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.

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.

This particular clock has a Jennings Brothers dial {Bridgeport Conn}, who supplied brass components {probably made the cases for Waterbury}.

261a.  C.1935, Junghans, battery electric timepiece. The brass and plexiglass case is in very nice condition. The dial and hands are perfect. The case has a 7-jeweled watch like movement.

Fork, top block and suspension wire are absent, also one hold-down screw for the movement. Wheels intact. Ht 11" $25--$35

Wingspan = 16.5"; ht 15.5" $125--$175

275a.  C.1855, German copy of American-style 8-day fusee shelf clock movement. It retains its iron dial with original paint, though has some chips. There is no case. This movement may have been an early product of the Junghans brothers who came to America about 1850 and worked in an American clock factory, presumably that of Chauncey Jerome. On first glance one would think this movement was a Jerome, but the pallets, escape wheel, rack & snail striking, oddly shaped plate blankings and other feature strongly suggest it is not. The rack, striking hammer and motion work idler gear are missing, Ht 9" $150--$250

277a.  C.1900, Ansonia, WHISTLER, Side statue in good condition. Although this statue does not appear in the Ansonia catalog as a garniture, we see no evidence that he ever held a clock, so imagine we simply do not have the catalog supplement that pictures it individually. Ht 13.25" $150--$250

277b.  C.1894, Ansonia, OPERA FAN, as-found, rear strut has separated from the main casting {solder joint has failed, been glued and failed again}. Otherwise it is in very good condition with bright dial and original hands. For details, see LY #2132. Ht 7.75" $100--$150

291.  C.1900, Ansonia Clock Co., OPHELIA, cast mantel clock, as-found, missing the top trip and the 2 drops have been ground to smooth over the missing pieces.

292.  C.1885, Ansonia, Mixed lot of plush decorations, {Palace & Cottage}. Note that Cottage is less its frame, and with corner trim for the later style of frame.

296.  C.1935, German, Copy of the famous Columbus clock, one day, weight driven with verge and foliot escapement. Note the little foliot weights are missing, but these are easy enough to make, just a small block of wood with a round wire staple in the top. Dial states "Anno 1640".

300.  C.1880, F. Kroeber "Horse Shoe" alarm clock, as-found, for parts. Note the movement did not start life in this case, and the case originally had a wooden back. Still, it is a nice example of the case if you have the proper movement under your bench. Ht 6.5" $40--$60

The walnut case is in excellent original condition with the original pendulum, weight and counter weight. Note also that this retains the original angled wall bracket for hanging the clock.

The only item that keeps this from being outstanding is a missing hand on the F/S adjuster in the arch {simple enough to make}. The Circassian walnut case retains original finish with nice patina.

312.  C.1858 "E. N. Welch at the old stand late J. C. Brown", Forestville, CT. This is indeed a Welch clock and has a nice label inside. The rippled molding rosewood case, unmistakably Atkins, was probably purchased by Welch from the stock of the Atkins Clock Manufacturing Co. went they went bankrupt in 1857.

The movement and hands are Welch and the deep case was originally blocked forward so that Welch's movement would fit properly. The lower door tablet is original. The period dial retains original paint, and fits the case properly; extra holes indicate it may have been changed long ago; looks FINE. The lower door knob is replaced.

The dial has original paint with some wear on numerals X and XI and a few chips, the largest in the seconds dial. However, considering most Seth Thomas dials, it is very good.

Note this uses a compound pendulum, two pendulums meeting in the center at about a 110 degree angle, and suspended just where they join. See our sale of April 1998, lot 372 for a clock using this movement, and also items in the Mearux collection.

320.  C.1925, Waltham Clock Co., Willard model weight banjo in good original condition. The Mt. Vernon tablets are great and the original finish has great patina. The only thing that keeps this from being excellent is the dial, which was repainted by a good artist maybe 15 years ago, but he didn't use primer on the pan and the paint is separating and starting to flake.

Interestingly, Welch took over the J. C. Brown operation in 1856 and for at least the first year or 2, the blue labels stated "Successors to J. C. Brown". However, this blue label does not have that statement, and this clock would surely have been one of the last ripples made by Welch.

See LY #474 for additional details {catalog cut shows clock on different base, but this one lines up with holes and appears correct}. Ht 15.75" $1,500--$2,000

349.  C.1904, Ansonia, "VIRGINIA & GROUP #1121", in very good original condition. This is another published use of the boar hunter clock top. Note the fancy gilt dial with individual chevron numerals. The case retains most of its original gilding with a light bronze finish one the curved frieze panels. This is a heavy clock. See Ly page 408, index #1588; this clock cost $72.50 when new while a 'Hanging Antique' cost $70. Only now do we see that the wood was a better investment. Ht 24.5" $2,500--$3,500

349a.  C.1900, Ansonia Clock Co., Royal Bonn, "La Croix", 8-day time/strike porcelain mantel clock in excellent original condition. The pleasant apple green case with painted flowers in violet and dark pink; all in excellent condition with some wear to the applied gold. The porcelain dial is good {minor hairline at 11:30} and the hands are original. Has open escapement on the dial, and the movement has been serviced and is running. The beveled door glass is perfect. An extra nice Bonn. Ht. 12" $900--$1,200

350.  C.1850, French, Large Ormolu Mantel Set, includes 2 candelabras, with wear. Most of the original gilding has worn to brass from polishing and the very fine detail has been lost as well. The well made round 8-day movement has silk thread suspension. Besides the fanciful scrolls and waves, themes include a lion and 2 children eating grapes. This set is extremely heavy. Ht of clock 24.5"; height of candelabra, 28" $2,000--$3,000

351.  C.1890, French Conical Pendulum clock in good condition. This is a nice small size clock, with evidence of good care through its life. The black marble base has ormolu paw feet and lions with rings through their mouth on either side. The attractively gowned female statue retains her original gilding, with dirt & some wear and minor separation from the spelter below. The ball type rotary pendulum is original. The incised marble dial retains good gilding in the Roman numerals, and with original hands. This is a nice example with a reasonable estimate. Pendulum is at podium. Ht 21" $3,250--$4,250

351a.  C.1790, French, Bailly, Paris, Mantel Regulator, 4-glass, with a white marble base and urn, the whole decorated with ormolu in the shape of drooping vines and berries with ribbon accents, the urn with acanthus swags and a floral spray at the apex. The entire clock is in excellent original condition. The silk thread movement has anchor escapement, with a small verge that spans 3 teeth, count wheel striking on a bell, and a star shaped gilt pendulum. The movement has a concentric calendar with delicate star shaped calendar wheel and hand. The time hands are finely chased brass, brightly gilded. The porcelain dial is perfect with no hairlines nor evidence of repairs, and bears the maker's name in red, above the 12. This clock came to us from a home in Wellesley, Mass and has been well cared for. Ht 16.75" $3,000--$5,000

352.  C.1890, French Mystery Clock in good original condition. This is an especially good looking clock, with a base of reddish brown, and with a spelter statue of Diana with very nice bronze patina. The claw feet and side lions are ormolu. The incised dial is of the same reddish marble, incised and with gold leaf filling the Roman numerals; gilt hands are original. The original pendulum has an old repair where the shaft snapped in the center at one time. And the clock likes to run. See also lot 106. Pendulum is at podium. Ht 28" $4,500--$5,500

353.  C.1880, French "Windmill", from the Industrial Series of animated clocks, in very good original condition. This is a good looking clock, with only minor discoloration of the silver finish. Windmill mechanism runs for a few hours on a winding. The small time only movement has a cylinder platform and runs a few minutes and stops; appears dirty and will surely respond to a cleaning. For literature, see Derek Roberts Mystery, Novelty & Fantasy Clocks, page 265., and also refer to Sotheby's Meraux sale on June 28, 1993, lot number 3; which sold for $3220. The fan for the mill is at the podium. Height 17.5" $2,750--$3,250

354.  C.1880, French, Annular Dial Clock, a classic urn, a snake entwined around the tip, with his tongue indicating the time on two rotating dials. The urn is mounted to a substantial fluted base with 4 large acanthus swags, the whole mounted to a octagonal white marble plinth on an ormolu sub base and 4 turned bun feet. The 8-day striking movement is wound from the rear, horizontally, near the base of the clock. There is loss of gilding on the fluted base, however it is still attractive. Strikes on a bell. This is a large and heavy clock. Height 19.25" $7,000--$9,000

355.  C.1875, French, 3 Cherubs holding a Celestial globe with bronze stars, in the style of Louis XVI. This clock has a well made bell strike movement with the award seal of Vincenti. The white marble base has a thin ormolu footing with rounded edge; a cylindrical plinth rises from the base and is surrounded by ribbons and garlands. An intermediate plate holds the left foot of 3 ormolu cherubs with up-stretched arms attached to the globe with a threaded stud and nut from each hand. An interesting and impressive piece. Ht 19" $2,750--$3,750

356.  C.1890, French, Bronzed Spelter Swinger "Le Lever Du Jour" in very good original condition. This is an attractive swinging arm with original finish on the arm, ball and male statue. The ball still has the name of the original London retailer below 12: S. FISHER, 188 STRAND. {name with wear, but still fully legible}. Ball retains original dark green patinated finish. Ht 25" $2,600--$3,600

357.  C.1904, Ansonia, "Eureka & No. 1099  Dagobert", as-found, in overall good condition. Note that the Eureka base has not been re-finished and has some wear, while the statue has been re-bronzed. Retains original multi color dial with red designs between the Roman numerals; open escapement in the center. Ht 23" $2,500--$3,000

358.  C.1904, Ansonia "Sybil & Winter", with restorations. This clock and statue have been stripped and colored with rub & buff, then sprayed over with sealer {looks amazingly good for the low cost materials used}. The new hands are improper, but look OK. There is no pendulum to this clock, but replacements are available from Timesavers in Scottsdale, AZ. Ht 24" $1,250--$1,750

359.  C.1894, Ansonia, LATONIA & No 1012 Norman Horse, in generally good condition. Note the statue has been sprayed gold, while the base retains original finish {mostly worn off} Retains original gilt brass dial with fancy support for the escape wheel. This clock sold new for $55. Ht 19" $1,250--$1,750

360.  C.1900, Ansonia, UNDINE & GLORIA, in good, as-found condition, dirty. Retains a good porcelain dial and original hands; movement sound but would benefit from service. The finish on both clock and statue appears to be original. This is Ly #1491, page 385, and sold new for $55. Ht 27.75 $2,250--$2,750

361.  C.1904, Ansonia "FLORIDA & GROUP 1089"{Cherubs}, in good condition, with restoration. Note the base has been restored by Mr. Carrick with his trademark bronze finish, and the ribbon trim gold plated. The Cherubs retain their original finish with some wear, but basically excellent. The movement is complete and sound and with great porcelain dial and open escapement. This clock shows in Tran Duy Ly's Ansonia book, figure 1474 on page 379, and sold new in 1904 for $100. For comparison a Hanging Antique was only $70 or you could have bought two Generals for $94 {47 each}, or 5 weight driven Capitals for $20 each. I feel there is room for appreciation in these figure clocks. Ht 30" $2750--$3750

362.  C.1885, French, Conical Pendulum clock under original dome and in very good condition. This is a great looking clock with most of the original gilding intact on the spelter clock case. This is a striking model, sounding the hours on a small French bell. The clock itself measures 13", total w/ dome + base = 16" $2,000--$3,000

363.  C.1906, Ansonia, FORTUNA swing clock in original condition with some shortcomings. The statue base has been drilled for a cord and lamp. The original arm retains proper signed Ansonia movement, however has no hands nor top ribbon trim. The bowtie or top ribbon is available from Timesvers.com, part #18374, for $650. The hands are part #13197, and are $15.00 for the pair. The original ball has a bright finish [dirty] with silvered Arabic numerals. Lots of potential for this clock. Ht as shown 28.75 $3,000--$4,000

364.  C.1906, Ansonia, FORTUNA swing clock in restored condition. This entire clock has been to Chas Carrick, where he has refinished both the statue and the arm. The pendulum rods have been removed and polished while turning, and the ball repainted with metallic blue enamel. Note the hands and top ribbon are new, and the "shield" for the suspension is absent. Still a lot of clock for the money and ready to enjoy. Ht 30" $4,000--$6,000

365.  C.1894, Ansonia Double Statue MUSES mantel clock in excellent restored condition. This case was sent to Chas Carrick and has been totally refinished in his "trademark" bronze color. The porcelain dial with open escapement is excellent and with Ansonia information on the dial center piece. A good looking clock. See Ly #479, page 152 for additional information. Width = 19", ht 21.5" $1,500--$2,000

366.  C.1894, Ansonia MUSIC & POETRY, double statue mantle clock in very good, as-found condition. The statues are a bit dirty, but complete and sound with no breaks nor repairs. Most of the original finish is worn off at this point, but it allows for restoration to suit the individual collector. Good porcelain dial with open escapement and original hands. This clock sold new for $47; see Ly item #483 on page 153. Ht 20.75" $1,500--$2,000

