Welch, the outer case of papier-mâché, painted black and with gold stenciling around the border and a painted scene at the bottom.   Condition:  the molded paper portion has been broken and glued in a couple of places [not too bad, but apparent].  Typical of most of these, the movement is housed in a rectangular box and with a framed mirror to show off the pendulum.  Ht 30"   $250--$350

078.  C.1870, Welch Spring & Co., Mini Italian, time and alarm, 30 hour.  Condition  biggest hurt on this clock is veneer replacement on the base, and with additional chips needing attention.  The rearing lions tablet is a very good repro, and the new putty and rear paint on the tablet are apparent.  Dial is original; hands are old, but not a matched set, the minute hand a bit too large in profile, and shortened.  Generally good+ condition and worth owning; a hard to find size.  Ht 14"   $275--$375

083.  C.1924, Chelsea Clock Co.,  "Hancock", 8-day,  desk timepiece, as-found.  Condition - Brass case has tarnished to a mellow brown, but in clean condition.   This example was retailed by "Udall & Ballou, New York".  It bears serial no. 160514.  Although it runs, someone has butchered the hairspring and it does NOT keep time.  Will need professional attention.   Ht 4"   $175--$225

084.  C.1840, Williams, Orten, Preston's & Co., Farmington, Conn.,  30-hour time/strike wood movement half column and splat shelf clock. Condition:  Generally good.  The mahogany veneered case will need some restoration, as there is veneer loss on the base and top edge.  The stenciling on the splat and columns is original and the dial is very nice.  Left side return at the top is missing.  The upper glass is missing and the lower has a print of Queen Victoria.  The label is very clean and the movement is brass bushed as the label states.  Ht  31.5"  $150--$250

085.  C.1900, New Haven Clock Co, Short Drop oak  school clock, time only, 8-day.   Condition;  the oak case has been refinished; the dial pan has been re-papered and the dial speckled with a brush to give it an aged look.  Seems to run OK.  ht 24"   $175--$225

086.  C.1990, Repro of Seth Thomas No. 2 Regulator, in an oak case with no finish.   Condition:  although like new condition, a proper finish has not been applied to the case.  It bears a copy of the Seth Thomas label in the base.  The reflector ring is installed backwards {simple to change}.  One glue joint has failed in the plate that holds the dial.  Seems to tick OK.  Ht 36"   $350--$550

087.  C.1850, Mass Banjo, 8-day, gold front, weight driven, 8-day.  Condition:  this clock has the appearance of an 1825 clock, but is really 1850 or later.  The movement is identical to an unsigned Howard and Davis that we have on the wall here, and attaches with a large center screw from the rear.  It is known that H+D supplied movements to the trade at the time, and the rest of the clock certainly never saw the Howard shop.  Bill purchased this clock from John White, who probably did not know the clocks true age.  Reproduction Willard style tablets are excellent.  Ht 41"   $1,000--$1,500

088.  C.1830, Mass Banjo, 8-day, weight, mahogany case.   Condition:  This case has had its share of restoration over the years.  The throat and lower door are c.1960, tablets same era; top to throat is absent. Has a home-made wooden pulley. Bill originally sold this clock at the Cleveland National in 1975 when the dial had no signature.  Since then it has received the script "Warranted by E. Taber"  He took the clock back in trade as  it is here.  In 1975, this was a $1,500 clock, and we expect that restored banjos have just about held their value.  Ht 34"   $900--$1,200

089.  C.1910, German, Junghans, DIANA swinging arm clock, 8-day time only.   Condition:  the jewel bar has been re-attached and one jewel replaced, and the bar is loose again.  Statue is old and with original wooden base with flaking black paint.  The arm itself is the BEST in the sale, with original gilding and good porcelain dial.  Would be $1,000 with good jewel bar.  Ht 13"  $500--$700

090.  C.1941, Herschede Model 436 Hall clock, 5-tube, 3-weight, incomplete.  Condition:  Someone started a restoration and never finished it, but this has possibilities either for parts or for restoration.  It has the LARGE movement, serial #361596.  You get a set of 3 German weights that are NOT heavy enough to run the clock.  Hands are missing. One pulley is missing.  Has flat glass, no bevel.  Note this is a SMALL clock with 9 inch wide dial, still with large mov't and meter pendulum.  Very dirty; nicks and scrapes to the base.   Except for the weights, what is there is original.  Ht 70"  $800--$1,200

091.  C.1842, Hills, Goodrich & Co., Plainville, CT, uncommon hollow column, 30-hour, time & strike, with restorations.  Condition:  The mahogany veneer case has been refinished,  the tablets are modern replacements, and the minute hand is too short.  Movement was recently serviced and  was ticking and striking; we had to cut the cord to remove the weights for transport.  Ht 28"   $350--$550

092.  C.1832, Upson, Merrimans & Co., Bristol, Conn, short transitional, 30 hour wooden works, carved column and splat.  Condition:  this uncommon clock has experienced some wear and restoration.  The  wooden dial with paint loss across from 9 to 3, and above 6; label legible, but missing bottom inch or so, flaked away;  top glass and putty are original; bottom tablet is a replacement.  Chimneys with some chips and losses; case refinished.  Movement complete and will need service.  Carved fruit basket top with pineapple is nice.  Partners in this company were Rensselaer Upson, Henry & George Merriman.  Ht 30"   $500--$800

093.  C.1832, Riley Whiting, 30-hour time/strike half column and splat wood movement shelf clock.  Condition:  Stripped mahogany veneered case is clean condition, with original tablet {some flaking}.  Movement, dial and hands are original.  The original stenciling is gone and the black on the columns and splat has been restored.  One side return on the top has been restored.  The key escutcheon has been replaced with wood.  There is a little piece missing from top of the right chimney. Ht 29"   $350--$450

098.  C.1880, Ansonia, MARBELITE No. 5 with 8-day open escapement movement with porcelain dial.   Condition:  there is a crack in the chapter ring at 1:30, now dark, but no porcelain missing.  The movement has dried oil and dirt and will need cleaning.  The hands are improper replacements; no pendulum {replacements readily available}.  The case itself is in good shape and retains a very good label {with wear} that is still legible.  An uncommon clock that is sure to appeal to the Ansonia collector.  Ht 17.5"   $400--$500

099.  Mixed lot:  C.1920, Howard marble clock CASE, now with wooden dial, and now with a Waltham gallery movement from the same period, running.  Details: Mr. Mather bought this clock from Bill Dupras who bought it from Charles Tarr of Wolfeboro, NH.  Mr. Tarr acquired the clock (with the Waltham movement in place} in 1959 from Nick Salvatore who found it in the dump when dumping trash for Westinghouse.  Included with the lot is the entire story of restoration from 1959 to 1993, when Martha Smallwood re-painted the wooden dial, plus copious correspondence between Martha & Mr. Tarr.  Hands & weight newly made. Ht 28"  $600--$900

100.  C.2001, Reproduction Howard #2 Banjo, weight driven, with C.1900 signed E. Howard movement.  Condition:  the clock is virtually like new, the case professionally grained to simulate rosewood.  The pendulum bob is from a German tall clock, Edwardian period, now filled with lead.  The tablets are professionally leafed and painted with proper color scheme. The dial is from the Dial House in Dallas, Ga.  Movement is mounted on walnut blocks.  Hands have been repaired.  Originals of this"hardest to find" model bring around $7,500+.  Dial = 10", Ht 44.5" $2,000--$3,000

101.  C.1975, Reproduction No. 1 size Regulator Banjo, with a C.1820 Bingham school finely made movement with dead beat escapement and maintaining power.  Condition:  this clock is in excellent overall condition, the pendulum in need of minor reinforcement where the pendulum shaft meets the main stick.  The movement itself is to highest Nashua standards well spoked with heavy baluster pillars.  The mahogany case is well made with hinged throat piece; once had key locks in top bezel and lower door, now absent. A large, impressive and good running clock.  You need a major lag screw to hold this one as it is extremely heavy.  Ht 50"   $3,000--$4,000

