movement, serial number 3281, has been stamped prominently "N.H.BROWN". Brown, whose premises were at 90 Franklin St., Boston, was well known as a merchandiser of foreign movements in his own cabinets, and this appears to be his version of a weight driven office clock. Inside is a cancelled check to Foster Campos in the amount of $250, apparently covering the cost of a weight {Howard 70 type}, and refinishing the dial and case. The tablet has been redone on old glass more recently. Runs briskly and keeps time. Ht 34" $750--$850

040.  C.1900, French, Lardot & Boyon, Paris, a large crystal regulator, green onyx and brass with cloisonné enamel, surmounted by a large ormolu lion, as-found. This clock has suffered some damage to the top slab of onyx {corner chip, and a poor effort to repair it}. Still you could obtain onyx and cut a replacement. Last, the pendulum is a simulated mercury unit from an American clock, and although it is cosmetically fine, should be replaced as well. The well made gong striking movement bears the signature as above, and with fancy porcelain dial and detailed hands. This would be a $1200 clock if perfect. Ht 18½" $600--$800

041.  C.1906, German, Kienzle, 400 Day "Louvre" model clock in excellent condition with good dome. See plate #1183, serial #122763. Note this is a desirable front wind model. The porcelain dial with polychrome wreath decorations and original hands.

042.  C.1925, Waterbury "12 Inch Lever" in oak and in outstanding original condition with label on rear {part of label missing}. This is a segmented octagonal case, glued up and turned on a large lathe, and with a black accent ring where the cut changes direction. If you only wanted one lever wall clock, this would be the one. Ht 14½" $300--$400

043.  C.1830, Spencer, Hotchkiss & Co., Salem Bridge, Conn, 8-day triple-decker Salem Bridge shelf clock. This clock needs some restoration work. Someone has painted over the gold leaf on the columns with gold paint and repainted the black. The lower glass is old but probably a repaint. The topside returns are missing and the upper backboard is now plywood. The dial is exceptionally clean. The clock originally had feet. This very clock and movement are pictured in Treasury of American Clocks, pg. 87. With a Victorian repair label from Portland, Me; an uncommon clock that can be improved with some patience and work.

048.  C.1865, E. Ingraham & Co., 30-hour "Grecian" Shelf clock. This clock is smaller than the standard model and measures only 13½". The Rosewood veneered case is in excellent condition, however has been refinished, and the rosettes have some loss of color. The dial and hands are original. A very clean green colored label. This model can be as high as 18½". Height 13½" $300--$500

050.  C.1830, Silas Hoadley, Plymouth, Conn. 30-hour wood movement miniature alarm "time-piece" {Hoadley's designation}, in fair restored condition. The stenciled splat and quarter columns have been poorly painted with a brush and need proper restoration via stenciling {send to Karen Larson}. The upper glass has a crack and the mirror is a replacement. The label is very faded but readable and the dial is in nice condition. There are holes in the capitals, which would indicate some sort of finials are missing. See also lots 255, 255a, 255b. Ht 25" $750--$1,000

051.  C.1828, Silas Hoadley, Plymouth, Conn, 30-hour pillar and scroll shelf clock. The name was misspelled "Hoadly" on the label. The middle finial column is broken but easily repaired. One of the ears has been broken and repaired. Two corner chimneys show signs of damage and repair. The upper glass is older than the clock, freshly puttied in place {plenty wavy}. The lower tablet is a piece of sheet zinc recently painted with a modern design and hole cut in the center for a piece of glass. Someone put a knob on the door. Despite these shortcomings, the dial is extra nice and the hands are original as are the top and feet. Included is a letter from Geo. Ford {a Hoadley relative} to Mr. Cooperman stating that the tin tablet is original {doubtful}. The right workman could make this into a wonderful clock. Ht 29" $1,000--$1,500

051a.  C.1875, French, Morbier, 2-Weight Prayer repeat with unusual passing strike on the half hour. Note the half hour pin is hanging up and the clock wants to stop just before releasing the hammer on the halves. This clock has a new wall hanging bracket and a proper replacement porcelain dial from Paris. The dial surround and pendulum are magnificent on this clock, with large floral sprays and retain their original bright yellow gilding. A little work +cleaning will get this going. Ht 53" $375--$475

052.  C.1835, 30-hour wood movement double decker shelf clock, attributed to John Wheeler, Nassau Village, NY. Mr. Wheeler's name appears on the tablet, which has a little flaking. The house pictured could be Mr. Wheeler's. The case is not constructed in the way most Connecticut shelf clocks were made. The clock has curly maple columns. There is one small repair to the veneer on the base. No evidence there ever was a label; a very nice and unusual clock. Ht 25" $300--$500

053.  C.1845, Wm. Bradshaw, New York, 30-hour weight brass New York style case shelf clock. This clock is veneered in mahogany and rosewood with no visible damage; was refinished long ago to a dark maple color. The wood dial is a little dark, but could be cleaned.

055b.  C.1865, Austrian, 3-Weight Grand Sonnerie in a light walnut case with carved acanthus swag trim. This clock has had a hard life; a spike has poked through the rear of the case at the hanger, case stabilizer screws are missing and the impulse plate has been moved down to compensate for a short suspension spring. Someone had it on a rear leaning wall so they even ground off part of the rating nut that was scraping the case and then shimmed the mounting plate out from the back [it is original]. Finally, the center dial grommet is missing. But basically the clock is a well made one, with fine Viennese movement and delicate hands. Has key lock door with key, less grommet. The right restorer can improve this to a $3000 clock. Ht 54" $1,250--$1,750

055c.  C.1890, French, Japy Freres, 3-Piece Mantel set in the style of Louis XVI. This spelter set has been restored via spray paint, however, the movement was well cleaned and runs and strikes on its gong. Movement retains matched serial number pendulum. All of the panels/urns on this set are original and painted by hand and are of nice quality, especially the floral wreath around the dial center. It looks the part of an expensive set. Ht 13" $350--$450

056.  C.1875, Ithaca No. 8, Shelf Library, as-found, less 2 top trim pieces {simple enough to make}, in good condition with full instruction label intact. Both dials are original and bright; the roller covers darkened with age, but intact. The walnut case was attractively refinished some time ago, and with nice patina. This model with 8-day time and strike movement, and Ithaca patent perpetual calendar mechanism. If complete, we would have expected this clock to bring $800. Ht 25" $450--$650

057.  C.1974, A 20^th Century reproduction of a 17^th Century Noon Day cannon; with a plaque by the maker, "George Dorne's, No 12" [of 50]. This is a well made example, designed for use at 40º 42', and with adjustable arms to compensate for the time of year. The cannon and all hardware have been machine from rolled brass, degree indications engraved into the side supports and of course the time dial incised into the marble base. The base supported on 3 turned brass bun feet. Bore of cannon is approx 3/8 inch and the diameter of the marble is 10". $300--$400

058.  C.1832, C. & L. C. Ives, Triple Deck shelf clock with strap brass, roller pinion movement. This movement is pictured in Roberts' book on Ives, page 110, having plates tapered at top and with large embossed gear wheels with round cut outs. This case has 3 sets of polished mahogany columns where one would expect gilt/grained columns; these have been there a good hundred years, but we are unable to assert they are original to the case. In any case they are well proportioned and look fine. Label with some holes, is fully legible; dial good with some flakes. Lower tablet is new. Weights are iron replacements, proper for narrow weight channel. Generally very good restored condition. Ht 36" $500--$750

059.  C.1910, American Gambling clock. This is a nice novelty item. A slot in the top accepts a US nickel. The minimum payout is one cent or one token, some of which are marked "worth 5 cents in trade". Every eighth payout is two tokens/cents. Only a tiny fragment of the original label remains on the rear. The 8-day movement has a pin lever escapement. This Cooperman clock has not run in years and we applied a little oil to verify operation, but it will need cleaning for prolonged use. Still retains original coin collecting cup. Ht 11" $300--$400