367.  C.1880, Ithaca "Parlor Calendar 3½", in good original condition. Except for the cracked glass calendar dial, this clock would really qualify for "excellent" condition. It is a single crack, top to bottom, and has tape holding it, and may respond to some modern adhesive for an acceptable repair {better than replacing it with a new one}. The top dial, silver on black is original and good, plus the roller covers are original; and the original cut glass pendulum is outstanding. Retains great label on the inside of lower back. Both movements are intact and functioning. Ht 20.5" $2500--$3500

368.  C.1880, Ithaca Calendar Clock Co., "No. 6 1/2, Belgrade, Shelf", time, strike and perpetual calendar, in walnut, and in outstanding original condition. There are minor nicks and scrapes and finish loss commensurate with the age of the piece. The original black dials are excellent; roller covers are darkened but original. Hands, movements and case hardware original. For additional details on this model, see Tran Duy Ly's book on Calendar Clocks {1997}, page 139. Sure to garner interest. Ht 32" $3,500--$4,500

369.  C.2003, Wayne Cline, Bowling Green, KY, 8-day, 1-weight, Girandole timepiece. This is a beautiful copy of the Lemuel Curtis model with gilt case and Moberg signed glasses {Wedding Scene}. The case is marked "16" in several places, and with Cline's serial number on the rear, and his signature on the dial. The gold leaf work is very bright and this is an attractive clock. An original Curtis is worth well over 100,000 dollars. We were fortunate to receive this clock for our auction, as there is a waiting list for all Cline clocks. Ht. 45" $5,000--$7,000

370.  C.1884, F. Kroeber, NY, "NOISELESS ROTARY No.1" in very good condition, with original dial, hands, bottom label and pendulum. The old dome is a near perfect fit, about a half inch larger than the original in diameter, but it fits well within the outside edge of the base and looks as good as the original. For details, see Tran Duy Ly's American Clocks, volume 1, page 157, figure 541. This is an 8-day, time and strike clock, merchandised by Kroeber as: "Attractive and useful, totally noiseless in the escapement, ebony case, nickel pendulum, with glass shade". This model was designed to look like a derrick, with mechanism below and the pendulum suspended from the top of the derrick. Ht 21" $4,500--$5,500

371.  C.1890, E. N. Welch Mfg, "No. 9, Iron" in generally good condition, except for damage to the porcelain dial at the winding holes, and the hands changed. Somehow this sneaked into the middle of the auction. The best part of this clock is the PATTI movement in running order. Retains a good label on the rear of the case. See Tran Ly's Welch book, page 139, item 251, his value in 1992 = $1300. Ht 7.5" $300--$400

372.  C.1820, Austrian, Gilt Wood Cartel Clock in good original condition. There have been some glue repairs to the odd broken leaf, but overall this is quite nice. The porcelain dial has chips at both winding holes, but is otherwise in good condition. Retains original hand tooled and gilded brass hands. This clock has a small silk thread movement, geared for 2 days running. Ht 27" $1,800--$2,200

373.  C.1900, English, British United Clock Co., BICYCLE clock in excellent original condition. Henry's brother, Edward Davies went back to England to run the BUCC, and ideas and designs flowed freely between the 2, although there was never a financial connection. Note at a glance the dial center looks like an Ansonia, but is just a little different. Even the letters BUCC appear in a little diamond that looks like Ansonia's trademark. Ht 6.25" $850--$1,050

374.  C.1890, French, Annular Dial Clock, Time only, in a white marble and ormolu case, and in excellent original condition. The top {which you remove for winding}, is still intact and has never been dropped, a common circumstance on these models. The figure of a small boy with a loin cloth, holds a gilt arrow in his right hand which points to the time read on 2 revolving dials The porcelain plaque with minute marker "15" has a small hairline crack; all other numerals are perfect. Ht 11" $3,750--$4,250

375.  C.1914, Ansonia Clock Co., "Crown", 8-day time & strike crystal regulator. This clock is in excellent restored condition and is ready to go into your home. The case has been polished and the movement cleaned. The porcelain dial is perfect and the hands are original. All the beveled glass panels are perfect. The movement is properly die stamped by the maker. Has fancy pendulum with cast leafy ends. Ht. 15" $500--$750

376.  C.1894, Ansonia "ART & COMMERCE", double statue figural clock in nice restored condition, except for the missing center finial tip. These finials are available from Timesavers.com, part #19289, for $2.25 {two dollars, twenty five cents}, including stud and nut. Clock has a very nice porcelain dial, the center with Ansonia trademark and open escapement. Ht, as shown 20" $1,500--$2,000

377.  C.1900, Seth Thomas, "Regulator No. 2" in oak and in very good original condition, and if not for the flaking on the original dial near 12, would be in excellent condition. Note that portion of the dial had some coffee or something light tan spilled on it. Has a nice label inside, on the base of the clock. Has a 1911 clean/regulate date. The weight and pendulum are original; very minor scratches in the pendulum. Original finish has lovely, slightly crazed patina {what most of us like to see}, and both glasses original. Overall a nice example of this model. Ht 35" $1,500--$2,000

378.  C.1870, Seth Thomas, "No. 1, Extra, Striking" in nice restored condition. The case has been refinished and a few veneer chips filled in with stain {looks pretty good}. The bottom 6" of the case was replaced and is too long and the wrong configuration. See Ly's Seth Thomas book for a foto of the correct profile. A good cabinet maker could construct this for you. A bit of the gold on the tablet is missing where the gold rod is showing {should be fruit depicted there}. Most of the instructions are intact. With original square iron weights. Best part is the embossed Seth Thomas pendulum with a little image of the town of Plymouth Hollow [now Thomaston]. Ht {reflects long bottom}, 43" $2500--$3500

379.  C.1825, A Boston area Box Lyre, with some Centennial updates, and in good condition. The nice part of this clock is that it is great looking. Our best estimate is that the carved finial, carved throat piece and mahogany panel for the lower door were added around 1870 to fit in with the styles of the time. Certainly no additional work has been done since then, other than some touch up to the dial around the winding hole. Has a nice hand made movement of the period. A reproduction would bring more than our conservative estimate. Ht 39" $2,500--$3,500

380.  C.1820, Austrian, Laterndluhr, 3-weight, Grand Sonnerie in good original condition. This is a nice example of the earliest Biedermeier style. A very similar clock may be seen in Fred. Kaltenböck's book Viennese Timepieces, page 184, figure 398. It has had some restoration: the rear of the case has 2 large and 2 small old iron bands that are securing a vertical split in the case {note the mahogany veneer is cracked, but not separated on the front, but would have failed without these reinforcements}. Corbels have been reglued. There is some repair, here and there to the satinwood banding. The case has been rubbed to a sheen. The 3-weight Grand Sonnerie movement is seat board mounted, and with a separate brass standard for the 2 coiled wire gongs. The one piece porcelain dial has a chip at the left winding hole; other minor imperfections. The pulleys are 4 spoke, star shaped {very nice}. The pendulum is original, with steel rod, and brass front and rear of bob. The movement is clean and functional. See also lot #457. Ht 44" $14,000--$18,000

381.  C.1880, French, Mahogany Jeweler's Regulator with a pinwheel movement, center seconds hand and compensating mercurial pendulum, in good original condition. The original finish has been rubbed out nicely and with a coat of wax; the crotch mahogany veneer is exceptional. Instead of mercury, there is a sleeve of silver colored mylar in the glass jar {much safer}, however mercury is available from several sources and you can always choose to add it later. The movement is mounted in an iron frame and in turn to a seat board. A finely engraved beat scale is mounted in the bottom of the case and the clock runs reliably and with substantial swing to the pendulum. Ht 76" $7,500--$8,500

382.  C.1900, E. Howard & Co., Boston "No. 70 Regulator" in oak and in good original condition. The case has been heavily cleaned with a modern spray degreaser, however most of the original finish is intact {with some scrapes and nicks}, and it is an attractive medium gold color. The 12" painted dial is original, and the Howard signature is present, but a weak. The pendulum is original, but buffed at some time; about half the damascene pattern remains {careful when cleaning not to rub off the remainder of the pattern}. Pend stick, tablet, rating nut, weight and all case hardware are original. Top glass and putty are original; putty is starting to crack. The movement is signed and seems to run OK. Ht 32" $1,400--$1,800

383.  C.1900, E. Howard & Co., Boston "No. 70 Regulator" in walnut and in very good condition. This clock has been refinished, the tablet professionally repainted, and the pendulum buffed smooth & bright. The 12" dial is original and retains good E. Howard signature. The movement is also properly signed; hands, weight and all case hardware are original. Ready to hang and enjoy. Ht 32" $1,500--$2,000

384.  C.1850, G. D. Hatch, No. Attleboro, MA, unsigned Massachusetts weight banjo in excellent original condition. George Hatch was in partnership with David Williams; they capitalized on the popularity of Willard and Howard models and produced a large quantity of clocks in the 1845 1870 period. George's son, John carried on until perhaps 1875 and that was the last of it. Certain characteristics identify these: the way the pendulum is removable for shipment; the gold stenciled tablets that are often incorrectly replaced with leaf ones, and the delicate lines of the cases. This is about as nice an example as you could want to find. Ht 29" $750--$1,000

385.  C.1930, German, Karl Griesbaum & Co., CLOCK PEDDLAR + CLOCK in very good original condition. This is a nicely detailed figure of a stocky [strong] fellow with a red vest and bowler hat, holding a small 30 hour spring would clock under his right arm. On his back, in a pack are several clocks [the pack houses the spring wound whistling mechanism]. When you depress a lever on the rear, he whistles a lively tune while turning his head from side to side. Ht 13" $1,150--$1,550

386.  C.1905. Ansonia Clock Co., New York "Gloria" ball swing clock. This is a nice example with no breaks in the statue. The statue has been rebronzed by Charles Kerrick, but the pendulum and movement balls retain their original blue finish which has appropriate wear. The hands are original, but painted and need polishing. Has proper movement, shield and all hardware. Ht. 28.5" $3000--$3500

386a.  C.1890, French, Bronzed Spelter Swinging timepiece, the statue of LA SCIENCE, and in very good condition. The large spelter statue has original bronzing and no breaks and is mounted on an original marble base. The statue has a brass name plate with "La Science / Par Aug. Moreau". August Moreau's signature is also on the statue. The pendulum is marked #318 and complete. The ball has been repainted. Ht. 36.5" $3,000--$4,000

387.  C.1860, French Quarter Striking Lantern clock, in the Normandy style of 1790, with restoration. This is an interesting clock, primitive in concept and operation, and still very robust with the potential to last another few hundred years. The 3 rope drive trains are front to back rather than side by side, the time wheels behind the dial followed by the hour strike in the center, and at the rear, the quarter strike train. The qtr hour is struck on 2 bells [ding dong]. The hour follows on a still larger bell, only after the 4 quarters are sounded at the top of the hour. The anchor with recoil escapement is original to the movement, and helps us date it mid 19^th century. The dial has been painted on a pottery plate, drilled in the center, and certainly looks the part. The wall bracket is home made, but substantial in every way and more than strong enough to hold 40 pounds of clock and weights. {weights recent} Dial = 9", clock itself = 18", bracket = 28" $500--$750

388.  C.1980, Swiss for Franklin Mint, an annular dial orrery clock in good original condition, less dome {standard round dome should not be too hard to find}. These were very expensive when new. The hours and minutes are indicated on two silvered brass rings in the center, a shaft drives the plant gears above, with 5 planets. One planet points to the month and a scale beyond the months indicates the signs of the zodiac. The clock is unsigned. It is running. Ht 8". Inside diameter needed for dome = 8.5" , and around 11" high to clear the calendar ring. $1,100--$1,400

389.  C.1900, French, "Night Clock" in good original condition. There are 3 major components here: the spelter statue, Egyptian motif, with original bronzed finish, the small key wound pendulette movement with candle holder {remove movement and hold in your hand to wind}, and finally a round glass globe with the numerals painted in a circle. A candle {not supplied} helps show the time through the globe, with a fixed hand pointing to the time n the center. The 30 hour movement is running briskly. Overall height 20" $1,000--$1,200

390.  C.1900, Swiss, Tooled Silver Singing Bird box in very good original condition. This box is nicely tooled 800 silver case with pastoral / musical themes on the sides. The front shows a man playing a set of bag pipes, and to his right, a lady reclining in the park with a stringed instrument in her lap. The ends show a violin, a tambourine and other items. The bird is a delicate shade of blue with black accent feathers, and SINGS LOUDLY AND CLEARLY. See also lots 442 442c. Width = 4", ht = 2" $1,800--$2,200

