Ht from bottom of crutch to top = 14" [35.5cm]  $2,000--$2,500

105A.   C.1840, French, B & C, Paris, gold & floral decorated porcelain clock on carved wooden base.   Condition:  It appears that at some time in its life, the original porcelain base to the clock was lost and a skilled carver made a wooden substitute with nice detail.  The pendulum is missing, however replacements are available from Timesavers; note pendulum swings through slot in base and is visible through the orifice in front.  The well made bell strike movement with silk thread suspension is ticking and striking {signed as in headline}.  Original porcelain dial is good with minor hairlines.  A period antique that can still be appreciated despite the changed base; would be $600 if complete & original.  Overall ht 14.5"   $200--$300

105B.   C.1925, German, Kienzle, Westminster Chime bracket clock, as-found, from storage.   Condition:  the mahogany veneer on this clock came up in a couple of places and has been glued back down, and the entire case sanded and re-finished {not a stellar job, but looks OK}..

Cutout in the rear of the case has been recently enlarged, and would be improved with a door.  This is the largest tambour case we have ever seen.  Ht 27.5"  [69.8 cm]  $300--$400

111C.   C.1872  Terhune & Edwards, New York, 8-day time/strike/alarm iron front shelf clock.  Condition:  Cast iron case front in the form of a Scottish Highlander with his dog is in nice condition, but is now over-painted in bright gold.   Case is not marked, but could be a Mueller.  Original movement marked US Clock Co. was used by Terhune & Edwards in their cases.  Stained label inside case.   Ht 15.25"  [38.7 cm]  $275--$375

112.   C.1835, John Birge for George Mitchell, Bristol, Conn.,  8-day time/strike weight triple decker shelf clock, with potential.  Condition:   Mahogany veneered case with remains of an old finish in good condition with some veneer loss and chips especially on the bottom.  Some veneer has been replaced on the upper door and the bone lock inserts on both doors are missing.  Original dial is in pretty good condition with some wear to the numbers.  Gilt areas on the case are worn and will need attention.  The two caps on the chimneys are upside down.  Case houses a nice Ives roller pinion movement with pewter winding drums.  The top glass and bottom tablet are missing.  Case retains original dust covers.  Hands appear to be original, but the hour hand needs a new tin collar to fit to the hour pipe.  Ht 36"  [91.4cm]  $300--$400

113.   C.1910, German, shelf cuckoo,  2-day time/strike  with restorations.  Condition:   Refinished walnut case in generally good condition with carved leaves and flowers, rather than the more typical leaves and grapes; bird at top has been broken and glued.  Case houses a cast brass plate, spring wound movement.  Pendulum and hands are original.  Bellows have been replaced with a modern plastic version, but could be easily restored with a pair from an old wreck.  Wooden bird  is a later replacement, has no articulated wings as is appropriate.  There is a small label on the backboard from a Philadelphia jeweler who may have retailed this clock.  Movement is clean and clock is in good running order. Ht 21"  [53.3cm]  $400--$500

The trademark shows the name in a circle outside a small clock dial with the time 20 to 4, and a stylized globe to the left.  The modern dial is painted with durable enamel, and with the chapter and name silk screened on. The case front and sides are solid oak, and the back is plywood with veneered front surface.  Has a decent look;  good originals seem to bring $2000.  Ht 36" [92cm]   $600--$800

115A.   C.1860, Austrian, 3-Weight Grand Sonnerie wall clock in a black serpentine case, 8-day full quarter striking.   Condition:  this clock has had a very hard life.  The case originally had a slide mount, and those holes are plugged; now with a 4-post mount, adapted to rod strike.  The door has been sprayed gloss black, inside sprayed flat black, and the finials brushed with gold; no top piece.  Pendulum stick is new; engraved bob from another clock; weights do not match; old pulleys do match; side glass both cracked. Does have an old crank and beat scale.  Ht 41" [104cm]  $400--$500