060.  C.1903, Year Clock Co., New York, Year running clock in skeletonized form with dome. This company is not to be confused with the earlier Year Clock Co, operated by J. R. Mills in conjunction with A. D. Crane, who designed a long running clock with torsion pendulum. This clock, like cased models by the same company that we have sold in earlier auctions, uses an exposed lever escapement on the front plate, identical to that designed by Boston Clock Co, in Chelsea, Mass. The whole mounted to a walnut veneered base with rectangular dome, and with original gear reduction crank. Ht, less dome 13½", with dome 15" $700--$900

061.  C.1925, Seth Thomas, Outside Bell, Ships bell, as-found. This clock lost its original backboard, and has been screwed to a round piece of mahogany for easy wall hanging. The silvered dial is in good condition and the case has been attractively polished and lacquered. Runs and strikes. Like other ships strikers in this series, this model must be wound daily. Ht 10½" $250--$350

062.  C.1893, Ansonia, Jumper No. 1, as-found, with replacement doll. The clock, stand and dial are original and excellent and if you have a better doll you can really improve this clock. Ht 15" $700--$900

063.  C.1890, Bensels, New York, Acme Night Alarm timepiece. Note this clock is pictured in Treasury of American Clocks, page 266, and is identified as Gensels. On the interior label the first letter of the name is obliterated, and Palmer apparently guessed at the "G". However on the underside of the clock with patent date of 1885 is the name clearly spelled with a "B". Although the little Cresolene lantern has survived the last 30 years, the small chimney has been lost {a simple tube of glass}. Note that the inside paint on the globe has been touched up and part of the chapter ring is missing. The indicator hand is stationary, and the platform on which the globe and lantern rest rotates once each 12 hours. Ht 9" $250--$350

064.  C.1887, Self Winding Clock Co., New York, battery wound wall "Regulator No. 6" in ash. This clock is missing its bottom 5" {2 corbels, a back splat and an angle splat with carving}, but images of this are available in Ly's American Clocks #2 {fig 759} This clock is otherwise like new. Mr. Cooperman ran this clock until his death, and kept a note of battery replacements in the bottom of the case. Other self winding literature, plus a Warners Patent Electric guage with dial indications of "below, normal above", and also Mfg By "Standard Electric Time Co.", are inside the case. Ht 45" $450--$650

064a.  C.1887, Self Winding Clock Co., New York, battery wound wall "Regulator No. 8" in oak. This clock has a nicely refinished golden oak case. The movement is dirty; it is an early Type A, as pictured in Ly's American Clocks #2 {fig 656}; the clock itself may be viewed as figure 753. The movement is complete, but we have no idea if the motor is operational; interestingly, it is stamped BOTH Seth Thomas and Self Winding Clock Co. The original dial is flaking badly; hanger on rear is rusty and may need replacing. Lots of potential here for the battery wind crowd. Ht 42" $300--$400

064b.  C.1948, English, Gent & Co., Ltd, Leicester, PUL-SYN-ETIC master clock. This is a DC power clock of the highest quality. The seconds beating invar pendulum pulls a trailing link that rotates a large gear with 15 teeth; that gear has a notch the allows a contact once every 30 seconds, actuating a solenoid that impulses the pendulum and also advances the minute hand a half minute. Gent were highly respected for the reliability of these timepieces and this one bears a label showing it was the property of Telephone Rentals. Everything is mechanically complete, and seems to actuate on 3v. We suggest you do research for the proper voltage. Ht 52½" $400--$600

065.  C.1900, English, Single Fusee Dial clock in good original condition, LESS pendulum. These pendulums are available from Timesavers for around $50 {may need adjustment at slot for crutch pin}. The painted dial is unsigned, still bright and with original moon hands. Mahogany bezel has a crack in it by the latch. Dial =12", case = 15" $175--$275

066.  C.1904, Tiffany Never Wind Clock Corp., Buffalo, NY, 'NEVER WIND' model #11 under glass dome {replacement dome}.

068.  C.1890, Waterbury, Calendar No. 44 in walnut, with restorations. The case has been refinished and the glass tablet is a close rendition of the original. See this clock with same tablet in Miller's Survey of American Calendar Clocks, page 95, figure 284. The time dial has abrasion along the left side and is a candidate for replacement. The calendar dial and rollers are very nice. Some patient work will improve this hard to find clock. Best part is the two Fabulous rear labels. Ht 24" $500--$750

069.  C.1846, Chauncey Jerome, New Haven, 8-day Ogee timepiece shelf clock. This a rare clock housing an 8-day weight drive time only movement. The movement is marked Chauncey Jerome, Bristol and the dial New Haven. All paint is original on wooden dial; someone has pierced the dial with 2 wood screws to hold it in place [done long ago]. The case has no label, only blank paper pasted in the case. The case has had some veneer repair on the along the outer edge. The case has a nice cut and frosted glass that is old. This very clock is pictured in Distin & Bishop, page 148, fig 314. Height 25½" $300--$400

070.  C.1867, Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Conn, Column and Cornice Shelf Clock with restoration. This is a rosewood model, with some veneer repairs, and has been attractively refinished. The original faux shell columns show some wear, and there are some veneer chips on the base. The two beautiful tablets have been professionally restored {+ fresh black on rear}. The cornice has had some veneer replaced on both the ogive and the straights. Main detraction is a dial that has been touched up with a black brush too wide. Has a very clean label, including full operating instructions, plus an attest that it was bought new in January 1867. Height 32½" $275--$375

071.  C.1905, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "14 Inch Lobby", in generally good condition, running but needing some case restoration. The 30-day movement is housed in an attractive mahogany case that has been professionally refinished. This is an earlier "Lobby" model that had a decorative splat extending across the bottom at a 45º angle {now missing}; may be restored with a splat or by adding decorative trim and spindles as illustrated in Ly's Seth Thomas book [1996, fig 382]. The original dial pan has been professionally repainted and the hands are original; pendulum is incorrect but adequate. Worth $1000 if original. Height 28½" $500--$700

072.  C.1900, French carriage clock, unusual size. This large carriage clock is constructed more like a crystal regulator than a travel clock. The case is in need of a cleaning and polishing, and the rear beveled glass has two corner chips {new pane available from Carter's Clock Glass}. The porcelain dial is good {minor abrasion at winding hole}, and with hands that do not match. The hand painted porcelain insert of a Victorian lady is perfect. The clock has a French 8-day lever time/strike movement, with a modern Swiss replacement platform, mounted on the rear plate. Another minute hand and a rear glass will make this a nice clock. Height 10½" $200--$300

073.  C.1891, E. N. Welch Mfg Co., "Little Grip", in excellent condition, except for a crack in the original crystal. This novelty clock shows signs of good care with bronze finish intact. Also retains original dial with Welch signature intact, PLUS it runs well besides. Suitcase hinges open for service to movement. For literature, see Ly's book titled Welch Clocks, page 251, and refer to our April 2001 auction, lot 620 with replaced handle brought $350. Width = 3", ht 2½" $400--$500

074.  C.1900, French Calendar Clock, 8-day. This is an interesting clock that we have not seen before, a simple calendar around the chapter ring, day dial lower left and month dial lower right. The rectangular plate movement raises a bar once a day to advance the date and day. The month must be advanced by hand, and of course short months must be corrected by hand. Runs but calendar needs adjustment. Nice original dial is gold paint stenciled on black wooden dial plate. Base molding has been broken and glued. Neat item. Ht 12" $300--$500

075.  C.1848, Sperry & Shaw, New York, 30-hour fusee steeple. This is a very interesting variation on the steeple design. The 4 steeples are octagonal in shape. The clock retains its original glasses, dial and hands. The veneer is nearly perfect with only a slight bubbling on the lower beveled piece. The only unfortunate problem is that someone removed the alarm parts from the movement; small part of label torn away, Still, a very unusual clock, worthy of your attention. Height 21" $400--$600

076.  C.1900, French, Mini Tall Case in a Blue Delft case with typical Dutch windmill scenes. This is a well made little clock, with a good time only pendulum movement and a porcelain dial with blue numerals and finely detailed hands. The case has a rounded bombay look. Ht 15½" $600--$800

077.  C.1900, French, Mini Tall Case in a Blue Delft case with typical Dutch windmill scenes.

The case is traditional in style with hood, trunk and plinth; the case signed on the rear: "Delft" Very minor hairlines radiate out from the center of the dial and are nearly invisible. Movement # 13559 with matching pendulum. Ht 13¾" $700--$900

