bright clean bronze dial, and bronze capitals and bases on the four
columns. There are inlay designs around the base, around the top
and even on the flat top, a place I have never seen inlay before. The
dial ring is silver and it has the original hands. The 15 day movement
is not signed but both the movement and elaborate bronze pendulum are marked, “921”, meaning the pendulum is original to the
case. The 15 day movement is typical of most all French movements,
round with outside count wheel, and nickel bell attached to the
movement. It is running now, but may be out of beat after shipping.
If I did not need to pare down my collection this one would stay in
the house a while. $750-$1000.

$600
“E. Howard & Co. / Boston / 8 ¾” signed on the movement of this E.
Howard Mass. Shelf clock. This is not an old clock but a
reproduction. It could be a Howard reissue or a clock
made by an unknown maker. It has the sense of a reissue because of the quality of the work but I was not
aware that Howard produced a Mass. shelf clock, original or reissue. There is a Howard metal label on the
back of the door. The nickel dial plate and dial ring are
high quality, not a home workshop fabrication. The 8
day time only movement is signed and very nice and
high quality. Pendulum ball, wood stick, and metal
hanging parts are the type Howard used. The mahogany case is 32.5 inches high, very clean and well-constructed. The
panel below the glass door is held with metal pins, not hinged, and
serves no purpose other than a place to store the winding key. I
don’t care who made it, it is extremely nice and a clock anyone
would be proud to display in their home. $750-$1000.

$1300
French fire gilt bronze clock made during the French
Empire period around 1815. The large clock features a
French artist with brush in hand. After the French Revolution the people desired clocks depicting the more
common man, not the French Royalty or Greek Gods.
The 24 inch high case is immaculately clean and well
preserved having endured who knows what for 200
years. The only shortcoming I see is the missing glass
over the back opening. The 5 inch square silver dial has
bronze Roman Numerals and bronze hands, different than any we
have seen. The 15 day round, silk thread, French movement is not
signed and has a nickel bell attached to the movement, and strikes
half hours and hours. This rare early piece of art and mechanical
engineering is a clock you will want to keep and can be displayed in
any setting. $1500-$2000.

$1171
“J. Ives Patent / Accelerating Equalizing Lever
Spring / Birge & Fuller, / Bristol, Conn.” copied from
the near complete label in this double steeple shelf
clock, ca 1845. This clock is more commonly called a
“wagon spring” clock. If you were ever a farmer
you know why it is called wagon spring. The 8 day
movement is signed and strikes hours on a coil
gong. The wagon spring movement is complete but
I did not test it for running. To be honest it is far too
complicated for anyone in my pay grade and I am
hesitant to wind it. The 27.5 inch high mahogany
veneered case looks very nice, clean and polished, with minor veneer repairs on the base and a couple of other moldings. The original dial was repainted by the Dial House, hands are replacements,
and the glasses are correct for this clock but may be replacements.
We rarely see these rare clocks anymore. Collectors are hoarding
them I would assume. An identical clock and movement are pictured and discussed in Ly-American Clocks, Volume 3, page 214, and
given a value of $4000. We will be more conservative, $2000-$3000.

$110
“Gilbert Manf’g Co. / Winsted, Conn.”, copied from
the complete paper label inside this Galush Maranville calendar clock, ca 1861. The perpetual calendar
was called a “complex calendar dial” because it had
two moving discs behind the main calendar dial. The
two moving dials had to be adjusted monthly with a
key. I believe this is a very rare model with a Maranville calendar for I cannot find another short drop
case having been sold anywhere. The ones I have
seen sold are the large cases and the short drop cases with a sloping
flat bottom. Note the small glass in the hinged door is the same
glass Gilbert used in some other models. The dial is very nice, signed
by Maranville and has the proper hands. Although a little dark the 22
inch mahogany veneered case is near perfect. It has an eight day
time and strike movement that is performing properly. Inside is a
coil gong attached to a brass base, and a proper pendulum bob. LyCalendar, page 80, pictures this exact case and movement. $600$750.
$1100
French Empire style 4 column portico clock, ca
1850. The 24.5 inch high crotch mahogany case is
near perfect except for chips on the top back corners. I could have had them repaired but you cannot see them from the front. Unless you require
your 165 year old rare clocks to be perfect you will
like this one. This is without a doubt the largest and
finest clock of this type I have ever sold. Over the
case are fire gilt ornaments, all present and in very
fine condition. The movement has no marks except
old repair notes. The dial is signed, “Morel A Paris”.
The porcelain dial ring is surrounded by bronze on
either side. The French round movement is typical, 8 day and striking hours and half hours on a nickel bell. The movement is enclosed
in a tin can with a fitted lid on the back. $1500$2000.

$3200
Waltham Clock Company, Waltham, Mass. pendulum
clock, “No.16”, ca 1905. The company was formed in
1897 and made high grade tall clocks, banjo clocks, and
a few wall regulator clocks. It is hard to distinguish between models 13 thru 17. The pendulums may be different or the height may vary slightly but they all have the
same incised designs on top of the door and the tops
and bases are the same. This mahogany case is about 5
feet 8 inches, or 68 inches. It is heavy, solidly mad, and
has an 8 day weight movement the company made, and
was known for. There is a pulley holding the weight and
another pulley in the top of the case. The excellent
painted dial is signed and the hands are original. The
pendulum has incised designs suggestive of the Seth Thomas pen-

$600
French Empire style, 4 column portico, ca 1880. This
beautiful clock is only 15 inches high, or about half
as high as #3 above. I said #3 may be the finest portico I have ever sold, but #4 tops it. This one is immaculate and near perfect in every way. It has a
2
dulums. The wood stick and beat scale are correct. The heavy door
has a key lock with the original key. These large Waltham weight
regulators are very rarely seen at auction, and when they do sell
they may go from $5000 to $8000. Ly-American Clocks, Volume 1,
page 244. $3500-$4000.
11.
$2800
“Tiffany & Co. New York”, signed on the dial of
this exceptional 19th century marble and
bronze 15 day clock from the Egyptian Revival
period, ca 1880. The clock came from the estate of the late Prussian/German General,
Moritz Ferdinand Freiherr von Bissing. Born
into a wealthy family he enjoyed the good life
of wealth, military and political titles while
adding to the family’s wealth. The clock has no
doubt been in several fine collections since his death in 1917. The last
sale of this clock was for $6750. The marble and bronze clock
weighs 94 pounds. The base weighs 73 pounds and the statue of
Shakespeare alone weighs 21 pounds. That is more than most tall
clocks. The clock is 23 inches high and 22 inches wide. The statue is
signed “T. Hebert”, a famous French sculptor. The case is decorated
with rows of female figures each side of the dial. The statue and
clock top are pegged for fitting, so that guarantees the statue and
base came together. The sash holds a beveled glass, it has correct
French hands and pendulum, good beveled glass on the back, and a
typical round 15 day French movement with nickel bell attached. The
movement is running properly. $3000-$5000.
8.
$810
New Haven Clock Co. “Office No.2”, ca 1886. It is a
weight driven wall regulator with dead beat and maintaining power in an 8 day time only movement. The
Office No.1 models drop down in the center whereas
the Office No.2 weighs drop on the left side. There are
double pulleys on top of the case. Notice the winding
arbor is on the right side. The cord goes thru the top
of the case on the right side then crosses over to the
left side and down thru the side of the case. The
movement in this model is mounted to an iron backplate. The 41 inch high black walnut case is very dark
and retains the original finish. There are a couple of veneer chips on
the left side. The case is showing its age mainly because nothing has
been done to improve the finish. The original dial is signed and in
nice condition. The hands, door latches, pulleys, wood pendulum
stick, and brass bob may all be original to the clock. The pendulum
bob and brass bezel are stained and have not been polished. LyNew Haven #558. $900-$1200.
12.
$1700
Ansonia Clock Co., New York, “Santa Fe” wall regulator, ca 1904. An uncommon wall clock that we have not
auctioned in over 10 years except for a Ford Museum
reproduction. The 52 inch high oak case is heavy and
well constructed. This case retains its old finish, now a
little darker, but with some polish that gives it life. The
double weight time only movement is running. Brass
accessories include the pendulum bob, two weights,
signed beat scale, original door latch, and dial ring. All
of the carvings, finials, knobs, etchings, and turnings,
are all original to the case. Ly-Ansonia, pages 174-175.
$1800-$2400.
9.
$1000
“L. F. & W. W. Carter Calendar”, in a B. B. Lewis Calendar No.2 case,
ca 1862. Brothers Luther and William made calendar
clocks in Bristol, Conn. using the B.B.Lewis patent
calendar mechanisms. The beautiful rosewood case
is 32 inches, has two wood bezels with old or original
glasses. The 12 inch time dial and 8 inch calendar dial
are both professionally repainted. The B. B. Lewis
perpetual calendar mechanism is behind the lower
dial and covered with a metal plate and a very nice
green label bearing the makers name and address,
and identifying him as “The Inventor”. The inside
paper label on the backboard has slight wear but is
complete, identifying the maker and other pertinent
information. The two iron weights, pendulum, hands, both movements, and all case hardware, appear to be original to the clock.
There is a lock on the bottom bezel, but no key. The rosewood is
attractively polished and ready for your enjoyment or resale. Both
movements are functioning properly. This is one of the nicer Carter
calendar clocks we have ever offered. Ly-Calendar, page 41 and 171.
$1000-$1500.
13.
$800
Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Co. “Regulator No.14”, ca 1901. This is a large
clock, 50” tall, made of oak and is really a well constructed clock
with good cabinet work, applied ornaments, ripple moldings, some
OG type moldings, some fine jig saw work, and
pressed or carved objects top to bottom. The wood
has been routinely cleaned and polished, and has
gracefully aged to a medium shade. It has not been
harshly cleaned as much as just polished over the
years. The original 8 day time only movement is running, powered by one brass weight. It has dead beat
escapement and retaining power. The old dial pan
we believe to be original but was professionally repainted. The hands, brass bob, wood stick, and beat
scale, all appear to be original to this clock. The backboard inside was factory painted black which shows
off the bob and weight. Ly-Gilbert #359. Not too long
ago this model could have sold over $3000. That was then, this is
now. $900-$1200.
10.
$800
Waterbury Clock Co. “Regulator No.18”, ca 1906.
This wall regulator is 49 inches tall and has a dark
finish on the cleaned oak case. The iron wafer
weights are retaining the original grain painting.
This model No.18 is a later version of the early
No.18, Ca 1893. The two cases are not even similar.
The 8 day, 2 weight, time only movement is a trapezoid style, mounted on iron brackets. It has dead
beat escapement, retaining power, and solid polished movement frames. The original dial is very
good with only minor flaking around the dial mounting screws. A porcelain beat scale is in the base. The
brass pendulum bob and wood stick are the types that are used in
this model case. The door has a side latch and an original glass with
the original wood strips. Ly-Waterbury, #557. $800-$1200.
14.
$1700
“Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Co. Winsted, Conn.”, hanging “Regulator No.
11”, ca 1891. This clock is close to being perfect. There are no cracks
or corners where smoke and grime is hiding. The 50” high oak case
almost looks new. That may disqualify some collectors but thankfully a great many of us like our clocks clean and shining for that is the
3
The finish on this case is near perfect and considering it is over 100
years old the finish is outstanding. It has an 8 day signed movement
that is running and striking half hours on a standing gong. The imitation mercury pendulum made of cast metal and glass jars is elaborate, not plain. The two piece porcelain dial is signed two places, has
open escapement and correct hands. This is a very nice example of
their crystal regulator clocks. Ly-Ansonia #355. $500-750.
only way they make it into the house, otherwise,
they go to the garage or basement. This is one of
those odd and unusual clocks we get from time to
time. There are two weights that hand down either
side of the case but both are wound from only one
winding arbor. The weight cords run from they one
arbor to the top corners of the case and then down
each side. We have sold a few of these unusual
clocks in the past. It has an 8 day, time only, weight
movement, descending behind the pendulum. The
pendulum bob, weight, and dial rings, are polished.
Glass front and sides with original putty around all.
The putty could not have been black then cleaned.
The dial is signed the same as the first line in quotes
above, and it is clean. Correct hands and all case hardware. There is
no label and I do not think there ever was. Ly-Gilbert #353. $2000$2500.
18.
$171
“Atkins Clock Comp’y / Bristol, CT”, their common “London” model
shelf clock, ca 1863. The rosewood veneered case is about 17 inches
high, has two doors and gold leaf half columns.
The small bottom door is covered with veneer
while the large door normally had two gold foil
glasses. This clock has two glasses but the lower
glass appears to be a replacement. There is minor
wear to the gold leaf columns and the veneer over
the case is very nice, and near perfect. The dial is a
replacement and the hands are the proper type.
The paper label inside is complete. It has an 8 day
brass movement that is reported to be the last
design of movements used in the London model clocks. Atkins was
continually experimenting with movement, cases, weights, and
most everything else. The London clocks were the most successful
clock manufactured by the Atkins Clock Company but for some unknown reason toward the end of the company’s existence they
were not making any. The pendulum bob and coil gong are correct
and may be original to this case. It is running and striking on the
gong. Reference – “The Clocks of Irenus Atkins”, by Gregory & King,
pages 82-84. $250-$350.
11.
$800
French figural clock with Dore finish and an 8 day
silk thread movement, ca 1855. The 8 day round
French movement is signed “Vincenti & Cie /
Medaille D’Argent”. That means Vincenti was the
maker and Medaille was a metal awarded the maker, probably by the French clockmakers guild. The
door ring on the back is signed, “Duverdrey &
Bloquel / France”, another French clockmaker that
probably provided some parts to Vincenti. The bright gold dore case
is 18 inches high and 16 inches wide, complete, shows no repairs or
other problems. The movement with nickel bell attached is the typical French style movement only this early model has an original silk
thread pendulum and is running and striking properly. The one
piece porcelain dial has a tiny flake at 9 o’clock that you can only see
on close examination. The French hands are exceptional. $1000$1500.

$400
Ansonia Clock Co. Royal Bonn case named, “LaVendee”, ca 1904.
This model fast became one of the most popular of the 100 or more
porcelain models Ansonia sold. This case is primarily green shades with tints of gold, red roses,
and some yellow highlights. This case is one of
their larger, standing 14.5 inches high and 13
inches wide. It has been cleaned making the
colors brighter and more appealing to modern
collectors and decorators. The two piece porcelain dial is signed on both pieces; there is an
open escape mechanism and correct pair of
hands. The brass sash is holding a perfect beveled glass. On the back is the red Royal Bonn factory insignia and
the model name, LaVendee”. As you know these porcelain case
were kiln fired in the Royal Bonn factory, specifically for the Ansonia
Clock Company. There is a brass cover over the movement opening
on the back. The movement is signed, running, and striking a gong
on the half hours. Ly-Ansonia, page 638. $500-$750.
$400
Seth Thomas porcelain mantel clock, “Beta”, ca
1896. I have collected ST clocks since 1972 and have
bought and sold hundreds of every make and model
I could find, but I do believe this is the first ST porcelain clock I have ever owned, or seen for that matter. They never got into porcelain clocks in a big way
and only four models are pictured in Ly-Seth Thomas, page 667. The Beta model is the largest of the
four, standing 16 inches high, and reminiscent of
some of Ansonia’s better Royal Bonn cases. ST described it as, “Imported porcelain case, decorated in
color, with gilt tracing”. It has an excellent porcelain
dial, original hands and a beveled glass in a brass sash. The hinged
back cover is brass, pendulum is correct, and the 8 day time and half
hour striking movement is clean, signed, and running. It strikes on a
Cathedral bell. The clock appears to be perfect, extremely clean,
and one I would like to keep. $500-$750.

$310
French Empire, 4 column clock, ca 1890. The beautiful wood case is 19 inches tall with inlay on the
top, base, and floor between the four columns. All
around the case and on the columns is string inlay.
The round tapered columns have bronze capitals
and bases. Highlighting the clock are the case
bronze dial surround and an outstanding bronze
pendulum. The dial has swirled or zig-zag tiny designs all over and is signed but I cannot read it. I
believe the tarnished dial is silver and may brighten nicely if polished, but I don’t dare try it. The
next owner can make that decision. The hands and all other parts of

Ansonia Clock Co. New York, crystal regulator,
“Peer”, ca 1914. One of a great many styles Ansonia made, all starting with the basic movement
box consisting of four beveled plate glasses,
doors front and back, and cast metal ornaments
in various shapes and sizes for the many styles.
This case is 12 inches high and 8 inches wide. It is
finished in “Rich Gold”, Ansonia’s terminology.

owner (s) kept it clean and polished. The metal parts
including the movement are all clean and polished as
well. This model is pretty uncommon compared to
the No. 11 & No.12 models. The 8 day movement is
time only, weight driven, dead beat escapement and
it has retaining power, and is running. The most impressive thing to me is that all the accessories are
nickeled, including the dial rings, beat scale, pendulum, weight, pulley, and all are polished. The original
dial is about as nice as you will find on a clock this
old. The dial is signed. I have had it hanging in my
home for some time but need to make room for
incoming clocks or I would keep it. Ly-Gilbert #359.
$1500-$2000.
the clock are original. The 8 day movement is a typical round
French, bell striking movement that is running and striking properly.
It is not signed on the back plate. You may have noticed that more
and more of the Empire/portico clocks are coming on the market,
possibly because we have many more female/decorator buyers than
we did 5-10 years ago. $400-$750.
21.
$1100
Howard & Davis, Boston, “No. 1 Banjo”, ca 1850.
This clock was made during the time they were
transitioning over to E. Howard Co. The cases were
the same but the glasses and movements were
slightly different. This 50 inch high case was made
with hard wood and stained rosewood then varnished and polished. It is in nice condition with only
minor nicks on the bottom and a slight break on the
left side of the movement round box. I thought at
first that the word “Regulator” had been added to
the bottom glass but the original Howard & Davis
catalogs show the glasses in the No. 1 banjos identical to this one. The word “Regulator” is not found
on other banjo glasses. The old original painted dial
has always been with this case, has all the same screw holes, etc.
and is signed, “E. Howard & Co. Boston”. I found other Howard &
Davis No. 1 banjos with identical dials. The large 8 day trapezoidal
movement with maintaining power is also original to the case and I
found examples of No. 1’s with the trapezoid and rectangular movements. There is a gold painted wood stick, brass pendulum bob
retaining its intricate pattern, pendulum tie down is original, and
baffle boards are original. Note the old weight is marked “1”. I could
handle the case pretty well by myself with the weight and pendulum removed, but not with both inside the case. On each side of the
movement are original wood block dial supports. My research
turned up no other Howard, or Howard & Davis banjo clocks with
those type supports. The clock is 160 years old, not perfect, but
certainly surpassed my expectations after I took it all apart to check
it out. Ly-American Clocks, Volume 2, #473. $6000-$9000.
21.
$300
Seth Thomas ships bell clock and barometer, ca 1940. Possibly one
of the sets named “Regatta Combination” by ST except in the catalogs they did not mention that some were silver like this one. ST
says, “Fitted with 7-jeweled, fine lever movement that strikes the
ship’s bells. Clock has polished cast brass (silver) case with hinged
type wheel bezel. 4-inch silvered metal dial etched in black. Both
units are mounted on a single base of hand rubbed solid mahogany
with base moldings in bright polished brass (silver)”. It is 9 inches
high and 19 inches wide. The clock is
signed by ST and the barometer is
signed, “Made By Taylor Instrument
Cos. Rochester, NY”. It is in impeccable
condition. Ly-Seth Thomas #2625. $400
-$600.
26.
$310
F. Kroeber, New York, wood cased mantel clock,
the mirrorside model, “Artic”, ca 1888. This is
perhaps the nicest, most original mirrorside we
have ever sold. It has all the original finials, pendulum, glasses/mirrors, dial, hands, gong, beat scale,
door latch, and all other parts. The special pendulum has an accurate adjusting scale showing the
number of minutes or fractions of a minute to be
regulated. The only problem with the clock is the
broken original door glass. It is a horizontal break
across the lower part of the dial. The 8 day movement is running and striking on a Cathedral gong. The walnut case is
25 inches high and retains the original finish, slightly marbleized in
some crevices, but polished nicely. It was appraised recently for
$850. Ly-Kroeber, page 274, pictures the clock, movement, gong,
and beat scale. $500-$750.
22.
$300
Bradley & Hubbard, “John Bull”, cast iron clock, ca 1865. They made
these small iron clocks in a half dozen or more styles and used
movements from Waterbury, N. Pomeroy, S.E.Root, and others.
Some were signed, some were not. This is the first one I have seen
that did not wind on the front, but I have seen
pictures of others that wound from the back. They
are called blinker or winker clocks for the eyes
move and the movement ticks. The iron case is 17
inches tall, complete and original including most
all of the paint. We removed the dial and the back,
to inspect the movement. The balance wheel one
day movement is running. It is not signed and I
have no clue as to who made it. During shipment
to me the back of his pants and leggings, held to
the leg with screws, came loose and broke away
from one leg. When screwed back in place it fits
tight and the break is not visible. Also the eyes came loose from the
movement. I may get them fixed before the auction, if not the next
owner can have it done. We have seen these sell as high as $2000
but in recent years more like $1000, even if they are repainted or
have replaced dials, hands, etc. $500-$750.

Seth Thomas “Chime Special 106”, ca 1930.
Mahogany case stands 10 inches high and is
20 inches wide. It retains the original finish,
now darkened, but in very good condition.
Bowed and beveled glass in the hinged
sash. Five inch silvered dial with raised
bronze numerals and original hands. It is fitted with an 8 day quarter
hour Westminster chime movement that strikes on rods. Dial and
movement are signed. Clock is running. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 174.

Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Co. Winsted, Conn, “Regulator No.14”, ca 1901.
This one may be one of the nicest we have ever sold. The previous

very clean and polished and like most of the clocks
in the front part of this auction, came from a long
time collector whose clocks are in near perfect condition and all are running. All its parts are original,
polished, but are 135 years old so some wear is inevitable, such as the dial that has faded some and has a
few tiny paint chips. Most ST dials have been repainted by the time they are this old. The brass
weight, pendulum bob, beat scale and dial ring are
all clean and polished. The 8 day time only movement likewise is clean, signed, and has been serviced. It should provide many years of uninterrupted
service. Ly-Seth Thomas, pages 274-278. $1000-$1250.
has been refinished. A dark finish was applied
on the oak so now the case looks almost new.
The 12 inch dial has original paint with some
chips and wear, and is signed and has original
hands. The eight day time only movement is
running. Ly-Seth Thomas #1071. $300-$500.
29.
$1000
“E. Howard & Company, Boston”, Model No.70, ca
1910. This model was used extensively in the northeast in the public schools, railroad stations, and
many public buildings. This clock is in fine original
condition. The case is oak an features good graining
and exhibits a light honey color. The 12 inch dial is
painted on tin and is original to this case. The makers name is signed on the dial and the movement. It
has a time only eight day movement, weight driven.
The weight, pendulum ball, wood stick, and reverse
painted tablet are also original to this case. This is perhaps the
cleanest No.70 we have had the opportunity to sell. Ly-American
Clocks, Volume 1, page 123. $1000-$1500.

$410
F. Kroeber, New York, mantel clock, “Floretta”, ca 1880. The very
attractively designed walnut mantel clock is 20 inches tall, complete,
and original. This clock was also named
“Powhatan” by Kroeber in 1878, but changed it to
“Floretta” in 1880. The case is clean and polished,
The nickel dial rings and nickel and brass pendulum
bob are also polished and in good condition. A
label remains on the back but I cannot read it. Inside is an 8 day brass movement that is running
and striking a gong each hour. Ly-Kroeber #965. In
that book Mr. Ly’s panel of expert collectors valued this clock at $650. $500-$750.
30.
$1200
“E. Howard & Co. Boston”, No.5 banjo, ca 1875. The cherry case is
two feet five inches long and retains its original grain painted decoration simulating the rich look of rosewood. It has two reverse
painted glasses of black, gold and maroon, the typical colors of
Howard banjo clocks. The brass movement is signed
on the front plate, “E. Howard & Company / Boston”. The plates are damascened. The iron dial is
painted and measures seven inches in diameter, and
signed in script by the maker. The signature is worn
and faint at this time. The original iron weight is
stamped, “5”. The brass pendulum features a ring
turned design that is also damascened and supported by the original wood rod. Other original parts are
the hands, brass pendulum tie down, and the typical
Howard door locks on both doors. Ly-American

the back of the case. It comes with the original Manufacturer’s Certificate. The walnut case is 34.5 inches

Southern Calendar Clock Co. “Fashion No.3”, ca
1879. The 32” high walnut case has the original finish, not as dark or black as many we have seen, but
there is some faint accumulation of smoke in the
crevices. A light polishing occasionally has kept a
lot of pollutants from accumulating. We have the
original Texas star pendulum, and a winding key.
Everything about the clock appears to be original
with the exception of the top dial and perhaps the
three finials. They have excellent points and the
factory marks on the stubs, however anyone can
put those marks there. Correct door lock on the
side, good “Fashion” glass, four correct hands, large/polished brass
bell, polished nickeled dial rings, and at least one original painted
dial. The two movements are original and functioning properly. The
case is clean and polished. Possibly the only flaw would be the upper dial. Collectors seem to be evenly divided on this type problem.
Many will have both dials repainted, many collectors would not
dream of intruding on the originality of the clock. Ly-Calendar, pages 284-286; Ly-Seth Thomas, page 118. $1750-$2000.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Regulator No. 1”, ca 1879. This clock is the
earliest wall weight regulator ST made. Some were made with finials, some no finials but had a painted tablet. A few
were made with a round bottom and some with
large octagon top and painted tablets. It is like they
were experimenting trying to find their market
niche. This walnut veneered case is 34” high, all original, darker than I would like it to be, apparently has
not been cleaned, but has been heavily polished over
the age darkened finish. Original finials, door lock,
and original glass in the bezel. The bottom glass is
also original. Inside is a beat scale, nice brass pendulum bob, good old wood stick, original painted dial is

movement striking half hours on a standing

brass is clean and very bright. Underneath are four turned brass
feet. The sash is holding a beveled glass, over the brass dial with
recessed numbers and original hands. On the back is a brass cover
over the movement opening. Inside is a pendulum and winding key.

see the clocks in this series for collectors have
them all and rarely put them up for sale. The
pressed oak case is 24 inches tall and in good original condition including the special glass, dial, pendulum, and all other parts. The signed paper dial is
original and complete but has darkened slightly.
The hands, pendulum bob, and wire gong, are original. Ly-Welch,

with French Satin Gilt Trimmings (per the books) they look to be
brass trimmings to me. Silver dial ring and silver dial
plate with ornaments to match the trimmings on
the case. There are regulators for “Chime-Silent”
and “Fast-Slow” on the dial front, three winding
arbors, and a fine pair of original hands. Large beveled glass in the door, sides are cut out with cloth
backing. Metal feet underneath. The top of the
case is missing. It would have been 18” high with
the top, now only 14.5” high. Back door is cut out with wire mesh
and has a hook latch. Standing gong, correct pendulum, and the
nest of 8 bells over the solid plate nickel movement. Everything is
properly signed and operating properly. Ly-New Haven #343. $800$1000.

Seth Thomas, Thomaston, Conn. “Parlor Calendar No.1”, ca 1865.
The clock has a complete black and gold label on the inside of the
door. This clock came from a New York collector,
the part of the USA where most of the early clocks
are today. They are ever so slowly becoming available to other collectors. The rosewood veneered
case is 33 inches high, retaining the original finish,
now darker as it has aged. The veneer is near perfect. I would call it perfect but you will find a nick
probably. It has the correct pair of iron weights, an
old pendulum bob, a male key to operate the side
door lock, and a winding key for the running movement. The two dials are correctly painted replacements as are the hands. The signed 8 day lyre
movement has good weight cords, is running and
striking hours on the coil gong. Other than the dials this is a very
original clock and worthy of someone’s collection. Ly-Seth Thomas,

over, has old glasses, bottom repainted or
touched up. The clock has been restored, by that
I mean cleaned with polish to give it a beautiful
ready to put on the mantel finish. The door has a
wood escutcheon, door lock with key, and the
brass finials are three piece. The case has been
cleaned/polished and rubbed to a nice furniture
finish. The scroll top, chimneys, returns, weight
cords, weight rollers, and all other parts are original. Same with the base, all original. Label inside
has some paper loss in the weight chutes, pair of
old iron weights, and an old brass bob, door key, and winding crank.
Excellent wood dial has no fading or stretch marks, and it has what
appears to be original hands. The clock has been owned in the past
by one or more nationally known collectors. As with all clocks, we
are only custodians of these rare treasurers for a short time. Ly-Seth

Ansonia Clock Co. New York, NY, Royal Bonn cased clock, “La

large ones, 14.5 inches wide and 12 inches high. On the back are the
Royal Bonn Company’s insignia and the clock
name, painted on the case before it was kiln
fired in the German factory. As will all their
porcelain clocks there is an assortment of
colors including a sprinkling of gold accents
and flowers which you see on most of their
clocks. There is a signed two piece porcelain
dial, open escapement mechanism and the
correct hands. Over the dial are the brass sash and beveled glass.
On the back is a brass cover over the movement opening. Inside the
case is a signed 8 day movement, Cathedral gong, and correct pendulum bob. The movement is running and striking half hours and

the inside of the door. Everything looks to be original except the dials were professionally repainted.
The finials have complete tips but as with all Fashion finials may be replacements. This model usually
has bad veneer with chips on the bezels, the base
and the top. Other than a few tiny chips and edge
scuff marks this one is about as nice as I have seen.
Some of the veneer looks more like rosewood than
walnut. If you are trying to collect nice examples of
all the Fashions you won’t go wrong with this one.
Ly-Calendar, page 283. $750-$1000.
“Patented in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland”, and in
the directions it says, “Directions for Setting up Stewart Chime
Clock”. The chime movement is signed, “Wilcock, Canada, Patented
1896”. The 8 day solid plate running movement
was made by New Haven and is double wind. The
strike hammer on the running movement hits a
lever that activates the chime movement. It plays
Westminster chimes on a set of four coil wire
gongs. The hour strike is sounded on a fifth gong.
The mahogany case is 16.5 inches high and 12 inches wide, fitted with a beveled glass over the signed
dial. The dial is signed by the New Haven Clock Co.
The chime movement is wound on the side of the
case next to the chime/silent lever. The movement is mounted on a
cast iron frame, figure 8 in shape, the chime mechanism is mounted
on the lower half of the iron bracket. The case has carved ornaments, carved capitals over the fluted columns, ripple beading
around the top. It is complete, original and in excellent condition
and has a complete label on the back. It is running and functioning
properly. This identical clock is the subject of a lengthy article in the
August 1988 NAWCC Bulletin.

Waterbury Clock Co. “Regulator No. 19”, ca 1896. The
cleaned and polished oak case is 50” tall. The old glass
is held with the original wood strips. All wood parts
are original, including some applied trim, and some
small carved pieces, and grooved designs. The case is
smoky dark inside as was no doubt the same outside
before it was cleaned. Signed porcelain beat scale,
brass pendulum bob, wood stick, practically a complete paper label inside although worn, two round
weights that descend the sides, excellent original
painted dial, and original hands. The seconds hand is
correct, and they pulleys and hooks are correct. Two door latches
and a winding key complete the accessories. Ly-Waterbury #626.
This clock is not pictured in any of the Waterbury Clock Co. catalogs.
Mr. Ly obtained a photo from the Roy Ehrhardt books which I assume was a picture of an original No.19. The label in this case says,

French marble/onyx clock with chariot rider and three horses, ca
1885. A very unusual clock. The case is 21 inches high and mostly
white onyx with brown veins which is common with onyx/marble. I
only see one small corner chip. As heavy as the clock
is I am surprised it is even holding together. It is all I
can do to move it. It has brass ornaments from the
horses on top to a large sheet underneath. The two
columns are full round. The sash is holding a beveled
and bowed glass. Marble dial appears to have a big
problem area at the 9, but is actually shading and
veins in the onyx. It has applied brass numerals and
very nice hands. The dial is signed, but very faint, and
I cannot make it out. On the back is a brass door over
the movement opening. It has a typical French movement, round, 8 day, striking half hours on a standing gong. It would
be an eye catching clock if cleaned and brass brightened. $750$1000.

Ansonia Clock Company, hanging clock, “Capitol”, ca

appear to be original. There are three glasses, a Lady
Minerva bust on the top, and a side door latch. Inside
is a metal beat scale, a brass bob, wood stick, bell for
the strike, brass dial rings, good hands, and the 8 day
signed movement, all seemingly original to the case.
The double wind movement is running, keeping excellent time and striking the bell on cue each hour. The
old dial pan has been repainted at some time on the
original zinc dial pans. The case is a black walnut with
a good looking finish. Ly-Ansonia #597. $1250-$1500.

that would go with a ca 1825 pillar and scroll clock.
The walnut case is 31.5 inches tall, has a brass door
knob, nice reverse painted tablet, three solid brass
finials, and overall is a nice looking copy of an early

held by a hook on the case side. Note that most of
the paper label is intact on the back of the door and
there is part of a label of instructions inside the
case. Both dials have been painted and of course are
in excellent condition. Good calendar rollers, three
original hands, winding key, and brass pendulum

Southern Calendar Clock Co. “Fashion No.2”, ca 1876. The 31 inch
high case is made with walnut veneer and was the first Fashion with
finials and side columns. The No. 1 had paper dials but beginning
with the No.2 they were painted on zinc. Since these dials are paper
we must assume they are replacements. The label on the back of
the door says the clock was put into operation on September 1,
1877. The 8 day brass movement is signed by Seth Thomas as being
made for Southern Calendar, etc. It is running and striking hours on

the one I would buy. This exact clock is pictured in Ly-American

E. Howard & Co. Boston, “Regulator No. 70, ca 1880.
Here is a nice original Howard clock packaged in a
32” walnut case with a beautiful mellow and aged
finish. It is clean, polished and all original. The worst
things I can say about the clock is the original finish
is a little dark. It has been polished and any nicks or
scrapes are impossible to see. All the parts appear
to be original including the painted dial, hands,
latches, brass damascened bob, pendulum stick,
pendulum tie down, baffle board, and the correct
iron weight and pulley. The dial is signed, “E. Howard & Co. / Boston”, and the signature paint is strong. The weight is
marked, “70”. Glasses are original; paint on the lower glass is very

Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Co. “Regulator No. 10, Hanging”, ca 1910. We seldom see this model, and have
only seen a couple sell in 40 years. There was one
sold in an east coast auction 15 years ago for over
$5000, not nearly as nice as this near perfect clock.
We have sold many Regulator No.11 models, none as
nice as this clock. Some may complain that the 53”
oak case is too nice but we see no indications it has
ever been cleaned or refinished. Perhaps polished or
rubbed, but when you see no black in the multitude
of grooves and carvings, you have to feel that it has
been protected thru its existence. It came to us with
the superb collection of clocks, and the collector
said it was the one clock in his house that everyone
tried to buy. Accessories are brass and nickel; bob,
weight, pulley, beat scale, and dial rings. Three good glasses, one
held with the original putty, other two with new putty, colored
over. Good wood stick, burl insert in the back board, new signed
dial, three correct hands, and the original 8 day time only movement. If I were a Gilbert collector, this clock would not leave the
house. The No.10 that sold 15 years ago for $5000 had several imperfections. That should mean this beautiful clock is worth twice as
much. Ly-Gilbert, page 135. $1500-$2000.

Wm. L. Gilbert hanging clock, “Linden”, ca 1910.
There must not have been many of this model made.
My inventory records dating back to 1970 do not
show that any has gone thru our auctions. The walnut case is 37 inches tall, complete and original. It has
been cleaned and polished inside and out. You will
only need to hang it on the wall and wind it to get
years of enjoyment. Note the brass pendulum bob
and dial rings have been polished and a new paper
dial installed. The glass is old and I suspect it was
removed from the case when it was thoroughly
cleaned of accumulated smoke, however an original
glass might have had a factory design. It has an 8 day time only
movement and is running properly. You will not have to silence this
clock when company spends the night. I get so tired of doing that. I
could not keep the light from reflecting on the glass and inside the
case. It is perfect so the imperfections are my fault. Ly-Gilbert #384.

both glasses, hands, dial, two door latches, and the
movement, are all original to this case and in excellent condition. The double wind time only movement runs 30 days. We are always pleasantly surprised when we find they run 30 days. The original
label inside this case is extremely rare and one I
have never seen. At this writing I am reaching out
to many people and organizations in an attempt to
verify the label. It reads, “Seth Thomas / Clockmaker / Wolf Hollow, Connecticut”. I could speculate
about the clock and the label but defer until I can get more conclusive information. Next to the Seth Thomas No.2 Regulators, we consider this long drop model to be one of the company’s crowning

Seth Thomas named two clocks for the presidents
(Lincoln and Garfield) the only two presidents who
had been assassinated in office at the time these
clocks were made. Of course since then there has
been another. Both clocks were large compared
to other shelf clocks of that period and they were
both powered by two weights, and were geared
to run eight days. This clock is near perfect, the
only change from original is there is no label. The 8
day movement is signed, running and strikes hours on a large Cathedral gong. There is certainly nothing wrong about a clock with brass
accessories, but a clock that has nickeled accessories is really special. It has an excellent damascened nickel pendulum bob, two correct nickel weights, a nickel beat scale, nickel gong, nickel pulleys,
nickel dial rings, original hands, and an old winding key. Ly-Seth

can tell from the labels it is certainly authentic. It
closely resembles a clock made by Seth Thomas,
the Eclipse or Balltop. I suspect the ST balltop was
so successful Welch produced a similar clock. The
oak case is 26 inches high, has been cleaned of an
accumulation of smoke, and has all its original
parts with the exception of a replaced paper dial.
The inside of the case is jam packed with a large
gong, alarm movement and brass bell, and of course the 8 day time
and striking movement. Everything is clean, polished, and fully operational. This is a rare clock, one I have never sold before. $500-$750.

“F. Kroeber, New York”, walnut mantel clock,
“Rambler”, ca 1888. Excellent original clock, stands
20.5 inches tall, clean, polished, complete label on
the back, original glass, dial, pendulum, signed
gong base, signed beat scale, and signed 8 day time
and striking movement. It is running and striking
the gong each hour. The only thing keeping the
clock from being near perfect is the slightly soiled
original dial. Ly-Kroeber #1123. $250-$400.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. a City Series clock, “Ogden”, ca 1881. The
factory date is stamped on the case back. This is another of Seth
Thomas fine parlor clocks, great style and quality, carved ornaments
on the sides and top, dentil molding above the
door, and other exceptional trim around the walnut case. It is 21 ½” high, complete and all original. It has a very nice original glass in the door,
key locking door, and excellent black label inside,
new paper on the dial, and correct hands. It has a
fine ST bob, nickeled with damascened circles all
over. Nickeled dial rings and nickel gong base. 8
day lyre movement is signed “ST” and “Seth
Thomas Clock Co.”, running, and striking the
large Cathedral gong on the hours. Every time I
list a group of very nice City Series clocks in the
catalogs, I get a hankering to collect them again. Selling my collection of 90 City Series clocks got me started in this clock business.
That was my first big mistake. There are no finer mantel clocks made
by any company, than many of the Seth Thomas City Series clocks.

clean, original, and in near perfect condition. It has

“E. N. Welch Mfg. Co. / Forestville, Conn. U.S.A.”,
rosewood mantel clock, “Beehive”, ca 1878. This is
the nicest, nearest to perfect beehive clock I have
ever seen. It is definitely a keeper. The rosewood
veneered case is 18 inches tall, tablet depicts a lion
ready to devour a wild boar. Original painted zinc
dial has slight wear or normal aging, Complete label
inside, and alarm movement. The alarm strikes a
bell; the running movement strikes a coil gong. Old

Southern Calendar Clock Co. “Fashion No.2”, ca 1877. This model is
walnut veneered, stands 31” high, and was the last Fashion model
that was veneered. Others were made of solid walnut. It was the
first model with three finials, and almost impossible to find one with
good original veneer. The veneer on this case is as nice as I have
seen on a No.2 Fashion. The finials are correct replacements turned
from walnut and stained to match the case however the tips on all three are gone. The collector
had new tips made but not installed. They will be
with this clock is you buy it. Also, if you prefer I
will include a set of new finials that we have sold
for years for $25. You would need to stain and fit
them to the case. The dials are now covered with
new paper. Good paper label inside indicating the
clock was sold in 1877. It has a correct pendulum
bob, and a good 8 day brass movement made by
Seth Thomas Clock Co. for Southern Calendar
Clock Co. It is signed by ST, clean and is running
and striking a brass bell each hour. If in excellent
condition this model might bring $1500, of course this one is not
excellent because of the finials and replaced dials. Ly-Calendar,

Ansonia Clock Co. New York, NY, “La Corsia”, ca 1901. The large Royal Bonn case is
extremely clean and is in original condition
with no breaks, chips, hairlines, or repairs.
The case is off white, baby blue with painted flowers front and sides. Of particular
interest are the large blue mythological
birds on the front. The case is 14 inches
wide and 12 inches high and is in the group of their Royal Bonn
clocks we classify as very large and therefore usually command a
larger price. There is a beveled glass in the brass sash, signed two
piece porcelain dial, original hands, and an open escapement mechanism. On the back over the movement opening is a brass cover.
Inside the case of course is an 8 day signed movement, clean and
running, and striking half hours on a Cathedral gong. Included are a

ca 1910-1920. This clock was one of their Colonial Series, this they numbered, “No.41”. This series would
have a small portrait of President Washington in the
throat glass and a painting of Mt.Vernon in the lower
glass, or they would have President Jefferson and his
home, Monticello. This walnut case is 41 inches tall,
shows only slight wear, and a tiny touch up on the
lower glass, otherwise a very clean case, polished and
ready to enjoy. The movement is 8 day with heavy
brass plates, pendulum movement with a heavy
weight descending the length of the case. The clock is
complete, original, and fully operational. Ly-Clocks,

red adamantine case is 15” wide, 13” high,
with rolling lines on the base and sides. It is
undoubtedly the nicest, most near perfect
Sonora Chime clock I have seen. There is a
bowed and beveled glass in the brass sash. The one piece silver dial
is clean and there is a slow/fast adjuster on the dial. The back wood
cover is also near perfect. Both movements are clean and polished,
everything inside is original. A correct pendulum bob and key inside

Waterbury Clock Company, Waterbury,
Conn.. mantel clock, “Madison”, ca 1891.
The company described the clock as having,
“polished walnut, with mottled ash veneers, cabinet finish”. The case is 14 inches
high and 19.5 inches wide. The wood parts
of the case are near perfect except the
back cover over the opening is replaced. It has some incised designs
on the base and top and the 6 full columns are eye catching. The
appearance is that of a really big clock. The only shortcoming I see is
a replaced paper dial. On the back is a complete label. The signed 8
day movement is running and striking half hours on a gong. They
used their “Star” movement in this clock, which they felt was a cut
above some other movements. Ly-Waterbury #1747. $150-$250.

excellent condition. It has a new paper dial on the
old pan. The two movements, running and alarm,
have been cleaned and serviced, both in fine operating condition. The dial rings are polished and all the
metal ornaments are clean. The alarm should ring
on a brass bell but it is missing. The running movement strikes a Cathedral gong. The brass bell is easy
to obtain. The oak case is 30 inches high. The tablet/
glass is original to the case, door latches on the
side. On the back is a near complete label but is very dark. $300$500.

