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

The movement is original, but has been re-positioned slightly, resulting in one set of empty holes. The oil on canvas painting is of large stone monastery in the Alps, on a lake with some boats. The small silvered clock dial in one of the large towers of the building.  Frame has been re-gilded.  A very special picture clock.  Ht 36"  [91.5cm] by width, 42"  [107cm]  $3500--$4500

Howard & Co., Boston, "Regulator No. 8", figure 8, in walnut, weight driven wall clock.   Condition:   this clock has had restorations:  the dial pan and paint are new {approx 1970} and flaking.  Slender iron weight is old, but from another make clock.  Bottom tablet re-backed with black, and now held in with putty.   The signed movement is original to the case, and with original pendulum {rings still on pendulum, however brushed pattern polished off}.

380.   C.1930, E. Howard & Co., Boston, Model 95,  weight driven banjo, cross banded case, original naval tablets.   Condition:  Overall excellent original condition.  Weight was removed after foto; you will need to remove baffles to re-install.  Interestingly the throat and door have curved surface, with double cross banding on all front surfaces, their most expensive option.  In this model, the Howard company was trying to compete with the popular Waltham banjos that had really taken over the decorator market by this time.  They added maintaining power and a Geneva stop to their movement, also to compete with the Waltham offering.  Ht 40"  [101cm]  $2,500--$3,500

Minute hand is loose on shaft.  Ht 37.5"  [95cm]   $3,000--$4,000

Mirrors are period and maybe original, although one usually finds these cases with black glasses.  Weight is cast iron, which is typical for this period. The J-hook latch to secure the door is the design typically used by Tifft.  Included is a letter from Shorty LaRose to Mr. Cohen, regarding the side-arms and telling him he felt the clock was by Horace Tifft, however we see no firm evidence.  Ht 33.5"  [85 cm]  $800--$1,000

396.   C.1875, French, Vincenti & Cie, bronze and marble figural clock, with tiny 8-day gong strike movement .  Condition:   The bronze has fine detail, and the marble has no breaks nor losses.   The minute hand was lost and someone made a new one to match the hour and while not perfect, they came close.  Small 2" size movement with a good lever escapement striking on a small wire gong will need a cleaning.  Miniatures of this type are hard to find.  Ht 10.25"  [26 cm]  $2000--$2500

442.   C.1897 German, Gustav Becker, #1,286,547, 8-day time/strike rococo gilt brass and onyx case mantel clock.  Condition:  High style case in very nice condition with a veined onyx base.  Original porcelain dial is perfect; hour hand is original, gilt minute hand from another old clock.  Original round plate movement is a copy of the French style of the period, but with Becker award medallions of course..  Becker clocks of this type are very uncommon.  Ht 20.25"  [51.4 cm]  $750--$950

443.   C.1880 French, Japy Freres, 8-day time/strike "Three Cherubs" mantel clock retailed by Tiffany & Co., New York, the movement contained within a star studded globe.  Condition:  White alabaster base has a couple of tiny chips on the top edge.  Original ormolu mountings and putti retain some of their original gilding.   Cast brass Globe with a screw on back has some loss and wear to the clear finish over the original color.  Three of the applied cast stars have been replaced with plastic versions, but these are confined to the back.   Case contains a round plate movement with platform lever escapement.  The original platform escapement was probably damaged and was replaced with a period platform from a carriage clock. {neatly done}.  Tiffany name on globe shows some wear but is fully legible.   Ht 18.25"  [46.3 cm]  $3000--$4000

444.   C.1890, French, Bronzed Spelter Swinging Mystery Timepiece,  uncommon figure of ARION with harp {par Louis Moreau}, with 35.5" arm [90cm], and 6" [15cm] ball.   Condition:  it does run, but struggles because the owners repairman did know about the "X" suspension needed after it was lost by the maid.  He attached a long pivot and 2 notched holders on the original suspension arm, and it simply rocks back and forth in this saddle.  Replacement "X" suspensions are available from Timesavers.  Three turned feet have been added to the base and can be easily removed, if desired. Small dent in globe. The clock arm and statue are otherwise in very good original condition.  Ht 51.6"  [130cm]  $3000--$4000

445.   C.1900, French, 2nd-issue, Great Wheel skeleton timepiece, miniature, silk thread suspension, simple silvered chapter ring, engraved with Arabic numerals and original dome.  Condition:   the silvered brass dial has been bent and straightened a couple of times, movement has not been serviced in some time and oil is congealing.  The pendulum is home-made, a brass ball at the end of a threaded wire; works OK.  Note the originals of these had 3 wheels in the train, while this uses 4 wheels.  8-day.  Ht of frame = 7.7"  [19.5cm]   overall with dome = 9.7" [25cm]  $900--$1200