078.  C.1850, Chauncey Boardman, Bristol, Conn. 30-hour fusee steeple clock. Very nice Rosewood veneered case with some repairs along the base and the right front molding. Someone has inpainted the dial center and repainted the numbers on the dial {not done professionally}. The clock has a beautiful tablet old tablet, from another steeple and is slightly too small for this door. The movement is signed with Boardman stamp and Patented January, 1847. Still above average for what turns up today. Height 19¾" $350--$450

079.  C.1845, Chauncey Jerome, New Haven, Conn, 8-day fusee Beehive shelf clock. The mahogany-veneered case has had a little veneer repair along the base and the lower right molding, and has been professionally refinished. The original painted dial has some loss around the winding holes and mounting screw area, but is overall excellent. The lower glass is now an old mirror, but probably had a tablet originally. The movement is complete with original Geneva winding stops. Retains a great blue label; overall very good. Note Cooperman's inside label incorrectly identifies this as 30 hour. Ht 19" $500--$700

080.  C.1852, Terry, Downs, Burwell & Co., Bristol, Conn. 8-day Lever miniature iron case shelf clock. This cute little clock retains much of its original paint and mother-of-pearl inlay. The painted dial has some loss around the outer edge and around the winding holes. The movement, invented by Ralph Terry, is marked, T.D.B. & Co., and had a large balance/ pin lever similar to Pomeroy. Bezel glass is original along with the hands. See similar clock by the same firm, in April 2001 catalog, lot 583 which sold for $400. Ht 9½" $250--$350

081.  C.1880, Ansonia Clock Co., 9 Corlandt St, New York, 30 hour OG in very good restored condition. Retains a clean New York label, fully legible. Hands appear to be replacements, but dial is original. The tablet is old, but 80% restored; only the floral part in center is original….new stenciling is well done. Veneer is xlnt; original finish has been lightly varnished over. Ht 25" $125--$175

082.  C.1875, Waterbury Clock Co., COURIER SPRING one day mini OG in rosewood with gilt molding. The gilding is still intact, though with some dirt and flyspecks, and the original floral tablet is nice. Clock retains original dial, label, hands, pendulum and alarm and is in very good as-found condition. Ht 17½" $125--$175

083.  C.1885, Terry Clock co., Pittsfield, Mass, HIGHLAND model 8-day gingerbread with calendar, nicely restored. The walnut case has been nicely refinished and the dial re-papered, mov't clean. A nice example from a company with limited production. Ht 23" $200--$250

084.  C.1875, Welch, Spring & Co., Italian No. 3 {short} shelf calendar in rosewood with wood columns. This clock is generally fair to good condition, the top of the case with a split, left column broken and nailed and veneer loss along the bottom filled in with putty and colored with shoe-polish. Still the dials are original and the labels are Fantastic, and this could be a place holder until you acquire a nicer one. This model is shown in Millers, figure 190; see also lot 284 for a similar example. Ht 18" $500--$800

085.  C.1880, E. Ingraham & Co, 8-Day Doric in very good restored condition. The rosewood case has been professionally refinished. The fruit basket tablet is super and the columns retain their original gilding, with some loss. The label is missing around 20% on the right side but is still legible. Original dial, hands and alarm intact as well. A very good looking clock. Ht 16" $175--$225

086.  C.1880, New Haven DANUBE, walnut parlor clock in restored condition. Actually if someone hadn't replaced the bell with a gong from a black mantel clock, we would have entered this in Sunday's lots. It retains original dial in very good condition, original barrel pendulum and etched tablet. Even a rear label that is very dark but you can read it with strong light. An attractive clock; ht 24" $150--$200

087.  C.1885, Seth Thomas, Parlor Calendar #3 in good condition, with restorations. The dials have been repainted a bit brightly and with logo too small. The Waterbury hands are incorrect {proper spade hands are available}. Minor nicks and scrapes to case. Original finish is dark. Best parts are the two great labels, inside "no oil" and instructions on inside of door. See Millers calendar book, figure #31. Ht 27" $500--$700

088.  C.1885, E. Ingraham & Co., Ionic wall clock in restored condition. The case has been refinished and all of the graining is now absent. It is a maple color. The dial center only was inpainted and the entire dial covered with clear finish which is cracking. On the plus side, the clock retains a very good label and a super floral tablet with swirl center. Ht 22" $175--$275

089.  C.1890, French, Night Light clock in very good condition. The cast base and movement surround feature scrolls and fleur-de-lis; note you gently separate the pendulum movement from the base to wind it {small key is still there}. The globe is marked France, but appears to be more recent than the clock….it fits fine and is appropriate for the clock. Globe rotates once in twelve hours and a pointer indicates the time; clean and running briskly. Ht 7¾" $300--$500

090.  C.1850, Pond & Barnes, 71-73 Hanover St, Boston, 30 hour steeple in excellent condition. The only thing that keeps this from being outstanding is the pair of modern stamped hands. Retains a good Fenn tablet of two birds. The case with original finish and two great cone finials that have never been broken. Great Boston label. Ht 19" $200--$300

091.  C.1890, Seth Thomas, Hanging Gingerbread clock in excellent+ condition. The walnut case and tablet are near perfect with lovely patina on old finish; retains original thermometer at top and spirit level at bottom The bright white dial is original, and with nickel bezel, pendulum leader and cast pendulum bob. 8-day time strike and alarm movements are xlnt. Good label in bottom of case. Just about as good as it gets for this style clock; ht 27½" $400--$600

092.  C.1851, E. O. Goodwin, Small iron front with original gold painted decorations intact. Interestingly, you can just make out under his name the town of Forest----, which we assume to be Forestville, while directories list him in Bristol, until he went to work as a travelling agent for Forestville Mfg. This is an unusually small iron case to carry a full size 8-day movement. The dial with paint loss along the left margin and around the center. Ht 16" $200--$400

093.  C.1910, German, Junghans, "R-A" Wall Regulator, 8-Day, Gong strike. Other than the missing top center trim, this clock is in very good original condition with original top, smooth walnut finish, good paper dial and R-A pendulum. Either a finial or cast animal in center will complete this nice clock. One of the few German clocks in the Cooperman collection. Ht 27" $175--$275

094.  C.1850, 8-day fusee gallery timepiece, attributed to Marine Mfg Co, Hamden, Conn. This detached fusee lever movement is housed in a very nice mahogany case. The dial plate now has a paper dial glued on and someone has painted on: "C. Kirk's Pat." There is a G. Hills, Plainville, Conn. wall clock (item 238) in this sale that has the same movement. Both of these movements are unusual and made to robust standards. The hands are original, as is the lock on the bezel. Except for the questionable dial, a well made and interesting clock. Ht 17" $400--$600

095.  C.1878, Welch, Spring & Co., Round Head Regulator No. 2 {variant}. The bezel and door lost their veneer and it was replaced with plastic contact paper with a walnut design, and it is lighter than the rosewood on the rest of the case, which was stripped to try to make it the same color as the contact paper. Both dials are in nice condition. The hands are original. Both the Welch and the B. B. Lewis labels are bright and legible. The oddity here is the 10" calendar dial, which is not mentioned in literature, but is definitely original to this case; the case is also 1½" longer than a regular #2. Retains original round iron weights. Cooperman address inside also. Height 35½" $700--$900

096.  C.1910, Seth Thomas, Regulator No. 2 in oak and in generally good condition. There is a little loss of oak on the very bottom from the clock standing in a corner, and the case has been stripped and finished to a golden color. The original dial is excellent and clock retains original hands, weight, pendulum and case hardware. Fragments of the original label are in the case bottom. A decent example for the intermediate collector; ht 36" $1,100--$1,400

097.  C.1890, French, Carved Oak cartel clock in original condition. The round oak dial plate has individual bronze numerals, all intact. The well made square French movement strikes the hours and halves on a gong, however the minute hand got caught on something and the tip of the minute shaft has broken off; the hand is just setting there for the photo. The case is deeply carved, a large depiction of the North Wind at the top and full size fruit at the bottom, and retains its original dark oak stain finish. A large & impressive clock; worth attending to the movement. Height 28" $400--$500