Seth Thomas mantel clock, one of the Fleet Series, “Fleet No.3”, ca 1913. Cases in this series of
3 clocks were made of old oak, standing 23 inches high, all had the same tablet showing three
ships that steamed around the world in 1909 on
what they called the “Wonderful Peach Cruise
of the US Fleet”. The case is pretty much, “as
found”, it is clean, retains a dark finish, has a full
label on the back, and everything about the
clock is original. The dial is signed and in original
but pretty rough condition. Inside is the 8 day
movement that is running and striking half
hours on a wire bell. This clock also has an alarm that rings on a
brass bell. Ly-Seth Thomas #2283. $200-$350.

and wood parts are all original. The glass and the paper dial are
replacements. Nothing elaborate about the case
yet it is very attractive considering the spiral
shaped ornaments, applied finials and other wood
pieces, and the etched designs top and sides. There
is a ripple like design along the top and base. The
movement is 8 day, signed, and running. It strikes a
gong on half hours and hours. Large solid brass
pendulum bob on a wood stick. On the back are
most of two paper labels, one indicating sales offices in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and Glasgow (Scotland), the other more or less a label of instructions. LyWaterbury #254. $400-$600.

ornaments. Inside is a very dark label and on the
back are two perfect labels. The brass pendulum

have them all and rarely put them up for sale.
The pressed oak case is 24 inches tall and in good
original condition including the special glass. The
dial paper has been replaced but the pendulum
and all other parts are original. The hands are
questionable but the wire gong; the alarm movement and brass bell are original. Ly-Welch, page

collector needs it to start or fill in their collection.

wooden case in the Vienna style, ca 1875. The case is 47.5 inches
high, original removable top, three finials on the bottom, three glasses, and latching door. The clock has
been well maintained and shows very little wear, has
no chips, or scuff marks. No doubt it has been pampered. The movement is signed, “F. Kroeber / N. Y.”,
plus it bears the serial number “50369”. That same
serial number is also etched on the brass back plate
and the pendulum hook. The two piece porcelain dial
is very good and the three hands are original. The
brass weight, brass dial rings, brass pendulum bob,
brass back plate, and the 8 day time only weight driven movement are all polished. The brass weight shell
has dents. The movement is running. Ly-Kroeber has
many Vienna’s pictured and their numbers go above

nicer looking than any of those that are pictured. $1250-$1500.

mahogany finish”. There are two shades of the wood
and it is clean and polished. The lower door and the

high walnut case is clean and polished, looks near
perfect. If it had the original painted picture of the
female on the bottom glass it would be extraordinary. Both glasses are original so the painting evidently disintegrated. The painted metal dial is original as are the hands, pendulum bob, and very
good black label inside. All the metal ornaments
are intact and came with the clock. Inside is an 8

original parts. Beveled glass in the brass sash, two
piece porcelain dial that is signed and perfect,
original hands, and an open escapement. On the
back is the original metal cover. Inside is the 8 day
movement that is running and striking a gong on

base and all of another label remains on the back.
This case was stamped at the factory in 1908, the
date it was made, although they were making the
College Series in the 1880’s. The books show the
series made in 1900 but we know that is not true. I
have had them factory marked in the 1880’s. The 8

difficult to get a good picture of a coal black clock. It
is black inside, outside, and on the back. Inside is a
complete and original black label. If you like the color
you will like everything else for it is all original except
the replaced paper dial. There are three hands, pendulum, gong, door lock, glass, and all the little finials
and spindles. The movement is 8 day, heavy duty, a
seconds dial, and it is signed, running, and striking
properly. The external fly is on the strike side. The
case is 36” high. The movement, label, case, etc. are
pictured in Ly-Seth Thomas, page 326. In years gone
by we have sold many Queen Anne’s for over $2000. $1200-$1500.
E. Ingraham Clock Co. hanging, “Hartford”, case, ca
1911. Solid oak case is 32 inches high, and the wood
parts are good. Both latches need attention, and
bottom glass has had the decals added. The 8 day
movement is signed “New Haven”, and is not a
calendar movement, but time only. The dial paper is
relatively new so I suppose the calendar hand was
put on to make it look complete. Extra holes behind
the New Haven movement are where the original
Ingraham movement was attached. The pendulum,
again I suppose, came with the New Haven movement. The dial pan evidently is original to the case, but again, I cannot be sure. A good looking, inexpensive clock, if you do not mind it
being a marriage. $200-$350.

Avenue”, in other words there is a set of carvings on each side,
front and back. The clean walnut case is 24 ½” high and seemingly
all original. On the back about half of a paper label
remains in place. Large metal ornaments top and
bottom, and a special metal sash around the dial,
that Ansonia only used on a very few of their better clocks. The paper dial was replaced. Note the
special metal pendulum. There is a winding key,
correct hands, and a signed gong. The movement

dial, convex glass, gold plated sash, and an 8 day time

Cathedral gong on the hours. The two piece original dial is signed
and has a few paint chips. The hands may or may not be original but
are the correct type. There is most of a black label inside. I have

Seth Thomas mantel clock with adamantine finish, “Shasta”, ca 1911. The

toned, darker wood around the dial.
Undoubtedly one of their most attractive adamantine cases and has always been the choice of collectors,
particularly if clean and original, which this one is. We see a great
many mantel clocks we call “blacks”, and most are cheaply made
and in my humble opinion, unattractive, however this one is crème
de crème. It has a clean sash and rings around the dial, flat glass,
and correct hands. On the back is a label and a metal back door over
the movement opening. Inside is the signed 8 day movement and

Welch, Spring & Co. calendar clock, “Audran,

selling for $3500-$4000, and one we know of
sold at auction for around $4000. This case has
been cleaned and looks magnificent. There is
considerable carving and interesting applied
wood ornaments all over the front, top to bottom. Both dials are original and the bottom dials
always look new because they live their existence behind a sealed glass. The eight day calendar movement is running and operating properly and the bottom
movement on the back of the door is changing as instructed by the
time movement. The bottom movement is covered with a black and
gold label that usually says, “B.B.Lewis Perpetual Calendar / The
Inventor”. This one says, “B.B.Lewis Perpetual Calendar / Welch,
Spring & Co. / Bristol, Conn. / U.S.A.”. Old glasses, brass bob, brass
key, brass bezels, and all correct hands. The calendar dial on the
bottom is signed, “Welch, Spring & Co. Forestville, Conn. U.S.A.”.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. Double Dial calendar clock, “Parlor Calendar
No. 10”, ca 1896. This is the early model with acorn finials on the top
four corners and a fancier trim on the base. The
walnut case is 36” high and decorated top to
bottom with carved objects, turned columns,
grooves and etchings, applied wood trim, and
various shades of burl walnut. To me this is one
of ST most elaborate cases and a great progression in case styles since their beginning in the
1860’s. This case has been lightly cleaned and
rubbed, and is just dark enough to have a nice
aged look. As far as we can tell it is complete,
all original, has no repairs. The dials have been
professionally repainted by The Dial House with
all names and trademarks the originals would
have had. The hands, rollers in the lower dial, brass bob, and two
large iron weights, all look to be original. The large weights descend
each side of the case. The 8 day time movement and perpetual calendar movement are operating properly and it strikes the hours on
a cathedral bell. The bell is attached to a nickel gong base. On the
inside of the door is a complete black label and on the back is a factory stamp indicating the clock was made February 1889. Ly-Seth

No.2”, ca 1891. Oak case is 36 ½” high, with the original finish but has been cleaned at some point but
has no polish, looks dull. Door lock on the side, two
original glasses, and an old label inside. The dial is
original and typical of ST dials as it has some flaking,
but is a lot better than most old Seth Thomas clock
dials. It has three correct hands, and the dial is
signed. Pendulum bob, wood stick, and the pulley
are original. The brass weight is not original but
looks fine in the clock. You can buy a correct weight
from Timesavers or on EBay. They are not difficult to
find. The white spot t the bottom left in the picture
is a piece of paper I failed to remove. Everyone should have at least
one Seth Thomas Regulator No.2. They have to be America’s favorite clock. Ly-Seth Thomas, pages 276-277. $600-$1000.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Parlor Calendar No.4”,
ca 1886. This early calendar clock is 25” high and
one of their first they made that did not have
the box look. The case is polished walnut, all
original, clean and polished yet retaining its rich
original walnut shade. It has nice case designs,
door lock on the side, and two original glasses.
It has a white label inside on the door, with a
15
ivory handle on the upper door over the dial has been replaced. A
double-fusee model sold at Schmitts in May 2011 for $1500. $1200$1500.

Gustav Becker Vienna Regulator, ca 1890. An excellent
and most unusual Vienna regulator It has a signed 8
day movement with a serial number #795709 that
dates the movement at 1890. It strikes on a coil gong
attached to the movement back plate. The movement,
case, brass weights, brass pendulum bob, and all attached case parts appear to have begun life together.
One can never be sure of finials but they all appear to
match other case parts. The two piece porcelain dial is
perfect, hands are right for the dial and brass dial
rings. Small seconds hand is also original. There is a
porcelain beat scale, two door latches, and three good
glasses. The large walnut case is 50” tall. Similar clocks are pictured
in Rich Ortenburger’s book, “Vienna Regulators and Factory
Clocks”. $500-$750.

New Haven Drop Octagon #2, 1880. A very nicely
refinished rosewood or mahogany-veneered case,
24 inches tall with a professionally repainted 12-inch
dial on the original pan. Both glasses are old, the
upper has been reputtied into place, the lower
matches the eglomise pattern shown in Ly’s book
on New Haven clocks, page 165. The hands are old
but probably not original. The time-only pinned 8day movement is not signed. It is running reliably. There are sufficient remnants of the label to establish the manufacturer. $100$175.

$130
Anglo- American Round Drop, ca. 1890. Although
there is no label identifying the maker, this is typical of Anglo-American clocks made for export to
England. The 8-day brass time-and-strike movement is signed New Haven and is running and keeping time, striking on a nickel bell with a very nice
tone. The 27-inch walnut case has mother of pearl
button inserts around the front, connected by very
thin inlaid lines of an unidentified material. The
painted 11-inch metal dial is probably original, with some crackling of
the paint, and the numbering has been touched up. Both glasses
are newer, and the carved door on the bottom does not have a
clasp to hold it closed. Some wear overall, but a better example
than is typical. $150-$300.

Jefferson Electric “Golden Helm”, 1958. A mystery
clock from the 1950’s. This nautically-themed clock,
with hook and anchor hands and a ship’s wheel bezel is
just under 8 inches high. The finish on this clock is
clean and it has a new cord. It is running reliably and
quietly. This is a great clock for the sailing enthusiast.
$100-$150.

Lone Trail Cigar advertiser clock, ca. 1910. This is likely
a Japanese box clock made for Schmidt & Company
cigar manufacturers out of New York City. Schmidt &
Co. were in business from 1875 to 1915 and marketed a
number of cigar lines, each with a unique brand and
label. This Lone Trail brand label was copyrighted in
1901. The label continues to be a popular image, and
if you have an original cigar box label for this brand it
is currently worth well over $1000. This clock is not
that valuable. The movement is unsigned, 8-day time and strike and
is running efficiently. Everything appears original except the hands,
including the lower cut glass and the paper dial, unfortunately
stained with oil on the right side. The original finish is very dark but
there is a nice routed pattern on the door frame, with rope twists
above and below. The clock is 18.25 inches high. No comparable
sales for this clock, but original advertisers like this retail for $400$800.

Seth Thomas “Pittsburgh V.P.”, ca. 1880. A 23-inch walnut case in
reasonable shape. Someone used tape on the sides and the finish
was roughened when the tape was removed, but I
think that can be restored with just a bit of steel
wool followed by some wax. The case has been
cleaned but not thoroughly, so there is room for
further improvement if you prefer a freshly restored look. All the trim pieces are present and in
place, but again some cleaning might be warranted. The dial is a new paper replacement and the
dial pan may not be original, as it has been glued
to the brass bezel. The hands are old and correct.
Behind the dial is the appropriate 8-day Seth
Thomas movement that strikes on a shiny brass bell behind the cut
glass pendulum unique to this and just a couple of other Seth Thomas clocks. It is running and striking as expected. The glass is early
20th century and there is no label inside or out, and no date on the
back. We sold one in March of 2013 for $730. $500-$750.

Atkins Clock Co. Octagon Drop 30-day, 1856-57. Irenus Atkins
formed the Atkins Clock Manufacturing Company in 1855, and began manufacturing 30-day double-fusee octagon drop timepieces
from 1856 to 1857. Prior to this he had been in
partnership with Adna Whiting with an agreement
with Joseph Ives to use his lever spring movement in 30-day clocks, and after 1859 the Atkins
Clock Company made 8-day spring time-and-strike
movements, all in the same 25-inch rosewood
octagon drop case seen here. The double-fusee
movement in this clock is running steadily but
with some slight irregularity in the beat. The ripple molding around the octagon border is complete; the painted metal dial appears to be original and is in good
shape, with some alligatoring of an old varnish coating; the lower
glass bears the distinctive design characteristic of these clocks, and
has been rebacked in black. We can find three weaknesses: The
hands are probably not original, the label is largely illegible, and the

Ansonia “Senator”, 1904. A large and impressive
cabinet clock with gilded brass trimmings all
around. The 22-inch high oak case has been refinished and some of the brass trim has been repainted, including the gold Venus de Milo’s on the front.
The silver dial is in outstanding shape, bright and
shiny, with just a couple of spots of excessive
wear. The hands are original. You can find this
clock on pages 242-243 of Ly’s book on Ansonia clocks. The Ansonia
8-day movement is running reliably, striking the hour and half-hour;

E.N. Welch ripple-front Round Gothic (Onion-top), 1848-1857. J.C.
Brown manufactured ripple-front “onion-tops” in the late 1840’s,
and later was bought out by Elisha Welch about 1856. Welch continued to manufacture ripple-fronts through the late 1850’s. The label
in this clock is so dark that it can only be determined that it is a
Brown/Welch label; there are several examples of such labels where
either Brown or Welch is indicated as the primary manufacturer.
Some were manufactured under a Forestville label. The movement
in this ripple-front is signed E.N. Welch, and
matches movements found in other Welch beehives and steeples of this period. The unsigned
dial is certainly old and in nice shape, probably
with the original painted numerals, and shows
some touch-up to a scratch between the 6 and 7.
The hands are old and correct, but the minute
hand has been adapted from an hour hand; the
upper glass is certainly original and is still held in
by the original putty. Brown and Welch manufactured these clocks with a variety of glasses including reverse painted as found here. It has small pieces of what appears to be mother-of-pearl glued over losses, giving the glass picture flashes of opalescence from the front. There also are pieces of
brown paper glued to the back of the picture, perhaps to preserve
the painting. They do not show through the front. The ripple molding is unmarred on this 20-inch walnut case and the finials are correct and appear original, although one has lost its point (right rear).
The handle on the door is not period. The wire gong is period and
Welch/Brown appropriate. The clock is running, keeping time, and
striking on the hour. Prices for these clocks over the last decade
have averaged $3300 at East Coast auction houses. We sold one in
May of 2014 for $2885.
the strike chain is quite noisy. The pendulum bob is new. Half-adozen sales in the Antique Clocks Price Guide, most recently (2011)
for $1900 at Harris. $1840-$2100.

Seth Thomas “Oregon”, 1883. With the “Cocobola finish” and marquetry ornamentation on top. No doubt the finish on
this 19.5-inch case has been renewed, but it looks great.
There is a split to the wood at the top of the door, but
otherwise no significant flaws. The dial was repainted
by The Dial House and the hands are old, as is the door
glass. The Seth Thomas 8-day time-and-strike movement needs service to get it to run. At one time it had
an alarm (alarm mounting holes are filled in the backboard); it strikes the hour and half-hour on a cathedral
gong. No label left inside, and no date on the back. A
couple of recent sales on eBay, for $355 and $560. $355-$560.

Ansonia “Register”, 1901. A porcelain clock in cobalt with a rococo
sash, beveled glass, and open escapement in a
signed porcelain dial. Not quite 11.5 inches high by
13 inches wide, with no chips or evident repairs.
Ansonia 8-day movement, running and keeping
time, striking on the hour and half-hour. Just
needs a touch of cleaning. $450-$550.

Ansonia “La Rita”, ca. 1895. A Royal Bonn porcelain clock in Rich
Green with pink and yellow roses on the front.
The signed porcelain dial has a couple of hairlines
between the 5 and 6, Ansonia hands, and a beveled glass in rococo sash. There is a slight interior
chip to the glass at the 11 position. The signed
Ansonia 8-day movement with an open escapement is running and striking on the hour and half-hour. The case is
11.5 inches high by 14 inches wide and has no chips or evident repairs. There is some faint crazing to the front painting. $475-$600.

$371
Ansonia “Crown” crystal regulator, 1914. One of Ansonia’s more popular crystal regulators, 15.5 inches tall
in polished brass with rich gold ornaments and base.
Wear to the finish is noticeable but not excessive; the
signed porcelain dial with Arabic numerals shows
some hairlines. Four beveled glasses with no scratches or chips, a replacement 2-jar pendulum, and a suspended cathedral gong. The clock is running and
striking on the hour and half-hour. The average sale
price for Crowns on eBay over the last several years is $571.
210.

Ansonia “No. 503”, ca. 1900. A Royal Bonn porcelain
clock in Cream with pink flowers on the front and
sides. The signed porcelain dial has no flaws, Ansonia hands, and a beveled glass in rococo sash. The
signed Ansonia 8-day movement with an open escapement is running and striking on the hour and
half-hour. The case is 14.5 inches high by 11 inches
wide and has no chips or evident repairs. Another uncommon model; Schmitt’s sold a similar one in 2012 for $650. $600-$800.

$400
Ansonia “Crown” crystal regulator, 1914. Just a bit
nicer than #682, with a fancy gold bezel and a cleaner
porcelain dial with Roman numerals and no hairlines.
The wear to the finish is again noticeable but not excessive, the 2-jar pendulum is original, and there is a
fancier standing cathedral gong. Four beveled glasses with no chips or scratches. Running and striking
on the hour and half-hour, as required. $450-$550.
211.
$621
Ansonia “Reflector”, 1886. A largely refurbished ebony Reflector.
Most if not all of the 35-inch case has been professionally repainted
in a flat black lacquer and the gold highlighting in the
incising restored. From all evidence it’s an original
case, just repainted. The gold trim panels at the top,
bottom, and sides are original and not repainted; the
glass is original with a very worn pattern unique to
this model. The side mirrors are old but should be
beveled. There are no missing finials. The Ansonia
signed paper dial is relatively new, the hands correct
and old. The signed movement is running and striking
the hour on a cathedral gong. The brass pendulum
bob has a large dent. $800-$1100.

Gilbert “Octagon Drop” Maranville calendar, ca.
1870. Gilbert used this simple calendar patented
by Galusha Maranville in several models. Early
models had a painted metal dial and signed
‘Maranville’ at the top; you advanced the day of
the week and month by using the key to turn the
studs at the top and bottom of the dial, as Maranville patented (and as on this clock). Later models
17
circumvented the patent by removing the studs, and you advanced
the day and date simply by sliding the dials around. At that point
Gilbert could leave the Maranville name off the dial. The fit of the
month and weekday dials to the gearing is loose on this clock, but
can be managed with effort if you want to keep the calendar current. The dial was originally painted but this clock has a thick paper
dial replacement, commonly found, with soiling evident at the
openings for the weekdays and month. The hands are correct but
the minute hand is a trimmed replacement; the upper glass is old
but the lower tablet is a newer replacement, again correct to style.
The rosewood veneer on the 23.5-inch case is nearly completely
intact, with just a few small chips at the lower left edge. The 8-day
Gilbert movement is running and the calendar is advancing. There is
a nice label inside showing that this clock was made for N. C. Hyde &
Co. Schmitt’s sold one in 2012 for $550. $450-$550.
looks good, but cannot be coaxed to run; the spring is fully wound.
It will strike if you advance the hands. Not a bad looking clock; maybe you can get it running. $750-$1500.

Seth Thomas “St. Paul”, 1880. This is a really nicely refinished 21-inch walnut case with beautiful
burled walnut on the door, and very few nicks and
scrapes. The door was either stripped or replaced,
as it is not stained on the inside edges and the
glass is new. In addition, several trim pieces at the
top and bottom corners are missing. It has a paper
dial, the hands are correct, the mirrored glass pendulum is correct, with a bit of mirror deterioration
evident. The lyre-type Seth Thomas 8-day movement is clean and
running, counting the hours on a nickel bell. There once was a label
on the interior floor, but no date on the back. There is a bit of a
scrape, nicely touched up, on the top. The finish on this clock is
about as nice as you’ll find. The last time we sold one of these was
March 2013, for $750.

$160
Tabasco Advertiser box clock, 1920’s. A 19.5-inch wall clock made to
advertise McIlhenny’s Tabasco pepper sauce. The 8day time-and-strike movement is presumably Korean,
with a large ‘K’ imprint. There is no label, inside or
back. There are two small side glasses, a single old
front glass, and a thick wire gong. The pendulum bob
is nickel or, more likely, tin. The paper advertiser dial is
in good shape; the clock is running and striking. Advertisers fetch highly variable prices, so we estimate $175$450.

