Horlogeries”, stamped on the 8 day movement
plate, which would date the clock around 1890.
Brown (walnut color) wood case is 16.5” tall, has
inlaid designs on the front and on the base below
the pendulum. The inlays are perfect. There are
ripple like moldings around the top and base. The
case is clean and should need no case work. There
is a very nice cast bronze sash around the one
piece porcelain dial. The dial is good with very
faint hairlines. The dial is signed but I cannot make
it out. Original French hands and a replaced, proper type pendulum. Four turned columns with bronze capitals and
bases. A very attractive clock that runs and strikes a bell on the
hours and half hours. $400-$600.
1.
$650
Waterbury Clock Company, “Regulator No. 67”, ca
1906. Eight day, weight, time only. Two flat iron
weights descend down the case sides from pulleys
in the top corners. Painted brown so that they are
not easy to see. Movement has dead beat escapement, retaining power, solid polished movement
frames, and is clean and running. Brass pendulum
bob, wood stick, and a signed brass beat scale are
all original and correct. 50” high oak case has been
cleaned and polished. The metal dial has been repainted, there are three correct hands, and all the
brass has been polished. The large door is held to
the case body with two hooks. This is a fine and attractive example
of the No. 67. Ly-Waterbury #573. The 2001 price guide shows $2200
for this model. $700-$1000.
5.
$1400
Southern Calendar Clock Co. “Fashion No. 3”, ca
1879. The 32” high walnut case has the original finish, but cleaned. Not as dark or black as many we
have seen, but there is some faint accumulation of
smoke in the crevices. It needs some polish and
rubbing to restore an original look. We have the
original Texas star pendulum, and a winding key.
Everything about the clock appears to be original
with the exception of the dials and perhaps the
three finials. They have excellent points and some
factory marks on the stubs, however anyone can
put those marks there. The paper dials have some age on them but
to make this clock part of your collection you should send them to
the Dial House to be painted. Correct door lock on the side, good
“Fashion” glass, four correct hands, large/polished bell, polished
nickeled dial rings. The two movements are original and functioning
properly. Possibly the biggest flaw would be the dials. Ly-Calendar,
pages 284-286; Ly-Seth Thomas, page 118. $1450-$1700.
2.
$600
Waterbury Clock Co. “Regulator No. 3”, ca 1891. The
nice oak case is 46” high, has been lightly cleaned and
polished, including the brass accessories and movement. The finish is original and has crazing or smoke
in the grooves. The four finials and other wood pieces
are all original. The old dial is signed, no chips, and
original but is stained. Everything else looks to be
original or at least what you would expect to see with
this model clock including the hands, brass pendulum
bob, wood stick, and pair of brass weights, pulleys in
the top of the case, beat scale, and parts of an illegible black label in the bottom of the case. The large
door glass is old, and I would doubt is original to this
case. Behind the dial is a signed, 8 day, time only two weight movement that is clean and running properly. Not as slick and nice as
some of the other Waterbury Regulators we are offering, but only
needs some cleaning and polishing. Ly-Waterbury #555-A. $700$1000.
6.
$200
“Riley Whiting / Winchester, Conn.”, carved columns and splat shelf clock, ca 1827. It has a 30 hour
wood movement that is complete and operational.
There are good weight cords, pulleys, and pair of
old iron weights. Inside are also a very good label, a
really nice painted wood dial, old hands, and an iron
bell. The bell is loose in the case will need to be
reattached. The mahogany veneered case is 35 inches tall, has some missing veneer between the two
glasses and a chip on the top of the carved splat.
There is old glass over the dial and a beveled mirror
on the bottom, surely a replacement. It has an ivory escutcheon, key
lock, no key. A fine early clock that needs some minor restoration
and perhaps cleaning and polish. $200-$350.
3.
$800
Waterbury Clock Co. “Regulator No. 53”, ca 1906. This is a rare model that seldom comes on the market. Clock collectors, like apples, come in many varieties. This clock
is for those collectors who want the clock to be
original with a crusty crazed finish but is very dirty,
unassembled, was in the beginning stages of restoration, but they did not get around to doing the
work. It has never been polished in the sense of
removing any of the crazing or finish, or dust for
that matter. The black and gold label, inside, on the
base is worn badly, about half there, barely legible,
but you can read, “Regulator No.53 / Waterbury”,
and other things not so important. It is senseless to
report the good original parts, but some collectors
feel better bidding if I say the following things are
all original; signed dial, hands, brass ring, two
weight pulleys, signed porcelain beat scale, correct brass bob, wood
stick, door glass, and the 8 day, two weight, time only movement. It
has dead beat escapement, retaining power, and needs to be restrung. The painted dial has some chips, touched up. What is missing; door lock, dial board, and weights. All I did was wash the glass a
little so you could see inside. Believe me, it is dirty. I have sold this
model for $4000 in the past. Ly-Waterbury #564. $800-$1000.
7.
$650
French bronze cartel clock, ca 1750. The extra-large and very heavy
clock is 32 inches tall and 14 inches wide. Probably made in the Rococo period, 1723-1774, this fire gilded bronze pendulum
clock when made was bright and reflected the light
on its many surfaces. A piece of history taped on the
back says, “French ca 1850. A similar clock is in the
living room of the Royal Family in England. It appeared in the movie Badge 373 by Columbia Pictures.”
I take exception to the date of 1850. The NAWCC Bulletin, December 1963 says, “Old French clocks with
blue or black figures on enamel inserts, each set separately on the dial, usually indicate they were made
4.
$400
French 4-column Empire clock, ca 1890. “F.A.E.que / E. Chatelain /
2
It needs a good cleaning inside and out, and a new upper dial. LyCalendar, pages 132-135. $2800-$3000.
within 45 years of the year 1700”. Also, Cartel clocks made of fire
gilded bronze came into favor during this period. Neither the dial
nor the movement is noticeably signed. The cast sash holds a
bowed and beveled glass. There are ornate bronze hands, cartouche numerals of which four have hairlines. The cast bronze dial
has many figures and designs in the casting. $700-$900.
11.
$1000
Gazo Family Clock Factory, San Diego, California, ca
1970’s. The very large wall clock is 58 inches high and
made sometime between 1972 and 1989, when the
company went out of business. They made 53 different models of wall, shelf, and floor clocks. We believe this clock is made of alder wood, and was hand
carved and assembled in Mexico, then finished at
their factory in San Diego. The carvings are detailed
as seen on the top piece, on the columns beside the
dial, the columns down below, on the tail piece, and
on the backboard behind the pendulum. The case
has a nice door latch, wall levelers, and four glasses.
There is a bowed glass over the dial. The pendulum is cast brass as is
the dial, both with detailed etched designs all over. The dial has
porcelain cartouche numerals and behind it is the 8 day German
movement signed with the Gazo logo. The chiming movement plays
St. Michaels on the quarters and hours. Their clocks are all large and
heavy, and made with attention to detail in all respects. $1050-$1250.
8.
$600
French Boulle, ca 1950’s. The large case is 23 inches
tall, made of wood and painted with gold. After the
case was painted gold it was then hand painted all
over to resemble real inlaid Boulle and brass. They
even painted the inside of the back door to resemble
Boulle and brass, just like the originals. On top is a
cast ornament and over the case are other castings.
The 8 day movement is signed, “FHS / Germany”. It is
running and strikes bim-bam on a bell, half hours and
hours. This is a very nice clock, looks just like the expensive ones. It
was made in West Germany. Note the large porcelain cartouche
numerals on the brass dial plate. The front and back doors are glass
inside cast brass frames. We have had this clock for many years and
everyone who sees it thinks it is the real thing. I have never seen
another one so maybe they are rare. $600-$750.
12.
$1000
Gazo Family Clock Factory, one of their many wall
models, “La Mesa”, ca 1976. The fine wall clock was
made by the Gazo family of California in the 19741989 time period. They made over 10,000 clocks during those years, 53 models of wall and floor clocks.
This large case is 60 inches high and 18 inches wide
and made with Alder wood. It is an open well balcony
style, hand carved, and in excellent condition. The
carving all over the case are detailed and the reason
why the Gazo clocks became so popular. It has a cast
brass grid pendulum and bob, porcelain cartouche
numerals, and an 8 day German movement signed
with the Gazo logo. The chiming movement plays
Westminster, Whittington, and St.Michaels chimes. The Gazo family
did not cut any corners or make anything out of cheap metal or soft
woods. Their clocks were pricey but you got excellent quality products, well made with great attention to detail, and they were all
large and heavy clocks. $1050-$1250.
9.
$3250
Seth Thomas “Office Calendar No. 3”, or the Peanut as known to
most clock collectors, ca 1863. A very hard to find model in good
original condition. The case is 24 inches tall and covered with mahogany veneer. Some minor patchwork on the rounded bezels. The
case has its original finish, now dark but it suits me the
way it is. The dials have been repainted, the hands are
correct, the two glasses are old but have been out of
the bezels and put back, probably when they repaired
the veneer. There is a key lock on the case side, and
there is a key with it. The movements are original to
the clock. The 8 day time movement is round, has two
springs but is time only, and the correct original calendar movement was made by the Mix Brothers. The
movements are functioning correctly, and the other
parts, pendulum, keys, etc. are the type we see with
this model. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 92; Ly-Calendar #600. $3300$3600.
13.
$600
Limited Edition of an automaton antique automobile with moving
wheels, 8 day clock, and barometer. It is an exact copy of the French
Industrial type items so popular with collectors. The heavy iron base is 21 inches by 10
inches. The auto sits on four posts protruding up from the base. That allows the automobile wheels to turn freely when engaged
when the hand brake is released. The wheels
and clock are operated from separate mainsprings. The car itself is 20 inches long and 12
inches high. Sitting on the base it is 15 inches high. It is not a small
toy but a very heavy all metal industrial type working item. The
mainspring for the wheels is wound thru the front. $700-$1000.
10.
$2750
Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. “No. 3 ½ Parlor-Black Dial”, ca 1881. The
clock has an 8 day spring movement and strikes a nickeled bell each
hour. Other nickel accessories include hands, pendulum, and sashes.
The clock case is 20.5 inches high with good original carvings on the
top, around both dials, and two large carved ornaments on each side. There is some silver paint around
the side carvings. The clock certainly is not mint for it
is very dirty mostly from being in storage and the
upper black dial shows wear. That is an easy fix for
they were paper dials originally and you can order
replacements. All the carvings are complete and have
no breaks or repairs. The top dial is original and the
bottom is silver paint on glass and it is original. It has
the correct glass pendulum bob with the letters,
“ICCCo” engraved on the front. This is the two backboard model but Bubba managed to glue them together in his
home workshop. He also did not like the nails holding the backboard on the case so he engineered a better way to hold them on.
We have sold several of this model over the years and it has always
been a very collectable model bringing $5000 to $6000, if very nice.
14.
$1500
Seth Thomas, “Sonora Chime clock No. 101”, ca 1914. Almost a perfect case but you will find a nick or scratch either showing or polished over. Overall it is in very nice condition. The pendulum bob is
correct but the swirls usually apparent on this type Seth Thomas
pendulum, is either worn somewhat or cleaning and polishing
3
base that is covered with gold gilt around the edges. Each of the
pieces has bun feet and is signed underneath in several coded ways.
The large base has some chips on the corners. I am just a rookie in
the clock business but over my 45 years collecting and selling clocks
I have never seen a three piece set with bases. The front of all three
bronze pieces are intricately decorated with animals and foul. The
dial ring is slightly soiled and should clean up nicely. The hands are
correct, as are the pendulum and key. $700-$1000.
would bring them to the forefront. The wood pendulum stick is either a replacement or at least had a
fresh coat of black stain applied. The original dial is
signed, “Seth Thomas / Sonora Chime / Made In
USA”. The dial retains all its original paint and the
hands are correct. The movements are correct as is
everything behind the dial that includes the running
movement and the Sonora Chime movement. The
running movement is signed, “89AG” and the Sonora Chime movement is signed, “90G”. The 4 Sonora
bells play Westminster chimes on the quarter
hours. There are side window openings to allow the patented chime
sounds to escape the case and there is a chime-silent lever on the
side. This is only the third hanging Sonora we have ever offered. LySeth Thomas, page 144. It books, or did book, for $3500 because
they are so rare. How many have you seen? $1500-$2000.
18.
$1400
Southern Calendar Clock Co. “Fashion No. 4”, ca 1879. The 32 inch
walnut case has been cleaned and restored back to near original
condition, except, it needs more polish. They took the
cheap route when restoring in that they bought new
paper dials from the old LaRose supply company rather than spend the money for a repaint. The roller
papers were also changed. The previous owner also
bought Fashion finials from LaRose and stained them
to match the case. We bought the LaRose stock of
Fashion finials when they went out of business so if
you ever need Fashion finials Horton’s has a large
stock of them. The Fashion glass is very good; there
are two original labels inside, correct pendulum with
wood stick, large brass bell, four hands, and two original Seth Thomas movements. The 8 day movement is signed, clean, and running.
This could be a very nice clock if you would have the Dial House
paint the dials, and put some polish on the wood. Ly-Seth Thomas,
page 119; Ly-Calendar, page 286. $1500-$2000.
15.
$400
Seth Thomas, Thomaston, Conn., top of the line
City Series clock, the “Pittsburgh”, ca 1880. This
shelf clock is rare and very collectable, more so
than most all of the more than 100 different City
Series models except the “Louisville” and “St.
Paul”, mainly because those three had a special
cut glass pendulum with the French Fleur De Leis
on the top of the pendulum bob and acorns on
the sides and bottom, and very special cases. I
have sold the pendulum by itself for near the minimum of this clock.
The polished walnut veneer case is 23 inches tall and has a couple of
bumps on the edges. The original paper dial ring has a replaced
homemade center paper. The hands are replaced, the bell is not
correct, and the supports behind the dial look to be new, otherwise
the clock looks to be original. The 8 day movement is signed but is
not running. All the special carvings and adornments that set this
model apart from others, are original and in very nice condition. LySeth Thomas #584. $400-$600.
19.
$450
Seth Thomas Clock Co. City Series clock, “Greek”,
ca 1879. Walnut case is 24 inches high, clean and
in good original condition, with no repairs or new
wood. It has a side key lock, knob on the door,
and original glass. The old black label came loose
in the base of the case and is now in an envelope.
It can be glued back in place if you so desire. The
nice ST pendulum bob, nickeled bell, brass dial
rings, and hands, are all original stock. The two
piece dial is signed and surprisingly in very good
original condition. The 8 day lyre movement runs
and strikes hours on the nickel bell. Some collectors have asked me how the “Greek” could be a City Series model.
There are many Greek/Greece named cities in the northeast. LySeth Thomas #545. $500-$750.
16.
$1250
French bronze clock with Napoleon and his horse
on top, ca 1880. The bronze case is 16 inches tall
and 11 inches wide, decorated with cast bronze
adornments all around the case. The one piece
porcelain dial has chips at 4 and 12 o’clock and
hairlines around. The backside of the clock is just
as attractive as the front. Napoleon has a long
sword on his side and there is a bowed and beveled glass in a hinged sash, covering the movement opening. The 8 day movement is signed two
places, “Japy Freres” and another place, something “Paris”. The
movement is running and striking half hours and hours on a nickeled bell. There are floppy chain reins, and movable stirrups that he
has his feet in. The gilt or bronze is bright but would be much
brighter if the black were cleaned off the metal. Nice collectable
French clock. $1250-$1500.
20.
$350
Vienna Regulator, ca late 1800’s. A mid size Vienna,
measuring only 31 inches tall not including the finials. It
is a little larger than a miniature but much smaller than
a full size Vienna. The glasses are very unusual in that
they were cut to fit the odd shapes of the trim around
them. Another oddity is the side rails on the door. I
have never seen such odd glasses or side pieces on
another Vienna. Nothing on the clock is signed. The one
day, one weight time only movement is typical of those
in other Vienna’s. It mounts on posts attached to the
back plate. The brass pendulum has some designs. The
hook and other parts of the stick appear to be original
but the stick itself is not real slick like you would expect
one that old to be. The backboard has been replaced and the case
has been cleaned and polished. The weight, winding crank, all three
glasses, tail section, dial and hands, all appear to be original. $350$500.
17.
$650
French three piece bronze set, ca 1880. The 8 day round French
movement is signed, “Japy Freres”. It is typical of most all French
movements of that period, striking half hours
and hours on a standing gong. A hinged
bronze door covers the back opening. The
clock case is 13.5 inches high and the side pieces are 11 inches high, not including the 2 inch
high bases. All three pieces sit on a padded
4
period. Both metal painted dials and all the hands are correct. The
calendar dial has a few paint chips, time dial is good. They contracted annually with former partner Elias Burwell for the calendar mechanisms patented by B. B. Lewis. The Millers, in their book, Calendar
Clocks, say that our clock was made by Burwell & Carter when they
were partners. Ly-Calendar, pages 40-41. $750-$950.
21.
$5000
French fire gilded bronze Empire style clock, ca
1810. The female figure is the personification of
astronomy. She is working with typical astronomy
instruments. The dial has a star in the center and
the zodiac calendar around the outside of the
chapter ring. There are many clocks similar to this
one, pictured in the book, “French Bronze
Clocks”, by Elke Niehuser. This clock has an 8 day
movement with silk thread suspension and is running and striking a
bell. The movement is signed, “Medaile Dargent / Paris”. Signed
behind the wheel winding the silk thread are other words, but I
cannot read them without removing the wheel from the movement. The clock is 26.5 inches high and 20 inches wide. The clock
has been appraised for three times our minimum, but probably for a
New York or overseas market. $5000-$6,000.
25.
$450
Lenzkirsch porcelain clock, ca 1891. The round 8
day movement is signed Lenzkirsch and the serial
number is “945363”, and according to the company’s records it dates the clock 1891. The elaborate
porcelain case is signed with the “crossed swords”
trademark of the Meissen pottery company that
started business in 1713, and continues today. They
used many variations of the crossed swords trademark over the 300 years. This case is made of
white paste, and then kiln fired. The cupids are all perfect, so are the
tips of the various delicate parts of the case. I see no breaks, chips,
hairlines, etc. on the case. There is a bowed and beveled glass in the
brass sash, a bowed porcelain dial with blue Roman numeral hours,
and Arabic minutes. There are very nice and correct French hands.
The back is the same, has a bowed and beveled glass in the sash.
The movement has a French type pendulum and it strikes on a bell.
$500-$750.
22.
$450
Ansonia Clock Co. “La Manche”, Royal Bonn
case, ca 1904. The large case is 14 inches high
and 14 inches wide and has excellent proportions
and details. Typical of a great many Ansonia Royal Bonn cases it has several shell configurations.
The case is perfect and the primary pink color is
wonderful. It also has painted flowers on the
front and sides and gold accent all over. The two piece porcelain
dial is signed two places, original hands, open escapement, beveled
glass and French sash. It has the correct brass back cover, Ansonia
pendulum, Cathedral gong, and 8 day time and striking signed
movement. It is running and striking half hours on the gong. The
wood base supporting the gong has been replaced. Ly-Ansonia,
page 615. $450-$550.
26.
$475
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. $500-$750.
23.
$675
Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. Ithaca, NY, “Index” calendar model, ca 1875. In nice condition this model will
usually bring $1500 to $2000, however this clock is
missing the two top side moldings. The base pieces,
although still in place, need to be glued or nailed to
make it stronger. The walnut case is 32 inches high,
has a good original gilt “Index” glass, old paper dials,
and hands. The 8 day running movement and the
calendar movement are both in good condition and it
strikes on a nickel bell. It comes with a signed original
winding key but the pendulum bob is a replacement. With a little
case work and some polish the clock would be good again. This
clock is not pictured in Ly-Calendar Clocks, but is shown in Millers
Calendar book. It was a special order model with a little different
top and side columns. We see more of this clock than those pictured in Ly-Calendar. They regularly sell at east coast auctions for up
to $2500. $700-$900.
27.
$2150
“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
24.
$750
L.F. & W. W. Carter eight day weight timepiece calendar clock, ca 1862. The rosewood veneered case is 31
inches high with a good dark original finish. There is
no discernable case damage or veneer chips. Both
bezels are hand grained but never did have veneer.
On the back of the lower door is the complete
B.B.Lewis label. Inside is a partial maker’s label. The 8
day weight driven movement has solid plates, retaining power, and steel-pivoted rolling pinion. The
weight cords are good and the pair of weights are
5
on EBay this week with no automation and bidding up to $1,850,
after only 2 days. We have seen identical Locomotives selling at
northeast auctions for $15,000 and more with replaced French
movements. I am certainly not touting this Locomotive as an original French Locomotive that could be valued at $15,000 or more. I
must assume this Locomotive is more recent and the movement has
been replaced. $1350-$1500.
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. $2500-$3000.
28.
$1450
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 repainted top dial. 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. LyCalendar, pages 284-286; Ly-Seth Thomas, page 118. $1500-$1750.
31.
$300
Reproduction of the rare Ansonia Clock Co. “Gloria
Ball Swing”, ca 1901. This is a Chinese made exact
duplicate ca 2005. It is 28 ½” high including the arm,
metal statue standing on a black enameled iron base.
Statue is retaining the original finish but now with a
good amount of blue tinted areas. The brown finish
on the ball is all intact and in very good condition.
The arm has all the original brass accessories, including the hands and numerals. The 8 day, time movement is running very strong. Ly-Ansonia #3005 pictures their clocks, and this one is just like Ansonia’s.
We have seen many of the originals sell in the $5000
range. No one will know if you don’t tell them. $350-$550.