098.  C.1910, English, G.P.O. (General Post Office) 8-day fusee, mahogany gallery clock. This very large gallery clock is well made with a dovetailed case and a heavy brass bezel with beveled glass. The 17" dial has some damage and someone tried to enhance some of the numbers with black paint. The clock has a large and heavy plated fusee movement, with original chain intact. The pendulum is homemade, and the clock deserves one of those after-market fusee pendulums that cost around $45 {+fitting expense}. A minor note is that the bezel dowels have been glued in and will need to be drilled out and replaced with a turned taper pin with knob. Would be $1200 if original. Height 23" $600--$800

099.  C.1900, French, Aneroid Wall Barometer, in excellent original condition. The Centigrade thermometer at top has a white porcelain scale, from -20 to 40º. The barometer has a printed paper scale that is still bright with no stains, and seems to be indicating properly. There are some minor nicks in the carved case which have been stained in a walnut color, but it is overall xlnt; note 4 fluted columns at top would go well with a French 4 column box clock. Ht 27" $325--$425

100.  C.1900, French, Aneroid Wall Barometer, in excellent original condition. The Centigrade thermometer at top has a white porcelain scale, from -10 to +50º. The barometer has a printed paper scale that is still bright with no stains, and seems to be indicating properly. The carved case has graceful lines, with fluted columns flanking both the barometer and the thermometer, trimmed with scrolls and leaves and a central gallery, all with a walnut finish. Ht 27" $325--$425

101.  C.1890, Austrian, a well carved wall barometer, signed Carl Wokurka, Graz. The paper scale has an overpaste with metric divisions; scale with maker/retailer name as indicated. The case itself has remarkable detail, a resting eagle at top, mountain goat in the center, both the thermometer and barometer flanked by edelweiss {with couple of tips missing}, and with ferns and other plants filling in the background. This item has survived well, but is fragile, and will require special packing. Ht 22" $400--$600

102.  C.1900, French, Aneroid Wall Barometer, in a carved floral case , and in very good+ original condition. The Centigrade thermometer at top has a silvered scale, from -30 to +50º {a quality mercury thermometer}. The barometer also with original silvered scale, with metric graduations. Although this barometer does not seem to be active, the case itself is certainly the nicest we are selling tonight, with carved roses and pansies amongst a carved ribbon, bow at top, and with an acanthus spray at bottom. The only items that keep this form being excellent are some very minor floral tips broken away. Ht 30" $450--$650

103.  C.1985, Korean, Repro Howard #60. Vince Han of Illinois made a batch of these at his factory near Seoul. The pendulum is a good copy of the Howard 4-jar, complete with spotted glass tubes and with mercury. The Standard Time logo on the glass is done in 24K gold leaf, with black border. The weight driven movement is well made with cut pinions and maintaining power, and seems to run OK. Dial is silk screened on steel, and bears the name; E. Howard & Co., Boston. We sold an Original #60 in April 2001 for $38,000, so it would seem this is an inexpensive alternative. Ht 79" $2,500--$3,500

104.  C.1890, Large American wall regulator, with Swiss pinwheel movement in a walnut case. This clock is lacking both its' top and bottom trim pieces, however what is there is good & sound. The porcelain dial with some spider web cracks around 11. Has a meter length, 9-rod, grid pendulum that beats seconds and original hands [including seconds hand] are intact. Ht. 63" $2,000--$2,500

105.  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. Height 22½" $1,250--$1,500

106.  C.1905, German, Junghans, World time clock in the form of a windmill, each vane with a small time dial, each with a prominent location: Honolulu, San Francisco, London, Paris, Baltimore, Japan, Hong Kong, Bombay & Cairo. The Baltimore dial was originally New York, and the collector had the dial changed to reflect his home town {well done and not easily detected}. The zinc finish on the tower is discolored and the cello dial is dark and with tears along the left margin. In nice condition these can bring $1500, and our estimate reflects the modest restoration called for. Two minute hands are missing; otherwise complete and sound; running. Height 22" $700--$900

107.  C.1858, Swiss Pinwheel Regulator, 8-Day Center sweep. This clock was installed in New York's "Fifth Ave Hotel", built in 1856-58, and demolished in 1908. The clock's location in the lobby was known as "The Meeting Place". The consignor's father ran a construction company and removed the clock during demolition {names available on purchase}. This is custom unit, the movement is a standard Swiss vertical train pinwheel; dial custom made with cast brass spandrels and the hands similarly hand cut in the fanciest fashion. Mercury pendulum still complete with mercury {now in lexan bottle}. Note we can not ship mercury UPS. Mahogany box case has been painted; cast brass door has a pane of heavy beveled glass with minor corner chip. Ht 58" $1,500--$2,000

107a.  C.1825, English, 30-Hour Brass Dial, rolling moon grandfather clock. The oak case with a broken arch top with dentil molding under the arch, and with the long door bordered in mahogany. The interesting thing about the case is that it has a period bracket base that the plinth sets in {bottom 5" is this base}. The movement itself is by Benjamin Booth, Pontefract {in W. Yorkshire, about 35 miles above Sheffield}. The paint on circular moon disc is about half flaked and it will need professional attention; the rest of the dial is very good, with engraved and silvered chapter ring, cast spandrels, and with calendar dial above 6. Seat board has added blocks under it to adjust height. Total height 89" $1,500--$2,000

107b.  C.1924, Ansonia Clock Co., "Standing No. 9" tall clock, in overall very good original condition This is a spring driven clock with Westminster chimes striking on toned rods; movement is sound and rods original. The case retains it original finish, with soft crazing, but will rub out OK. There is a small age crack on the upper door. The base has some dings on the upper cross strip; the pendulum has some minor scratches. These small cosmetic items can be restored. The lower door has beveled glass, which is fine; dial is xlnt, and with selector lever for chime/silent. Tran Duy Ly valued this clock at $1,200 in 1995. Height 72" $800--$1,000

107c.  C.1910, German, Peerless, 8-Day Painted Dial mahogany grandfather clock, with refinished case. This is a large and imposing piece, note it is a full 8 feet high so will need a proper ceiling height. The rolling moon movement is very well made, typical of Peerless, and has two heavy brass sheathed weights. Note tip to finial needs gluing. The painted dial is in excellent condition, and with seconds and calendar indications. The case has been sprayed with high gloss Varathane, which could stand rubbing with fine steel wool and then waxing. Ht 96" $1,500--$2,000

107d.  Mixed lot: C.1890, Ansonia Standing Antique case, now with a German Westminster chime 3-weight pull up movement C.1920, with embossed weights and pendulum. Now this movement is about 2" deeper than the original so a cabinet maker very carefully added a 2" spacer to deepen the top half of the case [can be removed]. This clock came from a restaurant and the glass was brown, and the whole clock is covered with a fine layer of smoke/nicotine {it is OAK under all the dirt}. Will run and chime, but the movement is dirty and in need of service. Note original dial is intact. If all original, this would be worth $7500, so our estimate reflects condition. Ht 94" $2,750--$3,750

108.  C.1880, Waterbury Clock Co., 8 Inch Octagon Calendar. This is another clock that is the actual item pictured in reference material. See Miller's calendar clock book, figures 307 and 308. Except for the gash in the bezel {shows in the Miller photo as well}, this clock would be in excellent condition, with both rear labels legible {some loss to dust paper, but fortunately the labels are fine}. Double spring, 8-Day. The mahogany veneer is outstanding and with original finish. Ht 11" $500--$700

109.  C.1850, Litchfield Mfg. Co., Litchfield, Conn, a super paper mache clock with original decorations in excellent condition. clock retains original 30-hr balance wheel mov't signed Chauncey Jerome {Litchfield bought all of their movements on the outside}. The only question are holes in the bezel that do not match those in the case, so it appears that only the dial/bezel assembly {which are appropriate for this clock}, came from another case. Amazingly the dial retains original paint in excellent condition. No label. A rare clock that is worth owning. Ht 17½" $700--$900

110.  C.1970, Horolovar Co., New York, Dickory, Dickory, Dock clock in very clean original condition. This example is very clean with all brass numerals intact, original mouse and no signs of wear. There is another one of these in this auction as well; see lot 117. Ht 24½" $300--$350

