117-b C.1890, German, Badische Uhrenfabrik, 400 day, disc pendulum. these folks at Badishe turned out a reliable product with a lot of cost cutting measures: cello dial, lantern pinions, stamped brass base & pendulum components. This clock ticks but has not been serviced and will need cleaning; ht 11" $150-200

117-c C.1900, German, Gustav Becker 400 day /disc, low serial, with unique markings. This clock comes from a home in Maine and has never been serviced. Interestingly, both the pendulum and backplate bear the number 102. The 3" porcelain dial bears the G-B Anchor trademark below 12 and along the lower edge = "Becker -- Germany".

118. C.1901, Ansonia "Crest" cast metal figural clock. The case has been spray painted and will need a better finish job. Movement appears clean & running; porcelain dial with minor chip at rh winding hole; I believe there's a second one of these in the sale; ht 12" $250-350

118-a C.1900, French, V. Reclus, Paris [signed movement], serial #880, a once elegant time and alarm carriage clock.

119. C.1835, Wm. Dexter, Stockbridge, NY. An unusual 1/2 column and splat with 3-pane door. The lower fruitbowl tablet has a single crack, but is still very nice.

121. C.1910, Seth Thomas, "Office No. 6" regulator. The poplar case retains original mahogany finish, original dial with some flakes around 4. The only shortcoming is the pendulum bob which was lost and improperly replaced [$12 from Timesavers], with orig label [dark]; ht 36" $275-375

125. C.1875, Austrian, 3-weight, grand sonnerie wall regulator. this clock runs well and it was a debate whether to put it so early in the sale. However the wooden case, which was originally gold leafed [shows at edges], has recently been painted over with thick gloss black oil base paint. Moreover, the good quality Gebruder Resch [Remember] movement is NOT original to the case [extra holes in backboard]. Still, the clock runs & strikes and is decorative; ht 54" $1000-1250

125-a C.1875, Austrian, 3-weight grand sonnerie wall regulator. This is basically a good clock, but has suffered some recent mis-handling: someone forced the quarter strike to turn in the wrong direction and snapped off the tip of the lifting arm. Only a clockmaker familiar with Viennas [or who has a box of spare Vienna parts] should attempt this repair. The corbels have been reinforced with a block of wood each side and the case has been refinished. This clock runs, "hums" the quarters and strikes the hour every 15 min. Xlnt dial; height 51" $800-1200

138. C.1865, Seth Thomas, Regulator No. 2 [early #2 had no second hand] in mahogany. This is not a bad clock but had some unguided restoration over the years: the weight knocked off the bottom and a good cabinet maker made a simple flat piece with molded edge; the weight and baffle were lost, and these items new; ht 31" $500-700

139. C.1870, Ansonia Brass & Copper Co., Empire shelf clock in rosewood. the base has been reveneered and has come loose again; the dial has fresh paper. Case needs tightening. Original tablet is very good. Weights are adequate but not original; ht 33" $275-375