446.   C.1830, Austrian, Musical Grand Sonnerie mantel clock, classic Continental style with silvered brass columns, the clock surmounted by 3 ormolu statues, 1-day winding, and playing one of two tunes after completing the hour strike.  Condition:  this clock has been professionally restored.  The only fault we could find is that the spade hands are not as early as the clock.  The original and early music box with 82 teeth is in good condition, playing nicely.  It is key wound from the right side of the rosewood base.  This clock was restored by D+S Antiques, Dorotheergasse 13, in Vienna in 2002.   For reference, see Kaltenböck's Viennese Timepieces, pages 151—158 for similar clocks.  Ht 19"  [48cm]   $1750--$2250

447.   C.1952 {dated} Elmer O. Stennes, Weight banjo, gold front presentation, eight day duration.   Condition:   this is a one owner clock consigned by an old timer from Monson, Mass, and is the earliest dated Stennes that we have sold, the case bearing the numbers 6  - 52, and using one of Elmers first run of movements [serial #22 on the signed movement].  Lead weight is also signed.  Retains original Washington / Mt. Vernon tablets.  Some of the gold leaf has failed on the balls on the bracket, but overall we would consider this in excellent original condition.  Ht 42"  [107cm]   $2500--$3500

447A.   C.1932, Waltham Clock Co., Willard model spring banjo, with quality lever movement, 8-day, in a "Deco-green" painted case with gilt bracket.   Condition:  another clock from Monson, Mass, this clock has hung idle for some time, and the movement needs cleaning; ticks and stops.  However it is in excellent as found condition, with a great original dial, hands, eagle & marine tablets.  Ht 41"  [103cm]   $700--$900

448.   C.1924, Herschede Hall Clock Co., Cincinnati, Ohio, Pattern 222, Georgian, 13 tube, quarter chiming tall clock, in mahogany, single tune, 3-weight.   Condition:  the clock has been idle for a while and will need service.  There is minor oxidation around the edge of the dial plate; there is some light rust on the chime arms and leaf springs, and some arbors; movement dusty and dirty.  The rolling moon is flaking and will need re-finishing.  The case is in nice condition with original finish intact.  Has beveled glass to the sides and over the dial, lower front glass is flat with mahogany side trim.  Retains original & rare 13 tube movement, with Herschede crown trademark on the rear of the movement, serial 18000C, playing only a single tune which we can not identify.  Having never seen one, we are unable to vouch for the originality of the tubes, 5 of which are large and heavy & nickel plated, and the 8 remaining with natural brass finish and the smaller diameter; we do know these tubes have been with the clock a long while.  The pin drum and 12 hammers are straight, and the tubes hang in two rows, staggered, half on studs at the rear of the heavy iron support, and other half on the front.   At 96.5", you will need just over 8 feet to accommodate this clock.  $6000--$8000

449.   C.1840, English, Woolrich, W. Hampton, 8-day brass dial tavern clock, 2-weight in a wall case with crotch mahogany veneers.   Condition:  Very good original condition; the only item really keeping this from being excellent is that the dial has worn to brass from use and polishing and needs to be silvered.  The case is probably from the midlands with a bit of 'wide' look to the trunk, but still attractive.  The dial deeply engraved with the maker as shown above, and the hands are original.  Robust and well made rack strike movement has been serviced and is in running order. Ht 59"  [150cm]   $2,000--$2,500

450.   C.1920, Colonial Mfg. Co., Zeeland, Mi, Model 1319, Hall Clock, triple chime on 9 tubes, 3-weight, with moon phase.   Condition:  Overall very good condition, the case nicely refinished, and the dial with gilt mask and gilt raised bronze numerals, gilding still bright.  The well made movement with a Herschede crown, and then stamped under that mark Colonial Mfg. Co.  Selection on the dial is for Whittington chime on 8 bells,  Canterbury Chime on 6 bells, or Westminster chime on 4 tubular bells, with the hour strike on a 9th deep toned tube.  The mahogany case is very similar to the following model {lot 451}, except that it has fluted columns and a different finial.  Keylock front door with original key.  Lower door glass is beveled; balance flat glass.  Has fancier pendulum with lyre trim.  Ht 96"  [244cm]   $5,000--$6,000

451.   C.1920, Colonial Mfg. Co., Zeeland, Mich, Model 1317, Hall Clock, dual chime on 7 tubes, 3-weight with moon phase.   Condition:   the heavy and well made mahogany case has been nicely refinished at some time.  The large [13 x 19"]engraved dial with raised bronze numerals is in pretty good condition; the painted moon dial with wear and losses; note small subsidiary dials for chime/silent and Canterbury/Westminster chime.  The original pendulum bob has some creases from being dropped and straightened, and the weights with some dings also.  The well made movement with Graham dead beat escapement and maintaining power, chiming on 6 tubes for Canterbury and 4 tubes for Westminster, and striking the hours on a 7th.  There is a heavy pane of beveled glass in the lower section of the front door; balance of glass is flat.  Although ticking and chiming, movement will need some cleaning and adjusting.  Ht 95" [243cm]  $3,750--$4,750