102.  Mixed Lot:  C.1888, E. Howard, No. 81 mahogany tall case, now with a converted E Howard master clock movement {like #1, but with circular cut outs in the front plate.}, one weight, 8-day with rocking ship.  Condition:  clean and running, very eye catching with rocking ship in arch, and damascene pendulum is good looking as well.  Has cast bronze Howard plaque in rear of case.  We had a similar clock 2 years ago that the consignor felt was "original", but we stand by our critical evaluation.  These are all good parts, if by chance you have a proper Howard tall clock movement.  Ht 98"  $4,000--$6,000

103.  C.1975, Repro Lyre Clock, 1-wt, 8-day, with an E. Howard #70 movement.  Condition:  although the movement is dry and could stand oiling, it is complete and sound and ticks.  There is about a quarter inch space between the throat and the bezel where either a piece of trim is missing, or the maker made the throat too short; cant tell which, but it can be coped with.  Hands are heavy well made copies of early Willard style.  Ht 40"   $1,750--$2,250

104.  C.1820, Seth Thomas, Plymouth, Conn, Pillar & Scroll, 30 hour, 2-weight,  wooden works, painted dial.  Condition:  this clock has experienced considerable restoration.  The case has been stripped and has almost no finish; scrolls have each been broken and repaired; the skirt and feet are replacements.  The label, although legible is missing some major chunks.  The tablet is a modern replacement, well painted.  The finials are modern replacements, and their screws are loose in the smooth holes of the chimneys.  Despite these shortcomings, the clock is cosmetically attractive and looks "the part"  Ht  32"   $900--$1,200

105.  C.1993 {dated movement} Unknown Boston area box lyre with Stennes dial.  Condition:  a bunch of these carved cases turned up at auction in the early 1990s and several folks have finished clocks with them.  This gentleman, initials OJR, put on an extra Stennes dial that he found just to add to the confusion.  Not a bad looking clock; Bill bought this on eBay for more than the estimate here.  {and not described as here} Ht 42"  $700--$900

106.  C.1990, Unknown repro of Baltimore Banjo, with Wayne Cline, Bowling Green, KY movement set up.   Condition:  the case has decent proportions, and with nice gold leaf tablets, the bottom with REGULATOR in bold lettering.  This maker has copied the sidearms that we occasionally see on Hatch models similar to this.  Ht 34"   $900--$1,200

107.  C.1910, Seth Thomas, Long Drop Globe timepiece, eight day.   Condition:  the entire front of the case is now with-OUT veneer, stained to match dark sides.  The lower door is new and the mitered joints leave some to be desired.  The pendulum length is correct, however the bob is from a ST #2, as I don’t believe you often see this large heavy bob in the Globe case.  Lastly, a new paper dial has been pasted over the original painted one.  Restore or use for parts; an original Globe is easily worth $600.  Ht 32.5"   $200--$300

108.  C.1901, Ansonia, 12 INCH DROP OCTAGON, R.C., 8-day time only, spring mov't   Condition:  the oak case has been refinished, except for the door, which retains is dark brown color.  The original paper dial is stained considerably from wetness.  Movement is original, sound and ticking.  Ht 24"   $175--$275

109.  C.1901, Ansonia, REGULATOR D, 8-day time and strike, in an embossed oak long drop octagon case.   Condition:  pendulum is from Sessions; the sides of the clock retain old varnish, severely alligatored, and it is easy to see why the front was stripped to show the embossing.  The Ansonia book shows the drop plain and the door embossed, this one is the opposite with no evidence of being changed, so must simply be a variant, the dial has been improperly repainted; these were originally paper inserts; center brass ring is painted white, but can be stripped.  So there you have it, an interesting clock that needs paper dial and some TLC.  Ht 32"   $275--$375

110.  C.1880, Swiss Pinwheel Movement, in a purpose made oak & pine case from C.1925.  Condition:   this is a complete clock, the cable has been lengthened and a pulley added to increase the running duration {usually these are run direct drive}.  The well made movement has center seconds, moon hands, good porcelain dial and grid pendulum.  The pine case back is stenciled Kelvinator Corp, Michigan, and was part of a shipping crate.  There is a good 75 years of age to the case and it has a ruddy brown patina.  Case never had a bottom trim.  Ht 70"   $2,000--$2,500

111.  C.1825, Silas Hoadley,  30-hour time/strike wood movement pillar & scroll shelf clock.  Condition - Refinished mahogany case with restoration.  Scroll top is original, but the scroll tips have been replaced, slightly out of scale.  Original painted dial is in very nice condition, but there has been some touchup to some of the numbers.   Upper glass is a replacement, while the tablet is original, but flaked.  Feet and skirt are replacements.  Movement is a Hoadley.  Finials are replacements, but have some age.  A piece of the upper backboard has been replaced with board from an old wooden box.  Overall a decent scroll with general repairs that were done throughout its life.  Ht 31.5"  $600--$900

112.  C.1940, International Business Machines, NY, self winding office regulator, Model 35, with original 110v motor; note has pulleys and 2 large weights.  Condition:  Unusual cherry case is sound, and has been refinished.  Glass over dial is missing.  Clock has been in storage and will need service.  Note meter pendulum with invar rod and cylindrical brass bob with micro adjustment on the bottom.  It is our belief that pulleys should attach to the case side or top and that the weights are "direct drive". Original dial was black and copper color, and someone masked it and brushed the center gold {good they left the "International" intact}.  Also with fancy international beat scale at bottom. Note after we took the foto, we found the original brass covered weights, and they are now with the clock.  Serial #680458BE  Ht 63"   $1,000--$1,500

113.  C.1895, Seth Thomas, Regulator No. 3, 8-day weight, timepiece, in walnut.  Condition:  This clock came from a home in Carlisle, where an artist had added personal touches to the flaking dial and pendulum, plus painted the hour hand dark red.  Weight is the original with knurled end pieces.  Well figured case has been rubbed down a couple of times, but retains much of the original finish.  Movement is large trapezoid, original to case.  All of the molding, bottom and little finials are original and intact.  Great original label inside case bottom, also orig beat scale  Despite needing work, this is a great clock.  Ht 43.5"   $2,750--$3,750

Gilbert Clock Co., "Jet",  8-day time/strike mantel clock.    Condition - Ebonized case in very nice condition with an original finish.  Original dial has age darkened.  Tablet, pendulum and hands are original.  Only defect is the sun burst style top is missing.  The two nail holes are visible, but the top is missing.  Nice label on back.  Ht 16.75"   $100--$200

115.  C.1865, Seth Thomas Clock Co., Cottage "E",  30-hour time/alarm cottage timepiece.  Condition - Mahogany veneered case in very good condition with an old and possibly original finish.  Dial blank, now covered with a paper dial, is old, but not original.  Hands appear to be original.  No label in case.  Movement is signed.  Both glasses are original.    Ht 9"   $125--$175

116.  C.1928, New Haven Clock Co., "Willis", 12-day banjo timepiece.  Condition - Refinished mahogany case is in generally good condition with an old grungy finish.  Both tablets are original {and superb}.  Original dial is very clean and hands are original.  Spring is run down and movement still ticks, seems to be running OK. Nice beginner level clock.   Ht 17.5"   $100--$150

117.  C.1870, E. N. Welch Mfg. Co., 8-day time/strike steeple clock.  Condition - Stripped mahogany veneered case is in good condition with some veneer loss on the base and upper left side top front molding.  Original dial has paint loss around the mounting pins and minor flaking.  Hands are original.  Movement is signed. Tablet appears to be original, but has had restoration to the background paint.  One spire tip is shorter than the other.   Ht 19.25"   $100--$150