391.  C.1920, Colonial, MODEL 1219 5-Tube Hall Clock, chiming Westminster quarters on tubular bells, in good original condition. The case is Honduras mahogany with standing octagonal columns on each side, with a gothic style overlay of the front door glass. The movement is a Herschede, serial #11023 {Colonial bought their "Domestic" movement complete with tubes, pendulum and weights direct from Frank Herschede in Cincinnati, had them stamped "Colonial"}. See Tran Ly's Longcase Clock book, page 68, mov't #67, and page 87 for the clock.. After Herschede failed to keep up with their volume requirements, Colonial concentrated more on German imported movements. NOTE the time click spring has failed and will need repairing. We put the click in place with our finger to take the foto {weight cracked the bottom dust board when this happened to the owner}. The clock and movement are otherwise complete and sound with no dents in weights nor pendulum; though needing service, it ticks, chimes and strikes. Includes signed "Colonial" crank & large {1.25"}diameter deep tone tubes. Ht 79" $2,000--$2,500

392.  C.1874, {dated label} E. Howard & Co., Boston, "Regulator No. 10", figure 8 wall clock in good original condition, the only item that keeps this from being excellent is that someone tried to re-paint the signature on the dial. {original dial paint is not chipped and a proper artist can restore the signature}. Has a nice original label inside the door showing it was sold by Wm. T. Gale Co, 221 Washington St., Boston, Feb 1, 1874. Many of these clocks were made after 1900, and this label is excellent documentation that it is a 19^th century model. This clock has perhaps the nicest set of original tablets we have ever seen on a figure 8. Walnut case has been polished & waxed. Ht 34" $5,000--$8,000

393.  C.1895, E. Howard & Co., Boston, Watchman's Clock, walnut, weight driven, and except for the missing case bottom and recorders, in very good original condition. The two spring driven, electro mechanical movements are intact, and the two wooden supports for the graph devices are there {tied in top of case}, but the two pencil/pen devices and recording mechanisms are lacking. This particular clock came from a local mill, THE TROY BLANKET MILL of Troy, NH, which went out of business last year {2002}, after having made blankets for the U.S. Army since the civil war. When the clock was ordered, the purchasing agent probably picked the case style from a large catalog of custom case designs that the Howard salesman had with him. The workmanship and case hardware are definitely from the Howard cabinet shop. A tapered bottom should not be too difficult to make. Uses a unique weight driven Howard movement that has a 26" pendulum from minute shaft to bob center. Dial = 10", minor touch-up around attaching holes. Ht as shown 52" $1,500--$2,000

394.  C.1909, Seth Thomas, "Regulator No. 20" in oak and in very good restored condition. The nicely grained oak case has been professionally refinished and the dial repainted by the Dial House. The clock is running, however, the movement is a bit gummy and could stand cleaning. Pendulum, weight, pulley, hands and all hardware are original and with orig lacquer as well. Like the model #70, these clocks have seen an increase in interest and price. For details and an image of the movement, see Tran Ly's Seth Thomas book {1996}, page 139, figures 447 & 449. Ht 62" $4,500--$5,500

395.  C.1885, Ansonia Clock Co., "Regulator #17", with restorations. This is a solid oak case and is VERY heavy. It was in a barber shop in Michigan for some time, with limited space, and the Victorian bottom and a portion of the top were removed. Later, a cabinet maker created a lovely bottom and top which look OK, but are very different from those shown in the 1894 Ansonia catalog [see Ly, #571, page 176]. He managed to stain them a caramel color, leaving the old finish on the main case intact. The 2-jar Mercury pendulum is antique, but may have come from another clock {it is a Waterbury pendulum}. The mercury is clean, but can not be taken to the hotel and must be picked up in Salem, NH. The movement is a typical pinwheel with center seconds hand and porcelain dial in xlnt condition. It is running robustly. Impressive despite the case modifications. Ht 86" $2500--$3500

396.  C.1889, E. Howard & Co., "No. 28 Marble Dial" in good condition, with the exception of the chapter ring which has been repainted by an amateur. Note the red 5 minute markers and the E. Howard signature are all good and original& it is only the Roman Numerals that will need professional attention. The marble itself is perfect, and the movement and all hardware are all original. This small marble front is the most desirable size available. Pencil inscriptions inside case indicate the following: "Put up in new church 9-18-1889", Cleaned Oct.17-95, Cleaned & Repaired by Ira F. Litchfield, Jan./37, plus other markings. Running & with great tablet. Ht 29" $1,500--$2,000

397.  C.1925, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "Regulator No. 70", in mahogany and in excellent original condition. The only minor item that keeps this from being outstanding, is that the painted dial is just starting to flake. No. 68 movement has graham escapement with special pallets, maintaining power and cut steel pinions, 13" dial. Case retains original crazed finish. Original weight with knurled ends intact, also orig pendulum stick, bob and hardware. Ht 55.5" $4,000--$6,000

The 11" dial has been professionally restored and bears the inscription "Penn Mutual Insurance Co., West Chester, Penna". The black and gold throat tablet is original; lower tablet restored; the gilt wood stick may be seen while the clock is running. The movement is robust as well as unusual, with some 'brass saving' cut outs; it is not signed. It has a seconds hand and winds at 3 o'clock. Ht 49.5" $3,000--$5,000

399.  C.1883, Ansonia Clock Co., "Regulator No.4" in walnut, with restoration and in good running order. The case has been stripped of its finish. The original iron mounting bracket has been attached in the original holes with machine screws were the wood pulled out [looks OK]. The top side finials are replaced [center original], and the bottom finials are missing; top left molding with small chip. The Ansonia beat scale is in an envelope in the case. The well made Swiss center sweep pinwheel movement has been cleaned and re-strung and with a strong beat; the hands, bezel and pendulum are original. Big and impressive and will respond to restoration. Ht as shown 82" $3,000--$4,000

400.  C.1890, Wm. L. Gilbert, "Regulator No. 12, Standing" in excellent condition. The only thing that keeps this from being outstanding is that someone has coated over the original golden oak finish with walnut varnish stain to help the clock match a living room set. The movement, dial, hands and weight are all original and fine. Porcelain dial is perfect with sweep center seconds and original wide brass bezel. Pendulum bob with minor imperfections. 8-day direct drive movement with pinwheel escapement and maintaining power. This clock came out of the smoking room in a small castle in central Michigan. Ht 102" $8,000--$12,000

401.  C.1920, Colonial Mfg. Co., Zeeland, MI, Grandmother Clock, model 1397, 3-weight with Westminster chimes. This is an attractive and well made clock with square brass dial and heavy cable movement {an imported movement of exceptional quality}. Chimes the quarters on 4 melodious rods, and strikes the hours on an additional tuned set of 4 rods. The glass in the center door is beveled. The mahogany case is in good condition with original finish, and the weights pendulum and hardware retain original patina as well. A good example of an affordable tall clock. We sold the sister to this clock in April 2003. Ht 77" $1,500--$2,000

402.  C.1925, Herschede Clock Co., For J. E. Caldwell, Philada,, 9-tube, 3-tune, quarter chime hall clock, in excellent original condition. This clock is a one owner, out of a home in Reading, Mass.. The fancy round dial has an applied silvered chapter ring with raised bronze numerals; the pierced and hand engraved dial center is outstanding. With selector levers at 3 for chime silent, at 9 for strike silent and at 12 for your choice of the tunes: Whittington, Canterbury or Westminster. There are some minor scratches in the weights {we'd leave them alone}, and a few blemishes on the silvered dial, but overall we would say this is in excellent condition. Ht 79.5" $2000--$2500

403.  C.1845, Belden D. Bingham, Nashua, NH, jeweler's regulator in very good condition. For detailed information on Bingham and for photos of the unique movements he made, see Nawcc Bulletin, for December 1975, pages 560 - 565. The 18 inch silvered brass dial is nicely engraved. The movement is stamped at the top of the front plate, "BDB", and is jeweled on the verge arbor + on the escape wheel, and both pallets are jeweled as well. At one time there was a reinforcement bar spanning the top of the plates, which is now absent {not critical to the operation of the movement}. There is also maintaining power, and all of the wheels are nicely spoked, as is typical of Bingham's work. This clock came from Western Mass, near the New York border, so it is easy to accept that it has a NY style Gothic case. There have been some veneer repairs to the case, where the rear margin meets the wall. The top finials are missing, and the top curvature on the hood has been lowered around an inch to clear a ceiling {done long ago}, also a chunk is missing from the lower left side of the hood. The mercury pendulum retains original thumb print jar {mercury will have to be picked up in Salem}, plus a unique fine adjustment collar that has its own scale, to facilitate recording and making changes. Despite the need for some case work and some cleaning, this clock has a lot of potential, and does run as is. Ht 95.5" $10,000--$20,000

404.  C.1815, Joshua Wilder, Hingham, Mass, Dwarf 8-day striking tall case in generally good condition. This clock is consigned by an anonymous lady in Hingham, and it has been in Hingham all of its life. The integrity of the case is excellent, except for the loss of the original red wash finish, and its current coat of varathane. The movement, dial, bell, hands, pendulum and seatboard are all original. The dial has experienced some flaking and has been shellacked over to stabilize the flaking; it deserves a trip to the Dial House for repair only {not repainting}; the signature is excellent, except for a chip between his first and last names. Lead weights are original. Also with an old inside label from L. A. Douglas, dealer in Antique Clocs & Bric-a-brac, Hingham, Mass. Although there are several Wilder clocks pictured in various books, this is most similar to figure 105 in Palmer's Book of American Clocks. Ht 51" $20,000--$30,000

405.  C.1880, E. N. Welch Mfg, Bristol, "GALE DROP CALENDAR No.3", in excellent original condition. This is a very nice clock, and has been well cared for its entire life. The rosewood case retains its original finish, with outstanding patina. Except for a very small blemish on the paper dial between the 10 and 11, we would have classified this clock as 'outstanding'. The case has a nice label and super gold leaf pattern tablet. Most important, it retains all of its original hands {6}, which are unique to this Gale model. This clock should please any Gale collector. Our estimate reflects both our past sales of this model and the condition of this particular clock. Ht 30" $9,000--$12,000

406.  C.1900, Waterbury "REGULATOR No. 60", in oak, as-found, missing its bottom and 2 finials & pedestals for the top. This clock has hung in an office in Acton, Mass for the last 30 years. It has the premium Waterbury movement with rectangular plates, pinwheel escapement and lyre pendulum with the wide oval rods. It retains original cast beat scale and black+gold label in the bottom of the case, also original door key {lock intact as well}. The exterior of the case was refinished 30 years ago and is a mellow dark gold color; the inside finish is original. If the case was complete, the clock would bring $10,000. If you add a bottom, it should be 79.5" tall, however, as it is shown, the height is 72.5" Lots of potential for a restorer. $3500--$4500

407.  C.1885, French, Bronzed Spelter Swinging Mystery timepiece in very good condition. The double figure statue is similar to the Fortuna, but smaller, and is signed Inspiration, by Moreau. The arm itself is clean and sound and the rear plate is signed 'GLT" {Guilmet}. Ht 30" $2,500--$3,500

408.  C.1895, French, Bronzed Spelter Swinging Mystery timepiece {ball style} in very good condition. The statue is titled 'La Source', in recognition of water as the source of life. See she is at a spring fetching water in a jug. The clock arm has been nicely restored, the Paris made movement with the number 2616. Ht 27" $2500--$3500

409.  C.1895, French, Ball Swinger in excellent restored condition {statue refinished by Carrick}. The small clock arm in good running order, and with the frame numbered 5240. A small and good looking clock. Ht 23" $2,000--$3,000

410.  C.1901, Ansonia GLORIA Swing clock in good original condition, except for a new suspension block {minor}. There are some scratches and dirt accumulation on the ball and arm, but overall good looking. Most folks would rather buy one like this than fully restored. Ht 28.5" $2750--$3750

411.  C.1880, Ansonia "FISHER & FALCONER" double statue swing clock in very good condition. Note the original statues are among the best we have seen, with much of the Syrian bronze finish still intact. The arm was previously bent in transit, and the rods had to be straightened and polished, however, the canister, dial, hands, and bob are all xlnt and with proper movement, and it is now in good order. Ht 27" $3,000--$4,000

412.  C.1900, Ansonia, "HUNTRESS & FISHER", double statue swing clock in very good restored condition. This entire clock has been "Carrick-ized" by Charles Carrick, and may look a bit too new for the average collector. Both statues and base have been refinished, and the entire arm polished {movement cleaned too}. It is in running order. Ht 25" $2,750--$3,750

413.  C.1901, Ansonia, "JUNO" Swing clock in generally good original condition with no apparent attempts to refinish. The one minus is the incorrect hands, however Timesavers.com carries a proper pair, item number 13197 for $15 that will save the day. Much of the finish is worn from the statue. Ht 28" $2,250--$3,250