452.   C.1750, Austrian, J. F. Schmidt, 3-Fusee Bracket clock, two day duration, crown verge, striking the quarters on 3 bells and the hour on a single bell.   Condition:   there is considerable wear to the gilt wood elements of the case, rear door now brushed with gold paint, front door with glue repair.  Note the 4 gilt barley twist columns, set at 45 degrees on each corner.  The heavy and robust movement has cable on the strike fusees, and chain for the time fusee {proper, as the time fusee has flat bottomed channels}.  The "at rest" hook for the pendulum is absent.  The rear plate bears the engraved name of the maker:  Johannes Friderich Schmidt, Kuttenberg.  The brass dial has cast and gilt royal crown spandrels, each with a bust, and the arch filled with a large and elaborate crown.  There is also a mock pendulum aperture with a star shaped indicator.  Hour hand with later end.  Our guess is that one of the bells has been replaced, since the 3 bells offer only 2 different pitches, and you have to listen carefully to "count" the quarters.  Front door latch pieces are there, but need repair.  Ht 13.5" [34cm]   $1,400--$1,800

453.   C.1800, American Tall Case Mixed Lot.  The Pennsylvania {Allentown} case originally had a different movement, now with a robust C.1840 American brass 8-day smooth barrel movement and later Waterbury hands.  The period wooden dial is from a 30-hour wood movement, & has been nicely repainted.  Outboard chimneys for hood are absent; pineapple finial not original.  There are some nicks in the case, piece of right arch is missing.  Base molding is incorrect.  The back plate of the movement has 4 holes as evidence it was mounted via blocks in a different case.  Still it runs and is a lot of "Look" for the money.  With ram's horn style scrolls.  Soft wood case has an old red paint finish. Runs.  Ht 92"  [234cm]   $1,000--$1,500

454.   C.1905, Colonial Mfg Co., Zeeland, MI, GOTHIC HALL CLOCK, 3-weight, 9-tubular bell, Whittington & Westminster chimes, in mahogany.   Condition:  this clock came out of a home in Fairfield, Conn, and has been standing idle for some time; silk curtains are shredding.  However it does still tick and chime.  Has a heavy and high quality German movement marked HWN  "Hausuhrenfabrik Winterhalder, Neustadt", on the dial.  This sunstantial case predates Colonial bankruptcy in 1906, and the heavy case is typical of those that were being made for Frank Herschede and others at the time, including locking access doors, and heavy front door with lock and cantilever hinges.  The rolling moon is in nice condition, the gilt portions of the dial have gone dark and the silvering also has oxidation.  Levers at 9 & 3 are for chime/no chime and strike/no strike; open right door and a lever gives you choice of quarter chime tune.  All tubes, weights, crank, pendulum are original; pendulum fell once and has a small dent near the top.  The particular Gothic case has more detail and more eye appeal than most later models pictured in various catalogs.  Ht 96" [244cm]  $8,000--$10,000

455.   C.1810, 8-day American Tall Case, a formal pine case from a wooden works clock with a label of Sperry & Co., Waterbury, now with a New Hampshire 8-day brass movement from the same time period.   Condition:   this is another of the clocks that we picked up in Weston, Mass, restored by the Polaroid researcher.  He made 2 interesting pulleys for this movement, and fitted a later pair of hands.  The well made movement has large cut outs in the bottom as you would expect from NH, and also very unusual bulbous pillars.  This clock was running in the master bedroom when we acquired it.  The case is white pine with a mellow caramel finish, and with a small pearl decoration in the center of the door; feet and scrolls are original, old finials from another clock.  Has a good Wilson dial that could use a cleaning, but is still quite good for its age; floral decorations in the corners and arch are still nice.  Label is about half there; you can read much of the text.  Ht 83.5"  [212cm]  $3,000--$5,000

456.   C.1820, Silas Hoadley, 8-Day, Pull wind, 2-weight tall case clock as-found.   Condition:  this clock has been in storage in Virginia for some time.  The movement was apart when we found it and we put the basic parts back together, however, the fan needs fitting and 2 gears are missing.  {Movement will need a trip to Dr. Bruno's for 2 gears and repair to back plate}.  Country pine case has a natural oil finish; hood was made to have a glass slide over the dial, and that slot is now filled on the top {can be restored}.  The hour hand is old, the minute hand is modern, of proper type.  The painted wooden dial is in relatively good condition; the chapter ring has been re-lined, and at some time the dial was attached to a brass works, and was drilled for winding, and now those holes are nicely filled and painted with false arbors.  8-day wooden tall clocks are relatively hard to find, and in spite of the dial being unsigned, the unique Hoadley movement is readily identifiable.  You can find a research foto of this movement in Palmers A Treasury of American Clocks, [1967], page 22.  No Pendulum; no weights; no bell  {All available from Geo. Bruno}.  Ht 82"  [208cm]  $1,000--$1,500