Ansonia “Tribute”, ca. 1910. This one doesn’t appear in Ly’s book on
Ansonia clocks. It’s 9.5 inches high, with a signed
paper dial and a bright brass center dial and bezel,
holding a flat glass. The hands are Ansonia hands.
A nice cobalt blue-trimmed case with no chips or
loss of paint, and only the slightest crazing. The
signed 8-day movement is running, striking the
hours and half-hours on a flat wire gong. Signed
“Tribute” on the back. A very attractive porcelain
clock at an economical price. $250-$400.

New Haven “Occidental”.
A great looking
(reproduction?) case, 23 inches tall, holding a New
Haven 8-day time-and-strike movement, an appropriate pendulum, gilded statuettes, two good side mirrors, and all the ornamentation expected. There is a
good paper dial on a zinc pan, held in a brass bezel
with old hands; the glass is new. It is running and
striking on a cathedral gong. $250-$350.
$171
New Haven “Chime No. 6”, 1911. A 15-inch bracketstyle case finished in Antique Oak (although it
looks like mahogany) with a silvered dial and bezel,
holding a convex old glass. The four finials on top
are also metal, originally silver. The finish is original
and shows some alligatoring. There are screened
windows on either side, one of which has lost the
interior fabric cover. The movement is an 8-day
time-and-strike movement that triggers the Wilcock chime movement, playing the Westminster chimes on four
cathedral gongs on the quarter hours. The hourly strike is on a separate gong. The clock is running and striking the hours, and triggering the chime movement every 15 min. The chime movement winds
separately on the side and can be silenced. We had it cleaned ultrasonically and adjusted for tone, but may need readjustment after
delivery (easily done). Only one sale that I can find, in 2006 at
Schmitt’s, for $200. It had a poor dial. $200-$400.

$171
Seth Thomas “Eclipse”, ca. 1890’s. This is one of
the more popular Seth Thomas shelf clocks. This
one has been refinished perfectly and has a rich
walnut color, with all the trim pieces in place on
the 24-inch case. The base is old but may be a replacement. The Seth Thomas lyre-style movement
is running and striking on the hour and half-hour
and retains its Geneva winding stops. The pendulum is a replacement Eclipse bob; it has a signed
paper dial, and there is a number (1026) stamped
into the top of the case and also on a trim piece. The paper label
inside looks like a replacement. This clock has an alarm that winds
separately and strikes on a brass bell. We did not test it. The glass is
a newer replacement. These clocks sell pretty consistently for
around $200 on eBay. $200-$300.

French figural mantel clock, ca. 1880. This gilded
white metal figural on a slate base stands 22 inches
tall. The gilding is in good shape, but not perfect; you
can see some spots of wear and oxidation. The tip of
the dove’s left wing is missing and the back of the
case shows a couple of cracks. The polished slate
base is unmarred. The black slate dial used to show
the name of the dealer, but is worn off; both hands
appear to be painted replacements. There is no bezel or glass, never was, and there is no door on the back. The unsigned pendule de Paris movement has an external count wheel and

French portico clock, ca. 1875. This 19-inch Brazilian
rosewood-veneered case is in outstanding condition,
not a chip to be found, with a blond wood marquetry
on the front and top of the base and across the top
front, as well as on the four rosewood-veneered
columns. There is a fancy gilded sash and a fancy
gilded pendulum, and solid brass capitals and plinths
for the columns. The only shortcoming we can find is
18
inches tall and 15 inches wide at the base. The movement is running
reliably, striking a wire gong on the hours and keeping time. $225$350.

Brewster & Ingrahams Round Gothic (beehive), 18431852. This prolific partnership produced clocks in
Bristol and sold them out of New York. This clock
uses the “last generation” ribbed brass movement
(Ly, American Clocks, Vol. 3, p. 34) with a separate
alarm winding at the bottom of the case and striking
on a separate brass bell. The signed 8-day movement is running, keeping time, and striking on a wire
gong. The 19-inch rosewood-veneered case is in
good shape with no veneer losses except at the top rear of the
case, with a repair on the right front. The insert at the door latch is
plastic, not ivory. The painted dial, hands, and upper glass are old,
the lower frosted glass is a newer replacement. There is most of a
label on the inside backboard. $125-$225.

Ansonia “Navy” reproduction. The original “Navy” tripod
clock was marketed around 1900 and was 12.5 inches tall.
This Asian version duplicates everything on the original,
but is 14.5 inches tall. The one-day backwind is suspended
in a tripod of two oars and a grappling hook with a flag
attached. The clock hangs from a block and tackle, is
overlaid on an anchor, and surrounded by a ship’s wheel.
The base is a coiled rope, completing the maritime theme.
Even the dial is signed “Manufact_ by Ansonia Clock Co U.S.A.”. It
has a dark bronze finish, a porcelain dial, and is running, one-day, a
bit fast. Originals are hard to find, although we sold one in May for
$390. You won’t have to pay that much for this very nice reproduction. $150-$250.

Jennings Brothers Mfg. Co. Double Inkwell
Clock, ca. 1900. The last patent date on the back
of this one-day backwind clock is 1894. The back
and dial are both signed; there is a seconds hand
and a slight hairline at the bottom of the porcelain dial, behind a beveled glass. It is running,
but a bit slow. It is molded from pot metal with
an antique gold finish that shows some chipping in places, including
on the ink well lids. It is 6 inches high and 7 inches wide. One of the
inkwells shows a bit of chipping to the glass at the top opening, but
it is not evident when the lid is on. We don’t have a pen to go with
this. No comparables in the Antique Clocks Price Guide, but we
estimate $200-$400. Provenance: Tran Duy Ly collection.

Wm. Gilbert Regulator No. 14, ca. 1901. Gilbert produced this 50inch wall regulator in oak only, and this one is in fine
shape. It has a 12-inch dial trimmed in nickel with a
seconds dial inset. The outer paper dial is signed and
presumably replaced long ago, while the inset dial,
harder to replace, is yellowed. The hands are as
shown in the catalog photo (Ly, Gilbert Clocks, p.
137), there is a nickeled weight with a nickel pulley
and a bright shiny nickel pendulum bob on a wooden
stick. The glass is a replacement, the pendulum bob
might possibly be. The brass plate movement, 8-day,
time-only, with dead beat escapement and retaining
power, is running and keeping time. The backboard has been painted black, as shown in the catalog photo, and there are remnants of
a label on the back. A better-than-average example of this clock.
One sold on eBay two years ago for $1100.

Waterbury “Ottawa”, ca. 1891. This is one of the
smaller and less common Waterbury wall clocks, at
about 33 inches finial tip to finial tip with a 5-inch dial
chapter ring. It’s an 8-day, time-and-strike, hour and
half-hour on a cathedral gong. The dial board, pan,
paper dial and hands are replacements; all else looks
original. It is listed only in walnut. There are two side
glasses, and all glasses are old if not original. It is
running and keeping time. We sold the only one
listed in the Antique Clocks Price Guide back in 2004
for $1139. Times have changed, you won’t have to
pay that much for this one. We estimate $250-$400.

Ingraham “Western Union”/Sessions calendar store
clock, ca. 1911. A marriage of an Ingraham case with a
signed Sessions 8-day, time-only calendar movement
and pendulum. The 36-inch oak case has a very old,
quite possibly original finish as well as two very old
glasses. The paint on the upper glass appears to be
original. There is a new Sessions-signed paper dial
with two old hands and a newer calendar hand. The
dial board has been replaced (not visible behind upper glass) and the pendulum stick is too short, such
that the bob extends past the end of the adjuster screw. The clock
is running, keeping time, and the calendar is advancing. $200-$450.

Telechron “The Casino”, 1932-1938. From the
“Golden Age” of Telechron electric clocks, this
cobalt-mirror model (4F71) is one of a handful of
very popular and very collectable Art Deco electric
clocks. The mirror is in excellent shape; there is a
clear glass over the metal dial. There is a bit of oil staining to the
silvered dial around the hands. It sits on a molded plaskon base, has
a new cord with an old plug, and is running reliably. $175-$250.

Waterbury “Arbor” iron front, ca. 1867. This is a beautifully refurbished 8-day iron front made and sold by the Waterbury Clock Co.,
as shown on the inside green label. The gold
highlighting and black background is expertly
repainted with additional touch-up, we think, to
some of the outside flowers. The inner flowers,
below the dial, are original, with some touch-up
to losses. The entire front has been lacquered;
the paper dial is a newer replacement and the
glasses are new, as is the pendulum bob. The
hands are old replacements. It is a heavy clock, 20

Jerome & Co. “Anglo-American Round Drop”, ca. 1885. The 28-inch
case, with extensive marquetry around the bezel, door, and base
was likely made in England, with the movement being imported
from the New Haven Clock Co. As evidenced by the label, these
19
es. Backwind time and alarm, one-day, both working.
Coin slot in back (bank) with blank for label, but no
cover over base. Convex glass is scratched in the center, paper dial is clean. $50-$100.
clocks were also sold in the US. Some of the inlay is
lost at the bottom of the bezel, and the tip of the
scroll is missing on the right side; veneer has chipped
off of the bottom where it meets the wall. The dial
glass is new, the lower door glass old, the dial is old
paper, the hands are probably replacements, and the
pendulum bob is correct to New Haven clocks. The
pinned New Haven-signed movement is running and
striking appropriately. $175-$250.

$131
F. Kroeber “Brilliant”, ca. 1880. An iron-front clock, 16.75 inches tall,
painted slate gray. The catalog listing on page 230
of Ly’s book on Kroeber clocks describes this
clock as being in bronze, and shows contrasting
coloring to the bas-relief. There is an old glass
held in place by new putty, an old nickel bezel and
dial ring, an unsigned paper dial, and two replacement hands. The signed 8-day time-and-strike
movement is running, keeping time, and striking
on a nickel bell on a painted Kroeber bell mount.
The pendulum is correct to the model and there is
a Kroeber beat scale on the back wall. No label,
front or back. Given that there are additional screw holes in the
bezel that do not match the case, the dial and bezel are likely replacements. Close inspection reveals that only the high surfaces on
the case are painted, with the recessed surfaces still in a dark
bronze finish. Repainting in a brighter color would really make this
clock stand out. No sales records that we can find. $135-$250.

as indicated by the pencil notation on the back dedicating the clock to his second bride, Virginia, by Harold Strobel on Apr 14, 1978 (Harold’s first wife, Edna,
died in 1972). The oak case is in excellent shape, the
painted dial is clean and flawless, while the pendulum
bob shows some scuffing. The clock is running and
keeping time. Harold, a high school biology teacher
and an avid clock and watch collector, and Virginia
ran an antique shop near Minneapolis. Harold died in
2011, Virginia, 85, still lives in the Little Apple. You can
learn a lot with Google. Reproduction No. 2 Regulators in oak sell for an average of $400 on eBay.

Waterbury Heron, ca. 1906. Offered in oak only, a 12inch dial with pressed wood around the doors. The
dial pan was replaced when we were young and
holds a clean unsigned paper dial with original hands.
The lower glass is original, the upper glass over the
dial replaced. It has a correct Waterbury pendulum, a
signed beat scale, and a signed 8-day time-only movement, running and keeping time. It is 32 inches tall
and has a nearly complete label, behind plastic, on
the back. A penciled note says it was sold in 1911. No recent sales
on eBay or ACPG. $150-$250.

Unknown copper cast clock. No maker’s mark anywhere on this 12-inch high copper-finished clock. The
tin-can backwind movement with alarm is clearly old,
with an old yellowed paper dial, but there is a “Pat
Appl for” stamp inside the base on one side, and
“2002” on the other side. The clock is running but the
hour hand doesn’t move, so that’s a bit disappointing.
The alarm bell is the brass outer cover on the back,
with patent dates of 1888 and 1889. I suppose it’s a marriage of a
modern case with an old unsigned tin can movement. $25-$50.

Metal desk clock, ca. 1931. We can find no maker’s mark anywhere
on this clock, although it looks very much like a Lux model. It is
stamped “Made in the USA” on the dial. The spelter
case is 5.5 inches high and 6.75 inches wide, with a
light bronze finish that is chipped off in places. When
you wind it the hands spin and it rapidly unwinds, so
something is not quite right. $10-$25.

Ansonia “Regulator A”, 1906. The 32-inch refinished
golden oak case matches the Regulator A style and is
clearly old, but there is no label and the 8-day timeonly movement is stamped ‘SD’. The pendulum stick
and bob also appear to be replacements. The dial
pan is old with a new paper dial, the hands are new,
neither glass is old, and the lettering on the lower
glass is pressed on. The clock is running and keeping
time. $100-$200.

Ansonia “Repeater”, ca. 1914. Finished in Japanese
Bronze over spelter, 9.5 inches high. There is an “onoff” slide on the front under the dial and a “long alarm
-repeat alarm” switch on the back. The alarm winds
separately and strikes a bell under the clock. The paper dial says “Repeater” with the Ansonia trademark,
but the case and movement are identical to the
“Rattler” (page 55 of Ly’s book, Ansonia Clocks &
Watches). As there is no “Repeater” model shown in Ly’s book, we’ll
assume that this is a name change and not a swapped movement.
The Rattler has the same “intermittent” alarm function. The book
says a one-day movement, but we haven’t been able to get it to run.

American Clock Co. “Juno”, ca. 1867. N. M. Muller cast this 19-inch
iron front and sold it to a variety of resellers, including the American
Clock Co. ACC, in turn, bought movements from various suppliers
and sold the assembled clocks out of their New York sales room.
This clock has the best bronze finish you’ll find and appears to have
been professionally replated. It depicts a peacock
on the left and the Roman goddess Juno on the
right (commonly associated together), both placed
in a garden setting. Juno was the goddess of love
and marriage, married to her brother Jupiter, and
was the guardian of Roman women. Inside is a
Waterbury 8-day time-and-strike movement that
strikes on a wire gong. It is running and striking as
expected, but the pendulum is a bit short, suggest-

ing that it is a replacement movement. There is a good label inside,
two old glasses held in with glazier’s putty, an old paper dial and
new hands. If you’ve ever wondered what an iron front might have
looked like as it came from the factory, this might well be it. Sculptured iron fronts sell on eBay from $100-$250.

Ansonia “La Vendee”, 1904. Royal Bonn porcelain in apple green with pink and white roses on
the front, 15 inches tall. Rococo sash, beveled
glass, signed porcelain dial with no flaws. There
appear to be two well-done repairs/touch-ups to
the left front foot and to the peak over the right
foot, and there is some loss of the gold highlighting on the sides. The signed Ansonia movement
is keeping time and striking appropriately. $500-$600.

$1210
Ansonia “Archduke”, ca. 1906. A crystal regulator
with a white onyx top, columns, and base, 15.75
inches tall and 12.75 inches wide. There is a crack in
a top left side piece and some repairs to the two
left columns, but the repairs aren’t obvious. There
is a flawless signed Ansonia dial with a visible escapement, a half-hour-strike signed movement,
imitation mercury pendulum jars, and a fancy wire
gong stand. The brass case and gilt ornaments could stand a bit of
cleaning/polishing. The clock is running, striking, and keeping accurate time. This model retailed for $78 in 1906, the equivalent of
$2,052 in today’s money. That’s a lot of money to get the time, and
not a lot of these clocks were made. There is only one sale listed in
the Antique Clocks Price Guide, $1500 in 2011 at Harris. $1200-$2000.

Gilbert “Curfew” 1914. Gilbert made three bell
top models and this is the most common; it can
be found on page 180 in Ly’s book on Gilbert
clocks (these clocks were omitted from the index). It is also listed as No. 2200, as shown on a
Gilbert label on the bottom of the clock. It is
wood with a marbleized finish on the sides; that
finish shows some craquelure and fading here,
some paint spots, as well as some chipping on the left side. The
front has patterned gold incising, and there is gold trim band
around the base. The metal feet and bell top show fairly typical
wear, the bell itself is brass. The signed dial is the original celluloid,
in good shape, and the hands are correct. There is a convex glass in
the bezel. The movement is signed, running 8 days and striking the
bell on top on the hour and half-hour, and keeping time. Curfews
sell for an average of $210 on eBay. $150-$250.

Ansonia “La France”, 1914. A 13-inch dark pink-to-mauve porcelain
clock with an unusual asymmetrical design, gilt
highlights, and pink and white roses on the front. A
bit of crazing on the sides and back, but not excessive. A couple of very fine hairlines in the dial, again
not noticeable, with a French rococo sash and beveled glass. The signed movement is running and
striking on the hour and half-hour. The baseboard
has been replaced. Only one sale on the Antique

eBay.

Ansonia Brass & Battery Co. “Ruin”, 1860-1869.
Ansonia Brass & Battery was the precursor to
the better known Ansonia Brass & Copper Company, and the successor to the Ansonia Brass
Company. AB&B did not make many clocks, and
there are none listed in the Antique Clocks Price
Guide. The Ruin was also marketed by Waterbury (and perhaps others) and there is an N Muller Foundry stamp under the dial rim. The metal
front is spelter, spray-painted a reddish brown color, with some
wear. I doubt that it is original, as our iron-front collector restored
many of his iron front clocks. The brass 8-day time-and-strike movement is signed N Pomeroy, Bristol, CT, and is running and striking on
an iron bell. The dial is very old paper, with much wear, and the old
glass has been reputtied into place. Note the impressed brass AB&B
Co. label on the back. The clock is 12.5 inches high and I can’t figure
out why it’s called “Ruin”. I do note a mouse or rat on the lower
left, and a snail in the middle bottom, with vines running up the
side. I guess it’s a ruin. No sales records, but iron fronts typically
sell in the $150-$250 range.

American Clock Co. “Arbor”, 1857. This 17.5-inch
iron front was made by the F. S. Otis Foundry in
New York in 1857, as stamped into the inside of
the base. The one-day, time-and-strike movement
is unsigned, and the clock was marketed by the
American Clock Company of New York. Gosh, the
finish must be original, it is dark and shows considerable craquelure; the flowers are chipped and
worn. There is one piece of mother of pearl on
the left below the dial. The dial is very, very old
paper, the hands are old, the glasses probably replaced. It is running and keeping time, with some stickiness to the strike. There is a
good label inside. If you like them original, here you go. This would
have been a beautiful clock when new - note the restored one we
have in this auction for comparison (No. 227). ProClocks sold one in
similar condition on eBay in April for $281. $175-$300.

beveled glasses all around, jeweled pallets, a
signed porcelain dial with one small fracture at the

original 2-jar pendulum, more ornate than found on
many other models. Running, striking on the halfhour and counting the hours. No recent Antique

EN Welch Onyx mantel clock, ca. 1890. Welch did
not make many figural clocks, and I can’t find this
one in Ly’s book on Welch clocks; it may be a special order. Welch did make some marble and onyx
mantel clocks, and a similar model is found on
page 314, including the Patti movement and open
escapement found here. I can’t determine who is
posed sitting on top and couldn’t find the same or
21
foundry stamp. The movement is signed New Haven
and is running, 8 days, and striking on a wire gong.
The upper glass is old, held in by old but not original
putty, the lower glass newer. The paper dial is an old
replacement, the hands are old. A good label inside,
from an uncommon maker; only 10 BB&C Co. listings
in the Antique Clocks Price Guide. Sculptured iron
fronts like this retail on eBay for $100-$250.
a similar figure offered by other clock makers. He holds a cane and
a book or satchel, and still has a most of his gilt coating. Do you
know what famous historical figure it is? The onyx case has suffered
some cracks and repairs, as is typical of these heavy but fragile cases. The porcelain dial is signed and is flawless. The 8-day Patti
movement is running, striking on the hour and half-hour. There is a
brass button foot missing off the back right which will need to be
replaced for it to sit level, and the back cover is missing. The clock
with statue on top is 16.25 inches tall and 11 inches wide. $300-$400.

Ansonia “Surrey”, 1910. Advertised with a “Colonial
Brass Finish”, this all metal clock stands 10.5 inches
high with a 4-inch brass dial. The finish is due for
some polish, but this clock is in better condition than
most clocks you see like this, where the finish has
been polished down to the copper base. The dial
numbering is also better than typical. It is running,
with a signed round movement, 8 days with a halfhour strike on a cathedral gong. The strike arm needs adjustment
to strike the gong. A beveled glass in the bezel. No sales records
for this clock, and no recent sales records for either of the two other clocks in this series (Blenheim and Hampshire; Ly, Ansonia Clocks
and Watches, p. 854). We estimate $569-$200.

Terry & Andrews gothic iron front, 1850-1854. The
very dark label shows that this clock was made in
Ansonia, Conn. after Theodore Terry and Franklin
Andrews moved their business to Ansonia (Derby)
to form a new business with Anson Phelps, the
original Ansonia Clock Company. The factory
burned and the business ended in 1854. The repoussé brass dial reads “Ansonia Clock Co. Ansonia, CT, USA” and is found on a number of T&A
clocks from this period of their partnership. The
gold decorative paint is still in good shape and all
the MOP appears to be present. Both glasses are old, the hands
may be replacements. The 8-day movement is signed Terry & Andrews, Bristol, CT, running, keeping time, and striking on a wire
gong. The iron case is 15.5 inches tall, and heavy. No matching examples in the Antique Clocks Price Guide, but similar clocks with
paper dials sell on eBay for over $200. $135-$250.