414.  C.1880, Ansonia "FISHER SWING", canister type with low base and in very good restored condition. The arm has been restored by Chas Carrick, the rods burnished and all the brass buffed. The statue, fortunately retains original patina intact. Ht 24" $2,000--$2,500

415.  C.1880, French, Bronzed Spelter Swinging Mystery timepiece, DIANA, in excellent restored condition. The clock arm on this item has a 3-dimensional spun bezel, typical of the earlier swingers. The condition is really "like new" and the arm seems to be running fine. Ht 22.5" $2,000--$2,500

416.  C.1906, Ansonia, "ARCADIA" Swing clock in very nice condition. The clock arm has experienced a total "Carrick" restoration, with the ball repainted and the rods polished. The statue itself is original with nice patina, only the stud which holds the arm has been replaced. A good looking clock. Ht 31.5" $2,500--$3,500

417.  C.1900, French, Brass Cased Carriage Clock, time, strike, repeat & alarm, in generally good condition, the original silver platform/lever intact and running. The case has been re-polished once and the lacquer has worn through in spots and with some scratches. But the best part is the narrow "bamboo" trim which rises at each corner, in bands fully 'round the top and bottom and in a band across the handle. The porcelain time dial has navy blue numerals and the dial is perfect; the alarm dial is cracked & numerals are medium blue. Except for a corner chip in the rear glass, all beveled glass panels are good. Includes original travel case {with heavy wear}and key. Ht 7.5" $800--$1,200

417a.  C.1845, French, Bolviller, Paris, Carriage Clock in an early one piece brass case with solid rear door with shutter for winding, serial number 150. Retains original embossed lever platform, nice moon hands and center seconds. Both the porcelain dial and the rear plate of the movement are signed "Bolviller". The well made time, strike, repeat and alarm movement has been restored and is in good running order. The top glass and the right glass each have a corner chip. The hinge on the rear door is in a bind as the case screws are a bit too tight; should be attended to. See Allix & Bonnert, Carriage Clocks, page 432 for details on Bolviller, a good early maker. In good condition despite minor damage. Ht 7.5" $1,000--$1,250

417b.  C.1905, French, Chas. Hour, Grand Sonnerie Carriage Clock with alarm & repeat in a Corniche case, for Tiffany. Movement marked Ch. Hour + mov't and case are numbered 19755. Porcelain dial is perfect and marked "Tiffany & Co." Hands are original. All beveled glass is in good condition with the exception of a tiny chip on the upper right of back door. Center screw holding bottom cover is missing. Strike selector lever on bottom indicates: "Hours Quarters" "Silent" and "Quarters". Original lever platform is intact, and movement is running, but would benefit from service. A clock with lots of potential. Ht 6" $750--$1,000

417c.  C.1900, French, Paul Garnier {signed on base}, Gilt Brass Carriage clock, in an engraved case and in excellent restored condition. This is a time/strike/repeat & alarm model, with good porcelain dials, nice beveled glasses, and with original platform intact. If you want one nice striking carriage clock, this may be the one; the foto does not show the gilding well; in real life the case is a uniform color top to bottom, and looks most like the mask in the foto. Ht 6.5" $750--$1,000

418.  C.1890, French, for Bigelow & Kennard, Boston [porcelain plaque with name fired in], Boulle style wall clock in good condition. Some of the brass was a little loose on the base and has been glued down. Overall the condition of the red tortoise shell and brass inlay is good. The original pendulum got lost, and the current one is a modern German replacement {looks OK, and you could probably find an old one if you searched}. The cast brass dial has individual chevron numerals, all in perfect condition. The well made movement strikes the halves and hours on a coiled wire gong. This clock was completely overhauled in 1984 by Paul Jahnke of Monroe, Conn. Boulle wall clocks do not turn up that often. Ht 46" $2,950--$3,450

419.  C.1900, Ansonia Clock Co., New York "Juno" ball swing clock. This is a nice example with no breaks in the statue. The statue was painted gold many years ago, but the pendulum and movement balls retain their original bronze which has appropriate wear. The hands are original. The ball has one dent and the top decorative garland is intact, but bent. Overall an above average Juno that is sure to please. Ht. 28" $2,500--$3,000

420.  C.1900. Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Conn. 8-day weight driven "Regulator No. 2". This clock has a nicely refinished mahogany case with good veneer on case and bezel. The dial has been professionally repainted and nicely done. The hands, weight and pendulum are original {pend with some small dents}. The seconds hand is not original, but was made by an English watchmaker and looks fine; replacements are available if it doesn't suit you. A nice clock ready for your home or office, clean and running. Ht. 34" $1,500--$1,750

421.  C.1886, Wm. L. Gilbert, "REGULATOR No. 8, Standing", in good restored condition. The walnut case has been refinished with the Formby's system and looks pretty good. When the clock was shipped to the last owner, it arrived with the pieces to the porcelain dial in the bottom of the case and he carefully glued them back in place {looks Ok, and at least it's original}. We see firms in the Mart and in Clock's Magazine that refinish porcelain dials if you want to go that far. The center section of the case is held to the base with straps in the rear which are easily removed if you choose. The pendulum has a couple of small dings but is overall very good. The movement is clean and in good running order. We have sold two of these Gilberts in the last 18 months, one for $17,500+ and one in comparable condition to this for $12,200+. Ht 106" $9,000--$12,000

422.  C.1884, Seth Thomas "Office Calendar No. 5" in oak and in excellent original condition. There are some flakes on the dials which keep this clock out of the "outstanding" category, but they are original, and most folks would be happy with them. This is a large and heavy clock, so be sure you have a strong stud to hang it on. The dials are 14". Note there is a glass covered crescent shaped opening at the bottom where the swinging pendulum and index can be seen. The door over this area is still intact and has never been broken off {a troublesome spot on this model}. The original finish on this oak case has been carefully cleaned and waxed and is an attractive golden color. We have seen this model sell recently for $17,000, and our estimate is quite reasonable. For addition information on this model, see Tran Duy Ly's yellow calendar book, page 250, item 606. Ht 50" $10,000--$15,000

423.  C.1900, Austrian, 3-Wt Grand Sonnerie, in a 2^nd Baroque walnut case, and with original silvered Art Nouveau appliqués on the dial, weights and pendulum. We unscrewed the mounting bracket to check for odd holes, and the movement is original to the case; the upper gong bracket has a second set of holes the same distance apart, indicating it was moved in the case. The veneer has some chips at the top of the door, and some bubbles where the base wood has dried a bit, but overall it presents itself in very good condition. Note the double tier base with fancy carving. This is a rod strike clock with melodious tone. The hour rod protrudes into the case a bit, interfering with the pendulum and will need to be bent backwards [it may bend OK, or it may break off, depending on your luck]. The well made Austrian movement was cleaned around 1990 and restrung with gut, which has a couple of distress points, and may need replacing. Has old case stabilizers and porcelain beat scale. The movement ticks and raises the hammers in proper sequence. Ht 53" $2,000--$2,500

424.  C.1895, Austrian, 3-Wt Grand Sonnerie, in a 2^nd Baroque walnut case, and with original pattern on dial center, weights and pendulum. The well made Viennese movement has an oversize dial, cream colored, with fancy red wreath decorations. The movement bears serial number 3833, with coiled wire gongs, and strikes the hours and quarters. Note the movement is raised in the case back on an old block that has been there from the start {no extra holes}. By this point in time, case makers would have worked in advance and made the cases a little extra deep to accommodate whatever movement depth the Uhrmacher came up with. The walnut case has a few nicks and scrapes, but is overall very good with lots of "look". Ht 58" $2500--$3500

425.  C.1900, Austrian, J. Salfer, 30-Day 1-wt, walnut timepiece. This is a great looking clock that apparently had the movement changed around 1950; there are 6 small veneer patches in the back, behind the movement, and done long ago and quite dirty, where another set of metal corbels and a pendulum hanger were mounted. This movement, seat board and corbels appear to have been together from the start. You have to make some allowances, as Joh. Salfer was a clockmaker of great repute, and the workmanship on the movement is exceptional. The porcelain dial center has been cleaned by someone who didn't realize that the second bit was painted on the porcelain, but not fired in, so half is missing {the chapter is fired in and xlnt}. The bob is lead filled and no dents; stick never broken. A large and impressive clock. Ht 74" $3,500--$4,500

426.  C.1910, Dutch, Mini Sterling Tall Case, with 24K gold wash. These silver cases were made in Holland and imported by Harris & Harrington {H+H stamp on case}. Has a 19^th century key wound watch movement, signed Luth. Freres, Locle with mono metallic balance. The dial has several hairlines and a chip at 6, however the central village scene is intact; minute hand replaced. Ht 10.5" $1,050--$1,250

427.  C.1890, French, Giant Figural clock, a young boy holding a ball in his hands, the ball with a quality time and strike movement, the statue and ball restored by Charles Carrick. This clock suffered some damage on the way back from Mr. Carricks, and one of the "ropes" cracked between the boys hand and the ball. It has not separated, and has had a drop of paint applied to the wound, and if you are careful it will provide many years of enjoyment. The movement has been cleaned and is running and striking fine. Ht 23" $1,500--$1,800

428.  C.1905 , German, Junghans, "Onion Boy" Swinger clock in very nice condition. The statute looks to retain its original patina and no evidence of any breaks or repairs. The dial is perfect and the hands are original. Ht. 15" $1,000--$1,500

429.  C.1894, Ansonia, "Swing No. 2", in good as-found condition, except the doll is a reproduction {properly made and pleasant colors}. The original paper dial is very good with only minor discoloration due to age. Hands are original. Ht 8" $900--$1,200

430.  C.1894, Ansonia, "Jumper No. 1" in nice restored condition, with proper reproduction doll. The original dial is excellent. Top cast trim is bent but not broken. Ht 15" $900--$1,200

431.  C.1894, Ansonia, "Jumper No. 2" in very good restored condition. The original paper dial is very good. The reproduction doll is a proper replacement. Ht 14.5" $800--$1,100

432.  C.1890, French, FOUNTAIN figural clock, bronzed spelter, and in excellent condition. Note this is the self same model that Henry Davies copied to offer in the Ansonia line up. Davies reduced his production cost by casting the entire subject of metal and omitting the onyx base seen here. This is one of half dozen French models in the sale that Ansonia copied without license. Ht 22" $900--$1,200

433.  C.1898, Wm. L. Gilbert, "ARCHER" figural clock, 8-day, time and strike, and in excellent restored condition. Not to be outdone by Ansonia, Gilbert copied their own series of French figures. See next lot, with the French title "L'Amour", far more exotic a title than Archer. Note also that in 1902, Gilbert offered the same statue on a simpler base, calling it William Tell. Like Ansonia, Gilbert's statues were interchangeable on bases, but they chose to name the entire clock, rather than X base with Y statue. Ht 32" $1,000--$1,500

434.  C.1890, French "L'AMOUR" {Cassavetti}, a winged archer on a red marble base and with a quality French striking movement, the whole in excellent condition. A large & impressive clock. See previous lot for comments on "American knock offs". Ht 32" $1,000--$1,500

435.  C.1850, Howard & Davis, No. 4 Banjo in generally good condition. The bottom tablet has been properly re-gilded {throat is original}. The dial signature is worn off, and no evidence remains. Has proper signed H & D movement, with proper weight and pendulum {has nice pattern on bob}. Best part of this clock is the original rosewood graining, still intact under original finish. Ht 32" $2,000--$2,500

436.  C.1885, Seth Thomas "REGULATOR No. 1" in nice restored condition. This clock has the large cut pinion movement, 4¼ X 5¼" plates and maintaining power. The veneer has some bubbles on the sides of the bottom and some minor repairs, but is overall attractive and nicely refinished. The dial was professionally repainted some time ago and with some age. The best pat of this clock is the original presentation tablet: "PRESENTED TO A. L. NICKERSON, BY FRIENDS, 1885" Also with nickel plated pendulum bob with damascene pattern. The hook for the weight got damaged, however a proper replacement is available from Timesavers.com, catalog #12183, for $2.75. Ht 34" $1,400--$1,800

437.  C.1837, [dated] Vulliamy, London STRIKING TOWER CLOCK movement in generally good as-found condition, needing some restoration. This is a nice rafter frame clock, out of the workshop of Benjamin Vulliamy, with serial number 1107, and dated 1837 on the pilot dial. The fan governor for the strike side is partly gone and will need restoration. The meter pendulum is a makeshift that allows the clock to tick, but needs a proper wooden stick replacement. With two old cannon balls as weights, also assorted parts, one motion assembly, one hand and pulleys. Repaired by H. C. Butterfield of Croydon in the 20^th century {with a brass plaque attest} Width = 20", height 16" $1,500--$2,000

