The original finish is a bit worn, but you can still make out the hot gold foil that was impressed around the inner door frame. The tablet and dial are extra nice. Both movements complete and sound. Ht 9.3" $175--$275

008.  C.1965, Angelus, Swiss, 8-day time-barometer-hygrometer-thermometer, Globe desk time-piece in generally good condition.

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; dome is behind clock in web-foto. Suspension thread will need replacing [simple job] Ht 8" $300--$500

The flask has a clock face that reads "Time to Take a Drink" The back of the flask has the letters "U.S." cast in the glass.

010.  C.1890, European, Glass Dial Novelty clock, as-found. This is a great looking clock, but UPS managed to break the glass dial and wouldn't pay the claim. Now the pieces of the dial are all aligned in place, and if you are gentle with it, the dial will last a lifetime; just it will not take a jogging around. The wooden case with brass trim is very attractive. Decent 8-day time only movement. Ht 13.5" $150--$250

011.  C.1915, German, Walnut Cased Shelf alarm clock with brass slide shut off on front of the case. This is a very clean and attractive clock with a good original dial, hands, and finish. One day movement seems to tick and alarm fine. Ht 10" $75--$100

The hand painted scene in the arch of this porcelain dial is done with fine detail, and shows a chalet in the mountains and with 4 wild mushrooms in the foreground.

012b.  C.1930, English, Aneroid Barometer, wall model, in a carved oak case with rope twist edge, and in good original condition. This is a nice looking wall decorator.

The brass bezel is discolored and has a stress crack on the left side {not noticeable from a distance}. Diameter = 11" $175--$275

The original tablet, dial and label are great {minor flaking along edge of dial is not apparent with door closed}.

The case in is in clean condition, some chemical may have taken off much of the gilding; there are no breaks {looks OK}. The inset porcelain panel is perfect.

015c.  C.1900, New Haven Clock Co., 8-day time/strike mantel clock. We couldn't find this nice and clean iron clock in the catalog, however, it has the top of a "Wallace", and the balance of a "Newberne". Many of these components are interchangeable, and department stores probably ordered a hundred or so of a unique combination to give them a merchandising edge. This has certainly been together from the start. The porcelain dial is perfect and the hands are original. The beveled door glass is perfect. The movement is stamped by the maker. Ht. 12.25" $100--$200

015d.  C.1900, English, gravity clock, 30-hour. This is a cute little brass timepiece that runs a compound pendulum and a visible escapement. The glass dial and hands are original. The timepiece is wound by raising by moving the case to the top of its travel and the case weight is sufficient to run it. There is an embossed label on the back indicating the timepiece is "British Made". Many of these are problematic or suffer from abuse, but this one runs reliably the full travel of the rack. Ht. 10.25" $200--$300

015e.  C.1914, German, Gustav Becker, Westminster chime bracket clock, mahogany with silvered dial and in very good original condition. The only thing that keeps this from being excellent is a small dent in the right side of the mahogany case and a small bubble in the veneer. The movement has Becker's Gold Medal medallion trademark, and is serial number 2,889,741, which according to C. Terwilliger dates to 1914, while Kochmann, suggests 1928. I believe that Terwilliger is correct, as he has the numbers for each year beginning in 1900. We are always asked about this discrepancy, and I guess that s why there is more than one history book on any subject. This clock runs and chimes. Ht 14.5" $350--$450

016.  C.1860, American Clock Co, NY, small 30 hour iron front, as-found. This clock is missing the alarm mechanism [set wheel is intact], and the label is gone as well.

They are light and durable and much more practical than the iron and marble clocks they competed against, but were discontinued for lack of sales. They are uncommon, and yet we offer a half dozen in this week end's sale. Note also that they are listed in Lys's Ansonia book under "Mantel Clocks  enameled Iron cases, pages 307-308.

Note the original cup shaped bell+stem broke off and someone drilled and tapped the stem and added a "bell shaped" bell from another novelty.