118.  C.1870, Terry Clock Co., Waterbury, Conn., 30-hour time/strike reverse OG cottage clock. Condition - Rosewood veneered case is in very nice condition with an original decayed finish.  There is one small veneer chip on the lower corner of the reserve OG molding.  Both glasses are original, but with some flaking on the eagle glass.  Original dial has some minor wear.  Hands are original with repair to the minute hand.  Round top, signed movement is very -similar to those found in the small iron cased clocks.  Nice label inside case.  An uncommon model.  Ht 10.25"   $300--$500

119.  C.1881, E. Ingraham & Co., "Dew Drop", 8-day barbershop wall timepiece/ Waterbury-Kramer replacement dial.  Condition - Rosewood grained case is in very nice condition with some of the original graining intact on the upper door.  These timepieces were made to run backwards and would have been viewed by looking at the reflection in a mirror.  Paper dial is a replacement /for Waterbury-Kramer Service Co/ on the original dial pan.  Movement is signed Ingraham.  Nice label inside case.  This is the first Ingraham reverse-running clock we have ever seen, and although the dial makes it seriously suspect, the movement has no obvious alterations.  You be the judge. Certainly a curiosity worth the estimate.  Ht 23.5"   $300--$500

120.  Modern GIANT Glass Paperweight timepiece, with C.1920, Waltham Watch Co, 8-day car clock movement, stem wind.   Condition:  this clock is like new, the quality case well made and the crystal flawless.  Note the bail is not strong enough to hold the clock, be sure to support it from the bottom when carrying.  The white porcelain dial has royal blue Roman numerals.  This clock was an eBay purchase, not properly described by the seller, and had a final sales price of over $1,000.  Ht 11"  $400--$600

121.  C.1914, Seth Thomas Clock Co., 8-day time/strike adamantine mantel clock, large model with curved sides and 4 free standing columns.   Condition - Adamantine case similar to New Sucille, is in good condition with some minor cello chips on one back edge.  The dial is original, but has pulled away from the bezel and will need attention.  The original bronze colored mounts have darkened.  The gilding on the incised lines of the front design is worn and faded.  Ht 12"   $100--$200

122.  C.1891, Waterbury Clock Co., "Buffalo", 8-day time/strike calendar clock.  Condition - Refinished walnut case in very clean condition, but is missing the top center section of the top crest {catalog drawings will show you what to restore}.  Original painted dial is clean with a couple paint chips.  The Waterbury pendulum is from a larger clock, works OK.  Most of the original paper label on the back remains with stains, model label is only partially there.  Decal on the door glass is a replacement.  Ht 25"   $250--$350

123.  C.1845, Unknown,  30-hour time/alarm iron front shelf clock.   Condition - Cast iron front is in excellent condition with most of the original decoration intact.  Paper dial is original with a little loss.  The case originally housed an auxiliary alarm movement that is now missing, and with vacant hole in case front.  There is no label, but it could have been made by the American Clock Co. or Terhune and Edwards.  Hands are original.  Ht 15.5"   $150--$250

124.  C.1857, E. Ingraham & Co., "Venetian", 8-day time/strike/alarm mantel clock.   Condition - Refinished walnut veneered case in very nice condition with some minor veneer loss on the back edge of the base.  Original dial has some wear to the numbers and minor staining, but is still very good.  Hands are not original.  Both glasses are original.  Separate alarm movement is missing {disc is intact}.  Clean label inside.  Ht 15.5"   $150--$250

Co., 8-day time/strike, double door OOG, shelf clock.    Condition - Partially stripped mahogany veneered case is in good condition with some veneer loss and repairs, along the outer band.  Original bottom glass has the remains of the original parrot transfer that has had the background scraped  away.  The movement is signed.  Old dial with orig paint, fits arbors, but has extra mounting holes, and is not original to case.  Ht 29.75"   $125--$225

Anderson, and also with the Jan 1, 1944 Saturday Evening Post, which chronicles Smith's work  The late Ward Francillon, whenever the subject of Charles Smith came up, said that Smith produced a clock that was equal to or better than any produced in 19^th century Connecticut.  Smith died in 1946, shortly after producing this clock, his last clock was #614.  We expect extra interest in this unique timepiece.  Ht 14", with pendulum 55"   $750--$1,000

447.  C.1850, Dan'l Pratt overpaste label on likely Brewster & Ingrahams MINI 8-day spring mov't column & cornice.   Condition:  overall very good+ condition with original dial, hands, mirror and tablet.

448.  C.1980 {dated} Foster S. Campos, Pembroke, MA,  mahogany lyre banjo clock.   Condition:  in great shape for a 25 year old clock; Bill has had this very clock in stock a couple of times, by taking it back in trade.  There are some minor nicks on the case; this model with feather top finial. Some minor stains on dial. Ht 38"   $2,500--$3,000

449.  C.2004 {dated} Wayne Cline, Bowling Green, KY, reproduction Diamond Head banjo, weight driven 8-day.  Condition:  Like new, Bill always bought several of these at one time.  The original of this clock was by Daniel Munroe, Concord, Mass, who apprenticed to Simon Willard.  Throat glass is lettered Munroe, Concord; lower tablet depicts Perry’s victory, signed by Moburg.  Light walnut finish. Ht 41"  $2,750--$3,250

450.  C.1985, Seth Thomas, (Tally Industries} Model 4490 triple chime hall clock, movement signed made in Germany for Seth Thomas {apparently by Kieninger}.  Condition:  this is new old stock, never sold, but is a little shop worn with some nicks and scrapes.  Still ticks and chimes melodiously, your choice of Westminster, St. Michels, or Whittington.  Beveled glass on all 3 sides is good.  Expensive when ordered.  Ht 86"   $600--$900

451.  C.1791 {dated} Danish Tall clock, 8-day, time and strike, brass dial with painted case.   Condition:  this clock has been attractively restored, the case painted a medium rose color, with gray and gold accents.  The restoration on the case was done professionally and has a muted antique appearance.  The well made movement with rack and snail strike is similar to an English model from the same time period, but with more delicate pillars.  The brass dial is a bit more crude, the dial plate of hammered brass and the spandrels and chapter of cast lead.  The movement was recently cleaned and re-strung and is running OK.  Dial dimensions =  11.2 x 15"   Case height = 82"   $1,500--$2,000

452.  C.1995, American Hall Clock "THE MAJESTIC", 3-weight, cable drive, 8-day, playing your choice of 3 tunes on 9 rods: Whittington, St. Michaels or Westminster, with large lyre/grid iron pendulum, in a mahogany case with burled & carved accents.    Condition:   this is perhaps a prototype, as there are some minor differences between this case and the final foto we see in Colonial Hall Clock literature.  Moreover, the movement, a quality Kieninger rolling moon, triple chime, does not bear the Colonial trademark.  Some minor scrapes and dry splits on case, but still exceptionally attractive.  Also has all 4 panes of glass with heavy bevel; entire hood removes for access to movement.  Runs and chimes well.  Width = 23", depth = 15.5"  height = 86.5"   $2,000--$3,000

453.  C.1900, Walter H. Durfee for Tiffany & Co., New York, oak cased 3-weight tall clock with 9 tubular bells, also marked with Durfee patent info.  Plays your choice of Westminster or 9-bells {Whittington} on the quarter hours. Condition:  Except for a replaced center finial and feet, this clock is in excellent condition.  The finish is original; the gilding on the dial is still good with only minor discoloration.  Tubes are good with bright finish intact.  Chime fan cosmetically distressed from former shipping damage. Weights and pendulum highly polished with no dings. This clock has stood in the Mather front parlor for many years.  Ht 96"  $20,000--$30,000