111.  C.1930, Seth Thomas, Chime Clock No. 75, with plain silvered dial, and in good original condition. This is a well made clock with model #113 Westminster chime movement, and complete with original gong assembly, with great tone. Minor crazing on case and a little discoloration on dial around 9. Still a decent clock. Height 9¼" $175--$225

112.  C.1937, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "Assembly-3" Oak wall clock, in nice original condition with a very clean dial, hands and pendulum. This utility model sold for less than ten dollars in 1937, and was billed as "an ideal school clock". Some touch up on lower door; overall very good+. Height 20¾" $125--$175

113.  C.1876, Seth Thomas Clock Co., 30-hour time & strike Cottage model with alarm. The Rosewood veneered case has some chips on the door and some loss on the bottom molding. The original dial has some loss on the figures around the winding holes. Best part is the super original dated tablet of the 1876 Centennial Exhibition Hall in Philadelphia {minor flakes in background}. Very good label. Ht 14¼" $150--$200

114.  C.1870, French, Picture Frame clock with large iron framed Morez repeating movement {repeats hour strike 2 minutes after the hour, just like larger weight versions}. These are often called prayer clocks, folks pausing for 2 minutes at every hour for meditation. Although the frame has some minor nicks, this clock is overall in very good original condition, with mother of pearl inlay intact and original dial signed: Grizard, Luzy. Ht 24" $375--$475

115.  C.1910, German, Junghans, Berlin style free swinger in generally good original condition. Note the plaster eagle is a replacement and has been dropped and glued; you'll want to find a better one. The case retains original top trip and finish; has a few latent holes from now inactive wood worm. 8-day movement strikes the hours on a gong. Has an interesting pendulum of a flying hour glass with wings. Ht 33" $400--$600

116.  C.1910, mixed lot: A bow front crystal regulator case, nicely polished, but with a base hole for a center mount gong, and into which has been installed a C.1920 French lever striking movement, and mounted about a half inch too far to the rear {suspended from ceiling of case}. This clock has been cleaned, and runs and keeps good time, but is sold here as a good looking decorator clock. Ht 11" $200--$300

117.  C.1970, Horolovar Co., New York, Dickory, Dickory, Dock clock in running order. There are 3 missing raised brass numerals [4,6,7], but retains the gold stenciled numeral beneath, but the clock is otherwise in good original condition. There is another one of these in this auction as well; see lot 110. Ht 24½" $250--$300

118.  C.1860, Terhune & Edwards, New York, 8-Day Iron Front in excellent original condition. This is mid 19^th century Americana at its affordable best, a great architectural casting with original MOP inlay in the shape of buildings around a harbor. With original dial, hands and label. Ht 20" $175--$275

119.  C.1900, German, 2-Weight Vienna style regulator in good restored condition. The original case finish has been sprayed over with high gloss varnish, and looks a bit shiny. The pendulum bob has some minor dents; hooks in weights are incorrect. Still this clock retains original top and is in good running order. Has fancy cream colored dial with red separators between the black numerals. Also with seconds hand. Ht 51" $750--$1,000

120.  C.1900, Austrian, 3-Wt Baroque in very good original condition. The walnut case is exceptional on the clock; finely detailed carving and evidence of good care; lock in door is intact, but no key. The well made & original movement is signed Carl Berrmayr, Linz; has not been serviced for some time and could stand cleaning…it does run and strike as is. This good looking clock is certain to attract a great deal of attention in this evening's bidding. Ht 50" $2,000--$2,500

121.  Mixed lot: Austrian, a good small time movement with steel rod pendulum and backboard from an old clock, around which has been completed the rest of the clock in a transitional Alt Deutsch style. The workmanship on the case is very good. New parts have been stained over to disguise their recent addition. The 5½" porcelain dial is good and old hands are intact. Whoever is making these case stabilizers needs to sell them in the US. In original condition, we would have expected a small clock like this to fetch around $1200. Ht 33" $400--$500

121a.  C.1900, German Lenzkirch Quarter Strike bracket clock, as-found. When we went to NY to pick up a consignment, we found this in a box in a closet, all the glue joints having failed. Tom took the time to glue it together and it still needs some more TLC, but has lots of potential. The mahogany case has its share of nicks and scrapes, but it was once a very elegant clock, with 4 brass side columns and 4 pineapple finials. Movement is signed Lenzkirch, 1 Million +, and strikes the quarters on 2 coiled gongs. The silvered dial needs refinishing. With proper Lenz. pendulum. Ht 13½" $200--$300

121b.  C.1900, French, Chiming on 8 Bells, large black Belgian marble clock. Unlike lot 424, where the chime movement is added on to a strike movement, this movement was originally designed as a 3 train, but with the bells underneath, rather than above. When new, this was a very elegant clock; it has lost its original minute hand, and the hand shown in the photo does not have a proper French hub as required; also hammer tip for strike arm missing. It weighs 65 pounds and this clock must be picked up in person; no shipping. The marble case has a few chips and scrapes but is overall good looking. The bells sound great. Potential for the right person. Ht 18" $1,000--$1,500

121c.  Lot of 2 C.1905, as-found American boudoir clocks: Ansonia STAR carriage clock in complete and sound but somewhat dirty condition, and a New Haven Art Nouveau model that we are unable to find in the catalogs. Both need major cleaning. Ht 5¾" One bid for both. $100--$200

122.  C.1900, New Haven Clock Co., "12-inch Drop Octagon, Calendar", in good+ original condition. The rosewood is in nice condition with some roughness along the top edge, and some minor chips. The dial has a couple of small paint flakes in the center and some paint loss on the edge, but this is certainly minor in the overall picture of things. Both glasses and hands are original. Movement is properly marked. A good example of this model. Ht 24" $250--$350

123.  C.1901, William L. Gilbert Clock Co., "Admiral" calendar wall clock. This oak model is in good original condition; couple glue joints need attention, and some minor nicks and scrapes . The dial is in very good condition. The hands are original. The lower glass is an old replacement; should say Standard Time. Retains proper pendulum with embossed floral pattern; rear label with water stain. Behind the dial, is a dust strip of wood that is missing [2 x 7", easy to replace] Overall a good school clock that anyone would be pleased to have. Height 27" $275--$375

124.  C.1900 French Conical [Rotary] Pendulum Annular dial alarm clock. Novelty alarm illustrated in La Pendule Francais, part 2, page 351. This is a nice example. Note the time is read (on the original dial strip] through a window in the base; there re 5 pillars, however the rear 2 are difficult to see in the photo. Uncommon to find this clock with original pendulum intact. Folks seem to be finding these in odd parts of the country; all we know is that Terwilliger was getting $350 for them 20 years ago, so they are certainly underpriced today. Height 7" $600--$800

125.  C.1885 E. N. Welch for Francis Morse, Perpetual Calendar Walnut Gingerbread. This is a very good example of a RARE clock. Andy Miller did his research correctly on this one. Benjamin Franklin of Chicago, was granted a patent for a perpetual mechanism designed to slide over the hand shaft of a conventional open spring movement. The patent was issued for this device that could be installed on your own clock, with no other changes than cutting a hole in the dial for the month to show through. Although sales of the mechanism on its own were not successful, Welch did manufacture a complete clock for Morse to sell. See Millers Survey of American Calendar Clocks, pages 150-51 for full details and a photo of this same model clock. Both labels on ours are weak, but by looking at the one in Millers you can see all the information is the same. Ht 22½" $500--$800

126.  C.1875, Ithaca Calendar Clock Co., No. 7 Hanging Cottage, in good restored condition. The time and strike movement has been freshly cleaned and oiled, and the calendar adjusted. The walnut case has been stripped and refinished and is a bit dull, and the bottom is held on with 3 screws that are a bit large for the job {easily remedied}. Time dial has been repapered; calendar dial is original with some dirt and wear; original rollers are dark. A good example for the beginning collector. Ht 25" $500--$700