$6500
Walter H. Durfee, American Hall Clock, ca 1884. Durfee
gave birth to the grandfather clock in America and
dominated the American hall clock industry for the
next 17 years. He never made cases or movements,
but imported them from England and assembled
them in his shop in Providence, R .I. In later years he
bought cases from some Boston firms. His clocks have
always been of the highest quality and consequently
have fetched high prices at auction. This mahogany
cased clock has an eight day, coil gong hour striking
movement that is all original and running. It has been
idle for some time but we wound the large iron
weights and it performed splendidly. We recently had
the movement cleaned, oiled, and regulated so you
can expect it to perform properly for many more
years. The iron weights are a brass color. The pendulum rod is steel
and the bob is brass. The beautiful mahogany case is 101 inches high
(8 ft. 5 in.) and 24-25 inches wide at the top and base. It has fluted
columns with brass capitals and bases on the bonnet, waist, and
base. There is a large brass escutcheon around the door lock and it
comes with a door key. The brass dial shows some age with normal
wear and it appears no one has attempted to clean or polish it,
probably since it was new. The dial has three original hands, a
second's dial, a calendar dial, and a moving moon. Presently the
clock is in my home in Lexington. We can arrange for a professional
antique hauler to deliver it to you. $7000-$9500.

Rolling Plane novelty clock. We were able to get another of these
interesting clocks and have had it on our desk running for a few
months, so can assure you it should perform for you also. These
clocks are not antiques, but made in recent times. You never wind
this clock but you do have to pick it up
once each day and sit it back at the top of
the incline. It will stop when it reaches the
bottom unless you move it. It runs on its
own weight, a heavy weight inside that
keeps it rolling down the incline. You cannot see it move but in one 24 hour period it will move most of the
way down the incline. The dial is porcelain, the 12 is always at the
top as the dial stays level and the outside brass case does the moving. The carved wood platform is 21” long. I think everyone should
have one of these for it relieves stress and keeps the mind active,
watching it all day. $400-$600.

French carriage clock. The bronze case is 6 inches
high, handle is stationary, four large turned feet, and
a hinged front door with beveled flat glass. The silver dial is etched in the center, dial rings and numerals are etched and filled with black paint. It has original hands and a special winding key. The lid over the
watch size movement is removable revealing a
beautiful and very unusual cylinder movement that
is signed, “Orme / Lambeth / 4189”. It is running. A very rare and
unusual carriage clock. $250-$350.

French style Industrial Automation Locomotive engine. Large brass
locomotive on a metal base. It is 18 ½” wide, and 17 ½” high at the
tallest point, the smoke stack. It has a thermometer on the smoke
stack, barometer, and porcelain dial ring, all like the 1885 French
Automation Locomotives. The French movement is 8 day, half hour and hour strike on the
train bell and the wheels of the train turn on
the hours only. The wheels have a separate
wind up movement that winds in the rear,
while the lever to engage the wheels is the
brake lever, near the time dial. The Locomotive can sit alone if you do not wish to use the
base. The wheels will turn in either case. This
is a very heavy Locomotive, and not a toy. We saw an identical one

Ferris Wheel crystal regulator clock on a wood
base with a square glass box around the clock. The
weight of the balls power the movement so the
clock never needs to be wound. You simply place
the balls back into the top every week. The balls
follow a track in the top of the clock onto a Ferris
wheel, slowing riding down ending in the bottom.
The clock is 15 inches high and 11 inches wide. All
the glasses are beveled. There is a visible escapement wheel just below the 12, where you can see it as the escape-

key can be turned clockwise or counter clockwise
to wind the time spring or the strike spring. The
hands can also be turned in either direction. This
four glass crystal regulator is just under 11 inches
tall, has a fine gold plated case, some gold remaining but looks brass to me. Beveled glasses, front,
back and sides. Front glass has a small chip. If it
bothers you exchange for the door on the back.
The 8 day movement is running and striking the
gong on half hours and hours. The porcelain dial is very good and
the hands are correct. Ehrhardt, Volume 1, pages 74-75, pictures
Boston Clock Company clocks and explains about their rare movements. #500-$750.
ment is revolving as it is running the movement. It is running but
does make a slight noise as the metal ball falls out of the Ferris
Wheel onto the base. The Chinese copied this type clock from originals made in France during the 1800’s. We have sold several variations of the Ferris Wheel Crystal Regulators. Originals of course sell
for many thousands of dollars. $500-$750.

Modern Great Wheel skeleton clock standing 19 inches tall and 12 inches wide. It appears like it is enclosed
in a glass dome but actually it is a thick piece of glass
with the porcelain dial and hands in front of the glass
and the movement, great wheel, and pendulum, behind the glass, all resting on an oval marble base. It is
very appealing, not gaudy even though it has some
brass trim around the base, brass feet, and brass
posts holding the glass and movement upright. It is
running with a slow pendulum movement. I notice the women like
this clock and the men like the Ferris Wheel clock. Interesting. $300$500.

Polyphon Musikwerke was founded in 1890 in
Leipzig, Germany, and in 1894 began selling
music boxes in America. Polyphon, Regina, and
Symphonion, the big three, had about 90% of
the music box market. In a year of two the disc
music boxes became obsolete as the phonograph became dominant in the home entertainment market. Most music box makers went out of business by 1914.
This walnut meandering case is 11 inches wide and 6 inches high
with a colorful lithograph on underside of the lid. The comb has 41
teeth and plays discs 8 inches to 8.25 inches. It is operating as expected anc comes with more than 25 discs. The case lid has a key
lock in front, with a key. The winding lever is in front and is the activation knob. The case is in near mint condition. $1500-$2000.

Large mystery swing arm clock. This one is very unusual in
that it strikes the hours on a bell inside the 6 inch blue
ball. Most swing arm clocks are time only. This is a copy of
an early French swing. It winds in front like the French
clocks. American swings wind in the back. It stands 38
inches tall and the statue alone is 30 inches high to the
bar in his hand. We have sold these large figure swingers
in many variations, some with polished brass, some with
dull brass, and some painted bright gold. This swing arm
has brass accessories top to bottom. Many of these large
swingers will run 14 days but we sell them as 8 day runners. We have not tested it for duration of swinging. It is beyond me
how the price can be so reasonable for solid brass clocks. $600$900.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Office Calendar No. 13”, ca 1889. Factory
stamp on the back of the case proving it was made in 1889. Cleaned/
polished 48” high walnut case with all moldings and
attached and applied ornaments that belong on the
case except for the top 3 inches. Nothing repaired or
added and everything is all original except for that
top. Weight driven time only movement is signed
and running. There are no extra holes around the
movement or dial indicating the clock is all original
and not been messed with. It has the correct pendulum, beat scale, weight, old key, two dials and all
four hands appear to all be original to the clock.
Someone added extra weight to the iron weight.
Most times we see that weight has been added it
was not necessary. Usually it takes only a small adjustment somewhere to make it run accurately. The dials are original
but repainted professionally and look very nice. We sold clocks 20
years before we had a No.13, and lately we have had a half dozen.
We have noticed that this model may sell for up to $16,000 at east
coast auctions. Ly-Calendar, pages 256-257; Ly-Seth Thomas, page

“Forestville Mfg. Co. (J. C. Brown) Bristol, Conn.”, shelf acorn clock
with fusee movement, ca 1845. Brown made the acorn clocks with
different configurations, some with feet, some on a solid wood
base, some with side arms, some wall hanging, etc. This clock is a
good example of the shelf model with curving side arms around the
one piece door with two original glasses. Bottom tablet is an original painting of, “Hall of Independence, Philadelphia, 1776”, and so
signed. There is minor flaking of the 170 year old painting. The painted metal dial certainly appears to be original. Usually there is a card
label inside the case, this one has none and no evidence it ever had
one. The fusees have brass wire running upward
to the fancy Brown brass movement. The books
all call this clock an 8 day, I am not sure, but I am
sure you experts out there will know. The 25 inch
high case is all original and complete, with striped
graining running north/south that I will call rosewood and rosewood veneer. There are many
books with pictures and history of the early acorn
clocks and their makers. Acorn clocks, not nearly
this nice are being sold at the large east coast
auction houses for $8000 and more. $3500$5000.

Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Co. hanging calendar clock,
“Observatory”, ca 1913. Replaced bottom on this 37”
oak cased clock. Everything else is correct and original including the old dial and the three hands. Good
old glasses, pendulum bob and wood stick. The dial is
signed, and a complete paper label on the back also
gives credit to Gilbert. The original 8 day movement
is correct, and running. These “store regulators” and
“shop clocks” were widely used in industrial situations until they became popular with decorators in

Boston Clock Company, crystal regulator, aptly named, “Crystal”, ca
1892. These unusual clocks have only one winding arbor and the

large pendulum bob appears to have originally been a nickel color
but someone painted gold over it to make it look brass to match the
other brass accessories. I would remove the rest of the paint then
go from there. Ly-Seth Thomas, pages 298-299. We see this model
sell at other auctions for $10,000 and more, without a base of

“Henry S. Prentiss / Lessee / Prentiss Calendar & Time
Co. / New York”, copied from the dial of their “60 Day
Empire With Calendar” 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. From the skimpy information
we have about this company, they made their own
calendar movements but bought the running movements from Waterbury, Gilbert and probably others. 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. This clock is an excellent example of the Prentiss
Calendar clocks. Ly-American, Volume 2, and Ly-Calendar. $1500$2000.

“Brass Clocks Manufactured by Philip L. Smith, Marcellus, Onondaga
County, N.Y.” made this column and cornice clock about 1830-1833.
This mahogany veneered case is the triple decker
empire style, two doors, three glasses, full turned
columns, and cornice top. The two bottom glasses are probably original, putty on top glass replaced so probably the glass was also. The fine
case is 34 inches tall, has escutcheons and locks
on both doors, pair of proper iron weights, complete label, wire gong, and an unusual 8 day brass
movement. His movements have numbers
stamped on them. This one has only the number
“7”. The clock is operational; the wood dial is very
nice, as are all other parts of the wood or metal.
Smith was a rounder. His clock business failed in 1842. In 1846 he
was arrested for counterfeiting half dollars. He fled, was captured
and jailed. Arrested for assault and battery in 1851, grand larceny in
1855. His clocks of this type usually sell in the $1000 range. $600$800.