454.  C.1830, English, Ralph Walsh, Mini Round dial tall clock [39 inches] with 5.75" dial, 1-wt time only.   Condition:  the pendulum has a wooden stick which is improper; would probably have been 12 inch brass or steel on this style clock.  The movement itself is very interesting, with cut out or "skeletonized" plates. The dial signature is weak, but you can just make it out; no town is apparent, but a label inside the door touts "Tuke & Co., Jewelers, opticians, Newbridge". Case is mahogany veneer and panels over oak carcass. Bill bought this clock at Bourne's in Hyannis, in May of 1988.  Ht 39"   $4,000--$5,000

455.  C.1890, French for Shreve, Crump & Low, Boston, half life size female figure in spelter, holding a bronze sphere containing a clock.   Condition:  this clock is as-found, but worthy of restoration. The dial has been damaged with a large chunk of porcelain absent at 1 o'clock and with numerous other cracks.  The dial center with the Boston retailer fired into the porcelain still good, with crack.  Open escape movement appears to have all wheels, but is missing F/S rod and suspension unit and no pendulum either; is dirty, has been idle for decades.  Also bezel over dial is absent with empty hinge showing.  Still an interesting piece.  Ht 61"  $4,000--$5,000

456.  C.1880, American, Geo. Jones Wall  regulator, 8-day, 1-weight with center seconds.  Condition:  Generally good restored condition, the walnut case professionally refinished; center finial slightly crooked.  The porcelain dial is good with minor chip at winding grommet.  Original pendulum has some dents; hangs on rear of movement.  This movement, typical of Jones production has heavy baluster pillars and maintaining power, and with brocot escapement on a toothed escape wheel.  Movement bears serial #109 on bottom of plate Ht 56"   $3,000--$4,000

457.  C.1920, Colonial Mfg Co., Zeeland, MI Model 1095, 9-tube, 3-tune, rolling moon, 3-weight tall clock in Honduras mahogany.  Condition:  this is a one family clock, and except for an amateur paint job on the moon dial, has received good care.  The young folks who inherited the clock did not want to bear the cost of cleaning, so decided to sell it.  It has stood in one spot for the last 80+ years and that is evident in the clean condition.  The clock is illustrated in Ly's longcase clock book, on page 80; the movement is illustrated on page 71, "Mov't #82, Imported Eight-Day Three Chime Nine Tubular Bell"  The movement is signed W+H, for Winterhalder & Hofmeier.  Good brass dial.  Beveled glass in lower front door.  Weight through bottom panel once. Ht 97"  $3,000--$5,000

458.  C.1900, American Case, 9-tube, 3-weight, two chime mahogany hall clock, Gothic style, for Fred Bucher & Sons, Baltimore {engraved on dial}.   Condition:  the mahogany case has been attractively refinished at some point.  This gothic clock has a quality German movement by Wilhelm Muller [Mulheim an Donau] and with impressed lion trademark, over "U-M".  This case is virtually identical to the Herschede model 83 from their 1905 catalog.  The sides of the case have as much character as the front {see side view}.  The tubes for this clock are an unusual design with a domed top; have a great sound.  Plays Westminster & Whittington.  Will need cords from levers to hammers.  Ht 102"   $7,000--$9,000

459.  C.1920, Colonial Mfg Co., Hall Clock No. 1320, in mahogany, with 3-tune, 3-weight German movement, in a mahogany case.  Condition:  this clock is in very good original condition; the only minor hurts that keep it from being excellent are some short ends of missing molding on the back edge, near the top {not noticeable}  This particular clock has the smaller diameter tubular bells.  Retains matched set of original pulleys and weights.  The movement has brushed plates, but not the usual W+H marking on the rear, rather has "HW" at top of dial, which stands for Hausuhrenfabrik Winterhalder, their domestic production arm in Neustadt.  A good clock.  Ht 90"   $3,000--$5,000

460.  C.1920, American, 5-Tube, Westminster chime tall clock with phases of the moon.   Condition:   the mahogany case has some small dents in the crest over the dial from old shipping damage; gone over with stain and is not too noticeable {someone good with shellac sticks could blend it in fine}.  One of the cables broke and has been tied together for the foto.  The original weights got lost and this old set is from another clock and chime weight is too small to power the quarter chime.  We used commercial "S" hooks to hang these weights for the foto.  Retains original tubes, dial pendulum and case hardware, and if you can solve the weight situation, you will end up with a good 3-train clock.  Levers for chime silent and strike silent are on the dial outside of 3 & 9. Although very similar to a Herschede model, neither movement nor dial are signed.  Ht 80"   $1,500--$1,800

460a.  C.1975, Spanish, Marton & Gain, 2-fusee, full striking skeleton clock, less dome.  Condition:  seems to tick and strike OK, has been in storage without a cover and could use a good cleaning.  We sold the cousin to this in last May's sale.  The Victorian 2-train skeletons that Christies sold for Mr. Schmitt in June this year, brought in the range of $4,000 to $8,000, but we expect our estimate is correct for this 20th century model.  With Marton & Gain original sticker on base.  Ht 17"   $1,250--$1,750

460b.  C.1895, German, Winterhalder & Hofmeier, 3-fusee {all chain}, 8-bell, 5-gong quarter chime bracket clock, in an alt Deutsch style case.   Condition: heavy and well made movement is ticking and chiming melodiously, signed at base of rear plate W+H, Schl.  The large and heavy oak case has been refinished, and a center split in the front of the case has been filled with a narrow strip of oak and stained to match.  It is still an impressive looking and sounding piece.  Ht 36"   $3,000--$4,000

461.  Movement only, Edwardian, Scottish origin, 8-day Astro regulator timepiece, with independent seconds, minutes and hours, replaced brass dial.  Condition - Robustly made brass movement with deadbeat escapement maintaining ratchet; pawl for maintaining power is spring loaded, under the barrel.  The steelwork has some surface rust that will need attention.  The movement runs at least 8-days and possibly longer as the weight is doubly compounded {double pulley intact}.  Movement is mounted to its original seatboard with a decorative mahogany front-piece; rear "ears" broken away.  There is no weight nor meter pendulum.  Note there are 4 extra dial feet holes in the front plate, therefore the current dial, signed James McLatchie, Edinburgh, was installed later; dial with tarnish.  Ht 11.5"   $600--$900

461a.  C.1900, English, Skeleton Clock, chain fusee with passing strike on the hour.  Condition - Scalloped dial is painted and with some wear.  Simple gothic frame was produced in quantity before WWI.  Movement is in as found condition and will need a cleaning and polishing.  Movement comes with a newer base that has turned brass feet.  With good glass dome {not in foto}.  Ht of clock 13", with dome and base 20"  $500--$700

461b.  C.1875, Jerome & Co. (New Haven Clock Co.), 8-day time/strike/alarm shelf clock.  Condition - Rosewood and mahogany veneered case in very nice condition with original finish.  There is small piece of veneer missing the right back edge of the top.  Original painted dial has some minor paint flaking.  Grommet on the strike side-winding hole is missing.  Original gutta percha medallions.   Hands and both glasses are original.  Nice label on door back, visible when door is open.  Nice small pattern wallpaper applied to the backboard.   Ht 16.5"   $150--$250

461c.  C.1875 Jerome & Co., (New Haven Clock Co.),  8-day time & strike shelf clock.  Condition - Rosewood veneer and ebonized trim is in very nice condition with original finish.  Case retains original gutta percha inserts in the dial surround and lower door.  Painted dial has had some minor restoration.  Nice label on the inside, back of the door.  Ht 16.25"   $200--$300

461d.  C.1825-35, Mixed lot Pillar and Scroll, a likely Ives movement in a restored case with the back from a column and splat bearing label of Hotchkiss & Fields, Burlington, Conn.  Condition:   scrolls, returns and feet are about 50 years old, with dirt and patination, but not done to proper proportions.  Both glasses and the oxidized solid brass finials were new 50 years or so ago.  Movement held in position with added wood blocks; seems to tick and strike. Nice dial with some horizontal paint loss. Good looking clock for someone needing a decorative item.  Ht 32"   $400--$600