127.  C.1926, Standard Electric Time Co., Springfield, Mass. Master Clock in Oak with one slave clock, AND original heavy power supply unit {110vac to 24vdc}. The case itself is in very good condition with original finish. The dial has a little damage, but we are supplying three additional dials. One dial appropriate for the clock, plus a new dial the former owner had on the clock and a slave dial that was used as a backing for the new dial. The original movement is in need of proper repair as someone has added a bracket and 110v electric motor to wind the clock {synchronous motor raising wind arm once per minute}. The hands appear to be replaced. Note power supply is without cord, so we cannot verify integrity, however, it should be worth $200 alone. Height 63" Would be $1000 if original. $500--$700

128.  C.1908, Self Winding Clock Co., New York, "Marble Dial Clock" with 18" dial with raised bronze numerals and bronze hands {now sprayed gold}. The type F, 120 beat movement bears serial #160140, and appears complete in every respect, however we were unable to verify the circuitry is intact. Also the hanging bracket for rear of clock is absent {large Seth Thomas type}. What is there is in very good condition. Ht 18" $300--$400

129.  C.1830, Eli Terry & Sons, Plymouth, Conn, 30-hour half-column and splat shelf clock. This clock is in clean condition with a beautiful label and retains most of its original stencils. The dial has paint loss across the center and the case a couple of veneer chips on the base and the door. The long drop movement may not be original, but appears complete. One of the side returns is missing on the top. The upper glass is original while the lower is a quality replacement but done on old glass. Good potential. Height 31½" $150--$250

130.  C.1895, French, Marti, Well made black marble clock with full turned marble columns. The theme of many clocks in the roaring 90's was classic Greek & Roman architecture, and the clocks were meant to appear as small "buildings" with the clock centrally located. This has a well made gong strike movement; bottom edge of case has gotten wet and is discolored. Porcelain dial is good and with attractive gilt bronze dial center. Ht 13¼" $200--$300

131.  C.1880, French, Picture Frame Clock, in generally good condition; note clear glass for door is missing. Retains original reverse painted glass dial, and the mother of pearl inlay on this particular one is exceptional. 8-day time and strike movement is complete and sound. Ht 24" $250--$350

132.  C.1900, E. Howard & Co., movement only for 20" gallery clock. Retains original pendulum {stick needs gluing}, pulleys, Geneva stop, F/S regulation assembly, AND original hands {see separate photo - these are good for any Howard 20" dial}. This came in a box carefully labeled "for Johnson & Murphy marble clock", so apparently got separated from its case. Movement is properly signed, but flash has restricted your view. Plates = 4.5 x 6.25" $250--$350

133.  C.1890, F. Kroeber, New York, "Genuine Vienna Regulator". This clock is in running order, but has not been cleaned in some time and might benefit from service. Cable is good, old hands are a close match; only minor shortcomings are several spider lines in the chapter ring of the dial. Case is sound and all finials appear to be original; dark finish has been touched up; minor ding in brass bob. These Kroeber Viennas are uncommon. Ht 47" $600--$800

134.  C.1835, Silas Hoadley, Plymouth, Conn., 30-hour upside down wood movement half column and splat shelf clock. This is one of Hoadley's Franklin label clocks. The stenciling has faded but appears original. The top glass and the mirror are old but replacements; the lower glass is a replacement. The dial is nice with a little fading and one little ding. Label is dark but readable. Mahogany case was refinished long ago and is a bit dull; the key escutcheon has been filled in, but the lock is there. Height 36" $400--$600

135.  C.1835, Silas Hoadley, Plymouth, Conn., 30-hour upside down wood movement with alarm half column and splat shelf clock. This is one of Hoadley's Franklin label clocks, with a great label. The mahogany case was completely refinished some time ago, and none of the original stenciling remains. The top splat was broken and reglued. All three glasses appear original, bottom "Time is Money" with some flaking. Alarm train intact. Height 36" $600--$800

136.  C.1855, Birge, Peck & Co., Bristol, Conn. 8-day weight column and cornice shelf clock, in very good condition. This has a strap-brass rolling pinion movement. The case is veneered in highly figured mahogany, and was refinished long ago, with nice patina. There is veneer missing from the top trim of the cornice molding and some damage along the base. The two tablets have a little flaking, but are great subjects… a busy wharf at top and mansion at bottom. The painted dial has a little loss around the winding holes. Way above average for what we find today. Movement dirty and needs cleaning. Ht 32½" $400--$500

137.  C.1866, Seth Thomas, Plymouth Hollow, Conn, movement and label are Plymouth, in attractive restored condition. The big negative is that the rosewood veneer has come off the top and sides and the edges sanded to blend everything in, and then the case refinished. We are aware that some of these were made in two tone cases, but this is not one of those. All this aside, the clock is clean, running and alarming and with original tablet intact. Ht 9" $100--$150

138.  C.1852, S. B. Terry & Co., Terryville, Conn, cottage clock with ladder movement, as-found. This clock has been skinned of its veneer. However, it does retain original tablet [worn] and a good label. These labels are unique in that they state "Patent, Caveat filed, A.D. 1851". This was only a warning, not a patent. The sister to this clock is pictured in Palmer's Treasury of American Clocks, page 155. Ht 10¼" $150--$200

139.  C.1795, A & C Edwards, Ashby, Mass, No. 127, wooden movement with tinplate dial & calendar. Note the gentle arch in the hood door matches the arch on the dial plate, however, shims have been added to the case risers to get it to set in the center of the door. We are unsure if the dial mask has been changed or the top molding of the door has been changed, but something definitely has been changed. Still, this is a well made 18^th century Massachusetts movement, complete with original hands, dial spandrels, calendar ring, etc, and a better door or case may be found. Ht 81" $1,500--$1,800

140.  C.1815, O. Hopkins, Litchfield, Conn. 30-hour wooden tall clock movement. This is a very uncommon maker. The dial lettering has faded and some minor damage on the edges. The corner spandrels and arch decoration are in pretty nice condition. With the black work strengthened, this would be a very pretty dial. The movement is in nice condition with no broken teeth. The works have grooved barrels, which have been seen on their 8-day movements. The strike is actuated by a lift lever on the front plate. The hands are old and appear to be original. The little lead counterweights for the pull appear to be original. Height 16" $500--$700

141.  C.1820, Mark Leavenworth {unsigned} 30 hour wooden works tall case. This clock was purchased on 5-12-1973, at R A Bourne's in Hyannis, Lot 95, for $650. The cataloger was unsure of the clocks origin and described it as either a Whiting or Hoadley {copy of catalog is included}. The daughter of that buyer inherited the clock and brought it to us to sell. She had started to refinish the case {worked on hood} to match her own furniture, so the hood will need some additional attention. The trunk and pedestal however are with original dark red paint. The dial has about 15% paint loss and will need professional attention. No weights and no pendulum; movement sound and complete. Ht 87½" $750--$1,000

142.  C.1868, Seth Thomas, CABINET 8-Day time, in rosewood and in very good restored condition. The door to this clock has been re-veneered and the dial re-finished and the entire case finished to match. The movement has been cleaned and the clock is in good running order. Good Thomaston label. This mini clock is ready to enjoy. If you prefer unrestored, see next lot; ht 9½" $175--$225

143.  C.1868, Seth Thomas, CABINET 30-Hour strike, in rosewood and in very good original condition. Other than wear in the paint around the winding holes and odd nicks along the base, this mini clock is quite good; clock retains original finish, dial, hands and label. Ht 9½" $200--$250

144.  C.1870, Seth Thomas Octagon Top mini cottage in restored condition. This case had gotten wet at some time and the top joints no longer match properly. A patient cabinet maker could correct this. Otherwise this is a good little clock with re painted dial, clean movement, running and alarming. Ht 9½" $150--$200

145.  C.1875, Seth Thomas. 30-hour COTTAGE, miniature time and alarm and in good original condition. The original dial has some flaking along the top and left edges. Both glasses are original and the case is complete with original bright gold counter framing and nice patina on original finish. Label stained but legible. Ht 9½" $200--$250

146.  C.1890, French, Picture Frame clock in generally good condition. The outer frame has been filled in a couple of spots and painted black. The alabaster dial has raised brass Roman Numerals; the dial surround with geometric brass inlay. Seems to tick and strike OK; marked Japy Freres movement {Paris}. Ht 24" $225--$325