438.  C.1830, English, Joseph Davie, London, 2-fusee bracket clock, given as a presentation piece in 1916 in appreciation of the "House of Eidlets", and with the names of 32 persons who contributed to the donation. The engraved brass plaque with above info is inside the bottom of the case; 4 holes in front panel where it mounted. Strikes the hours on a large bell. Needs a little TLC, a new bell standard, a pendulum tie down screw, and cleaning. The side frets fell out and have been secured with a newer piece of mahogany; case lacks 2 rear feet, and has a wood substitute; dial has 3 large chips. Again, all of these problems can be dealt with. Clock is in running order. See Brittens, Joseph Davie worked 1823 59 at 201 High Holborn, London. Ht 17.5" $1,000--$2,000

439.  C.1900, French crystal regulator, 8-day time & strike, in an oval case with 3 bands of multi color enamel decoration going around the case, and in very good original condition. The things that keeps this from being excellent are a fine hairline across the porcelain dial, from 10 to 6, and a chip in the front glass, top right corner. Otherwise it is a clean and well made clock in good running order. The clock has its original mercury pendulum, also with enamel decorations top and bottom. Ht. 10.25" $700--$900

440.  C.1900, French, Marti & Cie., fancy crystal regulator, 8-day time & strike. This large brass and applied ormolu clock is in very nice condition. The knob to the front door is missing, but is easily repaired. One of the beveled glass side panels is chipped in the corner {not noticeable}. The polychrome decorated porcelain dial is perfect and the hands are original. The ormolu mount on top has musical themes: a set of bagpipes, a mandolin, a torch , a wreath and two doves. With original, large mercury pendulum. Ht. 16" $900--$1,200

441.  C.2002, Wayne Cline, Bowling Green, KY, 8-day Willard Lighthouse, mantel timepiece. This is a very pretty reproduction of these famous clocks. The mahogany case is in excellent condition with applied mountings and paw feet. The well made 8-day weight movement has a drop-off strike with a porcelain dial, and bears the Cline information on both the rear plate and on the dial. A thorough reference to these clocks may be seen in Palmers A Treasury of American Clocks, pages 52 54, including, a photo copy of his original advertisement for the clock, from Roxbury, dated August 10, 1822. Mr. Cline has won awards in several of Nawcc's crafts contests, and there is always a waiting list for his clocks. Ht. 33" $4,500--$5,500

442.  C.1975, Swiss, Reuge Music Co, St. Croix, singing bird box in an imitation lapis and gold plated case. The case maker apparently found a combination of enamels that has the appearance of blue lapis with white/silver specs. This bird sings crisply and loudly and is sure to please you. We sold one of these in October 2001 for $1500+. W= 4½" Ht 2". $900--$1,200

443.  C.1927, Chelsea Clock Co., "8½" Ships Bell with Black Dial". The clock bears serial number 178304. It has a hinged bezel with button latch.

The statue of Charmeuse, after an original by Moreau {signed} with original bronzed finish and all fingers and toes intact. Note the 2 gilded birds, one on her hand, and a second below her feet.

Otherwise complete and sound and with a nice early canister style clock arm in running order. Ht 25" $2,400--$2,800

Ht 25.5" $2,450--$2,850

445.  C.1890, Ansonia, Huntress Swing, with tin can style arm, and in good condition. The rear dust cover is a replacement; the paper dial has a water stain showing with a light brown line across from 4 to 8. Otherwise, this is a good old swinger with original finish on the statue and a good look. Movement is signed with proper Ansonia insignia. Ht 24.5" $2,600--$3,200

446.  C.1890, French, "Ship s Quarter Deck" Automata clock from the Industrial Series. The bronze and silvered case is in the form of a ship s quarter deck, set with a binnacled compass and a sailor with a coil of rope, another at the helm, the whole on a stepped black marble base on gilt brass feet. The two train signed French movement, for which the rocking helmsman forms the compound pendulum, strikes on a coiled gong. The helmsman rocks back and forth with each tick. Minute hand is replaced {looks OK}. For reference see Sotheby s Meraux sale {6-28-93}, lot 15, this same model sold for $13,225. pictured in Derek Roberts book: Mystery Novelty & Fantasy Clocks, [1999], page 265, fig 22-27, and on the inside rear cover leaf, Mr. Roberts is setting at his desk with one of these clocks. Height 12½" $7,000--$9,000

446a.  C,1883 {dated}, French, Industrial Series, "LOCK", timepiece, with a compass at top. This is an interesting presentation item, given to a couple on their 25^th wedding anniversary. We repeat the poem and inscription here: "Life is a river and man is a boat, and over its surface is destined to float. And joy is a cargo that's easily stored, and he is a fool that takes sorrow on board. From Sam Smithson to his dear cousins, Mr. & Mrs Gustav Aichter, on their Silver Wedding, July 5^th, 1883. May progressive years bring increased happiness". The well made round movement, numbered 5036, with a jeweled lever platform in working order. The dial with the name of the retailer: J. Fattorini, Paris. Ht 7" $900--$1,200

447.  C.1870, French, Annular Dial Clock, a 4 sided ormolu base rising to an urn, the time and minute dials rotating in the center of the urn, and the time indicated by a serpents tongue. This clock has been recently restored, and the 2 dials appear to be new {very well done, with individual chevron numerals}. The movement has been cleaned and is in running order; has an interesting hidden hand inside the winding door, to make the task of setting the time easier. Has interesting frieze panels of 19^th century hunting scenes with dogs and hunters on horseback. Ht 15" $6,500--$7,500

448.  C.2001, Wayne Cline, 8-day timepiece miniature in the style of a Howard No. 70 regulator, in walnut. This pretty little clock is one of several designs made by Cline. The case follows the Howard design exactly, only half the size. The whole clock is super quality right down to the miniature latches for the doors. The timepiece has a No. 41 stamped inside the case and the serial No. C4512101 on the back {'01 is the year}. These small clocks are always in demand, and we are fortunate to have a selection of Cline clocks in today's sale. Ht 15.25" $600--$700

449.  C.1840, French, Le Roy, Paris, 8-day time/strike mantel clock. This is a beautiful figural clock, with original bronze and bright yellow ormolu; excellent quality figure and mounts. Note the theme: a courtier sending a love letter off to his beloved via pigeon {letter in birds beak} . The case houses a nicely restored silk suspension movement, with period pendulum Ht. 17.5" $1,000--$1,500

450.  C.1889, E. N. Welch Mfg Co., "Khedive", 8-day time/strike mantel clock. This clock was one the "Patti" series produced by Welch. The oak case retains its original finish, nicely waxed. This clock has a visible escapement with a Patti movement. The porcelain dial is cracked on the inner center section {seriously}, while the outer chapter ring is perfect. You might try one of the porcelain repair outfits that advertise in the magazine "Clocks", and also in the Mart. The beveled door glass and the lower glass are perfect. The lower glass has a beveled edge; these glasses came with and without a gold geometric border, and this one is without. For reference, see Ly's Welch book, page 151-B, items 291 294. The hands and pendulum are original. About 50% of a label on the back. Ht. 17.5" $900--$1,200

451.  C.1900, French, Brass Cased Carriage Clock, time, strike and repeat, the column case with an engraved and silvered overlay mask surrounding the dial. The dial signed C. W. Schumann & Sons, New York. Retains original silvered lever platform {now oxidized}, and runs and strikes, but would benefit from service. All beveled glass is good, and the movement numbered 2432. Note the carry handle is a fancy multi-piece job and the threads have stripped on one side and will need attention. Height 7¼" $900--$1200

452.  C.1900, French Brass Cased carriage clock, time, strike & repeat. This is an especially nice case with twisted and beaded columns, as well as top and bottom of case (use a glass on photo to see detail), and the same pattern repeated on the handle. Silvered dial retains Arabic numerals. Note original lever platform is intact with good staff, but has over-banked and needs attn (no parts required); otherwise xlnt; 7.5" $750--$1000

453.  C.1900, French, Vincenti, for Shreve, Crump & Low, Oval Crystal Regulator in very good to excellent original condition. The only minor item of note is the worn retailer's signature on the dial. Otherwise this is a very clean clock with oversize 2-vial mercury pendulum, fancy dial with polychrome decorations, surrounded by a finely cast engine turned bezel, and with original hands. Strikes the hours and halves on a coiled wire gong. Ht 11" $750--$1,000

454.  20^th Century, French Crystal regulator, oversize, with bronze statue. This clock was made maybe 20 years ago for public display in a large foyer. It has an early twentieth century movement with open escapement on the dial. The case has large full round Corinthian columns and a heavy marble top and bottom {it takes two people to move it anywhere}. The brass uprights have inset pearls every inch, and the bezel is inset with brilliants. The decorative pendulum was made for the clock and has zinc inserts in clear glass tubes. The figure on top {guard} is in 16^th century armor and with a lance in his right hand, and is removable for shipment. The front beveled glass has a one inch crack near the bezel that is not too noticeable. If you like large items, this may appeal to you. Ht 46" $1,500--$2,000

455.  C.1900, Austrian, Gebrüder Resch, Small 2-weight regulator with 5.5" dial, and in good condition with some bits restored. The left column came unglued and has been attached with a nail through the center {could be cleaned up}. The dial is in good condition, the center signed by the retailer: "Franz Angerel, Schladming". The numbers on the bracket, movement and pendulum match [#45494]. Center bottom finial is lacking. Ht 34" $700--$900

456.  A C.2000, Biedermeier case, with an original Viennese 1-wt movement. This is a good looking clock; note flying buttress bottom that is copied directly from an 1825 original. There are some minor nicks and scrapes to the case which can be easily touched up. The old weight needs polishing. The steel rod pendulum is a copy of a period example. This clock is even better looking in person than the foto. An original clock would sell for $4500. Ht 46" $1,750--$2,250

457.  A C.2000, Laterndluhr case, with an original Viennese 3-wt grand Sonnerie movement. The steel rod pendulum is a copy of a period example. The fit and finish on this case are superb; the coloring and dense pattern on the crotch mahogany veneer are exceptional. The hood, center and bottom panes all come off in the same fashion as an original. The well made movement has a one piece porcelain dial; cast brass bezel with engine turned pattern, and a separate gong standard for the 2 gongs. This is a seat board mount on 2 wooden corbils. Originals in this condition sell for $25,000. Ht 40" $4000--$6000

458.  A C.2000 Serpentine Case of Outstanding quality, with a period Viennese 3-weight movement, dial signed: V. Hainz, Praze. The 7-rod grid pendulum is a copy of an old one. The rosewood veneer work on this case is to the highest standard [wish I knew the fellow]. The originals of this clock, with slight variations are shown in 2 books: 1> Vienna Regulators and Factory Clocks, by Ortenburger, page 84 and in color on the rear cover. 2> Viennese Timepieces by Fred. Kaltenböck, page 216, figure 480. Alvin Kahn sold one of these originals in 1991 for $6500. Ht 49" $2,750--$3,750

459.  A C.2000 Biedermeier Style Inlaid Case of very nice quality, with a period 3-weight Grand Sonnerie movement by W. Schönberger, Wien {signed on dial}. The original of this case is pictured in Viennese Timepieces by Fred. Kaltenböck, page 217, figure 482. Note the carved soldiers at the top right and left on the door. The carved floral top, finials and bottom piece are each carved by a master, out of one piece of wood. The quality of the inlay is exceptional; the well made movement of typical Schönberger quality. The original, if offered, would sell for approximately $12,000. Ht 54" $4,000--$5,000

460.  C.1894, Ansonia, CABINET ANTIQUE, with French sash and fancy dial with individual chevron numerals {all intact}. It does appear that a couple of the top finials may have been restored or replaced, however the clock is generally in good original condition with excellent original finish. The brass trimmings have a couple coats of old gold paint, but we'd probably leave it as is rather than try to clean it off. A model that is hard to find in good condition. Ht 20" $1,500--$1,800

461.  C.1943, Charles Alva Smith, Brattleboro, VT, 8-day wooden works wall clock. This is no. 491, and dated Sept. 1944. The tiger maple case is in good original condition with the original pendulum, weight and counter weight. There is a chip in the case along the lower margin, and the pendulum stick has been glued together {still looks OK} Note also that this retains the original angled wall bracket for hanging the clock. Mr. Smith was an eccentric individual who started making these clocks as gifts to friends, and when they were so well received, switched to selling them. See also lot 306. Ht. of case 12.50", as pictured 25" $350--$550

462.  C.1895, Ansonia, Large Cast Pedestal for a lamp or swing clock. Note the fancy feet which are cast faces. This pedestal is 5 inches taller than the next 2 pedestals and is heavier as well. Ht 41" $500--$750

463.  C.1895, Ansonia, Large Cast Pedestal for a lamp or swing clock. Mr. Semegran used this and the next lot to hold the pair of gas lamps selling as lot 465. Since there are so many varied uses for these, we figured it best to sell them separately from the lamps. This lot and lot 464 came out of the Hilt estate in Nebraska. Ht 36" $500--$750