Guilmet Mystery clock, ca. 1890. A black marble
base, 9 inches by 8 inches, on gilded metal feet with
gold-filled incising in front; lion’s head handles on
either side; a black marble dial with gold numerals
behind a brass rococo sash and thick beveled glass.
The robed girl stature stands 14 inches tall and holds
the beveled glass pendulum in her left hand; the
spelter casting has a dark green patina with a gold
belt and earrings. The serial numbers match on the
base and statue (446). The clock stands 24 inches
tall and weighs 34 lb. There are no chips to the polished marble base; there is an inside chip to the
glass at the hinge. The statue’s left upper arm shows several partial
stress fractures from the back and top. The movement is signed
Breveté GLT (Guilmet) and is running, at least 8 days, and striking on
the hour and half-hour on a steel bell. It is a bit sensitive to the orientation of the statue on the base but is easily adjusted, as is the
pendulum length to adjust the beat. A fascinating clock when you
see it run, as the statue rocks imperceptibly back and forth. Guilmet
Mystery clocks consistently sell between $4000 and $6000 at East
Coast auction houses; Harris sold a similar clock in 2011 for $5500.
Provenance: Tran Duy Ly collection.

Chelsea Clock Co. “No. 1 Pendulum”, 1915-1919. A
clock designed for schools, offices, and public
buildings, according to the Chelsea catalog. The 34
-inch case is quarter-sawn oak with a medium stain,
the 12-inch dial repainted and signed, the hands
correct, either repainted or replacements. The
upper glass looks like a replacement, the old lower
glass has been painted in Howard colors, but originally was clear. The 8-day time-only movement,
with “cut, polished steel pinions, recoil escapement and extra heavy plates” is signed and carries
the serial number 11234. It is driven by an old iron
weight (numbered ‘70’, this clock wants to be an E. Howard clock)
that falls behind a replacement weight shield. There is no label,
inside or back. There should be a pendulum tie-down, but it is gone.
The clock is running and keeping excellent time. The average sale
price for oak versions of this clock on eBay is $878. $850-$1200.

Wm. Gilbert “Caliope”, ca. 1885. This is one of a handful of Gilbert
clocks that stand a cut above the average Victorian parlor clock.
The walnut case is 24.5 inches tall with a beautiful burl walnut veneer on the door frame and elaborately carved
side arms and crest. The door glass is old but the
decorative pattern shows very little wear; the dial
is newer glossy paper. The pendulum is cut glass,
normally seen on the Amphion and a few other
high-end Gilbert clocks. The 8-day, time-and-strike
movement is signed and running easily, striking on
a cathedral gong. There is a label on the back.
This case was also used by Kroeber on the “5th
Avenue”. Calliope (spelled with two ‘l’s) was the
Greek muse of poetry, and inspired Homer. Only

corrosion. It is running, 1 day, and keeping

alarm works, as the handle to wind the alarm is missing. The Lux
“Juliet” has a nickel case on two peg legs and a plastic cover over
the dial that is worn and scratched. It is not running, and the handle
to wind the alarm is missing; it is from the 1960’s. Two clocks for

Wm. Gilbert No. 3022/University store regulator, ca. 1929. Advertised with a “Flat mahogany finish” as seen here, and as described in
Ly’s book on Gilbert clocks, page 160. The case dimensions (34” x
17.5”) more closely match the University model
(page 153), as does the lower glass. Note that the
base is a rough replacement. Both glasses are very
old and likely original to the clock, with the original
paint and lettering, touched up slightly; both are
better than one typically sees. The dial is thick
glossy paper, with some particulate foxing; the
hands are Gilbert issue. The pendulum bob is worn
and the stick has been shortened. The Gilbert movement, with steel frames, is running and keeping
time, striking a wire gong on the hour and half-hour.
Store clocks in decent condition like this one retail for $200-$350.

Seth Thomas Column & Cornice, 1850-1865. This Empire sleigh-front
clock is 32.5 inches high with near perfect rosewood veneer all
around, two original matching glasses in very good condition, a
replacement dial and old and appropriate hands. There are some
veneer repairs on the top edge of the cornice, a
few missing pieces in the corners, and I think the
base edge has been re-veneered all around. The
columns are mock turtle shell in nice shape and
the capitals and plinths are gold leaf, unrestored.
There is most of a good Plymouth Hollow label
inside, and the typical 8-day time-and-strike
movement is signed, Seth Thomas, Plymouth
Hollow, and has the American eagle imprint. It is
running and striking appropriately, with an old
bob and two old/original 8-day iron weights.
The glass over the dial is old and I don’t think any
of the glasses has ever been replaced. Other than the dial, this
clock is all original and is an outstanding example of early ST Empire
clock. One of the best we have offered in a while. $300-$500.

metal is original, and shows some staining along the
right side; the hands are original. The glasses may
be replacements; the catalog photo shows
“Regulator” stenciled on the lower glass. The repainted spelter pendulum bob is Ingraham issue,
and the 8-day time-only signed movement is running
and keeping time. Comes with a signed Ingraham
key. $200-$400.

Nicholas Muller & Sons “Indian Hunter”, ca. 1870’s. Like the one we
sold in January of this year, this iron-front clock has
been refinished to highlight the intricate detail of
the casting. The statue of a Native American hunting with a bow and his trusty German shepherd (!) is
taken from the life-size statue in New York’s Central
Park by John Quincy Adams Ward, “the dean of
American sculptors”. The movement in this clock is
a signed Waterbury 8-day, time-and-strike brass
movement that is running and keeping time, striking
the hours on a brass bell. The dial is porcelain with a
hairline between the II and III, and chips around the
winding ports; the hands are fancy. The bow is a replacement.
There is a faint label on the back which represents a reseller in New
York. As noted, we sold one of these in January of this year for
$850, and it lacked the bow and the porcelain dial, and an unrefinished one sold on eBay last year for something under $700.
Signed key included. $650-$850.

Elisha Manross Empire, 1843-1853. If you have a copy of Forestville
Clockmakers by Roberts and Taylor the cover shows a similar Manross
clock with this unusual carved fish splat. Manross worked in several
partnerships prior to starting his own business in
1843, which he ran until bankruptcy intervened,
two years before his death in 1856. The mahogany
veneer on this 38.5-inch clock is in excellent shape.
Both columns are veneered as well, with some
chips showing on the left column. The fish splat is
original and remarkable. The feet appear to be
replacements and the middle and lower glasses
are both repainted on new glass. The dial glass is
old, as are the metal dial and hands. The brass 8day, time-and-strike weight-driven movement is
unsigned, there are two new weights and an old
pendulum bob. A good label on the backboard. The clock is running reliably and striking on a wire gong. Both key escutcheons are
missing and there is no key; I would guess the lower door has been
rebuilt, with the original veneer. $300-$500.

Seth Thomas “Berkley”, 1908. A rich mahogany
case, 11.5 inches high, with gold trimmings
(repainted), a porcelain dial, and four metal
feet. The glass is flat but should be beveled, the
only shortcoming I can find. The clock and
movement are shown on pages 719 and 721 of
Vol. 2 of Ly’s new books on Seth Thomas clocks.
The type 89C 8-day movement is running and
keeping time, striking a bell on the half-hour and
a cathedral gong on the hour. This clock should be considered a
‘city series’ clock, as it was named after a town in Massachusetts.

E.N. Welch Drop Octagon calendar, ca. 1889. A
24.5-inch case with the original 12-inch painted
metal dial, period hands, a new upper glass and an
old lower glass. The signed movement, 8-day time
only with calendar and an old pendulum bob is
running, keeping time, and the calendar is advanc-
23
ment with brass plates front and back that I cannot find illustrated
for any of his other clocks. It is unsigned, as is typical for Terry. SB
Terry more commonly made movements with a brass blackplate
only; the large escape wheel and large opening in the dial to view
the movement is characteristic of many of his clocks. Unfortunately, I can’t get this movement to run for more than a short while, but
I think it is probably only a 30-hour, as many of his clocks were. The
strike side also needs adjustment, as the stop arm is not catching
the gearing and it strikes continually until the weight reaches the
bottom. Note the unusual weights, thin so as to fit in the 3-inch
deep case. A similar case, with rounded sides and a large opening in
the dial can be seen on page 164 of Distin & Bishop, The American
Clock. Both glasses are old, the upper glass never having been out of
the door, and the mahogany veneer is in good shape, with a few
edge chips at the top and bottom. The escutcheon is ivory, and of
course the lower glass has a replacement lithograph behind it of
President US Grant’s family. You can have it reverse painted as it
should be. There is no label. The opening in the back of the case
allows you to advance the strike.

Hiram Hunt (Boardman & Wells) carved column &
splat shelf clock, 1832-1843. What a great example
of a better quality Connecticut shelf clock – note
the carved columns and carved eagle splat, and
the alarm mechanism, not often found on wooden
works clocks. The tablet was repainted by Tom
Moberg; both glasses are old, the dial glass appears to have never been out of the door. The
wooden dial is no doubt original as well, as are the
hands. The lock escutcheon is plastic, the only
shortcoming. The 30-hour movement has been
professionally overhauled and is running and counting the hours on
the wire gong; the alarm strikes on the bell on top of the case.
There are three old weights (the heavier weight on the strike side)
and an old pendulum bob. The clock stands 32.5 inches tall. $350$500.

Waterbury “Shelf” clock, ca. 1860. The case style
was patented by C. Jerome in 1857 and was manufactured by Waterbury with a signed Jerome 30hour, weight-driven movement. There is a label on
the inside of the door glass divider “Patented April
1857” attesting to the Jerome claim on the case.
Both glasses are old and have been rebacked; the
dial is an old glossy paper replacement. There is a
good label inside, with two 30-hour weights and an
old bob. The rosewood case stands 26.75 inches high with no missing veneer, but a couple of small side-trim pieces are missing from
the top of the right chimney cap. The movement is running and
striking as expected on an old wire gong. A nice looking clock, don’t
you think? $250-$400.

Boardman & Wells column & splat shelf clock, 1832-1843. Chauncey
Boardman and Joseph Wells were one of the largest makers of
wooden works shelf clocks during this period, and
this is a typical example. This 32-inch case has
good mahogany veneer all around, an old wooden dial in good shape, two old and correct-toperiod hands, and old glasses top and bottom;
the upper glass does not appear to have ever
been out of the door, the lower glass has been
repainted. The columns and splat also have been
repainted. There is a good label inside and two
old 30-hour weights, along with an old pendulum
bob, a winder, and a key that operates the door.
The wooden 30-hour movement has some missing teeth on the
strike side great wheel and so does not strike correctly (all the other
strike gears look fine, and can be turned by hand). The time train is
running correctly, and should you wish to wind it every day or so it
will keep good time. $250-$400.

Chelsea Clock Co. art deco desk clock, 1940-1944.
This 5-inch high swivel-mounted desk clock is
housed in a highly polished bronze case and
stand, weighing over 4 lb. There is some wear
and oxidation to the metal, including a back corner of the top of the case. The dial is metal behind a beveled glass. The backwind movement, signed “Chelsea

serial number (277277) puts its date of manufacture between 1940
and 1944. A great art deco look. $150-$250.

Waterbury “Daunt” dresser clock, 1914. A 7-inch
high easel clock made of spelter or brass (can’t be
sure which it is here), originally with Rich Roman
Gold Plating, now showing some wear, and a 2.5inch celluloid dial, time only, one day backwind. The
dial is yellowed, the minute hand is loose, the knob
to set the time on the back is missing, and the clock only runs for a
short while. Well, you can’t expect too much from a 100-year old
novelty clock. Signed on the back and on the dial. $50-$100.

Chelsea Clock Co. art deco desk clock for Tiffany,

edge on this one. Signed movement with serial
number 277245.

Silas B. Terry “round-front”, ca. 1840. Silas Burnham Terry, son of
Eli Terry, produced a number of interesting brass
clock movements but was never a very successful
clock manufacturer. The distinctive paper-overwood slat dial on this clock can be found on some
of his other clocks from this period; if you have
Ball’s book American Shelf and Wall Clocks you
can see an example on page 85. Note that the
location is “Terry’s Ville”, later Terryville, formerly
East Plymouth. This clock has an unusual move-

Seth Thomas “Como”, 1921. A mahogany cabinet
with an inlaid wood border, 5.25 inches tall, with a
silvered dial and an 8-day, 4-jewel backwind movement #103. Case is good, brass bezel shows some
wear and some scratches to dial. Convex glass is
beveled. Clock is running and keeping pretty good
time. Nice. $50-$100.

W. Batty & Sons, Manchester, English bracket
clock, ca. 1900. A 16.5-inch oak case with an
arched top and carved inset. The gold and silver
dial has a fast/slow adjustment and chime/silent
setting, with fancy cut hands and the manufacturers tag at the bottom. There is some slight wear
to the dial. The sides have scrolled cutouts
backed with red fabric. The unsigned brass movement strikes two cathedral gongs on the quarter
hours and is running and keeping time. There are three keys, one to
wind, one to lock the front door and one for the back door. A service record on the back door, dating to 1911. $1200-$1500.

Franklin-Morse parlor calendar clock, ca. 1885. Franklin and Morse
obtained a patent for their calendar mechanism in 1883 and purchased shelf and wall clocks from E.N. Welch. This case style appears to have been made exclusively for Franklin-Morse, and can be seen on page 44 of Ly’s
book Calendar Clocks, where the calendar
movement and back labels are also shown. The
22.5-inch case is either walnut or cherry (seems
more like cherry), with a bit of a glossy overcoat. All the ornamentation is present; the glass
is old, and as shown in the Ly photo. The dial is
worn paper with red calendar dates. The hands
are correct but may be replacements, the calendar hand is not correct and should be a simple
straight calendar hand. Replacements are available from TimeSavers. The clock strikes the hours and half-hours on a cathedral gong.
The 8-day Welch-signed movement is running and keeping time.
Welch provided a glass insert pendulum originally but this one is
labeled “Eclipse” and probably a replacement; easy to replace.
Note the three labels on the back preserved behind a Plexiglas
sheet. Can only find one Antique Clocks Price Guide sales record, at
Schmitt’s in 2007 for $850, and a couple of recent eBay sales for
$650 and $382. $400-$700.

New Hampshire stenciled mirror clock, ca. 1825. You may have seen
the article in the October, 2011 issue of the Watch & Clock Bulletin
on this clock; you can read Snowden Taylor’s
analysis and see many more pictures of this very
unusual time, strike, and alarm New Hampshire
mirror clock here. The maker of this clock is unknown, but there are several possibilities including Simon Willard & Son, John Sawin, John Stowell, and Eliphalet Horne. The stenciling on the
columns is quite uncommon, as is the presence
of an alarm. The alarm on this clock has not been
seen before, and is wound by pulling up the
weight by hand in the right channel. The strike
chain is also unusual in that it has two flys. All in
all this is a very unusual and very rare, possibly
experimental mirror clock from the early 1800s. The 31.75-inch by 16
-inch case is in excellent condition; the stenciling is still clear and
there is only a small piece of mahogany veneer missing from the
lower left back side; the finish is all original. The mirror is almost
certainly original, backed by a wood sheet, and the interior has been
red-washed. The upper glass is old but has been expertly repainted,
as has the metal dial. The hands are old and appropriate. There are
two long rectangular spelter weights, with the strike weight having
been cut lengthwise, presumably to reduce the force and, along
with the second fly, slow the bell-strike. There is a smaller weight
for the alarm. It did not come with a winder, but we found one that
fits. The clock will run, but not reliably, and we did not test the
alarm. We will include some printed information on this clock and a
previous owner, Alfred C. Scott, President of NAWCC from 19591961. $1800-$3000.

Seth Thomas “Cottage J”, ca. 1886. A 9.5-inch rosewood-veneered case in excellent condition, original
glass and door handle, a replacement metal dial and
new hands. The 30-hour J-type movement is running strongly and striking on the iron bell. Old brass
bob and a replacement key. The bezel is wood and
should be gold leaf, but has been painted. It’s due
for a repaint, or regilding. This clock is not common; I can’t find a sales record on the Antique
Clocks Price Guide or on eBay. If you collect Seth Thomas cottage
clocks (there are at least 25, with movements A through T) I’ll bet
you need this one. See page 225 of Ly’s Vol. 1 of Seth Thomas
Clocks and Movements, 7rd edition. $594-$250.

Southern Clock Co. OG, ca. 1880. The Southern
Clock Co. was located in Andersonville, SC and
purchased cases and movements from various
Connecticut manufacturers, including New Haven
and Gilbert. This is clearly a New Haven case and
glass, and has a signed New Haven 8-day, timeand-strike spring-driven movement and New Haven fancy brass bob. Evidently Southerners favored Southern businesses (both before and after
the War of Northern Aggression), and Connecticut firms were more than happy to supply clocks to the various resellers in the South. This case is 26 inches tall with a nice flame mahogany veneer on the front; the sides and top are stained hardwood. There are some noticeable missing segments of veneer on
the front edge (now stained to match the mahogany), and some
less noticeable veneer repairs on the edging. The original tablet has
some losses but the image still shows well and has some nice coloring. The upper glass is a newer replacement, as is the metal dial.
There is most of the label left inside. The clock is running robustly
and keeping time. Few sales of Southern Clock Co. clocks, they did
not appear to be a big Southern retailer, and Andersonville SC cannot be found in Google Maps. We estimate $150-$250.

J. Dewey New Hampshire mirror clock, ca. 1830-1831. Jeremiah Dewey worked out of Chelsea Vermont as a clock, gold,
and silver smith. There are two listings in the Antique Clocks Price Guide for Dewey clocks, one of
which is very similar to this one and sold at Cottone
in 2001 for $1700. This clock is 40 inches long with
mahogany broken arch scrollwork at the top and
base, the original mirror in nice shape (very wavy
but very bright), and a Moberg-repainted dial glass.
There may have been brass urn finials on the top
corners originally. The columns appear to have
been repainted but the gilding appears original,
with some losses across the bottom. There is goldpainted trim on the door frame. The signed dial
was probably repainted and is labeled “No. 12”. It
has a time-only weight-driven movement that is
running, but not reliably, driven by a 2.5-lb iron weight. A winder is
25
the original finish on the dial (there was never a glass or bezel). The
brass, time-only movement is driven by an 11-lb
iron weight with a 12-inch pendulum; note that
the minute hand is counterweighted and rotates
counterclockwise behind the movement. The
brass lever at the bottom allows you to start the
pendulum swinging should it wind down. The
clock is running easily and is ready to occupy a
commanding position in your home. Due to its
size you might wish to talk to us about delivery
options. There are no sales records for this or similar clocks in the
Antique Clocks Price Guide. $6000-$10,000.

Curtis & Dunning banjo, 1821-1827. Lemuel Curtis
and Joseph Nye Dunning were partners from 18131827, first in Concord, MA and later in Burlington, VT
making banjo, lyre and girandole clocks. This 34-inch
mahogany-case clock is gilt-trimmed (now very
dark) with brass side brackets and bezel and a wood
top finial, formerly gilded. Both glasses were repainted by Tom Moberg, the lower glass showing
two girls flying a kite with a couple of sheep. The
glass over the dial is not original. The heavy metal
dial has the original paint with just a trace of the
signature which likely read “Warranted by Curtis &
Dunning”. The hands are original and characteristic
of Lemuel Curtis. The movement is most unusual;
note that it has the usual keystone opening pendulum hanger, but
also has several unused mounting holes on the left (strike) side;
there is a corresponding opening in the dial to wind the missing
strike train. A similar movement has been seen in other Curtis and
Dunning clocks, including lyre clocks that use this movement to
strike on a piano wire strung from upper left to lower right. There is
no evidence that piano wire mounts were ever in this clock, and it is
perhaps more likely that the strike chain struck a bell mounted over
the movement – note the carved out space above the movement.
We will include some papers, including correspondence and NAWCC
Bulletin reprints from 1954 and 1967 that discuss similar clocks by
Curtis. Other Curtis clocks have been found where the strike chain
was missing, suggesting that his strike mechanism was unreliable.
This clock will run, but the crutch mount to the anchor is loose and
will need to be secured for the clock to run reliably. The pendulum
swings very close to the front gears that move the hands, and the
weight shield, so proper hanging will be essential. Another rare and
unusual clock from our early American collector/consignor. Only
one similar sale in the Antique Clocks Price Guide; $2500 at Schmitt’s
in 2014. $2500-$4500.

Birge & Fuller “wagon spring” candlestick double steeple clock, ca.
1847. A 26-inch case veneered with mahogany; I see only one significant repair on the top left, and it blends in well. The candlesticks
are in practically perfect shape and may be replacements, but our repair guy doesn’t think so.
The lower door is original and the upper door
was repainted by Mr. Moberg. He also touched
up the lower door. All glasses are old. The metal
dial is presumably original and matches the dial
shown in Ly’s American Clocks, Vol. 3, page 215.
Note the large opening for viewing the brass
movement. The hands are period replacements.
The 8-day movement is signed and also matches
the movement shown in American Clocks. One
of the wagon spring (Accelerating Lever Spring)
chains broke and has been replaced with heavy
gauge wire. We were not able to locate a replacement chain. The
clock is running and keeping time. Beautifully. Candlesticks are
considerably less common than cone finial double steeples and prices vary with condition, from $1500 to $3700 at East Coast auction
houses in recent years.

gilt bronze base with alabaster inserts. The girl is

several horns next to her, cast in a rich bronze
finish. The clock has a porcelain dial, no glass or
bezel. There are two very faint hairlines in the
dial, too faint to show in our photo. Original French Breguet hands.
The movement is signed and strikes the bell on the half-hour and
counts the hours. It is running and keeping time. $500-$1000.

George Hatch Regulator No. 5, ca. 1877. A 32-inch
mahogany case with most of the grain painting
intact (some loss on the bezel), a very nice lower
glass (rebacked if not repainted), an old upper
glass, an old pendulum bob and stick, and an unsigned brass, time-only, 8-day movement with a
proper iron weight. The way the pendulum bob
hooks on to the end of the stick is characteristic of
George Hatch clocks and the case matches the
Hatch Regulator No. 5 in shape and size, but the
glass is not a match. The dial has been repainted,
the hands are old if not original. The weight fell through the bottom long ago and the case has been nicely repaired. It’s a lovely
clock but I can’t get it to run for more than a few minutes. Perhaps
you can. Includes a winder. $1200-$2000.