462.  C.1870, French, Unusual Black lacquer mantel regulator, with open escapement and seconds dial at top, and an additional seconds dial at the bottom and a simple calendar behind that dial.   Condition:  overall clean and in running order. This unsigned movement has key set beat adjust, and a cou per du style lever on the crutch to impulse an additional 60 tooth wheel that is pivoted behind the rear plate. This wheel has a gravity detent at the bottom, necessary to keep the wheel and hand from traveling in reverse as the top lever drags back across the teeth.  Ht 16.5"   $3,000--$4,000

463.  C.1890, French for Tiffany & Co., New York, gilt bronze ladies desk clock with guilloche side panels depicting ladies in gowns.    Condition:  this clock has had a hard life and is waiting for restoration.  Both side panels have some cracks and corner damage, still looking Ok and will respond to restoration; the detail on the ladies gowns and faces is fine.  The well made gong strike movement {a small unit} is signed Tiffany & Co., as is the 2.3" dial which also has polychrome decorations.  The top of the bronze case has a bagpipe and a tambourine amongst ribbons.  When fully restored this clock would fetch $5,000, so leave  room to pay for needed work. Ht 10.5"  $2,500--$3,000

464.  C.1890, Marti & Cie, 8-day time/strike black marble calendar clock, day, date and month.   Condition - Ebonized Black marble case has very nicely restored.  Original porcelain dial is perfect on the outer chapter ring, but the inner dial has a chip around the time side winding hole that extends up into the month ring slightly.  Hands are original.  The beveled glass door panel has some small chips near the hinge.  Movement is also signed "Baschet Bailler, Paris".  This was a firm that specialized in calendar movements.  Note this calendar must be corrected at the end of short months.  Ht 15"   $800--$1,200

465.  C.1910, Vermont Clock Co., Crystal Regulator,  brass and 4-glass, 8-day gong striking clock.  Condition:  The minute hand got broken off and was glued on; we are unsure if the tip of the shaft is damaged.  The movement is not marked on this particular clock, but is certainly either a Fairhaven or a Vermont Clock Co item, with highly damascene, nickel plated rear plate and bridge.  Minute hand can be dealt with by a good clock maker.  Is running as is.  Ht 9.5"   $350--$450

466.  C.1914, Ansonia Clock Co., "Prism", 8-day time/strike crystal regulator.  Condition - Polished brass case shows signs of good care, but would benefit from a polishing.  Porcelain dial with a brilliant surround is perfect.  Hands are original.  All the beveled glass panels are perfect.  Premium round movement, with rack striking, is properly signed.  Ht 11.75"   $350--$450

467.  C.1935, German, Black Forest Cuckoo, Large, one day, 2-weight, 10 leaf pattern with 3 adult birds and 2 chicks in the nest.  Condition:  Bill bought this clock in October of 2004; it came from a home In Shrewsbury, NH  Minor nicks to leaf tips and top bird beak, but otherwise very nice. This clock has been serviced and is running and coo-king very nicely.  Small side dust covers are missing but can be easily made.  Height shown is from the wing of tip bird to tip of pendulum…27"  $600--$800

468.  C.1915, Ansonia Clock Co., Royal Bonn, "La Seine", 8-day time/strike, open escapement, porcelain mantel clock.  Condition - Very pretty blue green case in very fine condition with very little wear to the applied gold accents.  Porcelain dial is perfect and hands are proper.  Movement is signed; has been oiled recently and does tick and strike, but a bit dirty.  Rear cover is a replacement. American sash and bezel are pressed brass.  Ht 11.5"   $500--$700

468a.  C.1895, Ansonia Clock Co., Royal Bonn, 8-day time and gong strike, porcelain mantel clock.   Condition:  left fruit spray was broken and glued long ago, and the glue now discolored; seen on close inspection, but not from a distance.  This is a very uncommon model, however we had one in Pink {rather than blue as this one} in the last May auction, lot 102, that attracted a lot of interest.  Again there is a good Bonn trademark on the rear, but no model name is present.  In our best judgment, these models with gold trademark pre-date the prolific output of porcelain cases in the 1900—1915 era.  Ht 16"   $400--$600

469.  C.1845, Brewster & Ingrahams, Fusee Steeple,  30 hour time and strike with original brass springs.   Condition:  the only thing that keeps this from being excellent is the missing gong & gong base; an old one can be found on a mart table at a large clock meeting.  The mahogany veneer is in good shape; original finish nicely waxed, great original cut glass tablet, dial and superior label.  Ht 19.5"   $400--$500

470.  C.1917, Waterbury Clock Co., Chime Clock No. 502, mahogany, quarter hour Westminster chime clock.   Condition:   someone has sprayed lacquer over the original finish which is still intact underneath the spray fog.  Three is a chip in the dial around the center arbor that is not noticeable.  Balance of the clock is original and very good.  For reference see Tran Ly's Waterbury book [2001], page 129.  Waterbury describes this as "Full Westminster Quarter Hour Chime on Five Straight Wire Gongs", and with "bronze finished feet, bases and caps".  Large 3-tr solid plate movement with open springs.  Ht 17.6"    $350--$450

471.  C.1845, Forestville Manufacturing Co., 8-day time-strike fusee steeple clock with alarm.  Condition - Refinished mahogany case is in generally good condition with a couple of chips one side of the base, lower door, and some minor veneer repairs.  Original dial has paint loss and flaking.  Fusee movement is signed.  Alarm movement is also a fusee {wooden cone}.  Frosted tablet is original.  Door latch needs repair.  An early and interesting steeple clock.  Ht 20"   $400--$600

472.  C.1890, French, Guilmet, Paris, Swinging Arm Clock,  patinated spelter statue on red marble base.  Condition:   seems to run Ok.  The movement with the signature imprint of Guilmet and serial number 3117, has a pivoted pendulum, carefully shaped so as to be contained between the winding arbor and one pillar, thus avoiding damage to the 'scape wheel during transit.  The dial has hairlines and a chip near 8.  The gilt and steel arm bears serial number 3191, so is not perhaps original to the movement.  The stud in the bottom of the statue has been re-newed and is not in the center of the base.  Still a decorative swing clock.  Ht 29.5"   $1,750--$2,250

473.  C.1900, Ansonia Clock Co., "La Bretagne", 8-day time/strike porcelain mantel clock.    Condition - Apple green porcelain case with flowers is in nice condition with general wear to the applied gold.  Porcelain dial and beveled door glass are perfect.  Hands are original.  The brass grommet on the strike side of the dial is missing.  Movement is properly signed.  Good Bonn trademark on rear.  Ht 15"   $600--$800

474.  C.1904, Ansonia Clock Co., "La Clairmont",  8-day time/strike porcelain mantel clock.  Condition - A very pretty dark green case with a Dutch scene in very nice condition.  Original porcelain dial is perfect and the hands are original.  Movement is signed.  The metal access door on the rear of the case is missing, but can be easily obtained from a source like Timesavers.  Of the two painted models offered, this was the more expensive.  Ht 11.75"   $400--$600

475.  C.1945?, Wilson, Warden & Co., London, barograph or recording barometer.  Condition - Hardwood case is in good condition with an original finish; some nicks and scrapes.  The drum is turned by a clock mechanism and the barometer has the serial no. 5179/45.  The 45 may indicate the year it was made.  Case has a small slide out drawer in one end that would have held the ink supplies.  The unit comes with a package of recording paper and a set of operating instructions.  A well made instrument.  Ht 7.75"   $250--$350

479.  C.1929, {dated} Walker Hall Ltd, 8-day time/strike Westminster chime bracket clock, presentation.  Condition - Mahogany case is in very nice condition with original finish with some minor scratches.  Silvered brass dial is very clean with a small ding at about 2 o'clock.  Hands are original.  Case houses a French made movement chiming on heavy round gongs.  There is an engraved plaque on the base that reads: "To Mr. C.