457.   C.1825, Western Pennsylvania Tall Case, with an 8-day painted dial, English movement, signed G. Savage, Huddersfield.   Condition:  the heavy and well made case is in need of some serious veneer attention, along the chamfered corners of the case and at the throat section of the hood.  There are other chips in the solid moldings, especially along the edge of the door.  George Savage began his clockmaking career in Huddersfield, England, and was the patentee on a remontoire design, and did much to perfect the lever escapement, besides inventing the 2-pin pallet variety.  In his old age he emigrated to Montreal, Canada, and founded a flourishing retail business. {this info from Britten's, 9th edition}.   Two weights do not match; old pendulum bob needs a rod, second hand lacking.  Ht 93"  [236cm]   $1,500--$2,000

458.   C.1810, English, 8-Day, Brass Dial tall clock, with restorations.   Condition:   the brass dial is not original to the movement, winding holes enlarged, and with a cartouche now indicating the maker as:  Eliazer Warren, Dublin.  Mahogany case has been refinished, has bracket feet, original trim above cornice is lacking, seat board reinforced with plywood.  This clock belonged to a former Polaroid research scientist who tinkered with clocks, and I have to say that despite some shortcomings, it is running and striking.  Has a great high dome pendulum and good cast iron weights. Ht 82 [208cm]  $900--$1,200

459.   C.1920, German, Dark Oak Tall Clock, 2-weight, 8-day with ting-tang strike on rods.   Condition:  the movement is relatively clean and is running and striking.  One steel rod is missing from the gong set, but is not noticeable {replacements are available from Timesavers}.  The shaped glass in the door has a heavy beveled edge; top glass is convex.  Has matching embossed roses on the dial center, weights and pendulum.  Pull weights up weekly to wind.   Ht 76.2  [195cm]   $500--$800

460.   C.1910, American, Self Winding Tall case with solenoid chiming mechanism {less tubes}.   Condition:  the self wound movement is of Seth Thomas design, with an ST iron movement holder that is in turn mounted to a strap iron superstructure.  All of the work is good quality, and we suspect the clock was a special order, perhaps for a mortuary or similar reception area where chimes were required with no attention from the owner.  The dial itself is marked "Made in Germany" and was probably bought to fit the case and adapted to the movement; it was never on another clock, nor drilled for winding.  The case is virtually all of solid oak and is extremely heavy.  Glass on sides and lower door are all heavy beveled plate.  The unusual pendulum consists of 4 smaller sealed steel vials containing mercury, the rating nut in the center, rather than top or bottom.  Note there are NO tubes, and no plungers for the chime solenoid.  Movement ticks with finger pressure on train, but we could not get the solenoid to click over and wind the spring.  Our estimate is based on the value of the case, which is large enough to accommodate the largest chime movement of the day. Ht  93" [236cm]   $800--$1,200

461.   C.1890, American Jeweler's Regulator, unsigned, 8-day, center sweep seconds, grid iron pendulum, in an oak floor case.   Condition:  the dark oak case has been refinished; has glass on sides and front.  This case was made in a cabinet shop rather than a clock factory, and we have not seen this specific design before.  The well made Swiss pinwheel movement has been cleaned and with new cord.  The porcelain dial is perfect.  The iron weight does not have a brass sheath, but seems to work fine.  The movement and pendulum alone should be worth $2000.  Ht 89"  [226cm]   $2000--$3000

462.   C.1890, Scottish, CASE ONLY, for 13" square dial, mahogany with reeded corners & lamb's tongues, made for a century earlier movement that was later re-united with its case.  Condition:  Virtually like new, with great original finish, nicely polished, lovely OG bracket feet, Queen Anne style hood, and stately long door.  Ready for your movement.  Our estimate is based on what it would cost you to make a new case.  Ht 87"  [221cm]   $1500--$2000

462A.   Movement ONLY, C.1780-1800, English, Ian Ronning, Newmarket, Brass Dial, 8-day tall clock movement with mat center, aperture above 6 for rolling calendar, and seconds hand.  Condition:  the movement appears complete and sound, ticks with pressure on train, and strikes similarly, however has been bushed by a novice and needs professional attention.  Comes with 2 pulleys, but no weights nor pendulum.  Dial measures 12" x 16.5"   $800--$1200

463.   C.1903, Gustav Becker, 400-day torsion pendulum timepiece in a nice mahogany case with Becker disc pendulum.  Condition:   Mahogany case in good condition with an original finish, but with damage to rear corner edge of the top molding.  Rest of the case is nice with minor  scuff marks.  Brass movement is quite clean with a little tarnish on the support columns.  Original porcelain dial is perfect and the hands are original.  Beveled glass panels are perfect.  Movement is marked with Becker award medallions, serial # 1801396, see plate 1195A in Terwilliger's repair guide.  Also see appendix, item 70 for serial # chart.  Suspension spring currently too short. Ht 12"  [30.4 cm]  $500--$750