115B.   Mixed Lot:  19th Century Dutch Tail Clock case, stripped, now with C.1900, German painted dial clock striking movement.   Condition:  this case was apparently grain painted and decorated, now stripped to pine, some additional nicks and scrapes, and nail heads rusty from moisture.  The movement, which was made to hang on the wall, is setting in the case on the original seat board.  The paint on the dial has had some touch up at various numerals, and the paint on the apple, {which is supposed to appear as a cut apple}, is worn some.  The movement appears complete and sound.  Big and decorative.  Ht 55"  [140cm]   $175--$275

115C.   C.1908 Unknown,  30-hour Ansonia backwind lever movement fitted to a miniature tall clock case.  Condition:  Nicely made mahogany case in very nice condition with original finish.  Looks like a case that a careful craftsman made and fitted this movement.  Ht 14.5"  [36.8 cm]  $100--$150

116.   C.1960,  New England, banjo timepiece, 8-day weight.  At first glance this looks like a Waltham banjo with different glasses, but in fact it is a contemporary mahogany case made by a skilled craftsman who copied a Waltham case {minor variations are apparent only when you hold a real Waltham next to this}. He used a circa 1930 Waltham banjo movement, dial, hands and  pendulum; the movement is of the highest quality with maintaining power and bears the Waltham die stamp, and has the serial no. 6941.  The eagle is improper and better replacements are available.   In any case this is a well made & attractive clock.  Note cable has severed and will need re-newing.  Ht 37"   $500--$600

117.   C.1915, Seth Thomas Clock Co, Thomaston, Conn, CHIME CLOCK No. 61, 4-Bell Westminster chime mantel clock on patent Sonora bells.   Condition:  the case was refinished and a couple of dings filled in along the bottom waist molding, will need staining to match.  There are still a couple of side spots that were discolored before refinishing and are noticeable.  The movements have been serviced and seem to run and chime OK, with a very pleasant tone.  Dial, pendulum, hands and all hardware are original.  If you can deal with the small cosmetic issues, you will have a nice clock.  Ht 13.2"  [33cm]   $350--$450

118.   C.1880, Anglo-American, Inlaid Wall clock, 8-day gong strike with mirror behind pendulum.   Condition:  Attractively cross banded & marquetry case with mahogany veneers has been refinished, and is in nice condition.  There appears to have been a little trim top center which is now missing; otherwise the case is complete with its finials, knobbies and rolling pin bottom.  Retains original barrel style pendulum.  Runs robustly.  Much nicer than average.  Ht 37"  [93cm]   $375--$475

Ives, 8-day time/strike triple-decker shelf clock, with large, strap brass roller pinion movement.  Condition:  Refinished mahogany veneered case in good condition with a couple of chips on both doors and a couple of small spots on the case.  Original painted dial is pretty clean with one small area near 10 o’clock and wear to the numbers. Mirror that slides behind the dial to view the escapement is missing.   Hands and mirror are original.  Clock originally had ball shape feet, now absent.  Bottom tablet is a replacement.  Top side returns are missing. This movement is pictured in Roberts' book on Ives, page 110, having plates tapered at top and with large embossed gear wheels with round cut outs.   Ht 36"  [91.4 cm]  $400--$600

120.   C.1890, French, Morez baker's clock, picture frame style with brass & MOP inlay, 8-day gong strike with prayer repeat.   Condition:  overall good+ restored condition.  The outer frame originally had "false grain" over gesso, now painted brown & black.  The original painted dial is in good condition, the maker or retailer's name now just barely visible.  The movement has been recently cleaned, and is running and striking properly.  Interestingly this is a relatively late prayer repeater, with a full brass plated movement, rather than the iron frame we normally associate with this feature; still has robust features and very large spring barrels.  Ht 24.8" [63cm]   $275--$375

121.   C.1875, Terry Clock Co., Waterbury, Conn, GIRL & LAMB, one day, spring, cast white metal case.   Condition:  as most of this type, the case is now painted black.  They were originally with a copper/bronze finish.  This size case came in two versions, the other with BOY & DOG.  All clocks in this series use the S B Terry movement with pivoted pendulum, fine adjustment achieved by turning the small brass bob on the end.  Silas died in 1976 and the firm failed in 1880.  Full label on rear, dark but legible.  Overall very good condition.  Ht 11"  [28cm]   $175--$225