170.  C.1883, Ansonia clock Co., DAUNTLESS, one Day, time and alarm mantle clock. This has to be one of the fanciest alarm clocks we've seen in a long while, with an Empire/French style case of cat metal with a bronze finish, and with the normal alarm movement mounted from the roof and pillars, and with the added novelty of striking on the bell below, mounted to a finial. One minor defect is the tail to cupids arrow is absent; has been gone a long time. Ht 16" $200--$300

172.  C.1900, Wm. L. Gilbert, TUSCAN, mantel regulator, in dirty, as-found condition. Note the top finial has its base broken {can be repaired}, and the rear dust cover is now a round piece of wood {should be brass}. Otherwise this is a restorable clock that is not easy to find. Ht 19" $500--$700

173.  C.1910, Ansonia Clock Co., CRYSTAL model 4-glass in good original condition, with striking lever movement {original also} signed Ansonia. There is a little oxidation on the base, but overall, this is good. Ht 9.75" $275--$375

The original foto of this clock lost it's file type moniker and could not be recovered, so we have substituted a Parker catalog cut to show the model. Our clock frame is slightly bent from an old fall and the clock hangs a bit crooked from the chain. I am being a bit critical here, as it is not so bad. Ht 9" $175--$275

177.  C.1883, Ansonia Clock Co., OFFICE INK, as-found, the base cracked and soldered once and failed again. These models are time and calendar; the white spot on the dial around 2 is actually the remains of a sticker on the glass. Covers to the ink wells are missing. Our estimate leaves room for a talented workman to improve the value of the clock. Ht to top of clock = 8"; total ht = 9" $75--$125

195.  C.1894, Ansonia, CASTLE mirror clock, in good condition, exceptions noted. See LY, page 480, figure 1948 and you will see the rooster & weathervane are missing, top right of case. There is also a small chip in the crystal at 8. Otherwise complete and sound. Ht 15" $150--$200

196.  C.1900, Ansonia Clock Co., "No. 502", Royal Bonn, 8-day time/strike porcelain mantel clock, as-found. The case is in nice condition with the exception of the top tip which was recently broken and glued. The porcelain dial and beveled door glass are perfect. The hands are original. The movement is die stamped by the maker. The verge needs repair as the two jeweled pallets have broken off. One of the pallets is taped to the glass {replacements are available}. Note Bonn trademark now absent. Attractive sky blue color with dark pink and yellow flowers. Would be a $1000 clock if perfect. Ht. 13.5" $300--$500

197.  C.1950, Home made mahogany tall case {Mini}, with a C.1925 New Haven back wind novelty movement. This clock stood on a watchmaker's bench at the American Clock & Watch Museum at Bristol, where it was on loan from 1974 to present. The fellow who made the case had some skill and the lines are quite pleasant. Ht 17" $100--$200

198.  C.1907, New Haven "MINHO", mission oak miniature tall clock in good original condition with label on rear [some tears on label and difficult to read].

199.  C.1926, Ansonia Clock Co., GRAVITY clock in generally good condition. One of the white metal posts is distressed and has a couple of teeth missing.

201a.  C.1860, Chauncey Jerome, New Haven, Conn., 30-hour time/strike OOG clock. The mahogany veneered case is in unrestored condition with some minor veneer loss. The clock may have come from an attic, as the finish is alligatored {some folks like them this way}. Both glasses are original, but the lower glass of St. Luke's Church, Hudson St, NY, is badly flaked. The original dial pan looks to have been repainted. The hands are original. The movement is stamped by the maker. The label is very dark but readable. Ht. 26.25" $75--$150

202.  C.1860, N. Muller, New York, 8-day time/strike shelf clock. This is a very nice Muller case clock marked No. 59 that has been cleaned and the finish restored. The brass movement is not signed, but the clock could have been marketed by the American Clock Co. The dial pan appears to be original but the dial paper and hands are new, and the outer bezel is properly replaced. An attractive rendition of 2 birds in a garden. Ht. 21" $250--$350

203.  C.1937, Barr Mfg. Co., electric timepiece. Barr Mfg Co. started making these timepieces in 1937 after Poole Mfg. Co. stopped production. These models are usually found using batteries, but this one runs on house current. Because of the professional nature of the 110v wiring and conversion {not to mention the age and deterioration of the wiring}, we are inclined to believe this was a "last gasp" effort on Barr's part to merchandise their electric clock. The dial is excellent and the hands and pendulum are original. We have based our estimate on it being correct. Ht. 9" $200--$250

204.  C.1880, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "10 Inch Lever", in good condition, with restorations. The mahogany veneer case was refinished maybe 50 years ago and has a nice mellow color.