Bottom painted glass is original, some paint loss.
The upper glass is original but broken, the mirror
is a very nice replacement. It has a good wood
dial, correct hands, pair of iron weights, brass
bob, and iron bell on top of the 30 hour upside
down movement. I did not hang the weights to
the wood movement but the previous owner had
it running. 35.5 inch high mahogany veneered case is not a cream
puff, some veneer chips, but it is complete. Columns and splat have
no stenciling but are nice clean polished mahogany. The door has an
ivory escutcheon with key lock, but no key. $750-$1000.

Waterbury Clock Co. “Augusta”, ca 1893. One of their unusual, fairly
rare, and very collectable models with cast brass ornaments from
top to bottom, twisted columns down the sides and twisted brass
weights. The brass is clean and polished and the wood has not been
cleaned to the extent that any of the old finish has been removed.
You can tell it has been well maintained, cleaned, and polished
when needed. In other words it has always been in a
good environment and not in a factory. Almost all of
the Augusta models we have sold or seen were oak.
This one is oak and stands 51 inches high, with glass
sides and an original cabinet finish. The brass chains,
brass pendulum bob, wood stick, dial and hands,
brass bezel and rings, complete label on the back,
and all other parts of the clock, are original. The
movement runs 8 days and strikes on a gong. You
rarely find one in this condition. I cannot guarantee
every little ornament is on the case. I had a similar
clock hanging in front of me in my office for years and
did not notice a couple of brass ornaments were missing. I am tempted to call this one mint but it is 120
years old so how about, near mint. Ly-Waterbury #600. $2000$3000.

Silas Hoadley, Plymouth, Conn. miniature, weight
driven, time and alarm shelf clock, ca 1825-1840.
The interesting and divergent time and alarm miniature shelf clocks made by Hoadley are pictured
and discussed in two articles by Bryan Rogers and
Joseph Arvay, and published in the NAWCC Bulletins, August 1996, page 601; and June 1998, page
328. This mahogany veneered case is only 23.5”
high, has a stenciled splat and stenciled quarter
columns. There are chimneys and returns on top,
ivory escutcheon in the door, a working lock, and
two old glasses. The lower glass is an old mirror
with some loss. There is new putty holding both old glasses. That
could mean the “old” glasses came from another clock, or it could
mean the putty being almost 185 years old may have fallen out and
had to be replaced. The mushroom top splat is an unusual feature
on this clock. The movement was apparently serviced, pinned with

Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Regulator No. 17”, ca 1884. The
oak case is 60” tall, stained very dark to more resemble
mahogany and nothing has been cleaned, however for
whatever reason someone made a base to make it floor
standing. They may have wanted a floor clock or the
base of the wall clock was missing?? The door has three
key locks on the side, all operational. The dial I believe
to have original paint, hands are correct, brass dial ring,
brass beat scale, wood pendulum stick painted black,
8
tooth picks, and is complete and operating. There are good period
hands that could be original, two old iron weights, brass bob, excellent wood dial, and an old iron bell below the movement. A very
rare clock and one we almost never see. We have sold this model
for $3000 and more in the past. $1000-$2000.
label, pair of 8 day iron weights, and pendulum. The glasses are old,
certainly difficult to say for sure they are original to the case. The

brass movement is running and striking a coil gong. $600-$800.

and hands. The wood dial is excellent. Inside the case
is practically a complete and very large paper label.
The door has had some work done on the wood
frame and both glasses are new. The mahogany case

E. & G.W. Bartholomew, Bristol, Conn.”, hollow
column shelf clock, ca 1828-1832. George was in
business with his cousin Eli in 1832-1833.Their most
unique product was the hollow column clock. A
number of other clockmakers also manufactured
them but the Bartholomew’s are credited with
originating them. The mahogany case with carved
and gilded eagle splat, two freestanding ebonized
and gilded columns, wooden dial with Roman numerals, and painted glass flanked by free-standing
gilded columns, the lower door with reverse painted tablet with two stately homes within a gilded
border. There is a near perfect maker’s label inside backboard with
maker’s name as above, thirty hour time and strike wooden movement with pressed brass pendulum bob and two cast iron weights
with old gold paint. The case stands 36 inches high. An identical
clock belonging to Dr. Martin Baker sold at auction in 2011 for several thousand dollars. It had paw feet, no finials, ours has finials, no
feet. Wood dial has old holes filled and new holes drilled. The top
door is hinged on the left, latches on the right. Bottom door is
hinged on the right and has ivory escutcheon and lock and key.
There are many references for this maker, one is: “Eli Terry & The
Connecticut Shelf Clock”, Second Edition Revised, by Kenneth D.

collector has a new identical paper dial that I will

brass bezel. All brass is polished, and the dial is original.
Three correct hands, porcelain beat scale, brass bob,

that descend down the case sides are stained to resemble the wood of the case. Movement is 8 day, time
only, and a good runner. The movement has solid

E. Howard & Co., Boston, “Regulator No. 10” also known

like new of course. I removed the dial for the picture and
noticed the dial was painted by the “Dial House” in the
1990’s I believe. The 8 day movement is weight driven
and signed, “E. Howard & Co. Boston”. The case has the
proper door latch and pendulum. The reproduction
No.10 Howards has generally been selling around $2500.
Originals have been selling in the $15,000 range so that is
why the good copies are bringing good money also. I do
not know who made this clock. There are no numbers or dates to

and put his label in them. It is unusual that his name
and address are stamped on the 8 day brass movement. The 8 day movement is seatboard mounted,
clean, running, and striking the coil gong. Some Connecticut companies black-balled him and would not
sell him movements because he was undercutting

The dial is original, signature is good, hands are original,
and the two door latches are in good working order. Mahogany case has the original strawberry red finish, and the
case stands near 42” high, and retains the original finial
and brass side rails. The tail has been broken and glued.
The repair was well done. This style Waltham banjo clock
is very popular, and we have seen them sell in the $2000$3000 range. Ly-American, page 248. $900-$1200.

over a 29 year period and approximately 16,000 were
made as box chronometers. The movement was originally an automobile clock. Roth Bros. of New York upgraded some
of the automobile clocks from 7 jewel to 15 jewel and mounted
them in a box to meet Naval specifications at that time before Hamilton got into the chronometer business. This unit is in near perfect

of oxidation. The movement runs by the action of the
ceramic doll bobbing up and down in the same manner
as a pendulum would. The doll is a replacement and
looks very similar to the originals. The original paper

In fact we have never seen a Swing No. 1 sell, period,
only the Swing No. 2’s. Everything appears to be original, the old dial, glass, winding and set knobs, swing
harness, and of course the one day movement. I will

watch are all nickel. A metal label on the inner box
says, “Important / This Hamilton Chronometer
Watch, (Model 22) is protected with a Safety Setting Device”, etc, and gives instructions for operating the watch. The inner box may not be original to
the outer box. These inner boxes were made for

with old replaced paper, bottom dial paper and roller papers are
original, and the hands look to be original. Ly-Calendar #342. $400$600.
Chronometer, ca 1941. It has a Navy Serial number imprinted on the dial, “N 7382”, so it was
owned by the Navy at one time and later used
as a display item in a Jewelers store or window.
It is exceptionally clean, running and signed
front and back. Brass handles on the 6.5 inch
cube Lucite box to turn the Chronometer to
view the movement. The serial number on the movement plate is,
“2E3782”. Originally the movement would have come with a wooden inner and outer box. I am not a collector of Chronometers but if I
was this would be my choice to keep. You can watch it all the time
without opening all the boxes. $750-$1000.

Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Co. hanging, “Star Drop”, ca
1895. Walnut case is 32” high, has an octagon top with
10 carved leaves around the bezel, grooves and unusual trim also around the bezel, and grooves around
the bottom. The original finish has darkened but has a
good rich look. It has been kept clean and polished.
The bottom glass is perfect and features the “Wise
Old Owl”, and is the glass pictured on this model in
the clock books. The only bad thing about this clock is
the replaced dial but in most cases that improves the looks of a
clock considerably. Original hands, brass pendulum, wood stick,
door latches, and brass rings. The movement is 8 day, time only and
running briskly. Some say this is one of the best looking long drop
clocks made by any company in that era. Ly-Gilbert, page 151. $350$500.

Giant Regal Grasshopper clock. Only 20 were made and
we were able to purchase another floor model and one
table model. This floor model stands approximately 7
feet tall on its solid mahogany console. There is a dome
over the clock with a door in front for easy access to
the movement. The clock movement alone weighs 70
pounds with a solid brass movement milled and plated
with a high gloss gold and nickel finish. The escapement is jeweled with ruby jewels. It is fusee driven with
two batons in the front which swing together back and
forth as the timing pendulums. All of the screws are
blued to a high gloss finish. It follows the original Harrison Grasshopper model. For several years we have sold
the popular small table model Grasshopper clocks. We sold a Giant
floor model in the January 2016 auction and now those of you who
missed out on that one have another chance to acquire one.

Welch, Spring & Co. “No. 4 Round Head Calendar”, ca
1878. Eight day movement was made by the E. N.
Welch Manufacturing Company and has a recoil escapement movement. It is spring driven and strikes
hours on a coil gong. Inside the bottom door are two
excellent black and gold labels, one over the calendar
mechanism indicating the inventor was B. B. Lewis,
and the other on the backboard indicating the maker
as the Welch, Spring & Co. Forestville, Conn. The
metal dials are original and excellent. All hands are
probably original or period. The 30” high case is
made with rosewood and near to perfect as one could hope for to
be 138 years old. This is a fine example of this early calendar model.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. another very rare City
Series model, “St. Paul”, ca 1884. The polished
walnut veneered case is 21” high, and like the
Pittsburgh and St. Louis, is a very significant and
imposing clock when compared to other City
Series models. The wood is very clean and polished nicely and he even polished the back of the
clock. It also has the special brass pendulum bob
adorned with leaves and acorns, and a fine beveled and etched glass center. Nickeled pendulum
hanger, nickeled gong base, and dial rings. The
signed dial is new paper on the old pan, hands are correct, and there
is a complete label inside. The door locks on the side with the winding key. This model has large acorns on the sides, spools on the door
front, burl walnut and other trim used sparingly around the case.
The brass lyre movement is 8 day, clean, signed, running, and striking the cathedral gong. This clock like the Pittsburgh, books for
$1000, we have sold them in years past for considerably more, and
we notice folks pay almost anything on EBay and at live auctions.
Those trying to collect the entire series of City named clocks are
always excited to find these more rare models. Ly-Seth Thomas

Contemporary wall clock with all the attributes of some of the early
wall clocks made in America. Made of mahogany it
stands 75” tall, has 5 finials, three door locks, slide out
carved top, five glasses, and a two jar cut glass mercury
pendulum. The two piece painted metal dial has a brass
bezel, pair of spade hands, and a sweep second hand.
Good brass weight, pulley, beat scale, brass jar caps,
and nickel jar holder and rod. The 8 day movement is
mounted to an iron bracket; the pendulum rod rests on
top of the bracket and is set up to accommodate a mercury pendulum. We had 40 of these clocks factory
made and sold them all in a relatively short time. This
one came to us with a collection of clocks to sell. If you
are the high bidder we will work with you on payments,
trade-ins, or whatever it takes to move it. $3000-$5000.

Ithaca Calendar Clock co. “Ithaca No. 7 / Shelf Cottage”, ca 1874. Walnut case is 22” high, complete,
original, clean, polished, and in excellent condition.
The back is so clean and nice it begs to be called new,
but compared to the rest of the interior of the clock it
all is near perfect. It has the correct and original 8 day
movement, coil gong, and nickel pendulum bob, the

is nickel, so are the dial rings. The 8 day movement is running
strong. It strikes hourly on the Cathedral gong. On the back is the
factory stamp indicating the clock was made in 1885. This model is
one of the rarest of the City Series clocks, particularly in good original condition. If you are thinking of collecting City Series, you need
this one bad. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 187. $650-$900.

Welch, Spring & Co. “Patti No. 1”, ca 1880. The
partially complete black and gold label on the back
identifies this clock as the “Patti V.P.”, also called
“Patti No. 1”. The polished rosewood case is 18.5”
high, complete with all the correct finials and the
ornate turned columns on all four corners, it has
the original finish that looks very nice and is clean
and polished. Great glass in the door with the gold
designs around the edge, correct pendulum bob,
black flocking on the backboard, original dial and hands, and apparently the original painted dial. Three good glasses, nickel bell, and
the famous “Patti” 8 day movement that strikes hours on the bell. I
would call it a very nice clock, but being 135 years old it surely has
some tiny edge nicks. It is running and striking properly. Ly-Welch,

“Forestville Manufacturing Co. / J. C. Brown, Bristol, Conn.”, ripple
beehive with an eight day brass movement, ca 1848. Complete paper label inside, original painted dial now with fading, minor paint

hands. The rosewood veneered case is 19” tall, has
ripple molding all over the front and the base. It has
Brown’s ivory door knob, original painted glass in
the bottom section, and original clear glass in the
round top section. Inside is a wire coil gong mounted on a brass base, old brass pendulum bob, and
the 8 day movement signed by Forestville Mfg. Co.
This rare clock also has an alarm movement standing in the bottom, rings on an iron bell, and has the
brass ring in the dial center. This rare ripple case

the bezel. The full hinged back door is key locking
with a key. The 8 day movement is running briskly. The large and
heavy brass pendulum is original to the movement. The suspension

has a key locking glass door in front and a latching
door in back. The dial, movement, pendulum, and
case are all signed by Gubelin. The clock is 18 inches
but on the shelf both are 25 inches high. The dial is
comprised of large porcelain cartouche numerals,
porcelain inner dial, and original hands. Interesting
that the pendulum is also signed by Gubelin. The clock is running
and striking on a bell. $850-$1000.

Either it was in a bank safe for 130 years or someone did a super job
of restoration. There are several thing on this case that are easily
lost or broken. The candleholders are seldom original. I don’t know
how many times I have loaned mine to collectors to use as a pattern. This walnut case is 28”
high, complete and all original. There are doodads and ornaments and carvings all over the
case and they are intact. The glass is super
nice and features what I believe to be a humming bird. Push button door latch, complete
black label inside, old key, nickel pendulum
with damascened designs is excellent. Old

clocks. Checking on line I found where some of
his early bracket clocks sold for over 12,000
pounds. This clock, like most all his bracket
clocks is adorned with brass and jewels, brass
carrying handle, window coverings on the sides,
locking front and back doors, large silver dials, and standing on four
gilded brass feet. The solid plate brass movement is signed and running. The clean and polished mahogany case is 15 inches high, complete with minor restoration such as gluing some internal wood
parts and the brass feet. Like all the clocks recently listed this one is
also exceptionally clean and polished. $2000-$3000.

Automatic Harp by “The Ward-Stilson Co. New London, Ohio”.
There are six strings on a stained wood case with trichromate transfer decoration. This is their model #9582. They made
other harps with different string arrangements. The
on/off music box lever is near the base of the harp
and it is playing one song. Underneath the base is a
paper label stating the name of the tune being
played. The label inside is complete as are other
parts of the music box and case, except there are
two missing guitar type strings. You can buy those
strings at any music store. The music box in the bottom of the case winds on the back of the case. This
may be a well know company in middle America but
their Harps were very rare. $750-$1000.