147.  C.1905, Ansonia, DORVAL, crystal regulator. This clock has a nice mercury pendulum, probably from a French clock, that has been shortened to fit this clock {the Ansonia unit had zinc slugs}. Movement is clean and running, and glass is all good. Dial has a chip by right winding hole and assorted hairlines. Ht 8 7/8" $200--$300

148.  C.1910, Waterbury, FESTUS, pressed oak gingerbread in generally good condition. The top oak splat has a split on the left. Although the case has not been stripped, it has been wiped over with alcohol to smooth out the shellac, and it is a bit red in appearance. The movement mounting screws have been exchanged for machine screws, actually a sensible way to attach the movement. Original dial with wear; runs but needs cleaning. Ht 23" $90--$120

149.  C.1891, Waterbury Clock Co., 8" Octagon Lever 30-hour time and strike gallery clock. The dial has been repainted. The veneered case has some damage on the back edge of the bottom and some repair to the back edge of the top. There is a nice label on the back of the case with some loss. Strikes the hours only on a coiled wire gong; strikes fine but time side is dried up. Height 10½" $75--$150

149a.  Mixed lot: A C.1900 French picture frame case, now with a German movement from the same period. Actually the workman did a very good job and the movement keeps time just fine and winding arbors match the holes in the dial. It runs and looks fine for the person who is not fussy about originality. Some minor nicks and scrapes to the black frame, but the MOP is excellent. Ht 24" $150--$200

150.  C.1860, Seth Thomas, Plymouth Hollow, Conn., for S. J. Southworth, Leeds County, Canada West, 30-hour weight column with OG cornice shelf clock. This clock is over-restored and has been that way for 40 years. This clock is pictured in A Treasury of American Clocks, Pg. 197, and you will note the following condition is apparent in that photo as well. The veneer on the top and bottom OG molding has been stripped off and the wood finished a maple color. The tablet has been professionally restored. The dial is nice with some paint loss around the winding holes. The columns have been poorly refinished with paint. The case has its original label, specially printed by Seth Thomas, with losses. Height 25¼" $100--$150

151.  C.1860, Seth Thomas Clock Co., Plymouth Hollow, Conn. 8-day spring column and flat top miniature shelf clock.

152.  C.1870, Atkins Clock Co., Bristol, Conn, an 8-day round gothic shelf clock, with tasteful restoration. The finish on the rosewood case is original, with some dirt still in the corners. The dial has been properly repapered. Some of the inside paper lining has flaked away and the peices are in a small plastic bag. Retains original hands and barrel pendulum. Note bottom movement feet have been turned slightly for a new bite in the wood. Ht 17" $200--$300

153.  C.1910, Ansonia, ACTOR, Royal Bonn, Mini 30-hour boudoir clock in clean original condition. Paper dial is still good with only slight darkening due to age.

Ht 26½" $300--$500

157.  C.1852, Brewster & Ingrahams, Bristol, Conn. 8-day gallery timepiece. The gilt case has been painted with gold paint. The bezel glass is cracked. The hands are original.

The original 18" dial is very nice with original hands. The bezel is heavy cast brass. The bezel glass has a crack in the upper right corner. The case contains a large and robust chain-drive fusee movement signed "Gillett, Bland & Co., Steam Clock Factory, Croydon, London". The movement also has a Harrison's ratchet and pawl maintaining power. It is very unusual to see a signed movement on these clocks. There is no pendulum, but new ones are easily obtainable. Height 32½" $800--$1,200

159.  C.1890, New Haven Clock Co., LENORE, gilded spelter mantel clock in the Louis XVI style. Much of the gilding has worn away and the rear cover has been replaced. However, the overall condition is very good, the porcelain plaque of maidens in a garden, including an angel and winged cherub, and the dial with polychrome floral decorations. Fancy cast hands are intact. A miniature scene of two lovers is on the small urn at top {some crazing to finish on urn}. A French piece like this in bronze would command $2000, however this American version is much less. Movement seems to tick OK. Ht 14½" $275--$375

160.  C.1900, French Porcelain China Clock in the Louis XVI style. This is an excellent clock. The case is profusely decorated with hand painted flowers and with two reclining lovers on the front of the case. The case is cream colored with light purple panels and with lots of raised buttons with 24k gold highlights. The dial with unique gold trim surrounding each numeral and with a floral spray in the center. The French movement is numbered 5717 and with matched numbered pendulum. Striking on a gong. Front bezel will stay closed, but does not latch securely; minor cosmetic losses of color and some crazing. Ht 12" $450--$550

161.  C.1900, French, Brass Cased Carriage clock, with plain Obis case. The dial is indistinctly signed by the retailer S. Kind & Sons, Philadelphia with hairlines to the upper right dial margin.

This is a very striking clock, with lots of contrast between the dark blue and the white area that carries the flowers. The case retains its Bonn trademark, along with the name La Grace, which seems to be a factory mis-mark, as the clock is definitely a LaTour. The case is very clean, ticks and strikes; could stand oiling. Ht 10¾" $550--$650

170.  C.1875, Welch, Spring & Co., Miniature Patti V. P. in very good original condition. Someone took the movement out to clean it and lost the hands, but replacements are available from Timesavers.

Height 7" $550--$650

174a.  C.1925, German, Art Nouveau wall clock in the Berlin style, and rather than a free swinger, with a fancy molded door over the pendulum. The dial center and pendulum have fancy Nouveau designs, and you can see the trend toward the curved and symmetrical lines of Art Deco. This is an 8-day, time and strike on cathedral gong. The numerals on the dial have been painted over {not bad but not so well either}. An unusual clock with an interesting look. Ht 32½" $500--$700

175.  C.1863, Seth Thomas, Plymouth {label and movement}, COTTAGE, mini one day time, restored {see Ly #968 in Seth Thomas book}. This is a Civil War era clock and these OG bottoms are hard to find. This model might not please everyone, as it has been completely re-veneered, top to bottom, and there are some "waves" in the veneer. Any one who has tried veneering knows that it is a tough job. The dial has been professionally painted, and with new "S-T" hands. Retains a great Plymouth Hollow label. Just cleaned, running and ready to enjoy. Ht 9½" $125--$175

176.  C.1853, E. & A. Ingraham, Bristol, Conn, a good original 8-day steeple clock with alarm. The mahogany veneer is excellent, with one old chip at the very tip {not noticeable}. The signature is faded on the original dial, but still legible. The movement is signed "New Haven Clock Co, Conn., USA", and lines up perfectly with the original blocks and dial. Note that E & A Ingraham at this time bought their movements from other makers and cased them with their own label. Coincidentally, New Haven in the 1853-56 period, made movements for Jerome and others. Great original finish on this case, and the cut and frosted heart tablet is original as well. Ht 19½" $300--$500

177.  C.1875, Seth Thomas, Mini Octagon Top, time and alarm cottage, restored. The case and dial have been refinished… some runs in the finish. Retains good Thomaston label.

179.  C.1880, German Dial Clock. This is a 30-hour wooden plate model with brass gears. The original wooden dial is marked "A. Ganter" The wall mounting plate and side doors appear to be replacements. Someone has made use of a "silver color liquid steel" to glue these backboard parts together. There is a repair to the fly. The hands are original; pendulum is a home-made replacement; would normally be a simple wire with round brass disc. Height 12" $100--$150

179a.  C.1890, German, Time Only "R-A", spring driven wall regulator in excellent restored condition. The case was professionally refinished and 5 outer finials nicely turned to fit {inner 4 on door are original}. All the work was well done, and this is a very attractive clock for a bedroom or other location where a strike would be distracting. Porcelain dial is perfect, also porcelain insert in pend and beat scale are good. Has good solid plate 8-day movement with cut pinions. Ht 35" $275--$375

179b.  C.1905, German, Art Nouveau, Quarter strike wall regulator. The pendulum has some dings, however a Timesavers replacement could solve that. Also a minor split in the backboard behind the movement. The light walnut case retains original finish and carved Nouveau top [note very top molding above carved center trim is damaged]. And with a retailer's plaque from Paris. Best part is the heavy and well made quarter strike movement, striking ding-dong quarters with 3 hammers on 3 gongs. Dial with some wear from the hour hand dragging on the surface. Overall very good condition. Ht 33" $200--$300

179c.  C.1895, German, Kienzle, Walnut Spring regulator, with "flying dial" trademark. This clock needs dome cleaning up; it has been varnished over and needs to be rubbed out. Retains original fancy top, but missing very top eagle or whatever {replacements are available}. Note fancy bottom with original ribbed finials.