122.   A C.1840, French Lantern Style Morez movement, 2-weight, now in a modern walnut veneer tall case.   Condition:  the robust 1-day movement has full rack ting-tang strike on 2 bells.  The composite dial is made of cast lead components riveted to a brass plate, and the chapter ring is coming loose.  The pendulum is home-made, and the weights are from another clock, however there are easily replaced.  Rear dust cover panels are absent from this case.  You could make a wall mounted wag from the movement if you choose.  Ht 82"  [208cm]   $200--$300

123.   C.1950.  "U.S. Standard", Jeweler's Lathe with around 5 dozen collets, tail stock, steady rest, face plate, cross feed, motor+belts, and a Heathkit solid state motor control.  Overall good condition.  12" [30cm] bedplate.   $150--$250

124.   C.1880, Ansonia Clock Co., NY, QUEEN ELIZABETH, 8-Day time and strike, oak case, LESS top crest.   Condition:  this came out of a house and has been absent its top for a long while; balance is in good original condition.  Original top finials are intact, and retains an especially nice signed dial and properly signed movement.  Would be $1250 if complete.  Ht as shown 32"  [81cm]  $500--$750

125.   C.1850, J. C. Brown, Forestville, Conn, 8-Day, Decorated Iron Front, with an old repair to one foot.  Condition:  other than the repaired foot, case retains most of its original gold stenciling and all MOP decorations; there is a complete label inside the case, a signed movement and a signed dial.  Hour hand is original; minute hand is period and of proper design, just shortened slightly to fit.  Ht 20"  [51cm]   $175--$225

126.   C.1905, Kienzle Clock Factories, 400-day torsion timepiece in very good condition with an original disc pendulum.  Condition:   Movement is in nice condition, but the base and movement plates are tarnished and will need polishing.  Old dome is goodl.  Porcelain dial is perfect and hands are original. Serial number on the pendulum and movement match.   Ht 10.25"  [26 cm]  $125--$225

127.   Mixed lot:  Time train from an A. D. Crane Year movement, now set into a new set of plates, mounted into a Victorian display cabinet, with a metal panel in the lower section.   Condition:   the workman who set this movement up put a lot of time into it, and the fit and finish of the plates and mounting bracket are both very nice, just not old.  The convex fusee is cast brass.  The bezel is an adaptation, and the dial paper is newly printed and mounted behind glass.  The two pendulum balls appear to be of Crane manufacture.  For a complete discussion of Aaron Crane and his clocks, see 1987 Bulletin supplement by Frederick Shelley.  Clock seems to run.  An original would be several thousand dollars.  Ht 30"  [76cm]   $300--$400

128.   C.1900, French, 8-day time & strike barometer +thermometer wall clock in walnut.  Condition:   Walnut case is in generally good condition with a little damage to the corner of the top left molding.  Wooden dial has a shrinkage crack, vertical and had been glued.  A couple of the porcelain numbers have hairline cracks.  Hands are original.  Thermometer has some wear to the numbers and small hairline crack at the bottom mounting screw.  Barometer has some damage on the bottom of the bezel caused by stress cracking of the brass and may not be original to this case.  Ht 34"  [86.3 cm]  $250--$350

129.   C.1880, Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Conn., "Cottage "C"",  30-hour time/alarm cottage timepiece.  Condition:   Rosewood veneered case in good condition with an original finish with some veneer loss on top and back edge of the base.  Original painted dial has general paint loss and is in need of restoration.  Hands are not original & mis-matched.  Mirror in the door is original.  Refer to Tran Duy Ly’s book titled Seth Thomas Clock & Watches 3rd edition volume 1, pages 213-23 for full discourse on ST cottage models.   Ht 9.25"  [23.4 cm]  $100--$150