Ansonia Clock Co. “Banjo No. 3”, ca 1924. The same size as the No. 2
at 40.5” high, but is deeper and much heavier, I suppose because the No.3 has the heavy quarter hour
striking Westminster Chime movement. We have sold
the No. l and No. 2 Banjo’s in auctions ten years ago,
but only a couple of the No.3’s as they are very rare
and near impossible to find with the two original glasses. This is the most valuable of the three and harder to
find, particularly in this condition. The glasses, pendulum, stick, metal dial, hands, eagle, and side ornaments
are all correct. The silver dial is dirty and tarnished. The
clock would bring top dollar if you have the dial
cleaned. We sold a very nice No.3 in our October 2005
auction for near $8000, and we sold one in our January
2016 auction for considerably less and it was the nicest
one you will ever find. Ly-Ansonia #98. $2500-$3500

Seth Thomas Clock Co. City Series clock, “Santa Fe”, ca 1886. Seth
Thomas literally went out on a limb when he made this clock. It is so
different from their other City Series clocks, for it actually looks like
it was made of limbs, and has metal leaves attached over the case
front. This case has been restored and cleaned
thoroughly, inside and outside. I have learned a
lot in my 40 plus years selling to thousands of
clock collectors but one thing stand out, no
two collectors are alike. This collector cleaned
his clocks thoroughly and he had to have spotless dial which meant in most cases, paper dials. The pendulum bob is polished, same with
the nickeled gong base, nickeled pendulum
hanger, and the nickeled dial rings. The dial has
been papered, hands look to be correct, partial
label inside, and the glass is original for it is
covered with leaves and branches. Movement
is 8 day, signed, clean, running, and striking the Cathedral gong on
the hours. This is a difficult City Series clock to find, particularly with
all the leaves and twigs intact. Ly-Seth Thomas #597. $750-$1000.

say for sure that it is original. The case has an 8 day
spring movement that is time only and running. It has
brass dial rings and a brass pendulum bob with a wood
stick, all are original. Both doors have proper latches
and hinges. Both glasses may be original as the top
one is held with old putty and the bottom with wood
strips. There is a near perfect label on the back. The
clock is very unusual and looks to be original other
than what was mentioned. Ly-Kroeber, page 120.

nice and attractive wood case. The bottom bezel
has a lock and key, the top bezel held with a wood
latch. The original painted metal dials are very good
with only minor flaking on the calendar dial, there
are five hands and all appear to be original. The
green label covering the B.B.Lewis Calendar Mechanism, behind the lower door, is intact. The 8 day, 2
weight movement, has solid plates, has retaining
power, and steel pivoted rolling pinion. The two
round weights and the brass pendulum appear to be original. The

forget in my early days buying collections I bought a collection of
150 clocks, all exceptionally nice and most were rare and valuable. I
rejected one clock in that collection, an “Ansonia Mechanical”, because at that time it did not appear in any clock book, I had never
seen or heard of one, and I just knew it had to be a clock some
shade tree mechanic had made up. Live and learn. Ly-Ansonia #1380.

“Tiffany & Company” signed on the 8 day
movement in this French marble clock, ca
1928. Tiffany of New York had a factory in
Europe and also sold clocks under their
name, but made by other companies. The
movement is a typical French round movement that is running and striking half hours
on a standing gong. But the beauty of the
clock is in the case that is standing 18 inches
tall and is 16 inches wide. The statue I
would assume represents figures seen with
Egyptian artifacts. It weighs about 45 pounds and would test the
mettle of anyone attempting to walk off with it. It has a beveled
glass in the sash black concave marble dial ring with ornate brass in
the center, and very nice original hands. There are no problems like
chips, breaks, etc. It is clean and ready to place wherever you want
it to sit forever, for you won’t want to move it once it finds the right
place. $750-$1000.

E. Howard & Co. Boston, Mass. “No. 59-8 Regulator”, ca 1970’s. This model is sometimes called
“Viennese style”, or just “Howard Vienna”. They
made this model in several case sizes and many size
dials. The movement is 8 day, weight driven, time
only and recently serviced to guarantee running.
The 46 inch high walnut case has black highlighting
in several places and the six finials are original to
the case and are correct. The pendulum stick is
painted gold and the special damascened pendulum
bob is brass to match. The iron weight is correct,
there is a correct beat scale, door latch, wood dial
surround, painted dial with the correct Howard
signature. The walnut weight chute was missing the
4 brass screws that hold in place so I used silver
screws. You will want to install correct screws. If the case was not
so nice you would swear it was a Howard original. $1500-$2000.

Swiss pinwheel regulator, ca late 1800’s or early 1900’s. This clock
has some verifiable provenance. With the clock is a
letter indicating it came from the custodian of a bank
in Morrow, Ohio. He said this clock was hanging in
the bank when he started in 1910. The burl walnut
case is 73” high, clean and polished and it could have
been refinished at some time for it looks like a piece
of fine furniture and is ready to hang and enjoy. I will
call it a little on the dark side and I am not positive it
is burl walnut, but the wood is very pleasing to look
at. There are two doors, both should have glasses,
and latches on the side. The top glass was broken
when it was handled for loading. We have a replacement glass for you to nail or putty in place. There are
no frills like ripple or applied wood pieces. The movement rests on a wood seatboard. The Swiss pinwheel movement is typical, housed in an iron box
with latching doors on each side of the box. Porcelain dial with large
brass dial surround that stretches 14” across the inside of the case.
Lyre pendulum, brass weight, and three large hands complete the
clock. The 8 day time only movement is running. $2000-$3000.

Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. “Fashion”, ca 1879. We have sold only 3
Ithaca Fashion clocks in over 40 years. We get more inquiries about
the Ithaca Fashion than any of the Southern Calendar Clock Co.
Fashion models. We must assume it is rarer than any of the other
models. Many collectors refer to this as the #11 Fashion. The case is
walnut and similar in many ways to the Seth
Thomas/Southern Calendar Fashions except the
case is not as heavy and the finials are shaped
differently. It has a lighter short pendulum movement with the Ithaca perpetual calendar movement. The dials are paper and the hands are Maltese not Spade. The 32 inch high case retains the
original and clean finish, well maintained by an
important Fashion collector. There is no smoke or
goop that we often see on clocks this old. There is
a factory stamped number on the case back, “51”.
One other I sold was stamped “79”, so I assume
very few of the Ithaca Fashions were made. The
dials, hands, finials, glass, pendulum, and movements, are all original and correct for this model. I doubt you will ever find a nicer,
more original Ithaca Fashion than this one. This clock is not pictured
or mentioned in any of Tran Duy Ly’s books but is pictured in Millers,
“Calendar Clocks”, page 52. $3000-$3500.

Ansonia Clock Co. enameled iron, “Mechanical Clock”, ca 1894. To
my knowledge this is the only clock Ansonia made with animation,
even though it was simple animation. A rod runs from the escape
wheel to the ships wheel on the deck. As the pendulum swings the
ships wheel rocks back and forth. The clock has been partially restored, for if not you would not want it. All of the ones I have seen
that were not restored were rusted and missing part or most all of the parts on top. Very
few survived the years intact. The enameled
iron and marbleized pieces were cleaned, and
parts on the bridge were cleaned and repaired as needed. It will still need a mechanic
to get it operating for it appears to need
some attachment from the wheel to the
movement rod. The bezel, dial rings, movement, etc. have been cleaned and polished.

Series clocks, sold them, and collected them again 4-5 times over

but I am not positive of that. The 34” high walnut
case has all the carved curly cues and top ornament intact. The finish is dark yet polished and
looks great. Both glasses are original, and both
have original putty. Behind the lower door on the
backboard is a dark, complete paper label. The
movement is 8 day, running and striking on a coil
gong. The gong, movement, brass bob and wood
stick, hands, and all the metal calendar discs, are
original. The paper on the three discs shows wear and some grunge,
but the paper dials are definitely all original. Ly-Calendar, page 94. I

cloth without injury to the finish”. I suspect that would apply to all
adamantine finishes. The only demerit I can give it is it has a new
removable back. It is 16 inches on the
base, flat glass in a better sash, and an

hands. The 8 day movement is signed,

Ansonia Clock Co. hanging clock, “Niobe”, ca 1904.
This is a very nice original clock. True, the case has
been rubbed/polished, not refinished in the sense a
harsh stripper cleaner was used. As I keep repeating, very few clocks are “refinished” anymore. Rubbing with a mild polish removes the darkest of the
smoke and pollutants. This oak case is 45” tall, of
course the old chains with large wood acorns on
the ends fall much lower. Barley twist brass weights
and the cast brass pendulum bob are original. The
clock is complete, has had no evident repairs, and
we believe everything on and in the clock came
from the factory. The 8 day movement is signed,
strikes a cathedral gong hours and half hours. It has a heavy metal
silver dial, raised numerals and minute marks, correct hands, and a
cast inner dial. Brass ornaments all over the case, all intact and all

Seth Thomas walnut mantel clock, one of over 100 clocks the company named for cities. This model is the “Newark”,
ca 1885. An all original case, standing 22” high, has
never been cleaned, therefore retaining the original finish and some crazing. Not really dirty, just a
little dark and crusty. The glass, pendulum bob,
signed dial, hands, gong, and movement, are all
original to this clock. The dial has a little paint loss.
Most of the label remains inside. It has an 8 day
brass movement that strikes a gong on the hours,
and it is running. Ly-Seth Thomas #560. $200-$300.

Early Black Forest Cuckoo clock, pre 1900. It has wood plates, double fusee movement, single bird and a nice carved case. It is 23 inches tall and 15 inches wide. The consignor does not remember if it
runs 8 days or 1 day. It came in late and I have not had time to test
for length of running. The cuckoo/maple leaf
top is not original to the rest of the case. It
should have a more gothic motif and probably
a gable that probably ran the entire width of
the top. The ” Camerer and Kuss” label on the
back identifies the clock dealer in Britain that
was the largest dealer of Black Forest Cuckoo
clocks. They changed the spelling of their name
to “Camerer and Cuss” around 1900 so we
know the clock dates prior to 1900. The interior

Seth Thomas Clock Co. City Series clock, “Omaha”,
ca 1894. I have had a great many of this model and
most other City Series models and sold them for 40
years. They are good selling clocks and if I were
starting collecting again I would collect City Series
like I once did. Seth Thomas made excellent clocks
in the late 1800’s, as well as some other clock makers, but in the early 1900’s they went for quantity
instead of quality. I retained some of the quality
clocks and finally beginning to sell them. This fine
walnut cased clock is 19” tall, has all the little ball ornaments and
railing, strong gold striping on the door, very nice finish on the case,
and is running and ready to display. The painted dial is slightly worn,
but clean, and retains the ST logo, nickel dial rings, and correct pair
of hands. On the floor of the case is a good black label. The nickel
pendulum bob has the ST logo in the center, and a nickel pendulum
leader. The clock strikes on a large Cathedral gong (nickel gong
base) on the hours. The 8 day movement is running briskly and striking properly. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 202. $250-$400.

three trees on the top it looks elaborate. A lot of jig
saw work, three applied wood ornaments and some
grooved designs complete the case. Ingraham
stamped his name inside on the base. The glass, door
latch, bright pendulum bob, brass bell, brass dial

Fowler was one such company. Identical clocks
with labels are pictured in Ly-Welch, pages 404405. The walnut case is23 inches tall and is complete and in good original condition. The painted

and is very clean and polished all over. It has all
original parts including the special Seth Thomas
brass pendulum bob with etched circles in the
center, nickel pendulum leader, nickel bell, nickel dial rings, correct hands, movement and the
original dial. The dial is slightly aged but surprisingly has all the original paint intact. There is
almost a complete black label remaining on the
floor of the case. The signed movement runs
eight days and strikes the hours on the nickel
bell. Over the years this model has been difficult for collectors to find but as prices for City Series clocks went up
a few finally began to surface. Of course we have many more City
Series collectors today. I have sold hundreds of City Series clocks,
twice before I sold my personal collection of nearly a hundred different City models, only to start collecting them again. They are so nice

genius, certainly not Bubba, made matching

books by door to door salesmen in 1877. They used
the Welch clocks as rewards for their salesmen
and no doubt for some customers. In 1884 their
salesmen were realizing sales of over $20,000 per
week. We have sold several Welch clock models
made for Baird & Dillon over the years, this being
only the second of the “Irving” model. The other
one was sold in our July 2006 auction. The walnut
case is 23 inches high, clean, polished, complete,
and original. There is no label on the back and the pendulum is one
used on many Welch clocks but the “Irwin” should have a special
pendulum with “B&D” cast on it. It has a good glass, original dial,

only a couple of corner nicks. The old mirror has
some loss of silver, and the top glass is old. The old

“Chauncey Jerome, New Haven, Conn.”, miniature triple decker
empire style mantel clock, ca 1843. Jerome made several variations

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

artist. His work has been reproduced in bronze for

and depicts the life of the American cowboy. In this
piece Remington captured the classic struggle between man and
beast. This is the most recognized bronze statue in the world and
one of the few originals in the Whitehouse Oval Office. The original
is 22.5 inches tall and 18 inches wide and would probably sell well

early French statues if they were not gilded. The
base is white marble with four bronze feet underneath. There is a bronze beading around the
marble and around the base of the clock tower.
There is a beveled glass in front of the pendulum
and a plain glass behind the pendulum. It has a
bowed beveled glass over the bowed porcelain
dial. The hands are missing. The round French
movement strikes a bell attached to the movement, a typical French
movement arrangement. The movement is complete but very dirty.

others just a little difference in the placements of
the ornaments. I believe the ornaments may have
been repainted sometime in the past, if so they did
not leave any footprints where they removed all
the ornaments. It has four perfect beveled glasses,
correct hands, open escapement, and a signed two
piece porcelain dial. The dial has hairlines in the 12-1

gong and half hours on a bell. ST described the
case as, “sheet brass case, nickeled body, gold gilt
ornaments at head and base, and bronze alligator
panel”. As you can see this clock is pretty much
just a nickeled body, with the gold and alligator
panel worn down to nickel. We have sold this
model in years past for $800-$1000. Original
porcelain dial has a chip on the strike side winding

Ansonia Clock Co., “Crystal Palace No. 1 Extra”,
ca 1880. This is the latest of four No. 1 Extra models made by H. J. Davies and sold by Ansonia
Clock Co. and the American Clock Company. The
gilded metal figures are the Hunter and Fisher.
Between them is an old original mirror now covered with a paste on design, and a Davies patented pendulum. This model is 17” tall, and is missing the glass dome. We have sold Ansonia domes in past auctions
and I am told you will see one at auction occasionally. I know that
Timesavers used to sell them, not sure if they still do. The movement is 8 day, signed by Ansonia, it is clean, running, and strikes a
nickeled bell. Undoubtedly the clock has been thoroughly cleaned,
and all parts look almost new. The minimum leaves you plenty of
room to buy an appropriate dome. Ly-Ansonia, page 95. $200-$350.

Chauncey Jerome cottage clock, ca 1850. Mahogany veneered case
is 16” high, and being typical Jerome the case style is different than
other clockmakers of his day. The case is similar to other unusual
shelf clocks pictured in his catalogs, but none are
exact. Note the mirror in the Gutta Percha glasses.
Glasses are original and held with original wood
strips. It has the original dial and hands, dial apparently has some flaking but it looks fine as it is. If it

this small 17” high rosewood veneered case there
is a time and strike movement with a coil gong.
The case and movement are pictured and discussed in the book, “The Clocks of Irenus Atkins”,
by Gregory & King. The case including the door
knobs, columns, and other wood parts, are all
original and it retains the original finish. The old dial is good and the
mirror is probably original as they sometimes used mirrors rather
than a gold foil tablet. The pendulum rod is part metal but mostly an

can hardly see in person much less in the photo.
Along the top of the square is a piece of wood
trimmed out like leaves. The gold is to nice not to be
recently done. The dial is a new paint, hands are
probably also new. Most of a paper label remains

Rosewood veneered case is 26” tall, good veneer
all over, original finials, latches and knobs. The
only tiny flaw I see is a missing piece on the very
bottom about 1” by 2”. You cannot see that it is
missing unless you are underneath the clock, but
nonetheless, it is gone. Everything about the clock
is original and shows only normal wear and is
dirty, doubtful if ever cleaned. The calendar has
flaking over the dial, scrapes around the bezel hook, scrapes and
nicks on the tail, but otherwise the case looks great. The three
hands, two calendar dials, both glasses, both movements, and the
brass bob, are all correct and original. I did not test the 8 day movement for running and striking on the coil gong. Ly-Ansonia, pages 68

are probably replacements, the dial is nice, the
hands, pendulum bob, and iron weights are period. 30 hour wood movement is complete, good
weight cords, and is operational including striking an old iron bell. A

Rolling Plane novelty clock. We were able to get another of these
interesting clocks and have had it on
our desk running for a few months, so
can assure you it should perform for
you also. These clocks are not antiques,
but made in recent times. You never
wind this clock but you do have to pick
it up once each day and sit it at the top
of the incline. It will stop when it reaches the bottom unless you
move it. It runs on its own weight, a heavy weight inside that keeps
it rolling down the incline. You cannot see it move but in one 24
hour period it will move most of the way down the incline. The dial
is porcelain, the 12 is always at the top as the dial stays level and the
outside brass case does the moving. The carved wood platform is
21” long. I think everyone should have one of these for it relieves
stress and keeps the mind active, watching it all day. $350-$500.

for carriage clocks and have exported clocks worldwide. It was one of the few French clockmaking companies that survived WW II. This is a rather large case,
with a bronze finish, standing almost 8 inches tall with
handle up. It has five beveled glasses, repeat button
on top, and four round columns on the corners. The
porcelain dial shows Roman numeral hours, Arabic
minutes, and three dials on the bottom, days of the
week, hours of the day for alarm function, and days of
the month. It is running, but is new in the original box, probably
never put to running before. I don’t know if they come from the

Seth Thomas catalog says this model has only a one
day movement. I did not test it for running but it

clocks had the rare and unusual movement that
had only one winding arbor, turning left for the
strike side and turning right for the running side.
What makes this clock so rare is the exposed bell
that is ringing on the hours and half hours. The 8
day movement is running and striking although
the strike hammer needs to be moved slightly to
get a better sound. The back flange has holes to hang the clock or
screw to a surface. The top flange unscrews. The brass case is 6
inches in diameter. $600-$750.