This clock uses a double spring 8-day lever movement. The BEST part of this clock is the superb rear label that is worthy of framing.

210.  C.1900, French, an Original Mignon Statue, same as the American statue [after all we copied it], except for a slight variation in the base. If you have an Indiana base, this could do for a statue. Ht 16" $200--$300

211.  C.1905, Jennings Brothers, OWL INK, in overall good condition. Note the dial has a horizontal crack, no second hand and movement loose in case. The figure of the owl is excellent in its detail; hinge is intact and it has a great look; lift head to expose well; glass liner for well is absent.

213.  C.1900, French, Spelter Statue MIGNON, made into a lamp a little later. The circuit is sound at this time, but re-wiring is suggested. A competent electrician should inspect all lamps in this sale. Ht 27" $100--$200

214.  C.1905, Ansonia, Boar Hunter, clock top garniture in good original condition and complete with lance in the hunter's arm. The fact that the next 2 lots are also the same top should not make you think these are common, it's just that Mr. Semegran believed in buying all he could find. Ht 12" $400--$600

215.  C.1905, Ansonia, Boar Hunter, clock top garniture, less lance, and with 2 holes drilled into the front of the base {looks like it had a name plaque at one time}. The statue is painted a dark red-bronze color. Ht 12" $250--$350

216.  C.1905, Ansonia, Boar Hunter, clock top garniture, less lance, and with an old coat of gold paint. The statue is in good condition, with no breaks nor repairs. The lance is an easy enough item to make from a piece of welding rod and a shaped lead tip. Ht 12" $300--$500

217.  C.1920, German, Hamburg-American Clock Co, 8-day time/strike regulator wall clock. The refinished hardwood case is in very nice condition with original top and finials. The paper dial is pretty nice with a little loss to the finish around 6 o'clock. The hands are original. Seems to run and strike OK. Above average for what turns up today. Ht. 27.5" $200--$250

218.  C.1935, Lux Clock Mfg Co., Waterbury, Ct, animated alarm clock, "Monkey & Organ Grinder", in fair to good condition. Note the bottom of the case has been damp and has some rust.

The dial is dirty but fairly well preserved. The movement is complete and sound and still ticking. The pendulum has been replaced by a U. S. Army button with an embossed eagle. These are unusual and worth $400 if in nice condition. Diameter = 4" $125--$175

221.  C.1882, Yale Clock Co., New Haven, Conn, "Carriage Clock", 8-day in generally good condition. It is interesting that Yale chose to call this a carriage clock when it has a pendulum movement. Note the movement is complete and sound, but the large spring is fully wound and bound up, and the clock will need disassembly and cleaning before it will run. {It does tick if you apply pressure via the set stem}. The brass case is stamped from rolled brass. The paper dial and hands are original. Ht 6" $150--$200

222.  C.1892 {dated case} Seth Thomas Adamantine, with restorations. This is a medium tan case, and the cello veneer is in good condition.

For Connecticut researchers, this is a rare item, our first sighting of a clock by this firm. 30 hour lever movement appears complete, but may require attention. Ht 4.5" $100--$200

225.  C.1905, Waterbury Clock Co., "SPECK", brass cased carriage timepiece miniature in generally good condition. If one of the case screws had not been missing, we would have classified this as 'excellent', as the beveled glass, porcelain dial and hands are all original and in good shape. Movement is complete and sound. Ht 3" $90--$120

225a.  C.1900, French, Brass Cased Carriage timepiece, as-found with a crack across the center of the dial, a minute hand too long, and the platform is a new Swiss replacement. Despite these deficiencies the clock seems to run OK, and has some potential. Ht 5.75" $100--$200

225b.  C.1910, French, Brass Cased Carriage timepiece, for Wm Wise & Son, Brooklyn {on dial}, and in generally good, as-found condition. This clock is an "Obis" case, with the cheapest stamped top available at the time. It has a cylinder platform that is dirty, and although the staff appears to be intact, is not running. The dial has some hairlines. The glasses are good. Ht 5.75" $100--$200

225c.  C.1900, French, Brass Cased Carriage clock, as-found, less hands and rear door.