179d.  C.1925, German, Junghans, 8-Day Wall regulator, Small size. This clock has been in storage and will need cleaning, but is intact and complete. The dial, pendulum center, and beat scale are paper, but still in good shape. Runs and strikes, but would benefit from service. Note top is original, but retainer is damaged and will need attention; some signs of previous wood worms on top [no dust now]. Total height is deceiving; it is a small clock. Ht 24" $150--$200

180.  C.1920, German, Junghans Automaton Acrobat clock {less gymnast}. If you are handy at making a small figure you can restore a valuable clock. Refer to Oct '96, lot 334-a, for what figure should look like {a small cardboard cutout}. The case and movement are otherwise in good condition, and the arms of the gymnast are intact and turning. Two small side moldings missing from case {1/4" flat easy to make}. Worth $800 of complete. Ht 15" $300--$500

181.  C.1915, Seth Thomas "Tudor" [this model without inlay], in generally good original condition.

Oak case with original dark finish. Ht 8¾" $125--$175

182.  C.1886, Ansonia, ELLIPTICAL Carriage clock in their Peep-O-Day series, in generally good original condition. The clock took a tumble at some time and the base has a crinkle that has been straightened {looks OK}. Left side glass has a chip. The nickel over brass finish is worn in some high spots. Still, this is a very uncommon American carriage clock and we sold the last one of these for $800. The estimate on this one reflects the slightly lower condition. Height less handle is 6"; total with handle up = 7" $300--$400

183.  C.1890, Boston Clock Company, Brass Cased Carriage clock, SPARTA model, 8 day. The case with four beveled glasses to the sides, & with fluted corners, fluted top arcade surmounted by finials and a reeded handle, with a matching fluted bottom skirt above four turned feet. The plates of the high quality time only, seven jeweled movement retain original gilding. The silvered and engraved platform escapement with cut, compensated balance is visible through a crescent shaped aperture in the rear plate, which is numbered 2462. The porcelain dial with bold script numerals has a vertical hairline. The rear glass has chipping at 2 corners. Overall a good example of a high quality American carriage timepiece that will benefit from a gentle cleaning. If perfect, worth $500. Ht 6½" $300--$400

184.  C. 1890, French, Brass Cased Carriage clock, the decorative, Column style case with perfect beveled glasses to the front, back & top and polished solid side panels with applied detail.

Norman, London, 1742, 17 jewels, unadjusted, Swiss Made" on the backplate and numbered 0039 on the edge of the rear plate.

186.  C.1900, French, Brass Cased Carriage clock, of small size, in a multi-piece square edged case with 45º chamfers to the long edges, and 5 perfect beveled glasses to the 4 sides & top. The time only movement is signed "Made in France" and has a replacement lever platform with solder repair to the regulator. The white dial appears to be dirty from the hour hand dragging a bit, and has 2 fine hairlines. A small clock with a substantial case of unusual shape in good condition, that will benefit from cleaning and service. Ht 4" (with handle up} $150--$200

187.  C.1925, New Haven Clock Co., WILSON, full size 30 Day banjo with oval lower door and tablet. This clock is right out of a home in E. Brookfield, Mass, and looks nearly new. Except for a replaced convex glass and the retainer being soldered in, and a ding in the pendulum, this would be in Outstanding Condition. Has great dial, mint label, super original finish and xlnt tablets. We expect considerable interest in this item. Ht 40½" $600--$800

188.  C.1900, English, Single Fusee Dial clock, in very good as-found condition. Someone used too weak a nylon cord to string the fusee and it has failed.

189.  C.1875, Austrian, 3-Weight, Grand Sonnerie wall regulator, as-found. This clock came to us from storage, and the cord will need re-newing. Although the clock runs and strikes, the end of the hour {left} winding arbor somehow got broken off {about ¼"} . Now amazingly the key still winds the clock and fits the stub of an arbor OK. Included in the small parts bag is not only the old wooden crank that fits all arbors fine, but also an old arbor and barrel that could be fit to the movement with some effort. The clock is otherwise a large and attractive walnut clock in generally good order with decent dial and original hands. Ht 65" $1,400--$1,800

190.  C.1920, German, Unsigned, but surely from Freiburg United Clock factories, 2-weight regulator. Most of the movement is like a Becker, who had merged with other Freiburg factories for economies of scale. Becker continued his serial series up to 1925 {2,100,000} for his own production, but the others started their numbers over again. The serial on this movement is 115470. This is a very good looking clock with only minor shortcomings….the 2 pulleys are close but not a match, and the cast Lion was cracked and reglued {still in fine condition}. Minor scrapes, but this is a very clean clock with original finish, top, etc. Ht 51" $900--$1,200

191.  C.1890, French, Clock/Barometer. This is the nicest looking of these models in the sale. At some point in its life the original movement got separated and a good clockmaker found one that bolted in correctly, except that the winding arbors were a little farther apart. So the wooden dial had to be plugged and 2 new holes drilled. This was done some time ago, and very well stained, but it is apparent on close inspection; one tapered glue block missing from right side. So we leave it to you, the average person would never see these and it will certainly add to anyone's décor. Ht 38" $500--$700

192.  C.1890, German, Spring driven wall regulator in very good, as-found condition. This clock came from storage and has not run in some time and is oily. Still you can coax it to tick and strike and it is a quality Deutsch Reich movement with cut pinions and solid plates. The embossed dial center with an angel plus swags and scrolls and the pendulum matching. Complete with original top and all finials. Case is an interesting tu-tone of light and dark walnut, plus a dozen pieces of bronze trim, faces, shields, etc. Porcelain chapter ring is excellent. Ht 43" $500--$700

193.  C.1840, German, F. C. Merget, Berlin, an interesting spring regulator. This clock was most certainly made by a Frenchman who moved to Berlin. The round movement is definitely French work, however, the mounting, pendulum, beatscale, and dial are all Germanic. The alabaster dial has a crack across the center and is dirty. Movement is of 8 day duration. Top left finial with tip chipped; 2 small trim moldings missing at top The ripple molded Biedermeier case is typical of cases made in Berlin. This is not a marriage, but as originally made. Ht 23" $250--$350

196.  C.1920, German, Shelf Cuckoo, with restoration and needs strike spring {30 hour}.

Despite the work and shortcomings, this clock has potential. Ht 20" $300--$400

197.  C.1890, New Haven, 8-Day Octagon Top, rosewood shelf clock, with restorations. The case has been refinished, the door edge repainted with aluminum paint, and the both tablets repainted by a Chatham artist. Retains good original label, dial and hands. Runs and strikes, but the movement could stand service. Ht 15" $100--$150

198.  C.1925, Chris Olsen, Grimsby, English gallery clock. The small gallery clock has a carved rope molding, the case made in the UK, and the movement imported. The Swiss lever 8-day movement is marked "Buren". The dial has a couple of paint flakes. The seconds hand is missing. The case has an age crack in the carved area. The hinge needs repair {careful not to drop bezel}. As a note the click spring has failed {mainspring is still good and platform is intact}. Height 9" $90--$120

199.  C.1870 Mixed lot of two 30-hour steeple clocks, in generally fair condition. One is a Waterbury and the other is a William L. Gilbert & Co. They both have veneer and dial problems. The movements appear original and with some work can be restored very nicely. Height 17" One bid for both $100--$200

200.  C.1886, Ansonia Clock Co., "La Duchesse", iron case mantel clock. This clock has some loss of the copper highlights on the case.

This clock seems to run OK, but the case has been sprayed black and all the finials are newly turned {decent job}; little crest at top is old and original.

According to Greek mythology, Perseus presented the head to Athena, goddess of wisdom & war. A brass support has been screwed on to Perseus' arm to hold a swing clock. The blade of his sword is missing, however the hilt is there and it should be no trouble to add a blade.