Seth Thomas & Sons mantel clock, ca 1872. This clock is missing
some very valuable parts. The consignor did a decent job of making
the clock presentable but originally it may have been one of Seth
Thomas & Sons most audacious clocks.
Check it out in Ly-Seth Thomas, page 1060.
He valued the clock at $1300 back in 2005. It
should be 22 ½ inches tall but now is only 16
inches tall. It has a 15 day, signed, round 8
day movement with nickel bell attached, and
it is running. The movement is signed and
has the correct pendulum. Over the porcelain
dial is a good beveled glass and correct
hands. $150-$300.

Jumper, probably European made. Appears to be a
one day movement, running, with original doll,
spring, and case. The metal case is 16 inches tall with
four sided glass columns between the metal base
and metal top. There is a flat glass in the silver bezel,
hands are original. I cannot find a signature anywhere. The case and movement are dirty but should
clean up nicely. The dial is dark and I see no way to
correct that except to replace it. $150-$300.

English porcelain clock, complete and in good condition as it has no breaks, chips, or repairs. Flat glass in
the brass bezel, original but dark dial, and original
hands. The case is 17 inches tall, marked, “Pillar” on

runs one day or eight days. The consignor had it running after he acquired it but after 30 years sitting idle
it does not want to tick. $100-$200.
E. N. Welch Mfg. Co. mantel clock, “Pinero, No.1
-1900”. This was Welch’s answer to Seth Thomas’s adamantine finished clocks. They called
their adamantine like cases enameled wood
with a combination of colors, green, brown,
red, with yellow veining. It looks almost black
to me. It is complete and all original, 12 inches
high and 16 inches wide. It has an 8 day movement striking half

Bradley & Hubbard, “John Bull”, cast iron clock case, 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. I have three John Bull clocks here in the
shop right now. I laid them flat to inspect them underneath and inside. None of the three are alike. All have
different placement of screws holding them together,
and the foundry marks and names underneath are
different. This one is signed, “T. Kennedy / Pat 1853”.
The iron case is 17 inches tall and in complete but
rough condition. Apparently it has been coated with a thick black
paint. It will have to be cleaned thoroughly before installing a movement. $100-$150.

What we have remaining is nice. Good 8 day signed
movement and gong. Great porcelain dial, brass
inner dial, beveled glass and brass sash. Clean metal

Rare Swiss Christmas tree stand with music box. Silver body sits on
a wood base that is 14 inches wide. The tree
turning movement and the music box are
activated by cranking the winding handle on
the side. Off/on switch on each side of the
silver box, one for activating the music, one
for turning on the revolving tree stand. The
electric is only for lights on the tree, has
nothing to do with the turning tree or the
music. Our stand is identical to one that sold recently on EBay for
$595 and described as follows, “Antique Victorian Rare Swiss Christmas Tree Stand Music Box / The Swiss Christmas Tree Music box has
been in the family over 100 years. It plays two songs, Silent Night
and Oh How Wonderful. In the 1950’s my Father added electric to
the music box. It can be used with or without the electric plug”.
None of that is true. That is EBay talk. It came with the electric plug.

on EBay, if you don’t mind lying. $200-$300.

“Chauncey Jerome / Bristol, Conn.”, signed on the
dial, movement, and label, of this very fine ogee
cased weight clock, ca 1840. He started making ogee
clocks in 1824 in partners with various people and
only made them with his own label beginning in
1840. There must have been thousands of ogee
clocks made but this has to be one of the nicest and
most original we have sold. The 26 inch rosewood
veneered case has never been cleaned for it is dark
with 175 years of accumulated smoke. You will find a corner or so
with a tiny edge nick but otherwise in very fine condition. The curtain glass is one we have seen on a couple of his finer clocks, and it
is excellent. The wood dial, hands, gong, pendulum, and 30 hour
weight movement are all original to the case. The movement is running as it should. The ogee cased clocks have not lost their popularity, they always sell I suppose because they are very functional and
not expensive. $150-$300.
This clock is a piece of American history, a mighty clock making company that is now no more. It should be worth keeping as a remembrance of our past. Ly-Seth Thomas #2246. $150-$250.

other parts are original. The hands are questionable
but the wire gong, the alarm movement, and brass

E. Ingraham Clock Co. “Admiral Dewey”, one of their
commemorative clocks, ca 1899. Bust of Admiral Dewey and ship objects were pressed into the oak case. It
is 23 inches high, complete and original including the
glass, hands, gong, and movement. The dial paper is
29
new as is the pendulum. The case is exceptionally clean, all original
and complete. The 8 day movement is running and striking properly.

E. N. Welch Mfg. Co., Forestville, Conn, “Admiral
Dewey”, ca 1900. This clock is one of the “Spanish
American War” commemorative series. We seldom
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, page 384. We
have seen the clocks in this series sell all over the spectrum. Generally it depends if the collector needs it to start or complete a collection. $350-$500.

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. $100-$200.

New Haven Clock Co. parlor clock, “No. 503”, ca
1886. Not a very fancy name for such a fancy clock.
The black walnut case is 24 inches tall, has a carved
top piece with a Lady Minerva head, two finials on
each side, applied ornament on the base, and an
original painted glass in the door. The case is very
clean but dark, age and smoke I would assume. Inside is their fancy beat adjusting pendulum bob,
nickel gong base, wire gong, brass dial rings, new paper dial, and an
8 day movement that is running and striking on the coil gong. LyNew Haven #1302. $150-$250.

E. Ingraham Co. mantel clock, “Gila”, ca 1915. Ingraham named a
series of their clocks after rivers in the US. The Gila River is a tributary of the Colorado River flowing thru New Mexico
and Colorado. It is not a plain clock as pictured in
the books for it has a simple calendar, barometer,
and thermometer. The 23 inch oak case is complete,
original, and exceptionally clean. The paper dial is a
replacement, hands are correct, glass is perfect,
pendulum is correct, and the coil gong is original.
The 8 day movement is running, striking the gong
on half hours and hours, and operating the simple
calendar. Ly-Ingraham #1048. $100-$200.

E. N. Welch Mfg. Co. parlor clock, “Anion”, ca 1884. The walnut case
is 21.5 inches tall, clean and all original. The design is
good but yet a simple case to make if you can operate a jigsaw. There are some grooves on the base
and etched designs on other parts. The door glass is
original and excellent, has a correct pendulum bob,
polished brass dial rings, correct hands and gong. It
has their 8 day movement that is running and striking
the gong on half hours and hours. A very clean clock.
Listed in Ly-Welch, page 402, as unknown. There are
parts of two labels on the back and enough that I
believe it is the model, “Anion”. $100-$200

F. Kroeber, New York, mantel clock, “Vixen”, ca
1880. The walnut case is 21 inches tall and is complete and original. There are etched designs on the
base, sides, and top. Around the top are three applied trim pieces and the carved piece on the tiptop.
The door is held with a hook latch, the door glass is
original, and on the back are remnants of a label. The
pendulum in this clock is probably worth half the
clocks value. It is signed on the back, has beveled
glass over the slow fast adjuster, and flour de ley leaves above the
glass. It has nickel accessories, the bell and outside dial ring. The
inner ring is brass and the paper dial is a replacement. The 8 day
movement is signed, running strong, and striking hours on the bell.

Waterbury Clock Company, Waterbury, Conn.
calendar mantel clock, “Buffalo”, ca 1891. Excellent walnut case is 27 inches tall, complete, 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. Ly-Waterbury #254. $300-$500.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. walnut City Series clock, “Buffalo”, ca 1886.
Clean and polished 20.5” high case. Railing around the top with
brass spindles, all are present. It is a plain case otherwise with just a
few etched designs and some deep grooves along
the base. This model has four fairly large wood feet
underneath and they are missing on this example.
Most of the original black and gold label remains on
the base inside. It has nickel dial rings, nickel Cathedral gong base, nickel pendulum bob with damascene, and a nickel pendulum rod. The 8 day movement is signed, running, and striking the Cathedral
gong. Dial is original but worn, hands are not correct, and the glass is original. Ly-Seth Thomas #513. $200-$350.

side and outside. I believe it to be all original. This
24” high clock has a label inside, new paper dial on
the old pan, replaced hands, key, and the nice
Eclipse pendulum. 8 day movement is clean, signed,
running, and striking a gong. This clock also has an
alarm movement that is functioning and rings on a
polished brass bell. Ly-Seth Thomas #2463, pictures
the identical clock and movement. $150-$300.

Ansonia Clock Company, hanging clock, “Capitol”, ca
1894. This clock is double spring, time and strike. This
54” high case is made with black walnut and is clean
and polished, and all finials 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
pan. Ly-Ansonia #597. $700-$900.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. parlor clock, one of their
largest and most collectable City Series clocks, the
“St. Paul”, ca 1880. This model has a special pendulum. There is an etched glass insert in a brass
casing, with brass acorns on the sides, and brass
fleur de leis on the top. A very special pendulum
unlike any others. The case is 21” high, made of
walnut with some burl walnut trim on the front.
Sadly, the clock has some small problems that a
non-collector would probably not detect. On each
side of the door there should be three small 1” square trim pieces,
top, bottom, and 1/3 of the way down from the top. All six pieces
are missing. The dial is now paper, on the old pan, not painted or
signed. There is a good label inside. The nickel dial rings and nickeled gong bell are original, hands and pendulum are correct, same
with the 8 day time and striking movement. The movement is
signed and running. Ly-Seth Thomas #596. This model always brings
a high price and we have sold them for over $1000 in the past, and
know of sales over $1500. Some work needed here to command
that kind of money. $400-$600.

Ansonia Clock Company mirrorside mantel clock,
“Triumph”, ca 1880. Made of black walnut and
stands 24.5” high. This case has been cleaned but
still has a dark aged finish. It is original except for
the statues that are replacements. The pedestals
under the statues are original, so are the two metal
ornaments top and bottom, the four finials, carved
top ornament, three glasses, pendulum, and a winding key. The 8 day movement is signed, running, and
striking half hours on a Cathedral gong. Original black paper on the
inside and is still in good condition. There is a partial label on the
back. If you like a clock that has its original finish, this one is for you.

Walnut case is 21.5” high, in original condition but
crusty with smoke, etc. still on the wood. There
are no breaks or repairs, glass is original, dial is a
replacement, and hands and pendulum are correct
for this model. Paper label inside, below the pendulum and it is also very dark. The 8 day movement is running strong and strikes the hours on a
Cathedral gong. This model is not common and
still commands a high resale value. Ly-Seth Thomas #539. $150-$250.

Seth Thomas, “St. Louis”, one of their earliest City Series clocks, ca
1874. I am sure most collectors could care less about the City Series
clocks but to me they were some of the finest mantel clocks made in that era of clock making. This walnut case is 15.5” high and very smoky black all over.
Undoubtedly has never been cleaned. When the
gold trim around the door was clean and bright it
made for a nice looking clock. None of the veneer
was easy, for it is convex, and other than some normal bruises the veneer is good. Old painted tablet
has some paint loss but still makes a good appearance. The dial is original but has paint loss all over, and the hands
are replacements. There is an excellent paper label, iron bell and coil
gong. The eight day movement is running and strikes the iron bell,
alarm rings on the coil gong. There is an old brass pendulum, key,
and door latch. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 208. $150-$250.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Queen Anne” wall clock, ca
1880. Original ebony finished cherry case. It is very
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, all are original. The movement is 8 day,
heavy duty, has 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

Anne’s for over $2000. $500-$750.

and I cannot find where one has sold at any other
auction anywhere. Therefore, I assume it must be
rare. The walnut case is 25 inches tall, complete,
clean and all original. I believe the clean dial is also
original as are the hands, nickel pendulum, door
latch, and all internal parts. The 8 day movement is

good pair of hands. The dial is getting weak but is
brighter than many of this age we have sold. The
mahogany case is 20” high, has one good finial and
one with tip broken, and two good glasses. The mahogany case is clean and polished. It has the J. C.

Seth Thomas / Thomaston, Conn., “8 Day Parlor Calendar”, ca 1863.
One of three early perpetual calendar models produced by Seth
Thomas. They purchased the patent rights to the calendar movement in 1862 from the Mix Brothers and used the calendar movement in a shelf clock they were selling the same year, named simply,
“Parlor”. You could buy the clock with or without a
calendar. The excellent 30.5” rosewood case was
designed with two large columns on the side, one
door, and three glasses. I was about to say the case
was perfect but I found one chip about the size of a
match head. This case has a very good label and a
key locking door with key. The door is beveled all
around and the trim around all three glasses is beveled. Every part of the case is slanted and angled
making a very attractive design. The running movement is 8 day, lyre shaped, signed, and running with two large iron
weights for power. Original dial pans, top time dial repainted many
years ago, calendar dial is original. The calendar movement, roller
papers, pendulum, coil gong, and hands, all are original or period.
Overall in very good condition and a good example of their earliest
calendar clocks. This is a keeper, and I am tempted. But how can I
down size if I keep on keeping clocks. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 102; LyCalendar, page 258. $1200-$1500.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. walnut City Series clock,
“Greek V.P.”, ca 1879. Walnut case is 24” high, has
all its original wood parts including a pedestal with
urn on the top. One of the cleanest clocks I have
encountered. If you did not know better you could
argue it is new. It has hardly any smoke inside, outside, underneath, or on the backboard. Nickel accessories are polished, including the screw heads. There
are nickel dial rings, nickel bell, and a nickel pendulum rod. The original brass ST pendulum has an embossed emblem in the center with the letters, “STCCo”. It has been
soldered around the edge to keep the two pieces of the pendulum
together. I would think glue would have been better. Deluxe 8 day
lyre movement is clean, signed “ST” and “Seth Thomas Clock Co. /
Thomaston, Conn.” It strikes the nickel bell on the hours. This clock
also has an alarm movement and it also rings on the nickel bell. The
original dial is signed, hands may or may not be original. Complete
black label inside and is near perfect. If you like your clocks clean,
you will not find a cleaner one. This model is uncommon and definitely uncommon to find one that is near perfect. Almost makes me
want to collect City Series clocks again. Ly-Seth Thomas #545. $400$600.