In good running order.  Ht 12"   $600--$800

482.  C.1836, E. W. Adams, 8-day time/strike column and cornice shelf clock.  Condition - Refinished mahogany veneered case in nice condition with a new top cornice that is properly made, using an original as a guide. There are some veneer chips on the base in a couple of places {not too noticeable}.   Mirror above the dial is original, but has a section missing.   The dial glass is old, replaced maybe 50 years ago, with a vertical score mark. Middle glass is original, but cracked.  Bottom door and mirror are replacements.   The case probably had carved paw feet that are now missing.  Original and very decorative dial is in very nice condition with some fading of the numbers and the chapter ring.  The strap brass movement is original to the case.  Label is an over-paste of an original Marshall & Adams label signifying the breakup of the pair in 1836.  A picture of this case can be found in "An Empire in Time, Clock and Clock makers of upstate New York" by Russ Oechsle and Helen Boyce, page 83.  Ht 37.5"   $600--$800

491.  C.1996, Reuge Music Co., St. Croix, Switzerland, 3-tune music movement in an Italian box in the shape of a ladies dressing table, with marquetry inlay on all 4 sides and the top.  Condition:   new old stock, this one has no box, but still plays crisply, three tunes:  Lara's Theme {Dr. Zhivago},  Edelweiss, and "Sound of Music" theme.  On off switch front center.  These retailed originally for around $700, and are well made. This is the last one of 3.  Ht 7.75"  $225--$325

492.  C.1915, Ansonia Clock Co, Short Drop Octagon, in oak, with 8- day time and strike movement.   Condition:   this clock has been nicely restored, the case refinished and mov't cleaned some time ago.  Has a good look.  Retains xlnt label inside case.  Ht 25"   $200--$300

494.  C.1980, Boston Area Banjo, with signed E. O. Stennes movement & weight and a dial with his signature added.   Condition:   this is a tough call, but in our estimation, a clock finished after Elmer's death.  The quality of the case is only fair, with a thin backboard that failed and had to have the hanger attached with machine screws and nuts.  The gilding and tablets are exceptional and the clock is very photogenic.  Someone struggled to complete the dial signature as you can see a shadow where the name was lightly scratched in first before the black was added, and finally a little lacquer was applied over the signature, giving the area a shiny appearance.  Finally the dial has 2 position holes that never received pins on this case.  Ht 42"   $1,200--$1,600

495.  C.1880, E. N. Welch Mfg, Forestville, Conn, SHORT DROP OCTAGON, 12" dial in rosewood, 8-day time and strike.  Condition:   the original finish has been touched up and waxed, a couple of veneer chips filled in, the dial has been repainted, and the name of a retailer:  Skarrett & Co., Worcester.  Movement is clean and ticks and strikes.  Ready to enjoy.  Ht 24"   $200--$300

497.  C.1920, Sessions Clock Co, Small Banjo  timepiece, with 6" dial and stagecoach tablet in the bottom door, 8-day pendulum movement.   Condition:   generally very good condition.  This is a model that does not turn up that often, with curved wooden sides, almost with "built-in" sidearms.  There is some silvering loss on the dial.  Hands, dial, eagle and pendulum all original.  Ht 28"   $200--$300

498.  C.1890, French, Japy, Bronze Architectural clock, 8-day bell strike.   Condition:  this is an excellent clock, well maintained and in good running order. The only minor point a purist would note is a new rear dust cover and a screw to latch it.  Well made round movement bears Japy award medallion, and the letters "EM".  Of note is the interesting dial of cast acanthus leaves, silvered to make it easier to tell time, and with 12 individual porcelain cartouche, all perfect.  Ht 16.5"   $700--$900

499.  C.1874, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "Victoria" 30-hour time/strike City Series mantel clock.  Rosewood veneered case is excellent condition with an original finish.  Dial has had an average repaint, looks OK.  The glasses are original. The hands have been replaced.  The gilt molding surrounding the door is worn to gesso.  This model was revised in 1879; see Ly's 3rd edition of Seth Thomas Clocks, page 211.  Ht 15.5"   $175--$275

500.  C.1845, Terry & Andrews, 8-day time/strike shelf clock.   Condition - Rosewood veneered case is in very nice condition with original finish.  Some of the applied gold decoration in the base remains.  Original painted dial is in very nice condition for its age.  Hands and both glasses are original.  Tablet is flaking.  Original movement intact.  Good label inside case. Ht 15.5"   $200--$300

501.  C.1870, Waterbury Clock Co., 8-day time/strike, double door OOG shelf clock.  Condition - Refinished mahogany case in nice condition with some minor veneer repairs and a couple of chips on the upper door.  Door holds what looks to be an original portrait glass with some restoration.  Original painted metal dial is very good for its age.  Hands are original.  Ht 30"   $175--$275

502.  C.1832, Jeromes & Darrow,  30-hour time/strike wood movement half column & splat shelf clock.  Condition - Mahogany veneered case in good condition with a decayed original finish.  There has been some veneer repair on the bottom of the door.  Splat with some damage, but with an original stencil.  Remains of some of the stenciling can still be found on the columns.  Mirror is a replacement. Original dial is very nice.  Movement is correct for the case.  Key escutcheon is missing.  Ht 33"   $175--$275

503.  C.1865, E. N. Welch Mfg. Co.,  30-hour time/strike OG Shelf clock. Condition - Mahogany veneered case is in nice condition with original finish and a single veneer chip along the right side, rear [surrounding veneer loose at that point].  Tablet and hands are original.  Original painted metal dial has some wear around the winding arbors.  Case lacks a label, but the movement is marked.   Very good despite missing label.  Ht 25.75"   $100--$200

504.  C.1860, Jerome & Co., 8-day time/strike, double door OG shelf clock.  Condition - Nice clean mahogany case with one piece of veneer missing on the bottom right corner.  Mirror in the bottom door appears to be original.  Dial and movement are original.  Hands maybe replacements. Will clean up nicely  Ht 30"   $175--$275

505.  C.1830, E. Terry & Sons, 30-hour time/strike wooden movement half-column & splat shelf clock.  Condition - Mahogany veneered case with an original finish is in pretty nice condition, but will need some minor veneer repair on the base and top edges.  Stenciling on the columns and splat is original.  Top splat is cracked.  Caps on the top of the chimneys will need some repair.  Mirror in door not original.  Movement dust cover on the backboard is missing.  Dial has been re-blacked over original surface; minute bumps are still intact.  Great orig paw feet.  Ht 34"   $300--$500

505a.  C.1775, Austrian, 8-Day Gilt Wood mantel clock with porcelain dial and bell strike, silk suspension.   Condition:   Someone has brushed over the entire case with gold paint.  The bell standard has been replaced.  Otherwise, the heavy movement is of exceptional quality with large baluster style pillars and giant ratchet wheels on the rear plate, typical of this era.  The porcelain dial attaches to the dial plate with small screws, and other than some minor chips at those attachment points, the dial is excellent.  A dust cover is held onto the rear of the case by 3 turn screws, a metal screen replacing the original silk.  The pendulum is a composite, made of 2 French bobs with a new wire attached; the original would likely have been repoussé brass and very light, although the clock will tick with this.  It is very uncommon to find 8 day clocks from this period in Austria, and we feel this deserves a proper Viennese restoration.  Ht 27"   $1,000--$1,500

505b.  C.1860, French, Japy Fils,  4-Column Empire style mantel clock with engraved brass and enamel inlays, 8-day, bell strike.  Condition:  Overall very good condition, there are some corner scratches, a repair to the base just above one foot, and the top got scraped by something and has been blacked over.  Porcelain in the temperature-compensating pendulum and dial are perfect; moon hands original.  The well made bell strike movement is signed with the Silver award medallion of Japy for exhibition years 1844-1849, so it is likely the movement would have been made in the decade following.  Their awards were prolific and they updated their die with each new award.  Ht 19"   $600--$800