464.   C.1906, German, Philip Haas, Plate 1043, 400-day torsion pendulum timepiece in a brass & glass crystal regulator case with original disc pendulum.  Condition:   Case in good condition, but in need of polishing.  One beveled glass side panel has a tiny chip on one corner.  The rest of the panels are fine.  Original porcelain dial marked "Urania" is perfect and the hands are original.  Movement with serial #10672, and with DRP patent numbers.  Ht 11"  [27.9 cm]  $500--$600

465.   C.1904, Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Conn., "Empire No. 14",  8-day time & gong strike crystal regulator, mantel clock.   Condition:   Heavy white metal case in nice condition with remains of original gilding intact.  Original porcelain dial retailed by Bunde & Upmeyer Co, Milwaukee, is perfect and the hands are original.   Pendulum is original.  All the beveled glass panels are perfect except for the rear door that now has a piece of flat glass that is cracked.  Movement is marked with ST insignia.  The hunting scene on top has lots of detail and amazingly none of the dog's legs nor deer's legs, nor antlers have been broken, a big plus for this model.  For detail, see Tran Ly's book on Seth Thomas, 3rd Edition, Vol 1, page 242, fig 736.  Current price guide = $1000.  Ht 16"  [40.6 cm]  $700--$900

Still, this is the way most serious collectors would like to find a rare clock, and this one is sure to command their attention.  For reference see Sothebys Meraux sale, June 29, 1993, lot 81, where the cousin to this clock sold for $12,075; also see Derek Roberts' book, titled: Mystery, Novelty & Fantasy Clocks , page 93, figure 8-19   Ht 18.1" [46cm]  $14,000--$18,000

475A.   C.1830, English, Jas. Pyott, Leith, Single Fusee bracket clock, in a nice crotch mahogany & veneers case, in the Regency style, with turned brass columns to the side of the dial.   Condition:  the case for the most part retains its original finish in good order; the rear access door has been professionally replaced and looks fine.  The well made fusee movement, now with cable, and with shaped rear plates and heavy baluster pillars.  The painted dial has some touch up near 7 where a paint came off at a dial foot location, and some small chips below 6.  The dial signature is original.  A nice period clock with classic good lines.  Ht 18.5"  [47cm]  $1200--$1600

491.   C.1890, French, Swinging Doll, 8-day time & bell strike mantel clock.  Condition:   Cast white metal case is in nice condition, although the original gilt finish is now gold painted.  Original porcelain dial is perfect and the hands are original.  The movement is a typical double escape wheel with chaff cutter escapement.  The rear movement plate bears the serial no. 55578 and the words "chappement brevette" {escapement patented}.  Original doll is intact.  Ht 12"  [30.4 cm]  $800--$1,200

495.   C.1855, Silas B. Terry, Terryville, Conn.,  30-hour cottage timepiece with a ladder type movement with the spring outside the back plate.  Condition:   Simple stained red popular case in very nice condition with an original finish.  Original painted dial has some paint loss at the mounting pins. Brass hands and frosted tablet {Wm. B. Fenn} are original. Nice colorful label inside case.  Details of this movement and a similar case can be seen in Palmer's Treasury of American Clocks, page 155.  Ht 10.25"  [26 cm]  $300--$400

496.   C.1855, Silas B. Terry, Terryville, Conn.,  30-hour cottage timepiece with a ladder type movement with the spring outside the back plate.  Condition:   Simple pine case is in nice condition with some wear and loss to the applied paper "snake skin" decoration.  Original painted dial has some paint loss and minor wear at the winding arbor and around the mounting screws.  Frosted tablet {Wm. B. Fenn} and brass hands are original.  Nice colorful label inside case.  Details of this movement can be seen in Palmer's Treasury of American Clocks, page 155.   Ht 10.25"  [26 cm]  $900--$1,000

497.   C.1860, Scottish, Single Fusee Balloon timepiece, large with a painted regulator dial with separate seconds, minutes and hours, and with the inscription "The Ivory, Dundee".  A family of clock makers named Ivory worked in Dundee from 1730 onwards.  Condition:  the mahogany case has been refinished.  The dial has been touched up a bit at the dial feet where the base paint chipped away.  The well made fusee movement, now with a brass cable, has also maintaining power, Graham design dead beat escapement {with a repair to one pallet}, and end stops for all of the arbors, including the verge arbor.  Plates to movement measure 4.3" x 9".  It is very uncommon to find a balloon clock of this size.  Ht 24.5"  [62cm]   $5000--$6000