New Haven Clock Co. 30 day calendar clock,
“Rutland”, ca 1914. Solid mahogany case is 48” high
and almost 20” wide at the top. Great original finish,
some light crazing has a few flakes in places. If you
want it completely original you can live with the
crazing but if you want it showy you will need to
clean and rub, or maybe completely remove the
crazing. It is a typical NH case, rather plain. It has
some applied wood pieces top and bottom otherwise just very simple jig saw work. Door latch on the
side and a good glass in the door. Original signed
dials, correct old hands, nickeled dial rings, brass
pendulum, and correct beat scale. Remember it is a
30 day running clock, does not strike, but is double
wind with a seconds dial. Ly-Calendar, page 210. $650-$1000.

cover over the back opening to the movement. Beveled

been refurbished. You can see the outline of the original gesso at
edges of refurbished splat. The movement, as advertised on the

latched on the side. Both glasses are original, pendulum is correct as are the hands. The dial is undoubtedly a signed replacement. Just too nice to be original.

found in Ken Roberts and Snowden Taylor’s book,
“Eli Terry and the Connecticut Shelf Clock”, Second
Edition, pages 294-300. This column and splat mahogany veneered case is only 32” high, and the columns and splat has good stenciling. The case has
been rubbed to give a nice appearance without taking off any finish. It has the original wood dial that is
still very nice. The top glass is original and has a corner break and
the bottom glass is a replacement. There is a complete paper label
inside. There is no pendulum. The hands, coil gong, weights, and
other accessories are period and probably original. The door has a
brass escutcheon, working lock, with no key. A very nice early wood
movement clock that is complete, original, but the movement and
weight cords should be checked before putting into operation. The
label says it has brass bushings. $200-$300.

hands, and the glasses all look to be original to this
clock. The movement is 8 day, strikes on a wire bell,

would be a keeper. Ly-Gilbert #196. $200-$300.

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 door key. Inside is a wood dial, period hands,
long drop 30 hour wood movement, weight cords on

place it is 22.5 inches high, which is the same size as
the original Ansonia mirror clock. The decorations
around the mirror are hand carved leaves and birds,
also like the originals. The wood has a gloss finish.
The swing arm is identical to the originals except the
movement is not signed and the swing arm has a
round top and bottom and not flat like the originals. It is running. LyAnsonia #3008. $400-$600.

Gustav Becker 2 weight Vienna Regulator, ca 1877. The

modern case. We must assume it is a marriage. The
movement is clean and running, striking half hours on
a coil gong attached to the movement. The pendulum
stick attaches to a mounting plate, which is typical. The
brass bob and black painted wood stick are both very
nice as is the two piece porcelain dial, the old hands,
and brass pulleys. The dark walnut case is 34.5 inches
tall, plain with no frills. $100-$200.

and certainly the backboard is. The bottom-most
piece of the base may be a replacement, and we
can’t be sure about the top pieces. The inside is
covered in black flock paper, there are side glasses
and a front glass that is modern, but in the appropriate Welch style, and there is a Welch-style sandwich glass pendulum. The clock is running and
striking a brass bell on the hour and half-hour, but
the strike spring does not fully wind and the strike
is erratic. It’s a nice looking clock, but not for the
purist.

Normally you only see the jewels on their very expensive crystal regulators. This clock is near 11 inches tall, polished brass case with four beveled glasses and two hinged doors. There are no corner chips
on the glasses and all the jewels are present in the
sash and pendulum. That is very unusual. The two
piece porcelain dial is signed and I see a hairline on the inner dial.

New Haven “Crown”, ca. 1890. This model is not found in Ly’s book
on New Haven clocks, but the label on the back of the clock clearly
identifies it. The case is walnut, refinished nicely, 27 inches in length.
There are a few small issues – a repair of some sort
on the lower left, and the bottom edge of the round
decoration at the bottom right is missing. The leveling tube is missing from its holder at the bottom
and there should be a thermometer tacked to the
center top piece. The glossy paper dial is a signed
replacement, the front glass is undecorated but is
old. A decorated glass can be purchased from TimeSavers for about $15, should you desire to get fancy.
The signed 8-day movement is running and striking
on the hour.

“Ansonia Brass and Copper Co. / Ansonia, Conn.”,

Coca Cola started up in 1886, so doubt this advertising is original. The “Sold Here” on the bottom glass
appears to be original, the paper dial is doubtful.
The 26 inch high walnut case is very dark, retaining
all the original finish and accumulated smoke
picked up over the years. The latches are correct,
inside is a very nice old paper label and a correct
pendulum bob. The 8 day movement is running and
striking a coil gong. Ly-Ansonia, page 168. $300-$450.

Seth Thomas “Globe”, ca. 1907. The mahogany case
is 31 inches long with a painted metal dial and the
designation “No. 48”, suggesting it may have come
from a school. There are also remnants of an ST
signature on the dial, and a label inside, very yellowed. The dial has been touched up at the upper
right, and the lettering at the bottom has been
touched up. Both glasses are old. The movement is
correct, No. 41 as shown on page 979 of Ly’s second
volume on Seth Thomas clocks. It is running effortlessly, keeping time. A very original example of this reliable clock.

Seth Thomas “Beta”, ca. 1896. Porcelain clocks from
Seth Thomas are extremely uncommon, although
this is the second Beta we have had in the last two
years – and the second we have had in 40 years. It
stands 16 inches tall with a spring floral pattern on
the front and both sides. It is every bit as attractive
as the higher priced Ansonia porcelains that retail for
$600-$900. The cream-colored case shows only the
slightest crazing, mostly in the back, with no repairs,
damage or chips, and the gold highlighting is largely
intact. The porcelain dial is without issue and sits
behind a beveled glass in the French sash. The only shortcoming we
can find are the hands, which are not Seth Thomas issue. The
signed, 8-day round time and half-hour strike movement with an
external count wheel is running and striking as expected on a cathedral gong. The unusual pendulum is correct. The one we sold in
2015 went for $560. $400-$600.

$1100
Seth Thomas “Hecla”, ca. 1885. One of three Seth Thomas clocks
with a triple wind for time, quarter-hour strike on
two nested bells, and hour count on a cathedral
gong. This one is in walnut, possibly the original
finish, which could use a bit of rejuvenation. The dial
has been repainted and looks good, but if you look
closely you’ll see some scratch marks on the surface.
The hands are ST hands, but recent replacements,
the glass is original. There is a date on the back of
1885, barely visible. The clock is running and keeping time, striking nicely every 15 minutes. If you

E.N. Welch “Cary V.P.”, ca. 1880. Unfortunately, this is not what it
appears. The movement is not the expected “Patti” movement,
but instead an unsigned imported modern movement. The dial pan
is new, with a paper dial made to look aged. And the hands are not
Welch hands. On the other hand, the case appears to be legitimate,

on these clocks just didn’t hold up over 100 years, and so you almost
always see them repainted. It would look better if it was replated,
and if you care to spend the money we can suggest a replating business that we have used. No recent sales that we can find. $250$400.

here. We sold one in May of 2014 for $1427. $1200-$1500.

Ansonia “Sorrento”, ca. 1914. A black enameled cast iron mantel
clock from Ansonia. The enamel is in excellent shape with just a few
small chips, flea bites really. Some of the
gold paint in the incising has been lost, particularly around the dial, and the metal ornaments on either side have been repainted
nicely. The brass bezel holds a convex glass
over a paper dial that could stand to be replaced. The hands are correct. The clock is
running and striking a gong on the hour and half-hour. $75-$150.

Unknown 8-day weight-driven clock, ca. 1875.
We think this is a “one-off”; a clock assembled
by a good cabinet maker in the mid to late
1800’s. The pinned brass, weight-driven movement is unsigned, but experts tell us it is an
Ansonia movement. There are shadows of a
label on the backboard inside, but we think it,
along with the seatboard and rails and perhaps
the movement, are taken from another clock,
possibly an OG. This clock is 8-day weightdriven OG-size, 29.75 inches high. There are
some very nice flat pillars in burled walnut on both sides and a carving centered above the door. Note that the door opens on the
right. The metal dial does not quite fit the case, leaving a gap at the
bottom above the door crosspiece. The upper glass is a newer replacement, while the lower glass is old and looks to have never
been out of the door. The monochrome decalcomania image is of
Croton Fountain in New York City, built in honor of the Croton Aqueduct which brought fresh water to Manhattan. The image is in remarkably good shape. The clock is running and striking when 8-lb
weights are hung. To hold down the cost we are not including
weights with the clock, but you can purchase the weights shown for
$50 if you win the clock. $150-$250.
407.
$150
Ansonia “Angelo”, ca. 1880. This 12.5-inch high
enameled cast iron clock has been repainted,
both the black and the gold incising. The trim
molding on either side has been featherpainted in red, and may be artistic license. It
holds a signed 8-day movement that strikes a
bell on the hour. It is running and striking. No
sales records for this clock that we can find, and we paid more than
our asking price. $150-$250.
408.
$175
New Haven “Inglewood” chime clock, ca. 1929. A solid mahogany
cabinet, 14.5 inches high (the book calls for a 12.5-inch cabinet) that
plays Westminster chimes on the quarter hours and
strikes the hours on five rods. The strike and chime
are quite nice, resonating in a large case with a fabric-covered back door. The case is clean with no
chips or scrapes, but there is an area of discoloration
on the left side. The movement and silvered dial are
signed, but there is no label. The glass is convex.
The clock is running and chiming as expected. Two
sales in the last couple of years, $110 and $170 at
Schmitt’s. $175-$225.

Southern Calendar Clock Co. “Fashion No. 4”, 1875
-1889. Solid walnut, refinished of late, 32 inches
high with center finial. Finials likely replacements,
well matched. The dials are no doubt original
paint, with some flaking, and some stains of indeterminate nature on the calendar dial. Hands are
correct; the day and month rollers are yellowed
but readable, and no doubt original. Old glass,
good Fashion gold label, short drop pendulum
with Seth Thomas-style damascene pattern. The
8 day time-and-strike movement is clean and
signed “MANUF’D BY THE SETH THOMAS CLOCK CO. THOMASTON
CT SOLELY FOR THE SOUTHERN CALENDAR CLOCK CO. ST. LOUIS
MO.” along with some patent dates. The time and calendar movements are correct and shown on pages 276 and 278 of Ly’s book
“Calendar Clocks”. The clock is running, keeping time, striking on
the brass bell, and the calendar is advancing. A long-necked key is
included. Don Hellstern tells me this is a late version of the No. 4
movement. Average sale price on eBay for Fashion No. 4 clocks
over the last several years is $1422. $1400-$1800.

GE Telechron “The Somerset”, 1950-1953. Clearly designed to recall
the “OG” clocks of earlier years, with a painted glass tablet below
the dial in a 10-inch dark wood case with ogee molding. The dial cover is convex glass. The clock includes the “red dot” on the dial that indicates that
power has failed, letting you know that the time isn’t
correct – no battery back-up here. When you reset
the time the red dot flips over to white. This guy is
running and keeping time. $20-$50 on eBay.

Kroeber “Arabia”, ca. 1884. This is a big metal-case clock, not quite
14 inches high and 16.5 inches wide at the base. It is spelter, here
repainted both inside and out. The dial is
porcelain, signed, the hour hand is correct, the
minute hand a reasonable replacement. The
glass is beveled. The 8-day time-and-strike
movement does not match the one shown in
Ly’s book on Kroeber clocks and is unsigned. It
has an unusual pattern imprinted into the back
side, and I suspect it is a foreign-made replacement. It is dirty and will not run for more than a short while; a thorough cleaning would appear to be in order. The original brass finish

E. Howard Banjo No. 5, ca. 1874. The smallest of the
Howard banjos at 29 inches high, in “well-seasoned
hardwood, stained in imitation of rosewood, and
polished. For use in dwelling-houses, offices and
rooms, they are well adapted.” This clock retains
the rosewood staining quite nicely; all three glasses
are old, possibly repainted, possibly rebacked.
There is some lifting of the black background paint
in the throat section. The dial was probably repainted some time ago as it shows age. The hands are
35
gilt dial, with fancy cut hands. It holds an 8-day time-and-strike Ansonia movement, striking on the hour and half-hour. We haven’t
gotten it running, but it is quite dirty and should be functional after
a cleaning. A very sharp-looking clock, the dial is pristine and overall
it resembles an English bracket clock. $125-$250.
correct. The movement is signed and running, driven by an appropriate weight. There is a weight shield, a pendulum tie-down, and
an instruction label on the bottom. The damascened pendulum bob
is old, the pendulum stick may be new. There are screws securing
the base to the case where the weight may have knocked it off. All
in all a better than average example particularly with regard to the
grain painted finish, which is often worn off. Average sale price on
eBay for Howard No. 5 banjos over the last several years is $1420.
$1400-$1800.

Seth Thomas “Regulator No. 1”, ca. 1875. This early
No. 1 has an S. B. Terry-style round, pinned movement, an original pendulum stick with a repainted
gold finish (broken in half and repaired nicely), the
original painted dial in very good condition, and
both original glasses. The lower glass has some loss
in the black background. The rosewood veneer is in
excellent shape, with some minor lifting on the
base. The weight shield has a good label from
Thomaston. The pendulum bob is smooth, the minute hand appears to be a replacement. The crosspiece support behind the dial is missing (not uncommon; you can
see the three holes in the frame where it would have been screwed
down) and so the two screw holes in the dial on either side of the
seconds bit have nothing to anchor into. That is the only shortcoming we can find. We had our ace repairman clean the movement
and polish the pivots, and it is running and keeping good time. A
very original example, 34 inches long. Includes a crank. $1200$1500.

Ansonia “Egyptian, Plain”, ca. 1874. The “Egyptian, Plain” metal
case clock (Ly, Ansonia Clocks & Watches, p. 370)
was shown in Ansonia catalogs from 1874, at
which time the company was known as the Ansonia Brass & Copper Co. (1869-1877). There is no
label on this clock, but the movement is signed
“Ansonia Clock Co. | Ansonia, Conn USA” which
existed both prior (1850-1854) to and after (18771884) AB&C Co. dissolved. These types of metal
case clocks became popular in the 1870’s, so it is likely that this
clock is from roughly 1874 to 1884. The spelter case has been repainted with black inset trim. The paper dial is old, the hands new
and adapted to fit, the glass is new. The 8-day time-and-strike
movement is running, keeping time, and striking on a wire gong.
No sales records that we can find. $75-$150.

Gilbert hooded novelty clock, ca. 1928. A dark wood case
with stenciled polychrome designs and flowers, 19 inches
high. The front is signed “Gilbert” below the VI, and
“Eight Day” below the XII. The hands are polished brass,
the pendulum rod is brass. On the back is an instruction
label from The Merchants Advertising Co., Adrian, Mich.
Clock is running and keeping time. $35-$50.

$125
Seth Thomas Column, ca. 1870. Sometimes called
the Column Porthole, this little 8-day clock is only 16
inches tall and fits on almost any shelf. A classic
model, almost always seen as here with a mirror in
the middle, black painted columns with gold leaf
capitals and bases, and gold leaf trim around the
glasses. The rosewood veneer is better than average, with just one missing piece on the right foot;
the case could use a coat of wax. The glasses are old, including the
mirror, the metal dial has been repainted, the hands are correct.
The 8-day Seth Thomas lyre movement, signed from Plymouth, retains its winding stops and is running and striking on a wire gong as
expected. There is a good Thomaston label inside. Nothing to complain about here, a popular clock from the late 1800’s. $150-$200.

Atkins & Downs 8-day wooden works Column &
Splat, 1831-1832. Rollin and Irenus Atkins worked
with Anson Downs for just a year, making wooden
works clock movements for George Mitchell, a
New England merchandiser. A variety of casemakers made the cases, including Chauncey Jerome
and Elias Ingraham. Mitchell ended his clockselling business in 1832 but continued a life-long
relationship with the Atkins brothers, as he married their sister. This clock stands 34.5 inches high
with good mahogany veneer and faint original
stenciling on the half-columns and splat. The veneer on the door
section separating the upper glass and mirror is a poorly matched
replacement, and the ivory escutcheon is lost; so is the locking
mechanism and the key. The upper glass is original with original
putty, the mirror is a more recent replacement. The dial board is old
but in good shape, with some sootiness remaining. The hands look
original and there is a nice label inside. The movement is missing a
tooth or two, and has numerous repairs. We did not test it. There
are two 7-lb weights should you feel emboldened. The return on
the top right is missing. $250-$500.