505c.  C.1916, German, Lenzkirch, 8-day time & strike gilt carved cartel clock.  Condition - Carved and gilt case is in very nice clean with an embossed brass bezel; perhaps the gilding is over a hardwood base, but we are uncertain, only that the gilding was redone maybe 25 years ago..  Silvered dial is very clean with some minor discoloration of the gilt center.  Heavy embossed hands are original.  Signed movement has the serial no. 1,868,818; see year chart in "150 Years of Lenzkirch Uhren" published in Germany, 2001, page 38.  Ht 29"   $500--$700

505d.  C.1895, Boston Clock Co.,  8-day time & strike, tandem wind, marble garniture set.  Condition - French style marble case is in very nice condition with a small chip on the back edge of a marble side molding and a small chip on one corner of the top.  Original dial with porcelain numerals is perfect and the hands are original.  Original cast mountings show remains of gilding.  Single winding arbor for the time and strike lever movement has the number 5579 stamped on the cover to the spring barrel.  Matching set of candelabra is in nice condition with some roughness on the sharp edges of the marble bases. Rear access door is missing.  Candelabra are 25.5" high.  Clock= 15.75"   $700--$900

506.  C.1835, R. E. Northrop, New Haven, CT.,  30-hour time/strike wood movement carved half column & splat shelf clock.  Condition - Stripped mahogany case by an unusual maker in pretty good condition with restoration.  Top chimneys have been replaced.  The beautiful shell carved splat has a small piece of wood missing on the back.   Northrop was a carver and could have carved the columns and splat.  Movement is very clean and looks like a Seth Thomas. Mirror is a replacement.   Original dial is very good.  Ht 33"   $200--$300

507.  C.1890, French, 3-Cupids with Swinging Doll pendulum, 8-day time & bell strike, patinated spelter case.  Condition:  there is a spider of hairlines on the dial near 9 [not visible in foto], but no chips.  Movement is complete and sound, ticking and striking.  Case has been refinished and there are no apparent breaks nor absent metal.  We have not had this particular case with a swing doll before and it is quite interesting.  Patent escapement with two escape wheels and "chaff cutter" verge. Ht 15.5"  $750--$1,000

508.  C.1883, Ansonia Clock Co., "Marbelite No. 8",  8-day time/strike hard rubber case mantel clock.  Condition - Molded hard rubber case in very nice condition with some restoration.  The incised lines in the case decoration have been restored with gold paint.  Original dial has a little wear, but is in very nice condition for its age.  Hands are original.  Movement is signed.  Nice label on back of case.  These are hard to find in this condition. Ht 15.25"   $400--$600

509.  C.1880, French Industrial Timepiece, and barometer, brass finished in gilt in silver, a poising device with handle at top.    Condition:   generally good original condition.  Interestingly the globe containing the clock and barometer will rotate freely counterclockwise in the circular frame, but will not turn clockwise. Typical platform-cylinder timepiece is working but would benefit from service.  Barometer indications are in Spanish.  Ht 12"  $1,000--$1,500

510.  C.1900, French, Brass & Glass  crystal regulator, 8-day gong strike, with open escapement on dial.   Conditions:  The main item that keeps this from being excellent is a filled chip in the porcelain dial below 6.  this does not show in the foto and is not too noticeable.  Nice Brocot escapement with jeweled pallets.  The mercury vials have been replaced with glass and zinc inserts {now safe from mercury if you want to look at it that way}.  The typical crystal reg is 11"; this one is 13".   $500--$600

511.  C.1920, French, for Scottish retailer, desk timepiece in the shape of a ship's wheel, jeweled lever timepiece, rear wind, with shutter for f/s adjust.   Condition:   the gilding is still bright and the silvered dial still brilliant.  Seems to run fine; original hands and hardware throughout.  Ht 8"  $350--$550

512.  C.1880, French, Dock Theme Industrial series clock, a davit with chain drive blocks & pulleys, the hoist holding a large carriage in which is mounted an 8-day timepiece.   Condition:  the gilding is mostly worn from the brass parts, some gold still showing.  The platform escapement is intact.  The silvered dial is original and in good condition, viewed through a large magnifying lens.  Ht 17"  $2,750--$3,250

513.  C.1900, French, 8-day time/strike shelf clock.  Condition - Carved ebonized mahogany case is in very clean condition with a small piece missing off each corner of the base and a minor loss to the carving at the bottom edge of the curve.  Painted numbers in the dial have age darkened a little.  Hands are original.  An unusual clock with fine detail.  Ht 14.5"   $250--$350

514.  A Reproduction Laterndluhr in the style of 1820, rosewood veneer, with an old 1-weight timepiece movement.  Condition:  like new, this cabinetmaker was good with veneer, but apparently did not have an original to copy, as his proportions are slightly off and the top is not removable and the top door lifts out rather than swings out which is the norm [throat and bottom glass do lift out properly].  The silvered dial is signed Joh. Borowansky, Wien, and with a good period cast bezel from still another clock.  Overall a good looking clock that can serve as a place holder until you can afford an original.  Ht 38"   $1,000--$1,500

515.  C.1832, Joseph Dyar, Middlebury, VT, (Attrib),  8-day time & alarm wall clock {2-wt}.  Dyar apprenticed to Lemuel Curtis in Concord and moved to Vermont in 1822.  Condition - A very unusual mahogany and gilt wall timepiece.  Dial is new with modern Dyar signature.  Hands appear to be very nice copies of old hands.  Gilding on the bezel has been restored.  Unusual weight brass movement with an alarm.  There is handwriting on the back of the door that attributes this timepiece to Dyar and stating that it was found in the attic of his home after his death, however the penmanship is poor.  There is a wooden spacer board {made from an old shipping crate}  that is not original, added to raise the movement, however the movement may have sat on a seat board originally.  To be sure this alarm movement would have required a large head case such as this.  The door and case have a nice old finish.  Truncated or tapered cases like this are unique to the northern Vermont-Montreal area.  Ht 52"   $2,000--$3,000

516.  C.1914, Ansonia, CLAUDIUS,  4-Glass crystal regulator, 8-day, rack striking,  with porcelain dial.   Condition:  all 4 beveled glasses are good; gilt case has some loss of gold, but still quite bright.  Good original dial, hands, and pendulum.  Note little "widows walk" around the top of the case.  A hard to find model that is in very nice condition.  Ht 11.25"  $350--$450

517.  C.1865, S. B. Jerome & Co., New Haven,  small leather covered "marine timepiece", with original Welch movement.   Condition:   despite some minor wear/chips to the dial and some bubbling of the leather, this clock is in excellent original condition.  Original putty intact in bezel with orig glass.  Edge of case has a spun brass trim that does not show well in the foto, as it is dark.  Original bezel latch is also intact. S. B. Jerome did not make his own movements, rather purchased them from E. N. Welch and LaPorte Hubbell.  Diameter = 9"  $200--$300

518.  C.1870, Ithaca Calendar Clock Co., Variant of the Model No. 5, 8-day with strike.   Condition:  on the left side the bottom edge of the top rounded molding is missing its tip, but you have a sample on the right to copy.  The number 5 has a simple chamfered edge, whereas this earlier model still has a finish molding all the way around the front.  The top movement is the original, as made by E N. Welch, and the calendar mechanism is original as well, with rollers a bit dark but still good, days of week roller slightly out of alignment.  Decent label on original back, secondary label too dark to read. Ht 20.5"   $500--$700

519.  C.1900, French, Marble 8-day time/strike mantel clock with open escapement.  Condition - This heavy black and green marble clock is nice condition with some roughness on some of the sharp edges of the base and the back edges.  Most of the numbers on the silvered dial are faded and worn and will need restoration.  Someone has placed a piece of green felt like material in the center of the dial.  Hands are original.  Movement strikes on a circular gong.  No shipping on this 70-lb clock.  Ht 16.5"   $250--$350