132.   C.1990, Chinese, 2-fusee Bracket clock,  with crown /verge and center sweep seconds hand.   Condition:   As new.  A prominent dealer in Chinese ware from Southern Ohio imported these clocks by the thousands.  They are attractive and well made, just not old  {although the first ones imported in the 1970s were antiques}.  The rosewood case is well finished and with a carved stand.  Front and rear glass slide upward for access to movement.  Porcelain dial is xlnt.  This clock was consigned by an old timer from Arizona who thought he owned an antique clock.  Ht 16.2"  [41cm]   $300--$500

133.   C.1880, New Haven Clock Co., "Drop Octagon No. 2", 8-day time/strike wall clock. Condition:  Refinished mahogany and rosewood veneered case in nice condition with a couple of small chips on the bottom edge.  Original painted dial has paint loss around the winding arbors and some touchup at the mounting screws.  The hour hand is an old replacement; doesn’t quite match.  Tablet is original.  The case must have been loose and someone in an attempt to re-glue it misaligned one the octagon sections on the left side.  The movement is an unsigned New Haven, which is why we attribute it to that firm as there is no label in the case.  Ht  24"  [60.9 cm]  $175--$275

134.   C.1930, Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Conn, "Banjo No. 4". 8-day banjo timepiece, spring driven.   Condition:  Mahogany case in extra nice condition with an original finish.  Tablets, hands, eagle finial and pendulum are original.  Original silvered dial is very clean except for scratches around the winding arbor.  Remains of a label on the back, plus original factory price tag {$30.00}.  About as GOOD as it gets for a spring banjo. Ht 30"  [76.8 cm]  $250--$350

135.   C.1925, Cincinnati Time Recorder, Cincinnati, Ohio, oak cased card punch clock with original door key.   Condition:  the case has been nicely refinished.  The drive shaft for the punch mechanism has been disconnected to help the clock keep better time {was running}, and the shaft is inside the case in a plastic bag.  The pendulum stick has been replaced {German hardware could be replaced with ST items available from Timesavers}, and the brass cover for the pendulum bob is now gone, bare metal showing.  The original dial is excellent, and factory advice cards are still inside case.  Includes a couple dozen original Cinci Time Cards.  Clock seems to run, and recording mechanism appears complete.  Weight 51 pounds, not easy to ship.  Ht 30"  [76cm]  $250--$350

137.   C.1880 /Conversion/ French 8-Day timepiece movement, now in nicely made inverted Y frame skeleton plates, C.1950.  The workman lengthened the running period of the clock to around 3 weeks by milling off the original gear on the going barrel, and soldering on his gear, nearly 3 times the circumference of the original.  The workmanship is pretty good, however he spoked the great wheel with a jeweler saw and his work is evident.  The movement has gone some time without a dome and is dark; silvered chapter ring is also oxidized.  Old pendulum is ground off on the bottom to give it enough length for time keeping.  This is a small clock that will clean up nicely and you can probably buy a dome from Ben Bowen.  Ht of clock frame = 7.9"  [20cm]  add another 2" [5cm] for base.  Needs dome around 7.8" wide by 9.5" tall.   $300--$400

138.   C.1986, [dated case] German, Regula,  30-hour time/strike/music cuckoo clock.  Condition:   Colorful painted chalet style cuckoo clock in very good condition.  Cuckoo sounds on the hour, followed by the music box with the Alpine dancers rotating while the trumpeter raises his horn, snow capped peaks in the background.  Note a previous owner has coated the rear plate of the movement with Vaseline, and it needs removing with solvent and the movement oiled; despite this, it is running, cucking and dancing robustly.  Ht 10.25"  [26cm]  $100--$150

139.   C.1990, German,  30-hour time/strike/music cuckoo clock, animated.  Condition:   Colorful painted chalet style cuckoo in very nice condition.  Cuckoo sounds on the hour, followed by the music box with the painted wooden musicians moving back and forth with their instruments.  Ht of chalet only = 10.5"  [26.6cm]  $100--$150