National Calendar Clock Co. OG calendar, ca. 1890. The NCCCo.
(Brooklyn, NY) assembled or sold calendar clocks manufactured by
the New Haven Clock Co. The most common
clock they sold is the Fashion model sold by a
number of retailers. This clock is perhaps the
least common; there are no sales records for this
model in the Antique Clocks Price Guide. The
clock, movement, and calendar mechanism are
shown on page 203 of Ly’s book Calendar Clocks.
This is an 8-day time-and-half-hour strike brass
spring-driven movement signed by the New Haven Clock Co. It is running and keeping time, and
the calendar is advancing. The case is 26 inches
high, the front veneered in rosewood, and I think the outer edge

clearly of Jerome Clock Co. origin, a 30-hour OG case as indicated by
the inverted label inside. Note the covered weight pulley openings
on top – both covers appear to be factory installed (and of course
there are no pulleys or weights). I can find no evidence that the
case and backboard are not original to this clock; there are no unused holes in the backboard, top or bottom, inside or out. The glass
is old, possibly original, the black paper dials and gold hands are
original, and the gold numerals on the time and calendar dials have

out from the case to wind. It is not signed anywhere but I
would guess it is German made. Very old, probably late
1800’s early 1900’s. $25-$50.

Rare, miniature, “Dickory Dickory Dock Clock”, designed
by Elmer Dungan, several years after the name of Dungan & Klump had disappeared from the Philadelphia business directory. He designed it because his son Warren
felt the Mouse Clock was suited for use as an advertising
and sales promotion gift. Model V, only 15.5 inches high,
uses a round dial and the mouse rises slowly each sixty
minute period and drops every hour. The case is made of
oak and stained. Printed on the left front is “Dickory Dickory Dock,
and on the right side, “The Mouse Ran Up The Clock”. The one day
movement by Sessions Clock Co. is similar to an alarm clock movement. It is running and there is no strike. There is a complete paper
label on the back. The only miniatures ever produced were a small
test lot, made by the Sessions Clock Company to determine the
ultimate sales potential. The test lot failed and the project was
dropped before it ever got off the ground. It was by far the least
expensive of the Dickory Dickory Dock Clocks to produce, and today
it is the rarest. Reference: NAWCC Bulletin Supplement No. 4. We
have only had one other and it sold for over $2500. $1500-$2500.

Bradley & Hubbard, “Sambo”, ca 1860. Blinking eye
novelty clock with a 30 hour spring driven movement.
The 16 inch high iron case is all original including the
paint. The paint losses are minimal and considering its
age you might call it exceptional. The old dial has
darkened but there is no fading of the black numerals
and time track. The time only movement winds on the
front between the 3 and 4, and is running. B&H used movements
bought from Waterbury, Pomeroy, and other manufacturers. This
collector serviced all his clock movements as he acquired the clocks,
put them in good running condition, but rarely if ever wound them
thereafter. You may find a more beautiful example, one that has
been restored, but you will not find one more original in this condition. $1500-$2500.

New Haven Clock Co. monkey on top of clock. Eyes and
jaw moves with the one day backwind movement ticking. They are not moving as much as one would expect,
however as watched it for a while it seemed to be moving better. I know these clock have not been wound in
20-30 years. In a short time I already see movement is
better. Metal case is 10 inches high, paint is not the
greatest. Excellent beveled glass and dial. Dial signed
two places and hands are original. Movement is running. $150-$300.

“Roasting Jack, Meat Jack, or Pot Turner”, all the same and
used in England as early as the 1400’s. The modern day
roasting jack was invented by Simon Willard around 1784. He
called it a “cooking jack”. He was granted exclusive rights
for five years to make the jacks. They were of brass, which
was scarce at that time. He had a working relationship with
Paul Revere to sell them. They continued to be made by
other companies well into the 18th century. The one we are selling is
signed on the front just below the movement winding arbor, and it
says, “John Linwood / Warranted”. It is signed on the bottom,
“Warranted / 1”. It is clean and polished and has one dent. It is 14
inches tall and functioning properly. We have sold a half dozen or so
over the years so they are not extremely rare, although I was surprised how many folks made them. What we sometimes fail to remember is how they cooked their food in the 1700’s, 1800’s, and
even up in the 1900’s. $300-$500.

base, and a tin can holding the one day backwind movement. The clock is running. A candle sits between the
movement and the clock dial, illuminating it at night so
30
by 2.25 inches high. Inside the box is a battery holder and connector
wires to a light bulb that is behind the clock dial.
Similar clocks had two dials or made to point to the
ceiling at night. There is a glass over the dial. I did
not test the clock with batteries but did wind the
movement. It has a plunger wire out the back for
you to turn the light on and off. The bottom board
slides out to access the batteries. $150-$250.

how the case is signed on the back. Th3e brass
piece is 8.5 inches wide and 7 inches high. Easel

movement has five pieces of glass and a complete

age is unknown but I would assume post WWII. $25-$50.

out to access the batteries. Movement is running, did
not insert batteries to test the light bulb. $100-$200.

back over the movement. The 12 inch high oak case

Junghans, Germany, acrobat automaton in excellent condition, ca
1900. Rarely seen for sale anywhere we were fortunate to have two
recently, May 2015 auction #252, and this example. The only significant difference is the uniform worn by the acrobat. The oak case is
15 inches tall, original and complete. The stage scene
has original paint and the Junghans trademark “J” in
the bottom right of the stage scene. The acrobat has
good paint but is missing his foot and shoe. The sash
has a flat glass over the dial and hands. The 30 hour
movement is running and the acrobat goes thru his
routine. A separate spring and lever activates the
acrobat. The nickel movement is clean and is signed.
The winding key is in a slot on the hinged door. If you
bid too low in the May auction, this one may be your last chance to
own one of these rare automatons. $1000-$1500.

Dial is probably a replacement but everything else

correct. It is 9 inches high. Ly-Welch, pages 68-75. $150-$300.

“Bradley & Hubbard / Patent Applied For 1856 / PCF”, copied from
the base of this cast iron blinking eye clock named,
“Continental”, which they made for the Waterbury
Clock Co. ca 1857. The paint on this figure is original
but much has worn off particularly on the upper half
of the figure. The base is so nice I must speculate that
it was repainted. The figure is 16 inches tall, retains all
its original parts including the dial, hands, glass, bezel
and dial ring. The 30 hour time only movement is
running and eyes are blinking, up and down. These
clocks, even when repainted and restored, or in bad
condition not restored, have been selling upwards of $2500. LyWaterbury, page 78. $1500-$2000.

Kal-Klok, clock, alarm, and calendar. Beige colored

and Klok stands for Clock. Winding keys for the alarm,
alarm set, time set, hand set, and speed up slow down
knobs, are all on the top. The one we had in the May 2015 auction

three pieces. The silver base contains the bottom wind
one day movement and the black hand pointer. Note
the pointer is loosely inserted in a pocket on the case
side. That little piece of metal is also signed. Note
there is a handle on the base for carrying the clock from room to
room. Sitting on the top of the silver base is a Kerosene lamp. You
light it at night to illuminate the milk glass globe to easily tell the
time. The globe is dirty and has a dirty hairline that would easily
disappear if cleaned. The clock movement is running. I dare not test
the lamp. $100-$200.

or grime and unreadable. It has a very nice porcelain
dial with slow fast adjuster and pair of spade hands.
Hinged bezel with flat glass covers the dial. The one
day brass movement is running. I thought at first it
was a “Tucker Bronze” clock but I understand they
were 18 inches tall and did not have porcelain dials.
Maker therefore is unknown as nothing is signed. $50-$100.
steeple clock. Mahogany case is 20 inches tall, complete
with original door knob, excellent veneer all over, original painted glass with little or no paint loss. Partial label
on the back is very dark. Inside is the 8 day movement
that is running and striking a silver bell. It also has an
alarm movement and setting ring in the dial center. The
dial has some paint chips, and those are visible in the

Ansonia Clock Co. Royal Bonn case, “LaScarpe”, ca

come thru our auctions but don’t believe I have ever
seen this model. The case is 11.25 inches tall and decorated with pink, yellow, rose colored flowers and
greens and pinks on the case edges and sides. The
dial is a plastic replacement, hands appear to be correct, and there
is a flat glass in the sash. The Royal Bonn insignia and model name
“La Scarpe” were fired into the clay on the back of the case. It has

Ansonia Clock Co. porcelain case, model “Wire”, ca 1904. They made
a series of clocks with names beginning with “W”, must be 20 or
more, all the same size and similar shapes. The name on the back
was fired in the kiln so has always been there, but is not pictured in
Ly-Ansonia. Not unusual for I have seen many clocks not pictured in
clock catalogs. The case is 11 inches tall, primarily
green tones with gold highlights and painted
flowers front and sides. Beveled glass in the sash,
signed one piece porcelain dial with hairlines at
the bottom, and replaced hands. No metal cover
over the back. Signed 8 day movement is running
and striking half hours on a coil gong. $150-$250.

E. Ingraham & Co. mantel clock, the model they called,
“Venetian No.3”. Apparently they made five sizes of this
model, this clock being 15.5 inches high, the middle of the
five. The rosewood veneered case is not bad considering
it is almost 150 years old. I see a few tiny chips on the top
edge. It has an original painted glass, replaced paper dial,
excellent label inside, alarm movement, coil gong and an 8 day time
and striking movement that is running. Ly-Ingraham, page 265. $25$50.

was attractively designed, using the lions head at
the top and sea varmits down the sides. Brightly
painted flowers on the front and sides, gold highlights, and primarily green finish overall with a tint
of blue. The case is roughly 11.5 inches high and
wide. Beveled glass, two piece signed porcelain
dial, correct hands, and nice open escapement in
the center, all are original and very nice. The metal back cover is
missing. Royal Bonn insignia and clock name on the back. Inside is
the signed 8 day movement that is running and striking half hours

Seth Thomas hanging clock, “Willow”, ca 1928. ST
described it as a “Round white enamel case with
authentic Old English designs”. It looks like Oriental
designs to me and is identical to the “Willow” clock
pictured in Ly-Seth Thomas #1122. Case is worn and
has many small paint chips. It has an 8 day pendulum
movement, time only, and is running. $25-$50.

Metal shelf clock. Appears to be brass/bronze covered with black
paint. Stands about 12 inches tall and is complete. Appears to be a

heavy cast metal ornaments all around. It is not visibly
signed and I did not disassemble to look at the movement. I assume it to be German. The movement is double wind, time only, and running. It surely runs 8 day,
maybe 15, I did not test for that. The case is about 18
inches by 12 inches, complete and original. It is dirty and
nothing has been cleaned or polished. $150-$300.

Arcade Kicker and Catcher Football Game. This is a
ca 1930’s game behind a glass front panel, with a
colorful kicker and catcher each wearing vintage
1930’s football attire. The machine takes dimes. Insert a dime and metal pin balls are released to the
kicker who punts them one by one to the catcher.
Before the ball gets to the catcher it passes thru
many metal pegs. The machine is in good working
order. It is 19 inches high. The case and figures inside the case have
good paint. Our research on internet sales of this exact item revealed sales from $500 to near $1000. Some machines require a
penny, this one requires a dime to play. Key locking back door, with
key, to access the movement and dimes. $500-$1000.

$200
“3 JACKS” arcade casino gambling machine. The case is made of
cast aluminum and oak and probably dates about 1950-1970, although some date back to 1910. I checked this machine on the internet and see that it may have been made by “Charles Fey & Sons”, or
“Fields”. I cannot find a makers name on the machine anywhere
although Fey and Fields make identical machines. The three trays near the bottom would
normally be full of dimes. You insert a dime on
the side, turn the handle slowly and a spring
throws the dime up and it descends between
metal pins until it hopefully goes into one of
the three slots. I assume you have to get a coin
in all 3 slots (3 Jacks) before you win something, more dimes. If it misses one of the 3
slots it falls to the bottom. The machine is in
excellent condition. It is 18 inches high and 13 inches wide at the
base. Sales on EBay and auctions appear to be in the $300-$500
range.

would think it could be adjusted to regulate the

machine is 16 inches tall, clean with good paint, and
complete. Key and lock on the front to access the
pennies and replenish the goodies. $100-$200.

Old gumball machine, takes either 1c or 5c coin. 1c gets
you one gumball, 5c gets you five. It has a full label but
does not disclose a maker per se, but says,
“Northwestern Merchandiser”. The operating parts are
a little rusty but are working and dispensing gumballs.
There are two locks and two keys. It has a tiny padlock
holding the metal lid to the glass top. Keeps little hands
out of the gumballs. It has another lock on the base allowing you to access the coins. It is 16 inches tall. If you buy it I recommend you get a fresh supply of gumballs. $100-$200.

high. The metal lid on top has a lock and key. There
should be a lock on the base to protect the pennies but

French Globe clock with a rotary pendulum movement in the base.
The globe and other top parts are just for looks. The
French, Swiss, and the Germans made many types of
globe clocks, some burning candles, some with batteries
and bulbs. This movement is wound by turning the very
bottom of the base. The clock is signed under the globe,
“F ot B te”. Between F ot and B te is an anchor, a star, and
other things. The European Trademark Index book only
calls it a French clock, maker unknown. It is 9.5 inches tall
and the metal is brass. The movement is dry and acts like
it wants to run. I oiled the rotary bar and after a couple of
hours it got better. It should run if you would oil the rest
of the movement. This collector had 99.9% of his 2000
clock collection in running condition, but with 30-40 years sitting on
the shelf many have dried out. $200-$300.

English hotel clock, maybe. Coin slot on the top of the

slot unless the clock will not run unless you put some
“florins” in it. I wound the movement and it is running, so why the
coin slot? $25-$50.

Now with some age it has darkened but the finish is
pretty well intact. The one day movement is time and

hands until the calendar changed. The movement is

plated on brass, now worn to half and half. The dial is
too nice to be original but where would you buy one
like this. $50-$100.

therefore dirty and tarnished. Porcelain dial signed

assume runs only one day. Would be a very nice
clock if cleaned. $25-$50.

ca 1875. The case makes a good appearance, has a
good color and if not for the finial tips broken off an
unsophisticated collector might say, that is a good
looking clock. Evidently all the veneer was removed
and a nice finish was applied. The case now is 30.5
inches tall. If you buy the clock and remind me I will
enclose a new set of finials but you will have to stain
them to match the case. The Fashion clocks were
made by Seth Thomas at their Conn. factory and transported to St. Louis. There is a complete label on the door indicating
the clock was sold to a customer in 1875. The clock came to me without a pendulum but I have enclosed a new one. You cannot see the
pendulum so it does not matter that much. The 8 day movement is
running and striking the bell on the hours. Ly-Calendar Clocks, page

Seth Thomas, Plymouth, Connecticut, 30 hour time
and strike weight wood movement clock, ca 1830.
Stencils on the half columns and the splat are original and very nice. Both glasses are original and held
with the old putty and the painted tablet is original
and very nice with minor loss. Label inside the case is
near perfect and the wood dial is excellent. Writing
on the back of the dial says, “Joseph Short / Feb 20th
1837”. The back of the dial is so clean you would
think it was new. The paw feet, back feet, iron weights, brass pendulum, and the hands, all look to be period and probably original to
this case. The door has a working key lock with key, and an ivory
escutcheon. The mahogany veneer on the 29 inch high case is near
perfect and has no chips or visible repairs. This clock is as nice as we
have sold. Ly-Seth Thomas, pages 518-520. $500-$750.

“The Plato Clock”, ca 1909. They made this novelty clock
in different styles. I believe the cast case was their top of
the line. With dome in place it is 7 inches tall. The case is
signed underneath where you also wind and set the
hands. The only negative is a finger on the lower hand,
the hand that points to the days of the month. The metal
under the glass has a good finish where the metal at the
bottom shows tarnish and wear. The movement is running. $50-$100.

Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Co. Winsted, Conn. “Oriental”,
ca 1901. A few years ago this model would have sold
for $2500-$3500. I could tell you why they sell for
33% as much but you wouldn’t want to read it. This
is a nice clock but not perfect. I suspect it is all original except the dial paper may be replaced. The 27
inch high oak case is complete and original. The
label is excellent, the pendulum bob and gong are
correct, and the 8 day movement is signed, running,
and striking the gong half hours and hours. The glass is original and
like all the glasses used in this model birds are featured. Unlike most
calendar clocks the day, month, and date are displayed digitally
below the dial. Ly-Gilbert #165. $1000-$1500.

five bell model in a 14 inch high mahogany case. The
case has small chips that would cover over with
some cleaning and polish. Bowed glass over the 6
inch etched silvered dial. As is so typical of the Sonora Chime silver dials it has fingernail or key scratches
and has never been cleaned. The dial is signed, “Seth
Thomas / Sonora Chime / Made by Seth Thomas In USA”. The full
size back door has a round opening covered by cloth and perforated
brass. The Sonora Chime movement is marked, “90B”, and the 8
day running movement marked, “89 O”. The movements are performing properly. Ly-Seth Thomas #405A. $400-$600.

with black paint. The running movement is 8 day and
strikes on an iron bell. This clock also has an alarm and
bell below the dial. Inside also is a complete paper label and old
brass bob. The movements are running and striking. Ly-Ansonia
#1695. $100-$200.

$300
Waterbury Clock Co. “Calendar No.43”, ca 1912. I have
spent far too much time analyzing this clock trying to
figure if any of the top is new. My conclusion is, if any
is redone they copied the original exactly except for
the very top leaf. If it was remade then the 2-3 inches
below the leaf may be remade. If they made most of it
near perfect why not the leaf on top. I really cannot
tell for sure so I lowered the minimum. There are nice
complete labels on the back, good case most likely
cleaned some, and a good door glass. The dials have only light wear
and the hands appear to be correct. The movement is 8 day time
and strike, spring driven. The oak case is 29 inches tall. LyWaterbury #238. $400-$600.

Southern Calendar Clock Co. Saint Louis, Missouri, “Fashion No.2”,

is a small tip missing on the left side. The bowed glass in the sash is
held with original putty, dial is a paper replacement, and the hands
are always an unknown. The wood case back has been repainted as
has the metal back parts. The Seth Thomas movement is signed,
running, and has an old pendulum bob. I suspect the round ST
movement, No. 120F, is not original to this case. It has a strike hammer and of course a strike spring, but no bell or gong. $75-$150.
Hands and imitation mercury pendulum are original. The door covers the entire front, is hinged and has a knob. Ly-Seth Thomas

Ansonia Clock Co. porcelain clock, “La Salle”, ca 1904.
The 10.5 inch porcelain case is cream colored with gold
decorations front and sides. A very good looking small
clock as their porcelain clocks go. I see one break and
glue repair on the top, satisfactorily done. The one
piece porcelain dial is signed, has damage on the dial
edge in the 9 to11 area, and has original hands. Beveled
glass in the brass sash, and hinged metal back cover. The 8 day

most of the original finish. It features a ripple or beading around the four beveled glasses. Good beveled
glasses all around but there is one corner nick on a side
glass. I like the sunburst pendulum but cannot swear it
is original to this clock. They generally came with imitation mercury pendulums. The 8 day movement is signed, running,
and striking half hours on a hanging gong. There is a bronze sash
around the porcelain dial ring and fancy gilt center. The hands are
original. The dial ring has damage around both winding arbors. LyWaterbury #417. $100-$200.

use roses as the subject. The statue and base are
24.5 inches tall and the Candelabras are 15.75 inches tall. All pieces have a new finish. It appears the
original finish was gold gilt. It has a beveled glass,
one piece porcelain dial that is signed, and a pair of original hands.
On the back is a hinged metal door covering the movement opening. The round 8 day movement is signed, running, and striking a
gong on half hours. Ly-Ansonia #1506 and 1508. $500-$750.

Bradley & Hubbard, iron case clock, “John Bull”, ca 1860. The clock
was an early and very rare moving eye novelty clock. The movement
is signed, “C Jerome”, and is a 30 hour time only, and
blinking and running at least a day. The paint on the
old clock has some original and some poorly touched
up. When I took the clock from the home I thought it
was a reproduction. This is perhaps their most rare
model and usually sells near $2000 if in decent condition. the dial is a replacement but otherwise all original. The old glass is held in place with the original putty. This model is 16 inches high. $1000-$1500.

Three piece set, clock and pair of urns, ca 1890. The 8 day movement is a typical round French movement with bell
attached. It is running and striking and has a correct original pendulum for that type movement.
The clock is 19.5 inches tall and the urns are 18
inches tall. All 3 pieces are complete with their
attached cast brass parts and there are no breaks
in the porcelain but there are some faint hairlines. There are no
markings on the pieces except a factory/kiln numbers on the bases.
The movement has a serial number but no makers name and there is
none on the dial. The scenes on the porcelain are more English than
German or French. $250-$500.

height of base and dial is 12 inches. The case is copper
color, has never had a gilt finish. The movements were
made by Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Co. $150-$300.

Seth Thomas gallery made for a special purpose. Sorry,
I am unable to explain what it was used for. The dial
has a metal tag that says, “Johnson Service Company”.
The dial and dial pan are original. The double wind
movement is signed two places by Seth Thomas and it
is running strong. The silver dial in the center is marked for 24 hours.
I just noticed at the bottom of the movement are connectors for
two wires, (wires were cut) and those wires would have gone thru
two holes in the bottom of the walnut case. IF the case once had
veneer, it is no longer there. The case is 10.5 inches the dial is 7 inches. There are no hands but I am not sure there were supposed to
be. $100-$200.