464.  C.1895, Ansonia, Large Cast Pedestal for a lamp or swing clock. This is the mate to previous lot, except the top plate is a little bent from an old fall {Mike had a slip of cardboard under one side of the lamp he placed on it}. This is a minor defect, not noticeable in the foto, but we want to point it out. Ht 36" $500--$750

465.  C.1895, Ansonia, Pair of Gas Lamps with new globes. These have always been lamps and are not conversions; the gas tubing and valves are original; the glass shades are replacements. The male is holding a water jug fresh from the well, and the lady is holding a water pitcher. This is a large and impressive set of statues; never been any attempt to paint nor restore the statues. Total height 38" $1200--$1800

466.  C.1890, French, Rare Mantle Clock with Gutta Purcha molded vines and floral display. The dome is setting rear left of clock to allow clear image. Note the basic case is ebonized wood, and only the vines and flowers are of gutta purcha. The dome is perfect and the entire assembly is in very good original condition. Ht of clock 12", total ht with dome 16" $300--$400

467.  C.1904, Ansonia Clock Co., "CYMRIC & No. 1174", in very good restored condition. The statue and base have been restored by Charles Carrick. The iron base retains original faux red marble enamel over iron {waxed}. Clock has a good porcelain dial and original hands. Ht 23" $800--$1200

468.  C.1880, Ansonia DUET, small cast novelty with dog and cat and in very good original condition. Dial is excellent. Movement is complete, but gummy and is not ticking. A hard to find model. Ht 5.5" $350--$550

469.  C.1894, Ansonia "MECHANICAL CLOCK", in generally good restored condition. Mike had a new ships wheel cast, as the original sheet brass one had deteriorated. The new one is cast from tinned lead and is a bit too heavy to perform properly. The clock is otherwise complete and sound. For details, see Ly Ansonia book {1998}, page 363, figure 1380. Ht 18.5" $900--$1,200

470.  C.1910, Unknown American Crystal Regulator case, with a Waterbury movement that appears to fit properly, now with a French swinging doll pendulum. The case is quite interesting with Baroque styling and a Bombay bottom, and reverse curved and beveled glass to fit the shape. The case could be Waterbury, but we were unable to verify it. Ht 13.25" $375--$475

471.  C.1890, Ansonia, CHIPPENDALE, in very good original condition with a good rear label. Although there is some wear to the gilt and painted pattern on the faux leather inserts, it is overall in great shape. Ht 18.5" $375--$475

472.  C.1904, Ansonia Clock Co., ALHAMBRA, in good original condition, complete with hard rubber dial with open escapement, and with a clean label on the rear. A very nice example of this model. Ht 18" $800--$1000

472a.  C.1850, Chauncey Jerome, New Haven, CT, 30-hour fusee-spring movement mantel clock in an unusual paper mache and ebonized wood case. The signed movement is intact and even has complete Geneva stops. The hands are original and the metal dial has original paint, though there is a dent, a repair around the center hole and the numerals have been strengthened. These could all be improved. The case is complete with piece and piece of wood about 6 inches long and 3/8" wide missing from the rounded top of the case near the back. The mother-of-pearl on the decorative front is all present, though much of the gilt decoration is worn away. The base of the case was plain originally, but a gilt decoration has been added (there is no hole beneath, so there was never a small bezel and glass). The cast brass dial bezel is complete, though it needs a flat glass. Ht. 14" $300--$400

473.  C.1905, French ELECTROLIER, "Lulli" in good original condition. Note this is the same statue as "Melody", but is French and with foreign bulbs and No cord. A good piece for the lighting collector. Ht 27" $600--$900

474.  C.1900, French, Fancy Crystal regulator with 4 full cut glass columns and domed top. This case is identical to the Ansonia "Utopia" {may have been the very model that Ansonia copied in producing their model}. The only small flaw that keeps this from being excellent is a hairline in the dial; there is some wear to the gilding and some minor oxidation on brass as well. See also next lot. The glass is all good. Ht 16.5" $900--$1,400

474a.  C.1905, French, Fancy Crystal regulator with profuse enamelling, and with brilliant sash and pendulum. The brass case has been polished and lacquered. A minor item is the missing F/S rod above 12 {some workman get frustrated with the rod, others simply forget to put it in it does not affect the operation}. Has a fancy porcelain dial with polychrome decorations and the case is really quite eye catching. Note similarities to lot 474. Ht 16" $2,250--$2,750

475.  C.1904, Ansonia SYBIL & SUMMER, in good as-found condition. Movement is sound, and with good porcelain dial. This clock and statue sold new for $45. Ht 24" $900--$1,200

476.  C.1900, Ansonia Clock Co., ATHENIAN, in very good original condition. This model has a one piece, oversize porcelain dial {in xlnt condition}. Steve Sadowski bought this clock from a home in Harlem, where it had stood on the mantel since new. Her grandmother must have paid the published retail price of $32.50 when new. Ht 17" $600--$800

477.  C.1870, Ansonia Brass & Copper Co., DROP EXTRA, Calendar, with Wm. A. Terry patent calendar with the month showing through the pie shaped crescent in the dial, pointer for days of the week. W. Terry was the grandson of Samuel; he later became a prominent photographer and never worked with clocks again. Many of this model suffer from veneer problems, but this one is really outstanding in that regard, although the case has been nicely refinished. Has good tablet and decent label inside. A great looking clock, ready to enjoy. Ht 26" $900--$1,200

478.  C.1904, American, Pair of Garniture Statues, FISHER & FALCONER, in good original condition, except for the missing catch [3 fish] from the fishers right hand; they were held on by a little twisted wire, and there is wear in his hand to show where they were originally; note there are 3 fish hanging from the top of his fishing spear. Note also this hexagonal base is not Ansonia. It is likely that most of these castings {for all clock companies} were done by Mitchell Vance & Co of New York, and these bases were simply for another firm. Ht 20" $400--$600

479.  C.1910, Ansonia, ELECTOLIER No. 8 "Lotus", in nice restored condition. There is one leaf missing along the top. The whole lamp has been re-bronzed, and the wiring, sockets and lamps are modern so that the lamp can be used. Please satisfy yourself as to its safety before using. See Ly book, #446, page 143, these are very uncommon; I believe our estimate is appropriate for 2003. Ht 19.5" $900--$1,200

480.  C.1905, German, Lenzkirch, Electrolier & Clock, in excellent original condition. The movement is a small 8-day unit with short pivoted pendulum, and with Lenzkirch trademark and serial number on the rear plate. The finish on the Art Nouveau metal case appears to be original, and with contrasting bronzed white metal figures. Complete with cord and light bulbs {please check it out on your own before plugging it in, we can only attest that the clock ticks}. This should certainly attract attention from the antique lighting collectors. Ht 20" $500--$700

481.  C.1904, French, "Fleur de Lys & No. 1175" {Rose}, with restoration. The base retains original Art Nouveau color scheme {with some wear}, while the statue of Rose has been re-bronzed. Note that the bottom sounding board, gong and pendulum are missing. The estimate reflects these missing items. Movement is complete but needs cleaning. Ht 24.5" $600--$800

482.  C.1900, French Criterion, spelter and marble mantel clock in very good original condition. Look at this clock and the next clock and you will see that American case makers copied French designs with little or no alteration. The main case is red onyx, with applied spelter trim. The fancy dial has a spray of flowers below 12. Overall a nice clock. Ht 17" $700--$900

483.  C.1904, Ansonia Criterion, spelter and marble mantel clock in very good condition. Note similarity to the French version, lot 482 {and also see lot 49, which has a broken top}. With green onyx inserts in the base and top. Retains original hands and cream colored porcelain dial in good condition. Ht 16.75 $600--$900

484.  C.1904, Ansonia "INDIANA & MIGNON -#1050", in generally good condition. This clock sold new for $53.50 in 1904. The statue was professionally refinished by Charles Carrick; the black iron base was repainted with a brush {looks OK, but you can see the brush marks when up close}. Still a large and impressive clock. For additional information, see Ly, #1481, page 382. Has large open escapement movement with gilt brass dial and original hands. Also note that this Indiana iron base is heavier and more durable than the similar Florida base, plus has inset scenes on each side. Ht 27" $2,000--$3,000

485.  C.1900, Ansonia "Bijou", in excellent restored condition. This is an attractive clock, the clock held aloft by two cherubs {a boy and girl}, and with a third child on the metal frieze between them. With a fancy porcelain dial with red trim and open escapement. Ht 14.75" $400--$600

486.  C.1904, Ansonia "FLEUR DE LYS &No 1176", in very good original condition, except for a missing rear bezel & door {accordingly, the movement is loose in the case}. But notice the original "Art Nouveau" finish on the statue {silver gown}, and the muted tones on the flowers. See also next lot; these Nouveau finishes were optional on virtually all of the figural clocks, starting with the 1904 catalog. This is a very interesting figure, the lady with sea shells in her hair, standing between a water lily and a sea shell, and the base with iris, moss rose and other bladed plants. Ht 24" $600--$900

487.  C.1904, Ansonia "CYMRIC & No 1178 Orchid" in excellent original condition. Note that the catalog clearly offers the painted "Art Nouveau" finish as an option on figural clocks. It is nice to see some of these models so well preserved with this painted finish. We are curious if anyone has attempted to restore this type of finish on a figural clock, and what types of paint they have used. Ht 24.5" $750--$1,000

488.  C.1904, Ansonia "CYMRIC & No 1175-Rose", in very good restored condition. This clock sold new for $35. This model has a green onyx base; retains good movement and xlnt dial. Note the statue has been refinished by C. Carrick to match the base and feet. Ht 24.5" $750--$1,000

489.  C.1904, Ansonia OLYMPIA & CHLORIS, figural clock in generally good condition. This particular clock has been sprayed gold and then varnished over, so may need some addition attention. Note also there is a small chip in the porcelain dial at 9, and this particular clock has Ansonia's 8-day lever movement. This clock sold for $50 in 1904. Ht 25" $1,500--$2,000

489a.  C.1918, Chelsea Clock Co., Boston, MA. 8-day engine room timepiece made for the U. S. Navy and so engraved on the 8" diameter silvered brass dial. Heavy polished brass case which has been mounted on mahogany stand. Running. Serial number 123842, shipped in 1918 [as verified in Demeter's Chelsea book]; a small handwritten note on the back of the stand indicates a ship date of 11-2-18. A nice early 20^th century Navy piece; note unusual configuration with seconds bit at 6, and winding arbor at 12. Diameter of case back 10.5" Ht. with stand 12.5" $500--$750

489b.  C.1885. Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, CT. 8-day striking "St. Paul" model city series shelf clock with alarm. This clock has a very well refinished walnut and burl walnut case. It has a good black and gilt label in the case bottom. It has its original paper dial, with some wear, and "ST" hands. It also retains a superb original mirrored pendulum bob. A very nice example of this model, with a good black and gold label in the bottom. Ht. 21" $500--$700

490.  C.1905, Ansonia EULOGY, fancy crystal regulator in excellent restored condition. The detailed spelter top and bottom were restored by Charles Carrick to a medium bronze color and is quite striking. This model sold new for $47.50 in 1905. Ht 19.5" $750--$1,000

491.  C.1900, French for the English market, carved walnut reclining lions, with an 8-day lever clock between them. Note the movement has a new Swiss platform. Good quality carving and a very eye catching piece. Ht 12" $750--$1,000

492.  C.1895, Ansonia CABINET B, in oak with original finish and in excellent condition except for the replaced brass bezel. Otherwise this is a great looking clock with all of the brass bits intact and quite impressive. Ht 18" $800--$1,200

493.  Mixed lot: C.1895 Ansonia DIANA statue, now with a recent Chinese swinging arm, made to deceive, with Ansonia trademark stamp on the movement. The statue is in nice condition and the arm is a remarkable copy of an Ansonia and seems to run. If original, this would be worth around $4500. Ht 30" $1,000--$1,250

493a.  C.1895, French, Brise d' Automne /A. Moreau {Medaille d' Or}, bronzed spelter swinging mystery timepiece, in very good to excellent original condition. Has great patina on the statue with no repairs, and the long clock arm in dark forest green with bright ormolu accents. Seems to run OK. Ht 29.75" $2,900--$3,400

494.  C.1905, Ansonia, EAGLE, watch holder and watch in generally good condition, but missing the crystal. Also the second hand is missing. {The dial is good} This is an elegant model with brilliants all around the bezel of the watch. The eagle retains original finish with no breaks nor repairs, and on original onyx base, also in good shape. When new, this sold for $13. Ht 8.5" $500--$750