Sessions “Sentinel”, 1910. A 24-inch by 16.5-inch
case in oak, dark with age, would clean up nicely
with Kotton Klenser if desired. Glass is old, original
paint I think, metal dial pan with original paint. Correct hands. Time-only, 8-day spring-driven movement is signed, looks original, and is running and
keeping time. Used to be a label on the back. Couple of sales on eBay over the last several years at
$178 and $192. $160-$200.

Ansonia “Rialto”, ca. 1907. Here’s a clock I’m not sure
we’ve seen before, and there are no sales records
that we can find. The clock is shown on page 255 of
Ly’s book on Ansonia clocks; it is one of a set of six
that have fancy metal dials that resemble that of tallcase clock. Indeed, we don’t see a sales record in the
Antique Clocks Price Guide for any of the five other
similar models. The book says it is finished in a dark
wood or oak, and that looks about right; 16 inches high, silvered and

Briggs Rotary Unknown No. 3, ca. 1875. Most of these cute little
clocks were manufactured by E. N. Welch in the 1870’s; they are
easily identified by the machine screws that hold the plates to the
base, as opposed to pins on earlier models. They stand 6.25 inches
36
tall without the dome; 2oth century reproductions are
7 inches tall. This is a Welch model with a painted
base, very worn and chipped, and a worn original paper dial. It is missing the winding wheel from the bottom but can be wound with a standard clock key. It
has an appropriate glass dome. The clock is running
but very dirty, not having been run for many years.
Watch the short video here. We sold one in May 2015
for $394. $200-$400.

Chelsea “Presidential Clock” Ship’s Bell, 1980present. Look carefully, this is not the clock you
might think – it holds an AA battery-powered
German quartz movement – by design. It’s the
standard Chelsea brass housing, glass and 4.5inch dial, and weighs over 6 lb. It sits in a mahogany base, on the back of which there is a small
metal plaque that says “Thank you for 25 years of service.” You can
buy this same clock from the Chelsea Clock Company today for
$495. It is running and keeping time, as you might expect. $250$400.

Bloomer & Sperry “Rosewood and Mahogany Pillar Clock”, 18451846. Bloomer and Sperry sold clocks out of New York for just two
years and there are only two clocks listed under
them in the Antique Clocks Price Guide, both 4column clocks like this one. The Fenn-style glass is
the main attraction here, and the upper glass is
probably also original. The paint on the black trim
pieces, sides, and columns is certainly very old, and
may be original as well. The veneer is mahogany in
good shape, with two small strips missing across
the front below the door. The metal dial is period
but probably not original. The 30-hour time-andstrike, weight-driven movement is signed
“Chauncey Jerome, New Haven” and is running and striking reliably.
The thin weights are no doubt original, and there is a good paper
label inside. It stands 26 inches tall. This particular collector was on
a mission to collect as many maker labels as possible from the
1800’s, and so this clock represented a fairly rare example from this
duo. We estimate $175-$275.

Jefferson Electric Co. “Suspense”, ca. 1958. This is one of the harder
-to-find Jefferson “mystery clocks”. Like the other
“Golden” clocks, it is zinc alloy plated in 24 kt gold.
It stands 13.25 inches high, bigger than the other
Jefferson mystery clocks. The electric motor is at
the top and it turns a gold chain that slowly rotates
the Plexiglas dial. The minute hand moves with the
dial, the hour hand is geared down from that. The
hours are marked in gold on the back glass. We put
a new motor in and it is running and keeping time
without issue. The finish is very good, but not perfect, with some wear showing in places if you look. It is about the
best Suspense we have seen. You can read more about these clocks
on Roger Russell’s webpage. Two Suspense clocks in similar condition sold on eBay in 2015 for $265 and $355.

$430
Wm. Gilbert “Salisbury”, ca. 1900. You won’t find this
clock in Ly’s book on Gilbert clocks but it is clearly labeled “Salisbury | Wm L Gilbert Clock Co.” on the back.
There is also one sales record in the Antique Clocks
Price Guide, for $650 at Schmitt’s in 2009. Clearly an
uncommon clock. The 41-inch walnut case is in fine
shape, possibly with the original finish or a very old
refinish. There are lots of carvings on the case and everything looks original, from the case to the dial to the
glass, 8-day time-and-strike signed movement, pendulum stick and bob. We replaced the badly worn paper dial. The
glass is old but the silver stencil shows virtually no wear; it may be a
re-stencil. The clock is running, keeping time, and striking on the
hour and half-hour on the cathedral gong. $450-$600.

Mastercrafters Model 344 “Waterfall” electric motion clock, ca. 1950’s. A marbleized plastic case, 11
inches high, with a metal backboard and a foil dial
behind a convex glass. Inside is a 7-watt night-light
bulb and a round plastic cylinder with designs on it;
it rotates continuously and the light sits in the middle, projecting the patterns on the waterfall picture
on the front of the clock. As it turns it looks like
the waterfall is flowing. You get it – how cool!
Well, it was in the 1950’s if you were a kid. No alarm, just time. It is
running, the clock is working and the wheel is turning, a bit noisy
and a bit unreliably because the fittings and gears are worn. The
light works, there is a button on the back to turn it on and off. The
pine trees on the front have light blue trim, evidently depicting
snow (it’s not just wear). I thought maybe there was a piece of trim
missing around the dial, but all the ones I find online have the same
design. There are also some that have green pine trees. These sell
on eBay for $35-$50 when running.

Seth Thomas Sonora Chime No. 11, ca. 1921. This 13.75-inch dark mahogany cabinet case holds an 8-day time-and-strike movement with
a chime movement that strikes Westminster chimes on the quarter
hours on four “perfectly tuned rods”. It should also
count the hours by striking all four rods, but the hour
strike is recalcitrant and will require some adjustment. There is a silvered dial and convex glass; the
dial shows some wear. It appears that someone
painted the ceiling without removing the clock from
the mantel, resulting in some white paint specks on
the top of the case. They’re not noticeable, and
shouldn’t be hard to remove if they bother you. In
fact, the entire case would benefit from refinishing. The clock is
running and keeping time, and chiming on cue. Seth Thomas four
rod chimes sell on eBay for $150-$250.

Mastercrafters Model 119 “Swinging Girl” electric motion clock, ca.
1950’s. A marbleized brown plastic case in like-new condition, 10.5
inches high, with a metal backboard and a foil dial behind a convex
glass. The girl sits on a swing and swings forward and
back when the clock is plugged in. The clock is running and girl is swinging – how cute! There is a 7-watt
night-light bulb that lights up the interior, controlled
by a slightly balky switch. We don’t believe the girl
had bathed in 50 years, so we scrubbed her up. The
clock movement is a little bit sticky, but running.
There is a good label on the back. These guys sell for
anywhere from $20 to $100 on eBay.

a signed Lux movement but no label and cannot be found in Lux
clock listings. It’s a 0ne-day, and running, but the hands slip. It is 6
inches wide and 3.5 inches high. The clock
on the right is the Seth Thomas “Bengal”,
ca. 1940, an 8-day backwind lever movement that is running and keeping time. It is
4 inches high and 5 inches wide, in mahogany with holly-wood interleaves (page 527 of Ly, Seth Thomas Clocks
and Movements, Vol. 2). Metal dials on both. $69-$75.

Seth Thomas OG, ca 1870. Ok, we know OG clocks
are a dime-a-dozen, but how often do you see one
with an American Indian on the glass? Granted, this
Native American looks like a European in Native
American headdress and clothing, but it’s still pretty
cool. We looked online to see if this was a reproduction of a known portrait of a famous Indian
Chief or warrior, but no luck. The mahogany veneer
on the front is in nice shape with only one noticeable repair to the
top left corner of the door; there is no veneer on the sides or top, as
was typical. Both glasses are old, almost certainly original, held in
by square-head nails. The metal dial has the ST logo and there is a
good Thomaston label inside. The 30-hour weight-driven movement is signed (Thomaston) and running and striking as required.

Telechron “Electroalarm”, 1929-31. This is one of the most popular
Telechrons, put into production after General Electric bought Telechron. The brown plastic bakelite
case is in excellent condition, no chips, breaks, or
scratches. The gold metal decorative strips in front
are present and original, as is the dial and hands.
The clock is running – BUT – you can’t set the time.
The knob for moving the hands is frozen, so the only
way to get it to show the correct time is to start it at
the time showing. I think there is also a problem with the powerloss indicator (the red dot) as the handle is loose. We did not test
the alarm. The light bulb at the top of the dial lights when turned
on. The power cord is an old replacement; the glass over the dial
should have a mirror finish around the rim. Since the clock runs, if
you are good with these things it seems you ought to be able to free
the hand-set shaft and make this clock fully functional. It stands 7.5
inches high. The average sale price for these clocks on eBay over
the last few years is $297.

Friedrich Mauthe Vienna. The spring-driven movement for this small Vienna is probably early twentieth century. It has a D.R.P. (Deutsche Reich Patent)
number, the FMS (Friedrich Mauthe Schwenningen)
logo, and a German eagle logo. I am less sure about
the age of the case, which appears to be late twentieth century; the Mauthe Company was in business
until 1976. The case length, from finial tip to tip, is
about 31 inches. The veneer is in nice shape; there
are two side glasses. The 8-day movement is running
and striking a wire gong on the hour and half-hour.
A nice little Vienna at a nice price. $200-$400.

Wm. Gilbert “El Paso” Mission Oak cabinet
clock, ca. 1910. This cabinet clock is 10.75 inches tall, 20 inches wide at base, in the classic
Golden Oak Finish with “Cathedral Art Glass
side panels behind perforated metal overlays”.
Polished gilt hands show some wear, metal dial numerals appear to
have been repainted. Has an 8-day movement, unsigned, that
strikes a standing cathedral gong on the hour and half-hour. Movement is running, striking, and keeping time. The backboard is a replacement, no label. $100-$150.

French carriage for Wanamaker, ca. 1900. John Wanamaker opened
the first department store in Philadelphia in 1875 and later expanded to New York, London, and Paris. This 5.75-inch corniche carriage
clock has a platform escapement, five beveled glasses, a clean
porcelain dial with Arabic numerals signed “FRANCE”, and is signed
on the back of the movement “JOHN WANAMAKER
PHILADEPHIA – NEW YORK – PARIS” with “MADE IN
FRANCE” at the bottom. It winds in back with a carriage key (not included, buy at TimeSavers). It is running and keeping good time. Case could use some
polish; there is a bit of oxidation at the top right edge
which would polish off I think. Wanamaker must have
imported these clocks by the boatload as they are
fairly common, currently selling for $50-$150.

Lux “Good Luck Horseshoe” clock, ca. 1939. A bright

dial. Running and keeping time, one day backwind.
All the knobs and screws are in place, the alarm rings
should you need it. Only very slight pitting to the finish, no major flaws. Who doesn’t need one of these? We sold two
in May for $45 each. $50-$75 on eBay.

George Mitchell Bronze Looking Glass, ca. 18251832. Mitchell was in the clock business from 1821
to 1832, buying movements from Ephraim Downs
and others, and employed Chauncey Jerome, the
originator of the bronze looking glass clock in 1825.
This clock, likely built by Jerome, is 35 inches high
and 16.5 inches wide, with what would appear to
be the original stenciling and finish, the original dial
(with much wear), and the original upper glass. I
suspect the mirror is a 1900’s replacement. There
is a modest veneer chip on the back right side, otherwise it is all
complete, and probably original. The 30-hr “groaner” movement is
complete and I see no missing teeth, although I see one small repair
on the great wheel. We can get the strike side to run and strike, but
the time side only runs for a few minutes. Nonetheless, it does not
jam, so probably will run with some attention. Square “groaner”
weights are included. The bronze looking glass clock, the clock that
introduced interchangeable parts manufacturing. $300-$400.

United Clock Co. “Lucky” electric clock, 1949. A chrome horseshoe
38
on a stepped wooden base holding an electric clock,
marked “Lucky” at the top of the horseshoe. The
stamped manufacture date inside is 1949. The cord
and plug are new; the clock is running and keeping
time, 9 inches tall and 9.5 inches wide. $35-$75.
round pinned movement seen in Ansonia miniature steeple clocks
(see page 440 of Ly’s book); it is signed “Ansonia Clock / Ansonia
Conn USA”, dating it to either 1850-1854 or 1877-1884. It is running,
one day, time only, and cute as a button. No sales records that we
can find. $70-$150.

British United Clock Co. “Horseshoe & Stirrup”. A
nickel stirrup surrounding a brass horseshoe with
nickel nail heads, standing 6.25 inches tall. Porcelain
dial with gold inset. The BUCC logo is on the back of
the horseshoe and the 8-day, double-wind movement
is signed. The knob to set the hands and one of the
two winding keys are missing, as is the leather strap that goes
through the shoe and stirrup. Otherwise a nice looking clock that is
running, a bit fast. $25-$50.

Ansonia Brass & Copper Co. “Venetian”, 1869-1877. This clock has
been beautifully refurbished with new gilding on the
columns and a perfect finish on the rosewood veneer. There are very few chips to the veneer. Both
glasses are old with the tablet in outstanding condition, depicting two camel riders at an oasis. The case
is 18 inches high and has the better part of the Ansonia Brass & Copper Company label inside. The original
zinc dial has been repainted and the hands are old
and as shown in the catalog drawing (page 438 of
Ly’s book on Ansonia clocks). The 8-day time and strike movement
is signed “A. B. & C. Co / Ansonia Conn USA” and is running and
striking as required; at least one repair shows, and the strike side
would benefit from attention. This is as pretty a round top as you
will find, with an uncommon label and great originality. $100-$200.

Wm. Gilbert “No. 3036” store clock, ca. 1910. Not
shown in Ly’s book on Gilbert clocks but clearly labeled on the back, and very similar to the Gilbert
“University” model (page 153 of Ly’s book). It is 38
inches in height with a very nice refinish on the oak
case. Both glasses are old and the stencil and trim
paint is in excellent shape. The paper dial shows considerable foxing and the pendulum bob has a rusty
spot on the bottom. There is an unsigned 8-day timeonly movement inside and it is running and keeping time. $225-$325.

Penwood “Numechron”, 1946. Penwood Electric began in the
1930’s and were prolific manufacturers of digital (in the pre-digital
age) clocks. The name Numechron refers to
all their digital clocks (they made timers and
other devices as well). No model name or
number is shown on this clock, but the manufacture date appears to be stamped on the
bottom as 5-46. The brown marbleized Bakelite case is in perfect condition with no cracks, scrapes, or missing
corners. It is running and keeping time nicely. A nice overview of
Numechron clocks can be found here. These clocks sell on eBay for
$50-$100.

Seikosha art deco box clock. Seikosha was formed in
1892 in Tokyo and manufactured clocks and later, watches (Seiko) to the present day. I can’t find a way to date
their clocks, but the art deco appearance of this clock
and wear to the case would seem to date it to the earlytwentieth century. Note that the wood slat pattern in
front right would seem to depict a tuning fork, or more
likely a Japanese character. There are several types of wood used
and the upper glass is beveled. The painted metal dial is signed and
the movement has the Seikosha logo, an ‘S’ in a diamond in a circle
(also seen at the top of the dial); it has some chipping on the corners. The 15-inch case is in reasonable shape but could use a coat of
wax. The clock is running, striking, and keeping time. $60-$100.
447.
$75
Waltham round-top cabinet, ca. 1920. A 12.5-inch tall
mahogany case with blond wood inlays on the front
and sides holding an 8-day time-and-strike movement
with a platform escapement, running, striking on the
hour and half-hour, and keeping time. I don’t see a
signature or serial number on the movement but it
matches the movements seen in other examples of
this clock. Signed silvered dial shows some wear up close. A convex
beveled glass in the bezel, fancy hands. Keeps very accurate time.
The case needs to be refinished to bring out the rich mahogany color. One sold at Schmitt’s in 2011 for $190. $90-$180.