498.   C.1833, Joshua Seward, Boston, Mass.,  8-day Lyre or Elegant Harp Pattern wall timepiece, weight driven.  Condition:   Refinished carved mahogany case in extremely nice condition.  Painted tablet is on old glass, but is recently painted by a skilled artist.  Metal show at top of harp is recent.  The bottom of the bracket has been repaired to fix a break just above the bottom drop finial.  Dial with strengthened numbers has the faint remains of the name Seward and in our opinion, is original to the case.  The notches in the dial line up with existing holes for L-turn pins.  Someone at a later date has drilled holes for screws to mount the dial.  The period movement is secured to the one-piece mahogany backboard held by taper pins through posts screwed into the back board.  Seward was an apprentice to John Sawin of Boston who used the same method to secure his movements into his cases.  Nice set of period hands.  The plinth on top of the case is missing.  The carved top is old and proper.  From an old time collector and unseen for decades.  Ht 38.25"  [97.1 cm]  $7,000--$9,000

499.   C.1920, Massachusetts Girandole, made with an aged look to appear as a C.1815 Lemuel Curtis.   Condition: remarkably excellent original condition, with nice tablets, gilding, hands and dial.  This clock has excellent provenance.  It was originally purchased by Marcus Coolidge, US Senator from Massachusetts {copy of payment receipt dated Sept 1, 1932}, was inherited by his daughter, Helen Coolidge Woodring {her husband Harry, was US Sec'y of War 1936-40}, and subsequently inherited by her son, Cooper Coolidge Woodring.  Cooper had the clock appraised by Hergonson and Werner of New York in 1977, who wrote it up as an original Curtis.  24 years later, he consigned it to Phillips Auction {St. Louis, 2001}, who gave it a 3 page color spread [pages 25-27], and an estimate of $50,000—$60,000.  The clock was sold for a substantial sum, then was returned to Phillips because it did not have a C.1815 movement.  Phillips honorably refunded the monies and returned the clock to Cooper Woodring.  Bob Cheney of Mass, later helped him negotiate a private sale of the clock (properly represented as a 20th century item), and now, after 4 years, it is consigned here.  With the clock are included; 1>copy of signed and dated Hergonson appraisal to Woodrings for $30,000, 2> Life history of Harry Woodring 3> Phillips text proof pages for their catalog, 4> the actual Phillips catalog from May 5-6, 2001, documenting the clocks ownership since the 1930's. 5> Copy of handwritten receipt by L. J. Wyman, prop of the "Littlest Clock and Watch Shop", covering the girandole and 4 other clocks he sold to Senator Coolidge in 1932, and 6> Copy of April 2001 Nawcc Mart, wherein the clock is pictured on page 19.  The top eagle has a repaired wing, and dowel needs re-newing; otherwise no deficiencies.  We feel the clock may be the work of James E. Conlon {1880-1948}, who produced museum quality copies of several early American clocks.  The movement is original to the case, well made with cut pinions, attaching to the case from the rear with a center screw, and with a period weight and pendulum.  Some age cracks in case.  Ht 44"  $9,000--$12,000

500.   C.1890, English, 2-Chain-Fusee Skeleton Clock, striking the hours on a large coiled wire gong and the halves on a bell at top, and with fine 5-spoke wheels throughout, in a glazed case of mahogany and beveled glass.   Condition:  one side pane of glass is cracked, rest is fine.  The movement is complete and sound and of very high quality.  There are many similarities to the work of Smith & Sons {dial,, skeletonized snail, and "trigger" style strike actuation}, however we have not seen this frame in Smith literature.  The only minus we see is that the hands were replaced by some large Aluminum jobs, painted black….they really look OK, but a purist will want to find something better.  Couple of small screws need replacing.  Ht of clock only = 18.5"  ht of case = 22.5"  [57cm]  $5000--$7000

501.   C.1855, French, Time & Calendar Skeleton clock, under glass dome.   Condition:  Dome and base are new replacements, pendulum is replaced and a new crutch wire has been fashioned.  The time dial has a small chip filled in under 12; calendar & alarm dials are perfect.  Appears to be in good running order and the calendar is tripping over OK.  Total ht 9"  [23cm]  $1800--$2200

502.   C.1924, Waltham Watch & Clock Co., {on mov't}, Presentation banjo with gilt brass rope on door and throat, weight driven, 8-day, serial #8474.   Condition:  very good original condition, another clock from Munson, Mass that had hung in one place for many years when we took it off the wall.  Retains original eagle, dial {with some perimeter flakes}, hands, pendulum and weight.  Note the Watch & Clock divisions were only together during years 1923-25, and this trademark was unique in that time period.   Ht 41"  [102cm]   $1750--$2250