520.  C.1890, French, Marble and Spelter figural mantel clock,  titled Le Triomphe de Pamour.  Condition:  the spelter figures have been over painted with gold; small boy at right has a repair at his ankle.  The well made bell strike movement has been cleaned and is running and striking.  The porcelain dial is good and the hands are original.  A brass plaque at the base of the monument bears the title above.  Ht 17"   $300--$400

521.  C.1925, Waltham, 8-Day Mirror Clock for Ovington Dept Store, New York.   Condition:  the 8-day stem wind movement seems sound, ticking but in need of service.  The art deco style frame is missing some gesso trim on both bottom corners, and right top; if you are handy with plaster you can repair-+.  Glasses, dial and hands are original.  Ht 36"   $175--$275

522.  C.1911, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "Chime No. 14,  8-day time/strike 4-bell Sonora chime mantel clock {similar to Westminster tune}.   Condition - Refinished mahogany case is in clean condition, some spots where the refinisher failed to remove all the old finish..  Silvered dial is tarnished a little with some scratches around in the winding holes.  Hands are original.  Someone has replaced the strike/silent lever with aluminum; works OK; nice tone on bells.  Ht 14.75"   $250--$350

523.  C.1860, French, Morbier or Comptoise movement, GRAND SONNERIE, 3-TRAIN on 4 bells {3-note quarter and large deep toned bell for the hour.   Condition:   anchor escape movement is sound and complete, both strike trains with racks and levers intact.  Movement was recently re-cabled but has gotten separated from 3 weights and a pendulum which you will need.  The dial is white paint over tin, done a Long time ago, now discolored to dark yellow.  Note the time is wound through the dial at 6 while quarters and hours are wound lower right and left in the dial surround.  Right dust door needs top pin.  The repoussé brass dial mask depicts a young couple holding hands [folk dancing?] at harvest time {many sheaves of wheat} with musician at left, onlooker at right.  Ht 19"   $1,000--$1,500

524.  C.1780, Swiss, Neuchatel Clock, 2-train, crown verge, bracket clock, quarter strike on vertical bells.   Condition:  this clock had suffered losses and someone with limited skills has replaced the double count wheels on the rear plate. He also made a new top trim/bell cover from a piece of solid mahogany and painted it to match the rest of the case.  Finally, the original curved dial has numerous repairs to chipped porcelain.  The movement is original to the case, and the wheelwork between the plates appears intact; has typical "hammer-shift" mechanism that uses one hammer to strike both the hour and quarter.  A nice project for a good mechanic who appreciates early Swiss items.  Ht 24"   $1,000--$1,500

525.  C.1890, German, 2-Weight "Vienna Regulator", 8-day time and gong strike, in a walnut case.   Condition:  the movement is original to the case.  The case has been stripped, the finials are new and the top is new, made of old pieces. There is small piece of veneer missing on the bottom section of the door The brass pendulum bob has a single dent at 5 o'clock.  Movement has been cleaned and is ticking and striking.  Retains a perfect porcelain dial with no chips; minute and hour hand original; seconds hand replaced.  Still, it is quite photogenic and would make a good clock for a waiting room or reception area.  Ht 51"   $500--$700

526.  C.1904, American 110v Electric Banjo, in a nicely carved mahogany case and with porcelain dial.  Condition:  overall very good condition, this clock is out of a house in Vermont, still in working condition with old cord {cord /plug will need replacing soon, but were safe enough to test operation}.  The Telechron style movement is clearly original to the case, and with original porcelain dial in perfect condition.  Dial marked:  Patent 1904.  Great for the guy that doesn't want to wind his banjo.  Ht  28"  $200--$300

527.  C.1910, Sessions Clock Co., "Regulator No. 2",  wall regulator, electrified, advertising.  Condition - Clean stripped oak case now fitted with the dial, movement and hand set up complete from a C.1925 Telechron gallery clock {red warranty card inside}.  Original top glass.  The appliance repair firm that owned the clock probably replaced the bottom glass, and inserted the movement.  Bill has enjoyed this clock for may years as is, however the purist could easily install a Welch or Sessions long drop spring movement to restore it.   Partial Sessions label on rear. .  Ht 38.25"   $200--$300

528.  C.1890, New Haven Clock Co., 8-day time/strike "Vienna regulator". This was a clock with an 8-day spring movement made by New Haven in an attempt to compete with the German Viennas being brought in from Europe, and so quickly accepted by the American public. They offered a large and small version; it is unknown whether they made the cases or imported them.    Condition - Walnut veneered case in very nice condition with an original finish.  Original painted dial is in nice condition with a slight darkening from age.  Hands are original.  Movement is signed.  Top finials are not original; could be darkened.  Ht 42"   $500--$700

530.  C.1840, French, 8-day time/strike silk thread suspension mantel clock, gilt repoussé case.  Condition - Tooled sheet brass gilded rococo style case with applied porcelain flowers is in very nice restored condition.  Porcelain dial has hairline cracks and some repairs and is chipped around the winding arbors.  Hands are original.  Well made bell strike movement bears only the number 97.  This clock probably had a dome originally, but may also be displayed in a case.  Ht 14.25"   $250--$350

531.  C.1905, French, Egyptian Revival, black marble mantel clock, incised with winged insect on base.   Condition:  this clock has been very well cared for, only the smallest imperfections in the marble; gold filled incising is still bright, original gilt brass feet intact.  The well made bell strike movement is recently attended to, and running fine; porcelain dial with open escapement is perfect.  The depiction on the base at first looks like a Phoenix, but if you look closely you will see it has 6 legs.  Ht 11.3"   $300--$400

532.  C.1965, Swiss, LeCoultre, Atmos, Never wind clock, running on changes in temperature and pressure, with original sales receipt dated 1965, from Sprang Jewelry in Los Angeles.  Condition:  clock is in good running order, and has been obviously well cared for.

Ht 15.25"   $400--$500

534.  C.1890, French, Swinging Doll Timepiece, in a gilt white metal case with ormolu 'doll pendulum".   Condition:   the case has been nicely restored with a brushed gold leaf compound and looks pretty good.  The movement is ticking OK, and is especially nice in that the front plate is cut out to expose the gears.  The patent "chaff cutter" escapement uses tow escape wheels, with the "cutter" verge alternating from one wheel, back to the other.  Ht 11.5"   $500--$700

535.  C.1874, Seth Thomas' Sons & Co, NY,  No.8023, Huntress figural mantel clock.  Condition:   this clock was a last minute addition from a house in Reading, Mass, and is original and complete in every way; only small losses to finish here and there.  For reference, see Tran Ly's part 2 of his 3rd and latest edition of Seth Thomas Clocks & Movements, page 1050.  Note the pattern changed in 1874, with the addition of the deer with antlers on the center of the base.  Seth Thomas offered the clock in 3 finishes, French Bronze, Verde Antique, or Light Verde, of which this one is the first.  Note the bow and arrow are shipped loose and laid in her hands, so be careful NOT to lose these, the original ones.  Ht 20"   $500--$750

537.  C.1880, French, "Upside-Down Mystery" timepiece, held aloft by a patinated spelter statue of a lady looking pensively into a pond.  Condition:  Overall very good condition, except that the suspension spring has been replaced and no longer has a "safety" catch to keep the arm from falling if the spring fails.  By the length of the pendulum, you can see that it beats something around half seconds, and if the globe contained a small pendulum, it would run way to fast.  Guilmet solved this problem, by designing a "compound rotary pendulum", suspended by an X-spring like a swinging arm clock utilizes.  This is contained within the sphere and confounds the on-looker who is mystified as to how it could run, with the movement itself acting as the pendulum bob.  There is no contact between the arm and the statue, below the suspension point.  A bonus in this particular clock is the fancy champlevé enamel applied to the ring surrounding the sphere. There is some loss of finish here and there on the spelter.  Ht 23.5"   $10,000--$12,500