I just noticed one has metal winding knobs and
one has unusual wood knobs. Stupid me, I could
not figure out how to move the hands on one of
them. There are two plungers on the side of the
case, push them in and pull out the entire clockworks to set the
alarm and move the hands. How clever. The other one has knobs on

French Morbier 2 weight wall clock, ca 1870. It appears to
be all original, is complete, and in operating condition.
Some Morbier sit on a metal wall bracket, some hang on
a nail. This one is a hanger. It is 60 inches tall not figuring
in the drop of the two original weights which could go
some lower. The only negative I see is a repaired chip on
the bowed porcelain dial. The dial is signed, “Blin / a Machecoub”. It has a very attractive pair of Morbier hands.
The 8 day movement is housed in a tin box with two
latching doors on the sides. The scene on the pressed
brass dial surround is that of two farmers, with a pair of
horses, plowing their field. We have no reason, pro or con, to think
that the pressed brass pendulum did not come with the movement
box. The 8 day movement has a crown wheel escapement, strikes
hours on a bell on top, and strikes again 2 minutes after the hour to
remind the good folks it is time to stop praying and go back to
work. $250-$400.

Shoes”. It is also an alarm clock and is running.

Ansonia Clock Co. figure clock, “Bard”, ca 1894.
Ansonia made this figure with three different
bases and clock towers. The figure was basically
the same. This case is 17.5 inches wide and 16
inches tall. The Japanese Bronze finish is like new,
and probably is. It is a complete clock and generally in very nice condition. It has a very nice beveled glass in the sash, two piece signed porcelain dial, original
hands, and an open escapement on the dial. The metal cover over

takes a battery to operate the clock and alarm. On

“Fireproof / Safety Deposit”. Good dial and hands. We have seen a

some hairlines. The hands and open escapement
are good. Hinged metal cover over the back

Metal novelty clock, cupid holding clock. Not sure of maker
or country of origin but probably European or American.
The painted metal cast stands 21.5 inches high. The backwind one day movement ? runs some but is sluggish. This
collector had all 2000 clocks running as he acquired them
but after 30 years for some of them they may need some
oil. The dial is a replacement, hands are good, and glass is
good. The finish on the clock is good. I see a small piece
missing on the base. $50-$100.

Ansonia Clock Co. enameled iron case, “Pompeii”, ca
1904. Not including statue on top the clock is 11 inches
high and 15 inches wide, clean and complete. It is
certainly not a common model and generally sold
without a seated statue on top. They made it finished
in black, or Japanese or Verde Bronze. This is the first
one I have seen finished in black. The sash is holding a
beveled glass, two piece signed porcelain dial and pair of original
Ansonia hands. There is a metal cover over the back opening, and

Framed picture of Tower of London featuring Big Ben
in the tower, ca 1920. Hundreds were sold as souvenirs of the Tower and the Big Ben clock. It is not a real
rarity but is unusual and this frame has a cast metal
border and some mother of pearl inlay that acts as
light reflecting from the full moon positioned just to
the right of the clock. The frame is 27 inches high and
21 inches wide. It has a wire hanger on the back and the backboard
is hinged to access the clock movement. It has a metal dial ring,
good unsigned dial, and small thin hands. I did not wind the movement. Why would you wind the one day movement anyway? We
have seen a few of these sell, some by us, other auctions, and on
EBay, selling in the $150-$350 range generally.

Records indicate there were several “Merchants of

The large wood case is 27 inches high and 19 inches
wide. The wood has age darkened. Note the ship
painted on the dial and the hands formed as swords. A pin on top
releases the entire ships wheel with round brass movement case

it may ring 2 or 3 time and kicks out a like number
of coins when it does. All the parts are there including a coin tray in the bottom to collect deposited coins. Apparently you have to fill up the dispensing tube yourself to assure winnings are dispersed. The back cover has a key lock and a glass viewing port. The

and signed, “Seth Thomas / Automatic Eight Day Long
Alarm / Patented Aug.25, 1908”. They named it “Long
Alarm” for good reason for it will ring 15 minutes if
you don’t shut it off. There is a flat glass in the bezel. It
has original hands including the alarm set hand and
the alarm shut off hand. A goodly portion of the label

“Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Company” hanging calendar
clock, “Admiral”, ca 1901. They also made this identical
model without a calendar. The oak case is almost 27
inches tall, very clean and all original. It only has one
fault, and that is obvious, the stained dial. One must
assume the movement was oiled with a spray to get
that much oil on the dial. The glasses, bright brass dial bezel and
rings, the 3 hands, and the pendulum, are all original. On the back is
a complete label. The 8 day movement is running and striking the
gong each hour. Ly-Gilbert #206. $200-$350.

original upon close inspection?? It has an 8 day time and
gong striking movement that is running and a separate alarm movement in the bottom. The alarm rings on a bell and the clock strikes
half hours on a gong. No label, dial is a replacement, door glass is
original. Ly-Gilbert #1185. $50-$100.

Seth Thomas hanging clock, “Lobby 14 Inch”, ca 1896. I cannot believe it has been 16 years since I sold this model.
They are rare and hard to find, especially in the condition of this cherry cased clock. It has the original
finish, a little crusty, probably never cleaned, but
surely polished and protected. It is 30.5 inches tall
and has some very attractive wood work from top
to bottom. Key locking door, original glass, and
original painted 14 inch dial signed two places, original hands, brass beat scale and brass pendulum
bob. The 15 day movement is signed, running correctly, and retains the Geneva locks. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 342. We

but it had several problems. $1500-$2000.

escutcheon and key, but key does not work for me.
Glasses are old but cannot swear they are original to

Ships clock mounted to a shelf. Bubba did not like the
black Bakelite type case hanging on the wall by itself so
he made a shelf for it. Now he can keep things in the
drawer on the bottom, such as the key. The clock is not
signed on the front, but I suspect it is a Seth Thomas.
The inscription on the dial says, “US / Clock Message
Center M2”. It has four hands; the red ones purpose I
don’t know, the large hand is the second’s hand. It is hinged on the
right, thumb screw locked on the left. The case is 7.5 inches. The
movement is time only and running. $100-$200.

Seth Thomas mantel clock, one of the City Series, the
“Victoria”, ca 1879. One of the earlier models that
was made during a 20 year stretch when they made
their better clocks. Close to 1900 they began to
cheapen their clocks I suppose to meet competition.
The walnut case is 18 inches tall, has a latching door
with gold around the glass, and a black label inside
the case. The pendulum is different and more elaborate that all the
ST City Series pendulums except for the glass ones. It has had some
repairs but is very unusual. Inside is the signed 8 day movement,
alarm ring, brass dial rings, original hands, alarm movement, and
nickel bell on which both the alarm and clock rings. The dial ring is
worn and the inner dial piece is missing. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 211.

Seth Thomas hotel alarm clock. Not being knowledgeable about
such things I can only assume there must be other
parts, i.e. wires or something. The previous collector said it had a No.10 movement, I did not take it
apart to check. I do know there are 60 metal pull
out knobs around the outside of the bezel, every
fifth one is different, meaning they are the hour
knobs, others are minutes. The dial is signed; minute hand has a brass extension that touches the 60 small posts
around the chapter ring. The oak case is about 12 inches square. It is
what it is. Sorry, but that is all I know. $100-$200.

latch is intact, and inside is a dark paper label. The dial
paper is new, hands are not correct, alarm ring and
alarm movement are original, and both the alarm and
clock strike on a nickel bell. The 8 day movement is running and
striking properly. The nice pendulum is seen on many Ingraham
clocks so must assume it is correct for this model. Ly-Ingraham

top. The previous collector said it was a Waterbury
clock. I did not find it in the catalogs and did not
disassemble to inspect the movement. It is large
standing 19 inches tall and is 16 inches wide. Made
of a lightweight thin metal, decorated nicely to look
like an expensive clock, but it isn’t. The movement is 8 day time and
strike, and running. The dial and hands may be replacements and all
the gold paint looks like it was repainted. $100-$250.

“Ball Watch Co. / Cleveland”, short drop oak railroad
clock, ca 1879. The 24 inch high oak case is identical to
those made by Seth Thomas and other makers during
the late 1800’s, early 1900’s. The original painted metal
dial has faded some and is signed by Ball. The glass
may be a replacement and not sure about hands although they are proper. The small glass is probably
original, and inside is a near complete and brittle label. It would be
advisable not to put the pendulum and key inside except when in
use. The inside label says, “Directions for setting / Ball’s Railroad
Office Clocks”, then the directions, followed by, “The Ball Watch
Co. / Manufacturers / Cleveland”. The 8 day time only movement is
signed by Seth Thomas and it is running. The pendulum does not
look like any I have ever seen but then I have never had a clock like
this one. $250-$500.

weights, old brass pendulum bob, and most of the
paper label remains on the backboard. The signed
movement is one day weight driven, running and striking on a coil
gong. Weight cords, winding crank, and hands, may all be original to
the case. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 521. $75-$150.

is very large and heavy but must be to properly hold the large glass.
The bezel latches behind the round case. $250-$500.

or 3 time and kicks out a like number of coins when it does. All the
parts are there. Apparently you have to fill up the dispensing tube
yourself to assure winnings are dispersed. Note I did not have the
dispensing brass tube in its slot for the picture. $250-$500.

Seth Thomas Sonora Chime Clock No.14”, ca 1911.
They made the beautifully sounding clocks from 1909
thru 1923 but discontinued making them because of
the cost of the bells and the fact that it required two
different movements in the cases. This case is mahogany and stands 14 inches high, retaining the original finish, now very dark and slightly crusty. It has a 6
inch convex etched silvered dial and a convex beveled glass. The silver dial is signed two places and the hands are
original. The hinged back door has a round opening with a perforated brass cover and cloth covering behind. The purpose of course is
to allow the sound of the Sonora resonated bells to escape the
clock. The chime movement is marked “90B”, and the 8 day running
movement is marked, “89AG”. The pendulum, key, five bells, and
on off switch, are all intact. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 157. $500-$750.

model, ca 1897. These clocks have quality brass movements, this one is double spring driven time only
movement with a solid brass front plate and pierced
iron black plate and Graham dead beat escapement. It
has a long drop pendulum with a wood stick and engraved brass covered bob. The movement is numbered “812” over “Pat. Dec 10, 1889” over “1117”. The
center arbor of the movement has a snail gear connected to a rod which lowers to trigger the release
lever on the top of the calendar mechanism. Once a
day the release lever is engaged which rotates the
calendars “day” cylinder and the 31 date rotary “flick”
card style mechanism which operates on a separate
spring. The month and day barrels have original paper labels but the
date cards have replaced labels. The oak case is 37 inches high, in
original finish, and the movements are functioning properly. The
entire front of the case slides off to easily access the interior of the
clock. The calendar mechanism has its own huge spring and the
time movement has two large springs wound from one wind arbor.

New Haven Clock Co. banjo clock, “Washington”, ca 1923.
According to the catalogs they made this model as a 30
day clock only, however our clock has two winding arbors, not three, so it must be an 8 day model for the 30
day models show 3 winding arbors. Ours is double wind,
time only. You be the judge. The mahogany case is about
42 inches tall and 12 inches wide, doors top and bottom,
metal eagle and side rails. The 8 inch silver dial has some
wear and spotting, hands are correct, dial is signed, hand
painted glasses are original, and so is the long pendulum.

“Forestville Manufacturing Co. Bristol, CT.U.S.A.”, column & cornice
shelf clock, ca 1845. The company name and address were spelled
three different ways on the dial, movement, and
label. The mahogany veneered case is 35 inches tall
and is retaining the original finish, now darkened.
The veneer is actually pretty nice but there are a
few tiny chips on the top and base flat edges. If not
for the signed wood dial having many stretch
marks the clock would make a good impression.
You may want to repaint the middle glass but otherwise a nice early 8 day weight driven clock. It has

Austrian mantel clock. I have sold clocks like this made in the 1700’s
but this one may be early 1800’s. They went all out with decorations
and it is hard to picture everything especially the
music box in the base. I have never seen one that
had not has lots of restoration I would guess because of all the fragile ornaments and attachments.
The wood case is 26.5 inches high and 16 inches
wide. Most had a finial or ornament on the top. This
one has a piece or ivory looking material. There are
four full glass columns and two half columns all
with bronze capitals and bases. I can tell there has
been some reconstruction on the backboard, particularly some added support for the mirror. The
movement is not signed, only numbered. Typical of this type Austrian clocks it runs only 2-3 days. It has two strike hammers, one
strikes quarter hours, the other the house. At 15 after one hammer
strikes one time, and the other strikes the previous hour. At 30 after
it strikes two times, then the previous hour, etc. The music plays but
is not playing correctly with the chimes. There are teeth missing on
the comb. The porcelain dial has some chips repaired around one of
the three winding arbors, hands are correct, and the glass is bowed.
A very interesting and complicated clock. $250-$500.
626.
$100
French Morbier, 2 weight wall clock, ca 1870. It has a very unusual
dial, light blue numerals on the white slightly bowed porcelain dial.
The numerals are like cartouche numerals, outer ring marked for
minutes, inner ring marked 1-31 for the calendar hand. I do not believe I have ever sold a Morbier with a calendar feature. The three
hands are original. The dial is signed, “Godeau /
a’Fresnay.s/.-Sarthe”. There are some light hairlines
on the dial. The large iron weights are the correct
type for this clock. It does not have a pendulum.
They are easy to find. I see them all the time on
EBay. You can buy a folding pendulum with a small
brass bob, a large lyre type with big brass bob, or a
pendulum with the pressed brass like the dial surround. The movement is enclosed in a tin box with both latching
doors present. $150-$300.
627.

door knobs front and back. Live mercury pendulum,

is running and striking on half hours and hours. Bronze
dial has darkened from fingers rubbing, numbers are
clear so should clean up nicely, and hands are original.
Dial signed, “J. E. Caldwell & Co.”. As nice an oval as you will find
but does need polishing. $600-$900.

Seth Thomas hanging “Marble No. 0”, ca 1913. This is
a 30 day pendulum model, time only, fitted with a
large double spring No.86-AE signed movement,
with Graham dead beat escapement. The diameter
of the dial is 14 inches with a 12 inch time circle. They
fitted these clocks to please each buyer. This one has
spade hands and is front wind. The dial, hands,
movement and pendulum are all correct but the wood case has had
extensive but professional repairs, or is completely new. I would
have thought you could access the pendulum thru a door on the
bottom, not so with this case. You have to remove the dial to access
the movement. As long as you kept the clock wound there would be
no need to remove the dial. Ly-Seth Thomas, #1123. $750-$1000.

Seth Thomas gallery clock named, “Self Winding No.1”, ca 1924. In
an oak case 18 inches by 18 inches, key locking door and large brass
sash and glass. The painted metal dial is 14 inches and in decent
condition for its age and use. Signed by Seth Thomas two places,
seconds dial and large hands. The self winding clock movement is
battery operated and the battery presently inside is running the
clock. It has to be pretty old. ST describes the operating process as, “driven by a weight which operates directly in the center wheel. It is automatically
rewound every four minutes. During the rewinding
a maintaining spring in the center wheel provides
driving power”. This clock and movement are pic-

are similar to weights you see on the Morbier. $200-$300.

Waterbury Clock Co. mantel clock, “Sharp Gothic” steeple clock, ca 1867. It looks nice but the 29.5 inch high

really nice paper label, original one day brass movement,
coil gong, and brass pendulum. It is running and as I said
it looks good. Ly-Waterbury #1493. $25-$50.

“United / Self Winding”, electric Hula dancer. Made by

She and the Swan are animated and move together.
The light burns, clock runs, and dancer does her thing,
all with separate switches. $200-$300.

properly. $50-$100.

movement, and an alarm cutoff on top. Underneath is a
bright brass bell. There is no place to wind or set an alarm.
The dial looks new and it is signed. $25-$50.
Fancy one day movement takes special winding keys. I found two
that will work and put them in the case. It is running, and from the
way things go crazy inside the case I suppose the chimney has
something to do with the alarm feature. $50-$100.

German Black Forest blinking eye cuckoo clock, ca
1880. They made a great many of this model and
featured different people behind the porcelain dial.
This female figure seems to have been the one most
produced. We have seen others with a male figure.
The clock movement is a cuckoo type but much
more elaborate case. It has chains for two cuckoo
weights, a cuckoo bird at the top that comes out on
the hours, and the blinking eyes that move with the pendulum. The
porcelain dial, hands, long pendulum, and chains all appear to be
original. I cannot vouch for the weights being original. The movement is running but may get out of beat during shipment. The wood
case is 15 inches high but with the pendulum and weights in place it
might reach 6 feet high. $250-$500.

the cannon that shoots the coin into the bank. This

Dungan & Klump, Dickory Dickory Dock “Mouse Clock”, ca
1910. The partners made five different models of their
mouse clock and there were even further variations within
the five models. They were always tinkering trying to improve and figure the best way to get them sold. This case
was finished with mahogany stain and only a few hundred
were made, making them quite rare. Model III was never
made because of a poor relationship between them and
the New Haven Clock Co. that made their movements.
Model IV was made by the Sessions Clock Company. Our
Model II strikes the bell on the hours. The mouse moves up
the clock until the clock strikes one, at which time the
mouse slides down with a loud thud. The clock appears to
be all original except for the small top piece. $500-$1000.

Some have fallen off so the others should come off easily. The dial
has deteriorated but is all there. The calendar ring is darker than the
time ring and evidently the dial decorator has done some paint
touchup also. I believe the glass over the dial is a replacement. The
pendulum, hands, latches, brass rings and bezel are all original. It
seems to be operating properly. Ly-Gilbert #189. $200-$300.

over time but not overly. Has a good rich look, probably with some light cleaning and polish on a regular
basis. The decal on the lower glass looks nice but I do
not see it pictured in the Gilbert books. Also someone
has added some small stick on stars on the dial between the Roman numerals and a flag in the center.

French mantel clock with Egyptian motif, ca 1890. 8 day
round movement made and signed by “Japy Freres”,
typical French movement with bell attached and striking hours and half hours. The metal case is 15.5 inches

is not original but definitely professionally redone.
Some applied metal ornaments are a shade toward bronze while
the basic case is darker. Large beveled glass over the metal dial.
Note the round porcelain cartouche numerals and good brass
hands. A very nice looking clock, a little different than we normally
sell. $250-$500.

Numerals are etched on the front, designs and logo
stamped from the back. The logo says, “Why Then
Tis Time To Do It”. Evidently it is a German proverb.
Dial apparently painted black or has blackened over
time. The 30 hour movement has brass wheels inside a wood box with bell on top. Everything is
quite nice, has no damage but evidently there were
side covers over the movement originally. It is running and striking
properly. $50-$100.

name, fired in the clay. The movement is eight day,
time and strikes on a gong. It is perfect, has no breaks,
cracks, or hairlines other than normal aging. It has a
brass sash with beveled glass, a signed porcelain dial,
and the correct hands. The clock is complete and all
original, movement is sound, running and striking on
cue. It has the correct metal cover over the back movement opening, and a correct pendulum bob. We have only sold a couple of this
model over the years and it is not pictured in Ly-Ansonia. $400-600.

“Patent Brass / Eight-Day / Clocks / Manufactured
By / Birge, Mallory & Co. / Bristol, Conn.”, ca 18381843. A triple decker 8 day clock, has two doors and
a middle stationary glass. The mahogany veneered
case has full columns; an old splat, only one return,
has most of original graining on columns, but overall
is in need of restoration. We believe the three old
glasses are replacements. The veneer and finish on
the 38” high mahogany veneered case is good, but in
need of minor repairs. Excellent wood dial, period
steel hands, missing both weights, bob, and key for
door locks. Doors have brass escutcheons and working locks. A paper label inside covers most of the backboard and is
in good condition. Strap brass 8 day movement has a side arm extension, and is signed, “B M & Co.”. The weight cords are good,
pulleys intact; movement mounted to slide in wood seat board, and
has a coil gong. We did not test for running but the movement is
complete. The case and movement should be restored, and checked
for running. This is a good example of the early triple decker clocks.
$200-$350.

the wind stem that moves the hands. It has three original
hands and a seconds dial. $250-$4000.

“E. N. Welch Mfg. Co., Forestville, Conn. U.S.A.”, round
gothic mantel clock, ca 1872. Collectors refer to this model as a “beehive” case, the reason is obvious. This nice
rosewood veneered case is 18.5 inches high with very
nice veneer all over. Old glasses but tablet probably a
replacement. Complete inside label, original dial has aged
and crinkled with some numbers enhanced. Hands and pendulums
are always an unknown. The 8 day movement is running and striking hours on a coil gong. Ly-Welch, page 456.

“Chauncey Boardman and Joseph A. Wells, / Bristol, Conn.”, looking
glass column and splat clock, ca 1832-1843. This mahogany veneered
case is 32” tall, the finish is original, and shows no evidence of recent restoration. There is no stenciling on the half
columns and splat. The veneer is most intact except
for some chips on the base board. A miracle that it is
so nice and is 180 years old. Both glasses are replacements and the top glass is broken. There is a key lock
in the door but the escutcheon has been replaced
with a wood knob. It has an excellent wood dial,
period steel hands and has no weights or pendulum.
The 30 hour wood movement is a Terry style, clean
and complete. I did not test the movement for running. $100-$200.