This is a presentation piece, the top engraved: "dominus vobiscum, Henry Chapin". The porcelain dial is good and the beveled glasses are fine. Retains original platform. For someone who specializes in carriages, this is quite restorable. Ht 7" $450--$650

226.  C.1955, Allied Mfg. Co., Seattle, "KIT KAT" Clock, 110v in good running order. A couple of Chinese companies have reproduced this clock, however the new ones will NOT run. This one retains its original cord in good condition and is running fine. Note both eyes and tail move back & forth. Ht, including tail = 15" $40--$60

227.  C.1880, F. Kroeber Clock Co., "Hungaria", 8-day time/strike iron mantel clock, lacking drop from lions mouth on right side. The case is pretty good with some paint loss on the edges of the base and on the top. The incised work on the case has been filled in with gold paint. The dial is a little dark from age. Typical of Kroeber's mantle movements, the rear plate is embossed with fancy scrollwork. There is a clean label on the bottom of the case. Ht. 10" $125--$225

228.  C.1880, Japy Freres, 8-day time/strike marble mantel clock. The case is in pretty good condition with a small chip on the bottom right corner and a repair to the upper left corner. The porcelain dial is perfect, although the signature on the dial is worn and no longer legible. The nut that holds the bell to its support needs a proper knurled type {available from Timesavers}. Ht. 9.5" $125--$225

229.  C.1910, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "Ship's Bell", 30-hour outside bell ships strike clock, as-found. This clock is in generally good condition with the case overpainted with gold paint; it will need stripping and polishing of the brass case. The silvered dial has turned rather dark. The hands are original. Retains about third label on rear, plus newsprint and green paint from a former strip job. These are worth $350 when original and clean. Has potential. Ticks and strikes. Ht. 10.5" $150--$200

230.  C.1900, English, Sestrel, Ship's Compass, plus 2 marine lights, all in good as-found condition. The compass is mounted in a set of gimbals, set in a binnacle and has a handle to carry it from place to place or it can be screwed to a base. The binnacle and compass both bear the same patent information: Patt.183/HB. There is also a set of green and red navigation lights, brass cases with heavy molded glass lenses. The lights have no electrical components inside. An interesting marine lot. Ht. 9" $150--$250

231.  C.1985, Chelsea Clock Co., "Boston", 8-day time/strike ship's bell clock. This was part of the Boston series of clocks that were produced by Chelsea with lower cost German movements. The heavy brass case is good condition with wear to the lacquer finish. The silvered brass dial is very nice with some minor scratches near the winding arbors. The hands are original. Balance staff is intact and clock is running. Ht. 5.50" $200--$300

232.  C.1890, French, 8-day time/strike cartel clock. The carved oak case has been over-painted and "antiqued" by someone to match a set of furniture. It is very attractive, but it didn't start out life that way. The numerals are in fine condition with no breaks in the porcelain. 8-day movement is sound and strikes on a gong. Enjoy as is or refinish to golden oak. Ht. 21.5" $200--$250

233.  C.1890, French, 8-day time/strike baker's clock. The case has been refinished. Rather than the usual black lacquer over gesso frame we usually see, this one is solid walnut. The walnut dial surround has been refinished as well. The original reverse painted glass dial may have been damaged, as this one is a paper photocopy glued behind a clear glass {actually looks fine and is only detectable on the closest of inspection}. The hands are original, and the 8-day striking movement is complete and sound. Ht. 24" $200--$300

234.  C.1900, Ansonia, Pair of Garniture Statues, No. 1101, The Italians, in good restored condition.

236.  C.1890, French "Lulli", single figure garniture statue in very good original condition. Note the Ansonia figure "Melody" is a direct copy of this figure. Since we can assume the Parisians did not have road reps in Brooklyn buying statues to take to France, we must conclude it was the other way around. In any case, this is a nice statue. Ht 20" $150--$250

237.  C.1885, French, Guilmet, Movement for standard mystery clock. Note the vertical carriage which supports the statue is not included, only the main movement with "mystery crank" escapement.