503.   C.1900, German,  30-hour Cuckoo and Quail wall clock, with 3 weights, all carvings of oak.  Condition:  Nicely carved maple leaf design case in pretty good condition with some minor damage to one of the bottom leaves.  Original top crest has some damage to a couple of the top leaves, a small area below the center leaf and a couple of breaks have been repaired; note top is held on by a single screw, and needs proper wire attachments. Three-train movement will need cleaning as it is oily; it is complete and sound.  The bellows have been replaced with modern versions.  Original paint has deteriorated on Cuckoo & Quail, and both birds have damaged beaks.  Original carved bone hands are nice.  Pendulum is original.   Ht 24"  [60.9 cm]  $275--$375

503A.   C.1690, Paris, Baltazar Martinot, nice early movement and dial, now in a later oak carcass case with ebonized veneer, and with a key lock front door.  Condition:  The silk thread movement is ticking and striking; and is in remarkable condition for its age; see makers name clearly engraved into the lower section of the rear plate.  The case origin and age are unknown, certainly severe in style as you might find in such an early piece, but with few indications of age.  Martinot was one of the first French makers to apply the inventions of Christian Huygens.  We based our estimate on the value of the movement & dial.  Ht 20" [51cm]  $1500--$2000

503B.   C.1850, English, Geo. Clarke, London, miniature, short pendulum lantern clock for the Turkish market.   Condition:  overall good original condition, however these mid-Victorian models were not made to the same high standards as two century earlier examples.  The name on the dial refers to the original maker of Lanterns in 1630, not this clock itself.   With a modern wooden shelf/bracket.  Ticks and strikes.  Ht of clock  8"  [20cm]  $400--$600

503C.   Late 18th century, English, Small Crown Verge, 2-fusee, Quarter Striking bracket clock, with a later C.1900 brass dial with block letters stating "RIMBAULT, LONDON", and with animation in the arch.   Condition:  the rear wind fusee movement has been cleaned and seems to be in good working order.  It appears that a deft mechanic made a new brass dial {never silvered} to replace the old one, although it is unclear if the two men fencing in the arch are original or not.  In any case they each swipe their sword at the other for each stroke of the quarter hour, and on the hour only the right swordsman raises his arm.  Also has center seconds.  The case with restorations, and lacking top finials.  Our estimate would be much higher if the dial were original.  Ht 11"  [28cm]   $1500--$2000

503D.   C.1900, German, Junghans, Uncommon  swinging arm clock, boy with hand in his pocket, other arm supporting the clock.   Condition:  the spelter statue has had much of its brass finish worn away, but is still original, with no evidence of breaks or repairs.   The clock arm is in good order, except that someone has added some simple steel washers to the lead counter weight at the bottom.  We are unsure if their goal, since swingers react OPPOSITE to a regular pendulum, in that lowering the ball or more weight in the bottom will actually speed the clock up. It is close to keeping good time, if you are patient and apply the proper principle.  The porcelain dial with a repair near 6 o'clock.  Ht overall 19.2"  [49cm]  $500--$800

503E.   C.1895, German, Junghans, Grand Sonnerie, 3-Wt  wall clock, in a walnut case, with carved Corinthian half columns to the side, in the Alt Deutsch style.   Condition:  although this movement has been in the case for many years, it is not original to the case.  The movement has been serviced & re-strung relatively recently and is running and striking the full quarters.  The porcelain dial is without blemish; hands are old.  At an earlier time, there was a curved integral top glued onto the case, but it has been gone for many years.  Retains original matched set of pulleys, decent weights and a good pendulum w/ minor dents; perfect beat scale.  Movement with Junghans imprint. Ht 42"  [106cm]  $1000--$1500

503F.   C.1891 [dated on dial], Prucure Générale, Grand Sonnerie, 3-train Morbier, with 5 bells {ting tang quarters and hours, large bell for top of the hour}.   Condition:   Somehow this clock got separated from its weights, however replacements are available from Timesavers or Merritts {be sure to look for 3 slender 12 pounders, as this model requires extra weight}.  The dial is signed as in the headline.  Movement has been cleaned and re-strung.  We checked with a long time resident of Paris who tells us this clock was surely in the office of the superior court appellate judge in Paris, and the name on the dial was its place of use, and not the maker.  This is a very rare movement.  Ht 55"  [140cm]  $1500--$2000

503G.   C.1820, French, Extra Large Morbier, Francois Moret Bailly, Orcieres, {the retailer} crown wheel & verge escapement, with an external striking bar that transmits the strike motion not only up to the bell on top, but a rod may also be run down{or up} to the next floor.   Condition:  this clock got separated from its weights, and we surmise by the very large wheels {great wheels are 10cm in diameter} that it takes some 12 pounders.  This case is 8" deep [20cm], nearly twice the normal measurement, and the diameter of the dial is nearly a full 12"  [30cm].  Strike side with a large vertical fan-fly approx 5" in diameter.   Ht 58"  [148cm]   $700--$900