Seth Thomas crystal regulator, “Empire No.23”, ca
1913. Metal case is 11.5 inches tall, originally had a “rich
gold finish” per they catalogs. Now is slightly worn,
light soap and water would help but not a rubbed
cleaning. The base is concave and the top has a slight
peak. Four beveled glasses, all perfect, no corner
chips which is a surprise. The two jar imitation mercury pendulum is correct and perfect. Inside is a hanging
Cathedral gong and a signed round 8 day movement
that is running and striking half hours and hours. It has a perfect
four inch porcelain dial that is signed and has the correct hands. LySeth Thomas #747. $400-$600.

veneer missing on the bottom board and a chip by the door lock,
otherwise the veneer is clean, polished, and looks great. The glasses
are now held with wood strips so we assume they have been replaced. The door lock has been replaced with a turn latch and the
lock is still in the door. The label with the important information is
still intact, about 75% remaining. The 30 hour wood movement is
complete, operational, has good weight cords, pulleys, etc. There
are no weights or brass pendulum bob. The wood dial is very nice
and there is a pair of period hands. $300-$500.

“Chauncey Jerome, / Bristol, Conn.”, ogee case with
30 hour brass movement, ca 1843. The rosewood
veneered case is nice, and shows really well as rosewood usually does. The old label is near complete,
the metal dial is original with only minor fading, and
the brass movement is not signed. Both glasses are
original with old putty, and only minor flaking on the
bottom painting. The rosewood veneered case is 26” high, and
overall has very good veneer with a sliver chipped off on the upper
right corner. There is a door latch, coil gong, has no weights or
brass pendulum bob, and a pair of old hands. $75-$150.

“Patent Clocks Invented By Eli Terry, Made and Sold
at Plymouth, Connecticut by M. & E. Blakeslee”, column and splat case, ca 1832. In that same year they
were reported to have made clocks at Heathenville,
Conn. Columns are stenciled, top appears to just be
painted, not stenciled. The mahogany veneered case
is 32 inches tall, veneer is rough on the bottom
board, one return missing, the other has a chip. One
chimney cap is chipped the other is good. There is a
brass escutcheon, door lock but no key. The top
glass is missing; the bottom glass is a replacement with a paper
picture backing. It has a good label, very good wood dial, old hands,
iron bell, but no weights or pendulum. The wood movement is original but needs the weight cords restrung. I did not realize this maker
was so rare until I began researching clocks made by the brothers.
There are just no sales anywhere that I can find. $100-$200.

“Birge, Mallory & Co., Bristol. Conn.”, triple deck
shelf clock, ca 1844-1848. Tablets are replacements,
the top glass has original putty. There are not many
apologies to make for this clock, the strap brass 8
day movement is signed by the makers, it has old
hands, and the good wood dial has possibly been
touched up or repainted. There are no iron weights
or pendulum bob. There are door locks and a key.
Only a partial paper label remains inside. Several
small label pieces we saved are in an envelope if you
care to work the puzzle. You should always check the weight cords
before hanging the heavy iron weights. The mahogany veneered
case is 36” high, has good veneer with a few chips and some repairs. The full columns have original stain. As you can see the strap
brass movement is bright and clean, has good weight cords, and the
original coil gong and base. This clock is much nicer than I gave it
credit for. The case is large, heavy, and makes a very good appearance. $250-$500.

“Improved Brass Clocks, Manufactured and Sold by, H. Welton & Co.
The Old Stand of Eli Terry & Co., Terrysville, Conn.”, OG clock, ca
1840. This label is different from any other recorded labels found on
their clocks. The Co. is comprised of brothers Heman and Hiram. The
mahogany veneered OG case is 27 inches tall, has a
turn latch on the door, original top glass, replaced
bottom glass with paper picture. Some veneer repairs made, others need to be made. Inside is a near
complete label, coil gong, 30 hour brass movement
with weight cords and pulleys. It has an old wood
dial and period hands but no weights or pendulum
bob. This maker is not real common for I have only
sold a couple of their clocks over the years. $75-$150.

“Manufactured by T. M. Roberts, Bristol, Conn. for E.
C. Brewster”, column and splat shelf clock, ca 18311837. Made wooden shelf clock movements and some
clocks for Brewster, Henry Hart, and others. This is a
pretty rare clock and I believe the only one I have had
by this maker. The mahogany veneered case is 33
inches high and retains the original finish all over,
however the half columns and the splat are very dark
which makes it difficult to see any stenciling. The veneer is pretty good but as usual there are a few minor chips. The
chimneys and returns are complete; there is a door lock but no escutcheon or key. As you can see there is no paint on the lower glass
and it is a replacement. The upper glass retains the original putty
and it has a small corner break. It has a good wood dial, old hands,
good 30 hour wood movement, and an old coil gong. The label is
complete but there are no weights or a pendulum. Like others in
this small collection of wood movement clocks, it needs to be restored. $150-$250.

“Ephraim Downs, Bristol, Conn.”, column and splat
shelf clock, ca 1825. He made clocks for himself and
several others until 1845. Unlike most clock makers
he survived the 1836 recession while many others
failed. This mahogany veneered case has the original
columns and splat with stenciling visible on the splat
and barely on the columns. The lower glass is original, now with a paper portrait as backing. There is an
ivory escutcheon and door lock, but no key. Inside is
a wood dial, period hands, long drop 30 hour wood
movement, and weight cords on pulleys. It strikes hours on an iron
bell. The label is excellent with hardly any loss. The dial and support
strip holes align. $150-$250.
719.

“Modern Improved Clocks Made By Riley Whiting, Winchester,
Conn.”, early 30 hour carved case wooden movement
shelf clock, ca 1829. This style case was used with
brass as well as wood movements, sometimes they
put a glass panel in the center with advertising or
other designs. This large (large for a 30 hour) carved
case is 35” high, and has a carved pineapple splat and
carved columns. The splat has some loss on the top
and a repaired crack. The chimneys, returns, and caps
are in excellent condition. I see one small piece of
763.
$200
“Marshall & Adams / Seneca Falls, N. Y.”, ca 1834. (Chauncey Marshall and Elmer Adams) Marshall seemed to furnish the money and
Adams made the clocks. Adams bought out Marshall in 1836. Soon
after Marshall filed for bankruptcy and committed suicide. Double
deck style column and splat mahogany veneered case is 33.5” high.

patented April 14, 1857, by Noble Jerome, movement by A. S. Platt, case made and sold by Waterbury Clock Co. Waterbury hired Noble, the younger
brother of Chauncey Jerome to set up a movement
shop for them. He either made or patented this
clock before he came to Waterbury or shortly after.
Platt was a clockmaker and movement maker in the
Bristol area and made this movement for Noble
Jerome. The 27 inch case is very unusual and in near
perfect condition. The only blemish I see is a missing
cap on the left chimney. I will call the wood rosewood or walnut but
I could be way off, but it certainly is an unusual clock. The brass 30
hour movement is signed by Waterbury is clean and running with
two iron weights powering. This clock also has an alarm that rings
on a brass bell while the running movement strikes on a coil gong. It
has a pair of iron weights and a painted metal dial. Ly-Waterbury,
page 402, pictures the smaller spring driven version as described in
#768. $200-$350.
Veneer is figured mahogany on the case, the splat,
chimneys, and returns. There are half columns on
each side of the door. The glasses are not original to
the clock, the bottom glass with a transfer added
reflecting the style used by this company on some of
their clocks, curtain tablets. The door has an ivory
escutcheon and a key lock but no key. Inside there is
a very nice label, a coil gong, and a Connecticut wood
30 hour movement. There are no iron weights or a
brass bob. There is a wood dial with some stretch
marks on the upper half, and a pair of old hands. The weight cords
will need to be put over the spools on top. Overall the clock is in
very good condition, especially for a clock pushing 200 years old.

“Henry C. Smith, / Plymouth, Conn.”, ca 1833-1845.
Column and splat wood works shelf clock is clean and
typical of the small shelf clock collection we have
been listing starting with #754. Not to say he did not
put in a replaced glass if it needed one, but practically
all of his clocks are by rare makers. The mirror glass is
bad and you may want to replace. There is a brass
escutcheon and door lock, but no key. There is a nice
wood dial, period hands, but no iron weights or pendulum. Most of the paper label is intact, top glass is old, and there is
paint on the half columns, the splat and the chimneys and returns.
The thirty hour wood movement is complete and operable, striking
on a replaced wire gong. $150-$250.

“Waterbury Clock Co. Waterbury, Conn.”, spring
driven shelf clock, patented April 14, 1857. Label
is identical to the label pictured in #767. Movement of course is different than the weight driven movement. I have pictured both clocks together to give you an idea of the similarities and
the differences. This case is 21 inches tall and I
believe to be rosewood. This case is also near perfect but a little
darker than #767. It appears to be identical to the clock, movement,
and label, pictured on page #402, Ly-Waterbury. $100-$200.

“Invented by Eli Terry, Made and Sold at Plymouth, Connecticut, by
Henry Terry”, pillar and splat shelf clock with 30
hour time, strike, and alarm, 3 weight wood movement, ca 1832. We have seen an identical clock
signed, “Henry Terry & Co.”, made in 1835. The 28
inch high mahogany veneered case has been
cleaned. Veneer has a couple of chips on the base
and around the mirror on top. The door is held in
place with 2 nails acting as hinges, which is common
on these early clocks. The nail on the top right of the
door popped out the veneer so nothing is holding
the door in place except the bottom nail. The top door glass is original and all the mirrors may be replacements. There is a brass escutcheon, door lock, but no key. The label has some loss but important particulars are intact. The clock and alarm sounds on the
same large bell. Good wood dial is slightly faded but clean, and
hands are period. There are two iron weights and a replacement
alarm weight. Some restoration is needed before putting the clock
in operation; weight cords restrung and install a suspension. The
case may have had feet originally and the top appears to have new
wood. $300-$500.
$200
“Asaph Hall, Goshen, Conn.”, short drop column and
splat, ca 1830-1837. The complete label in the case
says that the 30 hour wood movement has ivory
bushings. The movement has a 42 teeth escape
wheel, is complete and operational with weight
cords hung on rollers on top of the case. It strikes on
a coil gong. There is a colorful wood dial and pair of
period hands. There are no weights or a pendulum.
The original upper glass is wavy and has original putty while the lower glass is a replacement with a transfer. We cannot
say the four feet underneath are original but have no reason to
suspect they are not. The mahogany veneered case is 28 inches tall,
not perfect but has no noticeably bad veneer. There are a few small
chips on the veneer, capitals, returns, and splat. The columns and
splat have original stenciling although dark. This is a very rare maker
who went on to become a clock peddler in Georgia. $250-$350.

“Ansonia Brass & Copper Company – Gothic Gem”, ca
1869. The mahogany veneered case is 18.5 inches high,
retaining the original finish, now dark and a little
crusty. Some veneer chips and separation but only on
the door sections. Original glasses, door knob, painted
metal dial, gong, and pendulum. The dial is faded and
aged seriously. There is a partial label inside. The
movement is ticking and running as I write this however I did not check it for length of running. Ly-Ansonia #1710. $75$150.

“Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Company / Manufactory, Winsted, Conn.”, rare weight powered shelf clock, not
found in the Gilbert catalogs or Tran Duy Ly books, ca
1850. The beautiful rosewood veneered case is 31.5
inches tall and for all practical purposes is one of
their OG cases with a splat top. Everything is original
and in very nice condition. Glasses, door latch, 30
hour brass movement, painted metal dial, hands,
pendulum, gong and base, and pair of iron weights,

“Waterbury Clock Co. Waterbury, Conn.”, weight driven shelf clock,

condition. Probably cleaned and polished at one time but is good
enough to keep if I only had some room. This case
style preceded the OG and many other more popular
ST models, and very few were made. I may have
seen two in my 45 years of selling. This clock is not
perfect for if you look real close with a magnifying
glass you might see a corner nick somewhere, and
yes there is a small amount of paint loss on the tablet. This one is definitely a keeper for I have never
seen a nicer clock from that era. The glasses, applied
emblem, and even the finials, are original. The examples of this clock pictured in Ly-Seth Thomas, pages
680-681, are admittedly replacements. I notice that the model with
an alarm has the large dial opening, but so does the model with no
alarm, like this one. The 30 hour movement is signed, strikes a coil
gong, and has an excellent wood dial, a pair of iron weights, and a
very nice paper label. On a scale of 1 to 10, it is a 10. $250-$500.
are all original stock for this clock. They don’t come any nicer than

“Atkins & Porter, Bristol, Conn.”, rare ca 1840 30hour Cornice with original mirror and stenciling
around the dial, and the movement with count
wheel with half hour strike in the center back to
avoid the Jerome patent. (Copied from “The Clocks
of Irenus Atkins” by Gregory and King) Our clock is
identical to the one pictured on page 29 of the
above mentioned book. The rosewood veneered
case is 23.5” high, case side are reverse OG, in other
words, higher at the door than at the sides. Good veneer but some
repairs around the door latch and a chip on the top left of the door.
The door latch, painted metal dial, pair of old hands, pair of old iron
weights, old pendulum, coil gong, and brass movement as previously described, are all original to the case. The paper label has some
loss in the weight chutes and in the bottom, important parts are
intact. Identical case, movement and label are pictured and described in, “The Clocks of Irenus Atkins”, by Gregory and King, page
29. $25-$400.

“Forbes & Tucker, Concord, N.H.”, shelf clock, ca
1840. They made some cases and bought brass and
wood movements from Conn. makers. They were
more like dealers than clockmakers. Both probably
sold clocks under their own name while they were
partners. The unusual mahogany veneered case is 29
inches tall, compete and original but a little rough in
spots. There are a few veneer chips and loose moldings on the cornice top. The case front is angled 45
degrees and all surfaces are flat. It has old glasses, door latch, and a
pair of old iron weights. The wood dial is very nice, hands and pendulum are period, has a complete label and a 30 hour wood movement. If you collect unusual clock makers you will want this one.
$200-$300.

“Chauncey Jerome, New Haven, Conn.”, miniature
triple decker empire style mantel clock, ca 1843. Jerome made several variations of this case, i.e. full
size 8 day, hollow column, full column, true triple
deck, etc. This case is 27.5 inches tall, beautiful rosewood veneer, three glasses, two door latches, and
solid half columns made of a slightly lighter shade of
rosewood or similar wood. All the glasses may be
replacements but they did install old glass. The 30
hour brass movement is signed, “Chauncey Jerome, New Haven,
Conn. U.S.A.”. The previous collector said this was an 8 day movement but I counted only 40 teeth and a normal 8 day weight will not
go in the weight chutes. The label is half gong, coil gong remains,
metal dial may be from another clock, and there is a pair of old iron
weights. This case and many similar cases are pictured on page 70
of the NAWCC Bulletin Supplement #15, “From Rags To Riches To
Rags / The Story of Chauncey Jerome”. $300-$500.

“E. Terry & Sons, Plymouth, Connecticut”, stenciled
column and splat short drop clock, ca 1823-1831. Eli
Terry, Sr. was partners with his sons, Eli Terry, Jr. and
Henry Terry, producing 30 hour wood shelf clocks.
The 29 inch mahogany veneered case has stenciled
quarter columns, paw feet, two original glasses, splat
with no visible stenciling that may not be original to
the clock. There is a door lock but no escutcheon and
good chimneys and returns. Inside is a good label,
very good wood dial and period hands, old pendulum bob, pair of 30
hour iron weights, and a Terry wood movement. $300-$500.
773.
$100
“Daniel Pratt, Jr. / Reading, Mass.”, looking glass shelf clock with 30
hour wood movement, ca 1832-1835. He used Chauncey Jerome’s 30
hour groaner type overhead striking movement. The bell is on top
of the case. Pratt made other models with the bell on top, some
with an alarm striking on the bell. The label is complete and intact.
Note the label is identical to labels used by Jerome, Pratt & Frost,
Daniel Pratt & Sons, and no doubt other Pratt businesses. The top glass is original, the mirror a replacement. The weights, hands, and pendulum all are period and probably original to the clock. The wood dial
is near perfect but I doubt it came with this clock. The
rosewood (or mahogany) veneered case is 34” tall,
flat columns, splat and no chimneys or returns. The
splat may not be original to this case. It is loose, just
sitting on top for the picture. The veneer is good but
there are the usual nicks on the edges. Overall the
case is not bad. $100-$200.
777.
$110
“J. C. Brown / Bristol, Conn. / Forestville Manufacturing Company”, beehive cased clock, ca 1848. Mahogany veneered case is 19 inches tall, has very good veneer all over with no big problems or repairs. Bottom
tablet is original, upper glass replaced but they did a
super putty job, almost passes for original. Complete
paper label inside, replaced metal dial pan, and old
hands. No pendulum bob with this clock. The J. C.
Brown 8 day brass movement is not signed and the
coil gong is missing from the brass stand. The case
has the typical porcelain J. C. Brown door knob. This clock and other
J. C. Brown clocks are shown in the book by Kenneth Roberts and
Snowden Taylor, “Jonathan Clark Brown and the Forestville Manufacturing Company”. $200-$350.

“Seth Thomas / Plymouth Hollow, Conn.”, steeple weight clock, ca
1858. Rosewood veneered case is 29 inches tall and in near perfect
60
weights and a pendulum. The door opens from the
right, top and bottom brass pivot hinges restored on
left side, traces of later folding hinges remain at left
edge of door, and has a spring latch on right opening
similar to banjo type. The original dial has some flaking
paint and a hole below the 12 for viewing the escape
wheel. The hole is old but cannot say it is original,
could have been done later. Inside is a good label and
large iron bell. $150-$250.

“Patent Eight Day Clocks / Made and Sold at / Plymouth, Connecticut / by / Henry Terry / At the old Manufactory of E. Terry & Sons”, 8
day wood movement in a double decker case, ca 1832.
The 8 day movement is made of mahogany and that is
unusual in itself. The mahogany veneered case is 35
inches tall, dark, original finish is untouched. Both
doors have key locks, not keys or escutcheon and not
sure locks even work. It would no doubt need cleaning. The old bottom glass is held with some very unusual wood strips, a kind I have never seen. The top
glass has new putty, and probably a replacement. The
stenciled columns are opaque, smoky if you are not
familiar with the word. The dial shows significant
wear, touch up, use and abuse, etc. Below the movement is a large
iron bell. There are no weights or pendulum with this clock and I
would restring the movement before hanging weights. $400-$600.

$100
“W. S. Johnson, / No.16 Courtlandt St. / (near Broadway,) / New York”, OG cased clock with wood
movement, ca 1841. He had cases made in New
York City, movements made by Chauncey Boardman in Conn., and assembled them and sold with
his label. The label inside the OG case is large and
complete, albeit stained. There are no iron weights
or pendulum bob. The old mirror has new putty. It
has a painted wood dial with some flaking, proper
hands, original gong base but no wire gong, and a 30 hour wood
movement. There is one tooth on the strike wheel that needs to be
repaired. Mahogany veneered case is 28.5” tall, basically very nice,
just a few tiny veneer chips. As old OG’s go, this one is not bad. $100$200.

Eli Terry & Sons, column and splat shelf clock, ca 1828-1830. Backboard label is complete and reads, “Patent
Clocks, / Invented By / Eli Terry / Made and Sold/
At / Plymouth, Connecticut, / By / Eli Terry & Sons”.
This is an 30 hour weight clock, wood movement,
in a 31 ½” high mahogany veneered case. It has the
original movement but without weights and pendulum. The wood pulleys are alike and correct for
this clock, but the weight cords must be installed.
A large brass bell is below the movement. The
mahogany veneered case is near perfect; both
glasses are original but the bottom tablet may
have been touched up in the middle. Nice old claw
feet, good chimneys and returns, strong stenciling on the quarter
columns and splat. Excellent wood dial with good paint, no chips or
cracks. There is a working door lock with a key. Identical clocks are
pictured and described in the book, “Eli Terry and the Connecticut
Shelf Clock”, Second Edition Revised, by Kenneth D. Roberts and
Snowden Taylor. $250-$400.

“Manufactured by / Atkins & Downs / for / George Mitchell / Bristol,
Conn.”, 8 day triple decker case with wood
movement, ca 1832. It has three original glasses,
bottom glass has a nice reverse painting, mirror
has lost only a small amount of silver. Consignor
commented lower glass may have had some new
painting, if so I cannot tell it. The splat, although
plain with no stenciling, is original to the case.
There is very good gold on the columns, only
slight wear. Upper and lower doors have locks,
escutcheons, but no keys. The dial is original and
very nice and hands are period. There are no
weights or a pendulum with this clock. There is
an iron bell below the 8 day movement. The label
has some loss in the center and we notice labels pictured in the
books also have paper loss. Perhaps Atkins bought cheaper labels
for he was always experimenting with his cases and the other parts.
The mahogany veneered case is 36 inches tall, complete with a normal amount of wear and tear, and a minimal of repairs to the wood
parts. Pictured and described in the book by Gregory & King, “The
Clocks of Irenus Atkins”. $300-$500.

“Clocks / Made and Sold by / Riley Whiting, / Winchester, Connecticut / and Cases Made by / William A. Whiting & Co. /

columns and splat 30 hour wood movement shelf
clock, ca 1830. The 30 hour movement has a 36 tooth
escape wheel. It strikes a large iron bell hourly. It
needs new weight cords, 30 hour iron weights, and a
brass pendulum bob for those are all missing from
this clock. Inside is most of a paper label, some loss
in the center. I have noticed that practically all of this
collectors clocks have very good to near perfect
labels. The top glass is a replacement, the mirror is original. There is
no escutcheon over the door lock and no key. It has an excellent
wood dial and a pair of period hands. The mahogany veneered case
is about 31.5” tall, has very good veneer all around and the carved
half columns and carved splat are very good. Overall, for its age, the
wood parts are great. $300-$500.

Inlaid base for glass dome. This came to us with
a French portico clock but we don’t think it was
original to the clock. It is rosewood with a light
wood (fruitwood?) inlay on the front, a rosewood base, and four wooden feet. It will hold a dome that is not
more than 11.5 inches wide by 7.5 inches deep. Of course, it can be
used without a dome as well. $25-$50.