494a.  C.1780, Austrian, Complicated Mantel clock, grand sonnerie, with moon phase, day of week and date on subsidiary dials. This is a one day+ clock, but is very well made, with standing barrels for the strike and a fusee for the time train. It retains its original crown verge with rear balance wheel and cock intact. It strikes on two silver bells {original}, counting the quarters on a higher pitched bell than the hours. It has a large engraved brass dial mask, a sentry at each side and profuse scrolls and flowers on the remainder. There are some minor losses and repairs, but nothing major; the clock is running and striking. The movement has a dust cover with side doors, and would have originally had an additional wooden protective case. Still a great piece of antiquity. Ht 9" $1,400--$1,800

494b.  C.1870, French, Napoleon III, Fanciful Bronze clock, 8-day time and strike, with open escapement on the dial and in good original condition. The only item that keeps this from being excellent is a missing grommet in the right dial hole. The well made bell strike movement has countwheel strike, and is unsigned. The case is complete and sound with no losses nor repairs. This is an especially attractive clock, sure to complement any French décor. Ht 21" $1,100--$1,400

495.  C.1750, Austrian, M. Bentwe, in Wien, quarter strike, crown verge bracket clock, with restorations. Originally this 3-train clock struck quarters, plus had an English style pull quarter repeat, and those parts are absent. It now strikes and repeats on 2 bells, a high tone heard on the quarters only and on the hour, 4 high tones, followed by the hour on a deeper bell. The movement runs for 56 hours {2+days}, and has fusees on the time and quarter train, and a standing barrel on the hour train. The case has met with significant restoration; the front door and base appear to be recent. Although there is now a red mahogany finish on the case, it would certainly been ebonized originally. The dial itself is magnificent, well engraved, with unusual north-wind spandrels, mock pendulum aperture, calendar aperture above 6, moon phase in the arch, plus levers for strike/no strike and repeat/no repeat on either side. The hands are nicely pierced with fine detail. A lot of antiquity for the money. Ht 20" $1,500--$2,000

496.  C.1839, E. C. Brewster, Bristol, Conn., 8-day time/strike double deck shelf clock. The refinished mahogany case is in very nice condition with some veneer loss on the base, the section above the bottom door and just below the carved crest. The two painted tablets are new but done on old glass. The center section is usually found with a mirror. This rather rare model has a rack striking brass movement stamped "No. 5186". The dial has been repainted on the original dial blank. The nicely turned feet appear to be new. The columns are veneered with highly figured mahogany. Note the movement is clean and running, however at some previous date had some solder splashed on it from nearby work [no evidence of solder repair to movement]; this is only a cosmetic problem. Ht. 38" $600--$800

497.  C.1895, Boston Clock Co, Figural clock of Rip Van Winkle. This case has been restored with gold paint. The movement has been cleaned and is in good running/striking order. The fancy tu-tone porcelain dial has raised white cartouche for the numerals; the cream colored field has some hairlines. Serial #11899. The Rip Van Winkle chapter has the sister to this clock, gold plated, and mounted to a board, that they bring to each chapter meeting. Ht 14.5" $500--$750

498.  C.1906, Crosby Steam Gage & Valve Co, Boston, recording steam gauge, serial #4379, with original Chelsea lever movement, clean and in good running order. This is a well made recorder, the heavy red brass case with a hinged bezel & button latch. Included one original graph in place. Time movement is operative. 8-day movement is wound when you change the graph paper. Note we have spelled Gage exactly as it appears on the clock. Diameter = 10.5" $500--$700

499.  C.1843, Ephraim Camp, Salem Bridge, Conn., 8-day time/strike, 2-weight shelf clock. The refinished mahogany veneer case is in nice restored condition, exceptions noted. The veneer on the base and area around the lower door have been replaced. The three glasses are original with touchup to the paint. This is an unusual case as one normally finds these with a cornice top and not a carved crest. This original crest needs to be moved from its current position on the front to the top of the case. The top side returns are replacements, and could be improved. The bottom of the case has had holes cut to allow the weights to fall their full length {done long ago}; our guess is that the original short weights got lost and clock needed the extra inch to make 7 full days running. The movement has been cleaned and is complete and sound. Ht 32.5" $1,000--$1,500

500.  C.1910, French, 8-day time/strike/calendar marble mantel clock. This is a very pretty Egyptian Revival case of contrasting marble. There have been repairs to the marble along the top edge and a small chip on the one edge of the peak and. The porcelain dial is perfect and hands are original. The beveled door glass is also perfect. The feet on the bottom appear to have been added later. What is very nice and unusual about this clock is it has a day & date calendar on the dial. Movement serial #2547. Ht. 13.25" $300--$500

501.  C.1850, Chauncey Jerome, New Haven, 30 hour cottage timepiece in good original condition. This is a typical upside down arrangement, with the pendulum suspended from the top of the case, and the verge extending upward from its saddle. The movement is seat board mounted. There are some flakes on the floral tablet, especially top right corner, but it is quite nice overall. The original dial has a couple of flakes, but is overall excellent with good legible signature. The hands are original. Case retains much of its original finish, but has been wire wooled and waxed. Ht 12" $250--$350

502.  C.1890, Austrian, 1-Wt, Regulator, in a simple pediment style case of walnut veneer, and in generally very good condition. The dial center got cracked and has been filled & painted with white paint. The 5.5" chapter ring is OK. The movement is complete and sound and the clock is running. This is an attractive small size clock. The case with a stenciled model #4549. Ht 36" $500--$750

503.  C.1900, Austrian, 3-Wt Grand Sonnerie wall clock with meter [seconds] pendulum. This is a very large clock of oak and oak veneers and with ripple moldings around all of the glass. The dial, weights and pendulum all with matched engraving. This clock would have been made to match someone's parlor suite, as it is custom made throughout, and with a heavy door lock and key such as would have been found on a large sideboard or armoire. Although it has not been serviced in a while, the movement is relatively clean and is running and striking the quarter hours properly. Ht 82" $2,750--$3,250

504.  C.1900, Austrian, A. Gaisbauer, Wien, 30-Day timepiece in a walnut case. This is a large meter pendulum regulator. Someone has added a gilt carving C.1820, which might look great on a piece of Biedermeier furniture. If you hold something over the image, you will see it actually looks better without the top. The movement is well made, with 5 wheels in the train {winds to the left}, and is certain to be enjoyed by someone looking for a large and accurate wall regulator. Is running briskly. Ht without top = 66"; height with top, 82" $2,500--$3,000

505.  C.1880, Austrian, 3-Wt Full Column, Grand Sonnerie regulator. This is a large and impressive walnut clock. There are 4 old filled holes visible beneath the cast iron mounting bracket, evidence of a former movement of the same proportions. Aside from these 4 small dots, this is otherwise a good old clock with lots of eye appeal and certain to bring a new owner much satisfaction. The top and finials are original; top looks a bit darker in foto due to uneven flash. Melodious rod strike, old pulleys, hands and a matched set of weights complement this clock; well made 72 beat movement of Viennese origin, unsigned. Ht 62" $2,000--$2,500

506.  C.1890, French, Windmill Automaton. This clock has two separately wound movements. The first, a time only movement that drives the hands, and a second that is tripped on the hour to strike on a bell. The center arbor of the strike movement is extended to hold the fan of the windmill, and the fan turns during the strike process, and stops when the striking is completed. The tower had a placard below the doors with the name Moulin Joly. This is an especially nice example of this model. Height 16" $2,450--$2,850

507.  C.1911, New Haven Clock Co., "Saturn", 8-day wall timepiece. This timepiece is in original unrestored condition; has a few white paint drips on the side where the wall was painted with the clock in place. The case retains its original worn finish with losses on the bezel. The original paper dial has soiled areas and there is wear around the winding arbor. The hands and both glasses are original. This timepiece is usually found with a weight driven movement, although the 30 day spring was an option too. The 8-day spring movement is very unusual. Also with original rear label identifying the model, and indicating "8-Day". Still a worthwhile clock. Ht. 35.5" $400--$600

508.  C.1880, Ithaca Calendar Clock Co., HANGING LIBRARY, in generally good condition. Although not pristine, this is a pretty good clock with original dial and rollers [some losses on paper rollers]. The pendulum is an old replacement and lacks a rating nut; replacement hands are a bit heavy. The walnut case was refinished a long time ago and has aged nicely. Not a bad example of this model, and better hands are available from Timesavers.com. Ht 25.5" $500--$700

509.  C.1890, Ansonia QUEEN ELIZABETH, in walnut and in generally good restored condition. Note the case has been refinished and needs a little heavier coat of finish applied. The dial has been papered over with the wrong size numerals and a rub on insignia. Hands, pendulum, gong standard and all case hardware are original and proper. Some TLC will improve this clock. Would be $1200 if all original. Ht 37" $600--$800

510.  C.1904, Ansonia HECTOR figural clock in good condition, except for missing wings on his helmet. The original movement is dirty but complete and sound. The finish on the base is somewhat more worn than the finish on the statue, which has nice patina. Ht 18" $600--$900

511.  C.1906, Ansonia FOUNTAIN in good restored condition. This clock has been refinished with a spray can of "Just Like Gold", and is a bit too bright for me, but otherwise is in original condition, complete and sound. This is a hard to find model, and sold new for $56. Height 22.5" $600--$900

512.  C.1906, Ansonia, "ETRURIA & BLOSSOM {#1184", note the big dragon fly right in the center below the dial. Note green onyx inserts in the base.

Ht 28.5" $1500--$2000

513.  C.1900, Ansonia, IMPERIAL, in good condition, with some restoration {the case has been painted a coppery color}. There are some small cracks in the porcelain dial.

514.  C.1904, Ansonia, "No 1182, La Source & La Vague", in excellent restored condition. We unpacked these in a box fresh from Mr. Carrick and you can see his trademark finish. These are ready to put on your mantel and enjoy. Ht 22.75" $750--$1,000

514a.  C.1900, French, Brass Cased Carriage timepiece, ANGLE RICHE, in very good original condition. This is a miniature with a one inch dial, the porcelain dial with royal blue numerals and red 5 minute markers. This clock does NOT have a watch movement, rather a mini clock movement, with a platform that spans the plats and is visible through the lens at top. The beveled glass is all good. Such small carriage clocks are both uncommon and attractive. Ht of case = 3.25", with handle up 4.25" $1,200--$1,400

525.  C.1886, Ansonia Clock Co., "Novelty No. 44" in generally good condition. This particular clock got dropped and the crystal had to be replaced and the 2 outer supports for the cow catcher are missing {a creative guy could probably replace these}. This and the following lot are sure to attract some attention. For literature, see Ly #2163 on page 523. Ht 7.75" $200--$300

525a.  C.1886, Ansonia Clock Co., "Novelty No. 44" in outstanding original condition. Although it has had a few minor bumps, nothing is missing nor out of place on this example.

(so engraved on dial & on an ivory insert in the case). 48-hour marine chronometer with up/down indicator. The fusee chain is good, the helical hairspring intact and the movement is beautifully finished and damaskeened. Although the movement appears clean, the oil is dry and the escapement wants to hang up; we tried some light watch oil to loosen things, and the detent is definitely in need of attention/adjustment. The silvered brass dial is in nice condition and all hands are original. The brass bound mahogany case is complete and refinished. The gimbal is complete and working and the original winding key and case keys are present. A well made chronometer with lots of potential. Ht 6" $1,250--$1,500

541.  C.1906, Ansonia {Lot of 2} GRANDFATHER mini tall clocks, one complete, one case only. Note that on both cases, the very tips of all finials have been broken away, and for a long time; the tips must have been the weakest part of the design.

542.  C.1904, Ansonia, "CANDELABRA No. 1183", in very good original condition. This pair of candle stands has Brazilian green onyx panels in the bases {Ansonia catalog calls it inlay}.

547.  C.1905, New Haven Clock Co., CHARIOT, in very good original condition. This is a desirable and hard to find novelty. As it was a spindly creation, it is most often damaged or with pieces missing. This example is about as nice as we have seen and sure to garner interest. Ht 9.5" $300--$500

548.  C.1904, Ansonia, "FLEUR DE LYS AND No. 1178" {Orchid}, and in very good restored condition. Both statue and base have been restored by Charles Carrick with typical bronze finish.

555.  C.1900, New Haven Clock Co., Cast metal figural clock in very good original condition. We could not find this novelty in the New Haven catalog, but it seems to be correct and in good order. Much of the original gilding remains on the case and statue. Note the alternating emerald and clear brilliants which were an option on New Haven clocks. Since we are unsure of the name of the model, we are putting a reasonable estimate on the clock. Ht 12.25" $175--$275

556.  C.1885, French, Pair of Bronze Candelabra in very good original condition. This is a large a imposing set for 5 candles each, and will complement any clock with Rococo styling. Ht 22" $300--$400

560.  C.1890, British United Clock Co., 30-hour novelty timepiece. If you didn't look on the back of the case you would assume this to be an Ansonia timepiece. This is a dead ringer for the "Novelty No. 18" made by Ansonia, but in a larger size. British United was copying designs made by Ansonia and producing their own. Without irony, Henry Davies' brother Edward had returned to the UK around 1885 to run the British United Clock Co; although there is no evidence of a financial bond between the 2 companies, there was for sure a Family Bond between the 2 and ideas were exchanged freely. The nickel-plated brass case is in very nice condition with some wear to the nickel plating. The porcelain dial is perfect and the hands are original. Ht. 6.25" $150--$250

561.  C.1932 England, Smith, 8-day ship or wardroom timepiece. The well made lever movement is housed in a heavy brass case that has been cleaned and polished.