504.   C.1860, Ormolu & white marble mantel clock, figures of an infant holding hands with a putti, Cupid, come to  console him, both looking loving and pensive at the same time, the clock with a superior cobalt blue dial with gold stars and white numeral shields with black Roman numerals.  Condition:  this clock has stood for some time without a dome and the marble has dirt and discoloration in the crevices, and the ormolu trim on the base has lost its gilding and been painted gold.  The original fire gilding on the two infants is still excellent.  Bell strike movement with Marti award medallion, and the case with a bronze label impressed with : J.V. & Fils, Paris.  Ht 12.5"  [32cm]   $2000--$3000

505.   C.2000 {modern}, Repro of Austrian DACHLUHR, early Biedermeier style wall clock, miniature with 2.3" porcelain dial, one day duration, weight driven.  Condition:  like new, this nice looking clock has original hand rubbed shiny finish over mahogany veneer case with satin wood banding.  Original steel rod pendulum, spoked pulley, fancy cast bezel, and beat scale intact.  Hard to explain how attractive it is at only 16.5"tall.  $1000--$1500

506.   C.1937, Elijah Bills, Empire Carved column and splat, 30-hour wooden works, 2-weight.   Condition:  the carved mahogany case is in very good, original condition with the exception of 2 long strips of veneer on the door  which have been re-veneered with later mahogany [not too obvious, but the grain is different].  The painted wood dial is original and in good condition.  The hands are period and proper style, the mirror in the door is old, but recent putty indicates a changed mirror.  Nice early gong & base, larger than normal.  Bills shop and the entire town of Colebrook River were destroyed when the Colebrook Dam was built in 1934.  Ht 31.5"  [80cm]   $500--$750

507.   C.1935, German, Karl Griesbaum, Gmbh, WHISTLER, man in bowler hat, spring driven movement with original bellows intact.  Condition:  the brass governor has been replaced with a plastic one, seems to work OK, but hangs up occasionally.  Whistles lively drinking song, and man's head swivels from side to side.  Paint on the rear is chipped around the dust cover from novices prying it off.  Ht 13.1"  [33cm]  $500--$700

508.   C.1935, German, Karl Griesbaum, Gmbh, WHISTLER, bald man with big glasses, with a Hofbrau Haus mug in his right hand.   Condition:  a repairman has for some reason removed the cam follower and arm that rotate the head, a screw fills the vacant hole to it is not so noticeable.  The bellows has been recovered with a black synthetic material.  Whistles loudly, however hangs up before the end of the tune and has to be re-started with coaxing of the governor.  Ht 13.1"  [33cm]  $400--$500

509.   C.1850, English, Mantle Regulator in Regency style, single fusee movement with maintaining power and Graham dead beat escapement.   Condition:  the mahogany veneered case apparently stood in an attic for a time and there are some splits in both the veneer and underlying carcass, and areas where the veneer has been re-glued {none is missing}, and the case has been refinished.  The bonnet over the dial has a large fan inlay; 4-corners around the dial have leaves and in the center below the dial, flowers in an urn.  The large and robust movement is very well made, and the seconds arbor & hand is driven by an auxiliary 'scape pinion with reduction to turn hand once per minute {necessary with a half seconds pendulum}.  The "astro" layout dial is original, but with some scrapes and wear, and has been over-coated with lacquer; in the hour circle is the original inscription  REGULATOR.   Ht 25.5"  [65cm]   $2,000--$2,500

566.   C.1828 Ephraim Downes, Bristol, Conn,  30-hour, 2-wt, time & strike, wood movement, pillar and scroll shelf clock.  Condition:  Mahogany veneered case in generally good condition, but in need of restoration.  Scroll top appears to have been made out of old wood, but is a replacement done maybe 50 years ago, the tips broken and glued a couple of times already.  Dial is original to the case, but is quite dark and needs a trip to the Dial House.  Original bell has been replaced with a wire gong.  Door lock is missing.  Case does retain an original tablet that is restorable.  Hands and pendulum are not original.  Finials are modern.

567.   C.1925, English-?, Weight Banjo in generally good original shape.   Condition:  the background on the "Hull" tablets is flaking and will need attention {you need to act soon}.  We have looked this clock over from stem to stern, and it is simply not of American manufacture.  The case is "thinner" front to back than we expect here, the lead weight is slim front to back, the pulley is English, pendulum is English, the crank is English, and the high quality movement has typical English spoke pattern and high quality, machined hold downs to restrain the movement.  The throat piece is only a quarter inch thick, with the thinnest tablet and the tiniest round strips to hold it in place. Note also uncommon porcelain dial, of European origin.  The brass eagle is the only item we see of US origin.  Perhaps the maker was British, working in the U.S.  Certainly of interest to a banjo collector who wants something "different".  Ht 34"  [87cm]   $900--$1,200