Ht. 12" $150--$250

563.  C.1910, Sessions Clock Co., "Home No. 3", 8-day time/strike wall clock. The refinished oak case is in very nice condition. This case is a variation of the flat top shown in the catalog; perhaps an early owner put the curved piece on top; it has been there a long time. The paper dial has turned dark from age. The hands and tablet are original, except the word "Regulator" has been painted on the glass. This clock also has an alarm, which you don't normally find in these models. Ht. 20.5" $200--$300

564.  C.1913, William L. Gilbert Clock Co., "HERCULES", 8-day time/strike figural mantel clock.

The hands are original. Ht. 18.5" $500--$700

566.  C.1901, Ansonia Clock Co., Royal Bonn "No. 500", 8-day time & strike porcelain mantel clock. This very attractive white porcelain case is in excellent condition with some wear to the applied gold. The well painted flowers are in pink, yellow and dark pink. The porcelain dial is perfect. The minute hand is a replacement; however the correct hand may be purchased from Timesavers.com, item 23386 for $3; you will need to enlarge the hole with a square file. The beveled door glass is perfect also. The movement is complete and sound appears to be running OK. Ht. 12.75" $900--$1,200

567.  C.1890, French, 8-day time/strike mantel clock. The wood with brass and MOP inlay is in very nice condition. The case has some minor dings and scratches that come with age. The large movement is stamped "Brocot Brevet", and has been recently serviced and the exposed escapement parts nicely polished. The porcelain dial, hands and beveled door glass are all good. Note there is a curved wooden panel with inlay that covers the long pendulum, which swings in the base.

568.  C.1890, German, Mini Black Forest 8-Day "R-A" wall clock in generally good original condition. The hands have been changed and do not match.

569.  C.1900, German, Junghans, Early Diana Swing clock in good original condition. This is an unusual model with early canister case with single rod extension, similar to the Swiss oscillator which they were probably working with. It is designed as an 8-day clock, with porcelain dial, rear wind and center set. The jewel bar is appropriately different than later ones. The statue retains original patinated bronze finish, wooden base and no scratches nor repairs. Ht 14" $800--$1,200

570.  C.1890, French, Small Lyre clock, the case veneered with red tortoise shell, and with ormolu mounts. Has an attractive bezel with all paste brilliants intact. The cream colored porcelain dial has fancy polychrome wreath decoration. The crystal is quite dirty around the edges, and there is substantial dirt down in the crevices. The pendulum on this model is suspended at the rear, top, and swings behind the lyre form case. Ht 14" $2,000--$2,500

571.  C.1910, German, Junghans, BATBOY swing clock in very good original condition. This is a very nice example with nice patina on the statue and a clock arm that retains most of its original gilding {minor wear with copper showing through}. The good porcelain dial on clock, with traditional "Star-J", Junghans trademark. Ht 18" $1,500--$1,00

572.  C.1980, Chinese, 2-fusee, crown-verge bracket clock, 8-day time & strike The rosewood case with mother-of-pearl inlay is in very nice clean condition. These are well made clocks with an aged look. The porcelain dial has several hairline cracks. With the originals of these being worth around $2500 dollars, you have an opportunity to buy a lower cost copy made in China. Height includes intermediate base and turn-table. These were originally made for & imported by a firm in Cincinnati. Lots of look for the money. Ht. 20" $400--$600

573.  C.1910, English, ORIENTAL, bronze desk clock with wooden frame and chinoisserie decorations on the frame and a Chinese tapestry design in the dial center. The round English movement is a copy of a French movement, and is stamped: "English Movt with French Escapm't". It has a 7 jewel Paris make platform, intact and running. 8-Day. The outer frame is missing much of the gesso and painted decorations. Interestingly, this clock must certainly have inspired Chelsea's all bronze model of the same configuration. Ht 8" $250--$350

574.  C.1830, American Cherry Tall Case now with a Seth Thomas wooden dial and quartz movement. There is a splinter of wood missing on the bottom board of the hood; otherwise the case is complete and sound, with original finish, door escutcheon and arch trim. This case was made for a brass 8-day movement with 12" dial. The case has nice lines and would make a good looking clock with the proper movement. Ht 84.5" $2,500--$2,750

575.  C.1900, French, TIME GLOBE in good original condition. The 6" globe was edited by G. Thomas, Paris, and we are unable to read the date, but it is some time prior to WWI. The French lever movement in the base rotates the globe once each 24 hours, and the pointer is set to local time. By adding or subtracting the number of hours shown on the equator ring, you can calculate the time at any point on the globe. Ht 12.5" $3,300--$3,800

576.  C.1878, E. N. Welch Mfg Co., "Briggs Rotary", 30-hour novelty timepiece in generally good condition. The original dial has been very nicely restored. The steel ball pendulum is original. These were patented by John Briggs in 1855 and manufactured by Geo. W. Brown and later by E. N. Welch. This is a later model clock with screwed plates. With old dome that is a bit heavy; the painted wooden base has some scratches. Still overall good condition and in running order. Ht. 8" $650--$850

577.  C.1965, Swiss, Semca, World Time clock in very good original condition. The lacquer and gilding are worn through in a few high spots, but overall this is a good looking clock. The outer dial has the name of about 2 dozen major word cities, and all you do is rotate that so your current city is at the hour hand and you instantly can see the time at all of the other cities. A 24 hour day/nite dial makes it clear whether the sun is shining where you are observing the time. The movement is a quality 8-day Swiss unit with lever escapement and 15 jewels. Width = 8", ht 2.5" $300--$400

578.  C.1900 French Conical [Rotary] Pendulum Annular dial alarm clock. Novelty alarm illustrated in La Pendule Francais, part 2, page 351. This is a relatively nice example, except that someone has had to replace the original ball pendulum with a brass turning. Note the time is read (on the original dial strip) through a window in the base; there are 5 vertical pillars, in the manner of a gazebo. 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 under-priced today. Height 7" $575--$675

579.  C.1882, Yale Clock Co., Iron Miniature 1-day novelty clock. This is a small case that was probably cast by Bradley & Hubbard. It has a cast in pattern that is filled with some contrasting paint. The paper dial has gone a bit brown with age. Note the balance/lever escapement is visible through the "window" in the bottom of the case. In running order. A great clock for the beginning collector. Ht 4.25" $125--$175

580.  C.1900, French, Charles Hour, Unusual "distorted cube" clock & instrument set, as found, less 4-ball feet, and needing a tiny screw to hold on the minute hand, plus the movement fully wound and bound to a stop. This item is of very high quality, with a nice platform timepiece movement, Aneroid barometer, plus both Fahrenheit and Centigrade thermometers on the rear, each a curved tube with mercury indication, and both intact, and finally a compass on the top of the case. A compact little weather station that will respond to restoration. Note porcelain dial has a chip at the winding hole, and the dial is signed by the retailer: "Udall & Ballou  New York". Width = 5.25", ht 4.5" $350--$400

581.  C.1965, Swiss, Bulova ACCUTRON carriage timepiece in generally good original condition. The battery is dead so we are unsure of the mechanical condition of the movement, however, this is the same movement used in the famous Accutron watches. The gilding on the brass case is still bright and it has not been abused. Some tiny tool marks on the silvered center have oxidized and turned dark. Good potential. Ht 5.6" $75--$125

582.  C.1965, Swiss, Bulova ACCUTRON desk clock in good original condition. Case bears serial number D2051-R. Gilding on the case and the silvered dial are both in good condition, some minor oxidation on the case. As we have not installed a new battery, we are unaware of the condition of the movement, but since Dr. Kimball had several of these, we have no reason to suspect damage. Rear cover and latch are fine; internet shows image with rear cover removed. Ht 4.5" $75--$125

583.  C. 1900 French, Grand Sonnerie Carriage Clock with alarm and repeat in Corniche case. Movement marked "Made in France" in oval but not numbered. Porcelain dial is in perfect condition was marked "Tiffany & Co. / New York" but signature is partially worn off. Nice original hands. Beveled glass is in excellent condition. Striking adjustment lever on bottom selects "Sie Quarts" "Silence" or "Gde Sonnerie". This has had a replacement Swiss platform installed; it is running, striking and repeating, but would benefit from service. Will respond to a cleaning. Ht 7" $750--$1,000

584.  C.1900, French, Japy Freres, small portable clock, the case of birds-eye maple with cast brass trim. The 8-day movement has a short pivoted pendulum, and a porcelain dial with cast brass hands. The gilding is gone from the brass trim, however the clock is complete and sound with a good porcelain dial and in running order; strikes the hours and halves on a bell mounted underneath. Ht 8.2" $350--$450

585.  C.1830, French, Mini Ormolu figural clock, titled "Gare La Bombe", or the bombs of war, with a cannon spewing forth clouds of smoke as it spews out a winged cherub. Most of the original fire gilding is intact and the detail is nicely chased. The movement is adapted from a French crown verge watch of the period {quite a common power source for these miniatures}, winding is through the dial. Porcelain dial is perfect and gilt hands are original. With a key made out of an old watch cock. Ht 7.5" $900--$1,200

586.  C.1935, Swiss, 8-Day Partners Desk clock in an Art Deco case of nickeled brass with a stepped onyx base, all in good original condition. There is some discoloration on the silvered dial.

587.  C.1940, Swiss, Longines, 2-Day Deck Watch in original mahogany case with gimbal mount, and in excellent original condition. Longines was established by the uncle of Ernst Francillon, but was not renamed Longines until 1860 when Ernst built a new factory at a place on the Suze River called Longines. He was one of the first Swiss watch makers to bring all of the functions of watch making under one roof {following their American counterparts}. The dial diameter is 2.8", the box is 6" square. Note the thread on the corner stabilizer is reverse; turn to right to loosen. Ht 4.5" $900--$1,200

588.  C.1890, French, Swinging Doll Timepiece in good original condition. This is a cute clock, with skeletonized front plate and with the verge visible in the center. Unlike the swing clocks with chaff cutter escapement, this one has a single escape wheel, with the verge moving in and out of the teeth at a right angle. The white alabaster case has some small chips and is dark at the top from oil. Still it is in overall good condition and seems to run briskly. Ht 9.5" $900--$1,200

589.  C.1955, German, A. Schmid-Schlenker Jr. Uhrenfabrik, novelty flower pot clock, 30 hour in fair to good original condition. The leaves and petals are a bit droopy on this example. However the movement is complete and sound and the little dial {in the center of the flower at top}, is quite crispy. The 30 hour movement is in the flower pot below and the hands are driven by a wire which turns in the center of the flower stem. Ht 8" $275--$325

590.  C.1910, German, Junghans Westminster bracket clock in very good restored condition /with the exception of a replaced minute hand that will need attention. Somehow the minute had got lost and the owner took the clock in for full service and the repairman provided a moon hand in lieu of a spade. The rear plate of the movement showing model B-20, and Junghans, Württemberg trademark, and serial #1401. The movement has been serviced and is chiming loudly. The case is mahogany with a clear finish and looks similar to walnut. Ht 15" $275--$375

591.  C.1875. E. N. Welch Mfg. Co., Forestville, CT, 8-day "Cottage Extra" mantel clock. The refinished mahogany veneer case has some chips on the ogee molding surround the door and a couple of chips on the door, though the base and sides are nearly perfect. The old hands are mismatched, and the pendulum is old, but not original, the brass gong base cover is replaced and the original painted dial plate has been repapered a long time ago. However, the original reverse tablet is good with repairs to the background color, but not the design. The label inside is intact and readable. Ht. 14" $125--$175

592.  C.1900, French, Oval Crystal Regulator with handsome Corinthian columns, applied garland and rope decorations, losses noted. The clock has a very good porcelain dial, original hands and pendulum. The movement has a Vincenti ebauche mark noting an 1855 Medal. The oval side glasses apparently got damaged and have been replaced with straight, non-beveled sides, but the clock is still very handsome and petite. Ht. 10.25" $300--$400

593.  C.1904, Ansonia, Digital Flick Clock, as-found, from storage. This is not a bad example of this model, but it is missing the top white "hand" that helps stabilize the number cards. It ticks robustly and the cards seem stay in place just fine without the extra "hand". The numbers are bright and sharp and none are damaged and the cylinder glass lens is perfect with no chips. An OK clock for the beginning collector. Ht 6.25" $100--$125