Plymouth “Style 5614” wall clock, ca. 1936. Plymouth Clocks was a
Division of Seth Thomas. Advertised as “A modestly
priced wall clock for the office, store, factory, and
school.” The “white wood” (probably poplar) is
stained in a “rich mahogany”, the door has a mirror in
the lower panel with the pendulum visible through
the rectangular window. A signed lacquered metal
dial. The movement is unsigned, running 8 days, time
only. Just over 14.5 inches tall. All in all in excellent
shape, running and keeping time. $60-$120.

Ithaca “Shelf Steeple”, ca. 1870. We knew this was
an uncommon Ithaca, but were surprised to find that
there are no sales records in the Antique Clocks Price
Guide over the last 15 years – for either the shelf or
the hanging version. It stands 25 inches tall with the
finial (which is correct and no doubt original) in a
dark walnut case. I would guess everything is original including the glass, with the possible exception
of the upper paper dial. The fretwork shows a couple of breaks that have been repaired acceptably,
and all the parts are there. Note that there is an alarm at the bottom of the case, with the winding port at the lower left. The hands
are correct, there is a key (not signed), and it is running, keeping
444.
$70
Ansonia peaked cottage, ca. 1880. This small clock is
not shown in Ly’s book on Ansonia clocks. It is 10
inches high with a 3.25-inch chapter ring on a paper
replacement dial; there is no label, inside or on the
back. There is rosewood veneer around the base and
door frame; the sides and top are not veneered. The
glass is old, with bubbles. This clock has an unusual
39
time, and the calendar is advancing. That’s it; this is about as good
as it gets. We’d estimate $1200-$2500, based on prices of other
uncommon Ithacas.
462.
$875
National Calendar Clock Co. “Fashion”, ca. 1890. It has been at least
a decade since we have had a National Calendar Fashion clock for
sale. This one is as original as they come, and has 120 years of soot
and grime covering the walnut case. We cleaned the
enameled black dials and polished the hands but did
not clean the signed New Haven 8-day movement or
hook up the wire that extends from the upper movement to the simple calendar mechanism on the lower dial. Hooking up the calendar is not complicated
but does require some dexterity and probably the
removal of the center segment of the dial board
(held in by screws) to provide access. The clock is
running, not efficiently as the movement is dirty, and
striking the cathedral gong on the hour and halfhour. The calendar advances easily when tripped by hand. The dial
board has several glued cracks top and bottom there are some glue
repairs evident on the case. It is, as we say, covered in grime but
has no major losses or damage other than a few nicks and bumps. It
would clean up nicely if you want to put in the effort (you should,
this guy appears to have never been cleaned). The glass is original
with a good Fashion stencil. The pendulum bob and hanger are not
original, the only real flaw we can find. It stands 32 inches tall with
the finial (all finials are original). You can find this clock on page 73
of Ly’s book on New Haven clocks. Only one recent sale in the Antique Clocks Price Guide: $1300 at Schmitt’s last May (2016). $1000$1500.

$225
E. Ingraham “Western Union” store clock, ca. 1911. A
36-inch refinished oak case with a new upper glass
and the original lower glass, with some wear to the
gold stencil. The dial pan and paper dial were replaced some time ago; the old hands have been repainted. The time-only 8-day movement is signed and
running. There is most of a label on the back. The
average sale price for this model clock on eBay over
the last few years is $225.

Ansonia Brass and Copper Co. shelf clock, 1869-1877. This large, 8day, weight-driven shelf clock was made both
with and without a simple calendar movement.
The rosewood-veneered case is 33 inches tall
and 19.5 inches wide, with an 11-inch dial. There
are a few nicks, scrapes, and chips to the case,
but overall it is in great shape. Both drop finials
are present, and one appears to be made from
rosewood. One board has been replaced underneath the clock, but the rest appears original, including the backboard with the large
Ansonia label and the picture of the Ansonia
Clock Factory in Ansonia CT. Both glasses are
old and have been rebacked, and the parrots
on the fancy reverse painting carefully touched up. The brass dial
pan is new and newly painted, but the hands are old and correct to
style. The signed Ansonia brass movement matches those seen in
other examples of this clock, and is running and striking appropriately. The 6.5-lb weights are new stock. Hard to imagine that you
could find a cleaner and prettier example of this impressive clock.
Schmitt’s sold one in May of 2011 for $600. $500-$800.

$950
Southern Calendar Clock Co. “Fashion No. 2”, 1878.
The label on the door says this clock was set to run
on June 1, 1878. The walnut-veneered case has been
refinished and is in excellent shape, with just a few
chips along the top edge and a bump or two on the
base. Both glasses are old, both painted metal dials
are new; the finials are new and the calendar rollers
are old, probably original, stained with oil. There are
two nice labels inside. The clean Seth Thomas-signed
8-day movement is running and the calendar is advancing. This
model sells on eBay for from $700 to $1100.

French champlevé carriage, ca. 1900. Carriage clocks with a champlevé finish are not common. This one has fluted columns
on cylinder bases, five beveled glasses, champlevé panels top and bottom on all four sides, and an ornate front
panel of birds, flowers, and a butterfly, all with a green
enamel inlay. The dial is metal with a champlevé center
ring. The platform escapement movement is running
and keeping time. It winds in the back with a carriage
key (included), and is signed “MADE IN FRANCE”. It
stands 6-inches tall with the handle up. Slight tarnish. This same
clock sold in 1999 for $1400 at Schmitt’s.

$2250
Seth Thomas “Parlor Calendar No. 8”, 1887. This is a beautiful example of one of Seth Thomas’ double-dial calendar clocks from the
late 1800’s. The finish on the 27.5-inch walnut case
is old, possibly original, but very clean. No nicks or
scratches, all the finials look original. Both dials
have been repainted by The Dial House (signed on
back). The hands and calendar rollers are probably
original. The 8-day spring-driven movement is
signed, striking the hours on a cathedral gong, and
keeping time. The calendar day and date is advancing; we didn’t run it long enough to check the
month advancement. Three sales on the Antique
Clocks Price Guide in the last decade, averaging
just over $2000.

$650
Jeromes’ and Darrow 8-Day Clock. The mahogany
veneer case is just under 38 inches high with carved
half-columns. There is a wooden dial in nice shape
(although it has been secured to the support rails by
screws for a long time) and two old and correct
hands. The dial glass is old but may have been replaced, based on the newer (but still old) putty
holding it in place. The lower glass is also old and
40
rod chimes sell on eBay for $150-$250.
may never have been out of the door, based on the unusual rippled
wood strips holding it in place. It has been repainted, some time
ago, and is not signed. The center mirror is a twentieth century
replacement. There are numerous veneer repairs, some good,
some not so good, and some chips still waiting for repair. The
carved columns are in excellent shape. The large wood movement
will run for a few minutes when the 7.5-lb weights are hung; I see no
repairs or damage to the gears. The weights are compounded on
brass pulleys, hung on gut, and there is an old pressed pendulum
bob. There is even an old key to open the door latches. The tablet,
and the overall look of this clock are very nice, don’t you think?
$650-$900.

$250
French swinger on Moreau’s Cupid. This is a bronze or
bronze-coated statue of Auguste Moreau’s sculpture
of Cupid. In other examples the boy is holding an arrow in his right hand and the left hand is holding a
bow; here the left the hand holds the mount for the
ball and pendulum clock. The 15.5-inch statue and
marble base are in excellent shape with no damage or
wear, making me think they are not old (1970’s?); however, the movement inside the ball looks quite a bit
older than that and has had some repairs. The clock
and pendulum are also in very nice shape. The clock is
running. Nothing other than the statue is signed.
With the clock mounted it stands 19.5 inches high.
Includes a key. $250-$450.

Seth Thomas “Gramercy”, ca. 1925. This art-deco desk clock is 9
inches high in contrasting rosewood and a lighter
wood trim (holly-wood?). The gold metal dial notes
that it has a 4-jewel movement, backwind, time-only,
but we can’t get it running. The clock is not shown in
Ly’s two volumes on Seth Thomas clocks, but the
paper label on the bottom makes it clear that this
model is the Gramercy. A similar label is found on
other ST clocks from the 1920’s. No sales that we can find.

Cast iron blinker clock “Topsey”, ca. 1970? This is a darn good reproduction of the original Bradley & Hubbard “Topsey” blinker from
the 1860’s. It is about a quarter-inch shorter than
an original, at 16.25 inches, and the casting shows
just a bit less definition. More noticeable is the
dial, which lacks a bezel and cover glass, and lacks
the crescent opening for a fast/slow adjustment
lever. The paint colors are true to the originals and
look very old. Even the eyes look original from the
outside. Inside is a different story. The movement
is a late model lever spring with two crossed arrows and no signature, which I take to be West
German. The wire connection to the eyes, which
appear to be plastic, is quite clever and quite functional. The clock
is running easily, about a day on a wind, and the eyes move up and
down nicely. All in all this is the best Topsey reproduction I have
seen. An original in this condition would sell today for well over
$1000.
701.
$10
Dresser clock with alarm, signed, “Seth Thomas / Germany”. Metal case is 4 inches tall and has an easel stand
in back. The one day movement is running. It has a convex and beveled glass over the dial. All original and very
nice. $25-$50.

$90
Sessions “Plymouth”, ca. 1908. A 14-inch tall mahogany cabinet
with a satinwood inlay border on the front and an
inlay vine pattern below the dial. The dial is porcelain
behind a convex glass. No damage to the cabinet or
dial and the clean movement is running, keeping
time, and striking the half-hour on a bell and counting
the hours on a cathedral gong. Includes a Sessions
signed key. Very nice. $100-$150.

Sessions Clock Co. cabinet style mantel clock, “Puritan”,
ca 1910. The mahogany case is 13 inches tall, complete,
clean, and has no damage or problems. Complete label
on the hinged back door. Brass sash hold a convex glass
over the signed porcelain dial and correct hands. The 8
day movement is running and striking half hours on a
brass bell and hours on a Cathedral gong. Ly-Sessions #237. $50$100.

Seth Thomas Sonora Chime No. 11, ca. 1921. Like #429,
this 13.75-inch dark mahogany cabinet case holds an 8
-day time-and-strike movement with a chime movement that strikes Westminster chimes on the quarter
hours on four “perfectly tuned rods”, and strikes the
hour once on all four rods. There is a silvered dial in
very good shape under a convex glass. The case is
dark and alligatored and would benefit from refinishing. The clock
is running and keeping time, and chiming on cue. Seth Thomas four

Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Co., “Small Sharp Gothic”, or steeple clock, ca 1879. The 14 inch mahogany veneered
case is excellent, finials are perfect, case is clean and
polished, and the only demerit I would give it is some
wear around the door latch. Both glasses are good,
dial is a repaint, hands are correct, and inside is a complete label and an iron bell that the alarm rings on. The
movement is 30 hour with an alarm feature. Ly-Gilbert #1087. $50$100
702.

Lux Clock Mfg. Co. “Cuckoo Style”, ca 1937. A miniature
of the popular cuckoo clock. Bird bobs in and out of window as the pendulum swings. 30 hour Keywind movement. Molded wood case is 7.5 by 4.25 inches. $15-$25.
703.
$10
Lux Clock Mfg. Co. “Bulldog with Kittens”, ca 1930. Syroco case is 7 by 4 inches, painted brown, kittens were
originally made with heavy paper and attached to the
teeter-totter. These paper kittens are not original. $15$25.
41
neer flakes on the base, left finial like the right finial but
a lighter color, both finials tips are chipped. It has the
original door latch, good painted tablet, both glasses
are original, and complete label inside. The dial may
have been repainted long ago, alarm movement in the
base and it rings on a bell. The 8 day movement strikes
on a coil gong. A nice clock for this minimum. Ly-Welch,
page178. $50-$100.

$100
Ansonia Clock Company mantel clock, “Sharp Gothic,
V.P.”, or what we call a steeple clock, ca 1894. The
cone finials are nice replacements and the door latch
is a replacement but is correct style. The mahogany
case stands 20 inches tall, has good veneer, original
door glass, original dial although has darkened, and
an old pendulum and key. Inside is a complete label
and on the back is a partial paper label. The 30 hour movement runs
and strikes a nickel bell on hours and half hours. It also has an alarm
movement. Ly-Ansonia #1747. $125-$200.

Wm. L. Gilbert Co. 8 day windmill mission clock, ca
1906. The case is oak, stands 19.5 inches tall and has a
smooth Flemish Mission oak finish. The 8 day movement strikes on a gong half hours and hours. Originally
it had an art print in natural colors. It now has a replaced print of Holland tulips. It has brass numerals and
hands and a pendulum and key. The 8 day brass movement is signed and running. Ly-Gilbert, page 359. $50$100.

Japanese shelf clock, ca 1890. Identical to Seth Thomas City Series clock, the “Chicago”. Labels inside the
case and on the back show the maker or distributor,
“Kobe Shimomura & Co. / Kobe, Japan”. I do not
know if they were made by Seth Thomas and exported to Japan, or if they were actually made in Japan.
The mahogany case is 17.5 inches tall, has brass columns and trim around the front, brass bezels, and an 8 day brass
movement that sure resembles the Seth Thomas movements. The
dial is marked for 24 hours, painting in door looks to be original. $50$100.

Waterbury Clock Co. miniature grandfather clock, ca 1910.
Walnut case is 14 inches high and very nice. All around the

over the blank gold dial. Running. $25-$50

Seth Thomas, Thomaston, Conn. mantel clock with adamantine
finish, “Hussar”, ca 1904. The case is 18 inches wide and 12 inches
high, etched designs on the front, imitation marble on the ends and
four colored onyx columns. The glass is flat,
dial ring is signed, and hands are the correct
type. About 75% of a paper label remains on
the back, signed metal opening cover, and
inside is the 8 day signed brass movement that
strikes a cathedral gong on half hours and
hours. The case is not near perfect but is certainly passable. Ly-Seth

Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Regulator No. 1 Extra”, ca 1860. The round
8 day movement in this clock was no doubt purchased from the
creditors of the bankrupt Silas B. Terry clock company. When the
Terry stock was depleted Seth Thomas began to use an 8 day rectangular movement. The wonderful 44 inch burled and
rosewood case is clean and polished. There is some
handling wear around the outer edge of the bezel and
some small repairs, but otherwise the veneer and finish is very nice. A gloss finish was put on the case and
it may cover some imperfections that I do not recognize. The bottom glass is like the one pictured in LySeth Thomas #844, movement pictured at #845, and
the case at #844, $846, and #847. The original dial pan
has been repainted, hands are correct, flat iron weight
is correct, so are the wood stick and brass bob. Most of the original
paper label remains on the two piece sliding partition that covers
the weight chute. The lower door lock requires a male ended key to
lock, and the key is with the clock. The clock has been well maintained and not abused. Thirty years ago when I was almost as foolish as I am now, I ran ads asking if collectors would sell me their
No.1 Extra’s. Strangely, most responses came from California with
asking prices in the $4000-$6000 range. You can have this nice example at a much lower price. Ly-Seth Thomas, pages 271-273. $1500$2000.
a few other carvings. Overall the cuckoo is in excellent condition.
$5000-$7500.

Seth Thomas hanging clock, “Regulator No. 1”, ca 1879.
This is a very rare model that has the single weight hanging on the left side. It is identical to their more common
model that had the weight hanging in the center. The 8
day round movement was the early Silas B. Terry type
with solid round plates. It is the same movement they
used in their earlier No. 1 Extra cases. This veneered case
is 34 inches, probably walnut but the graining on the
bezel reminds me of rosewood. Overall the veneer and
case are nice but you will find some small pieces missing especially
on the very bottom where it is hard to see them. The screws holding
the base to the case have wallowed loose and you will need to use
larger screws or glue to hold it in place. The support board under
the dial is missing, as is the label and oblong rectangular weight.
Any round weight will work until you find a correct weight. I have
included a label you can install in the case. All other parts are original, including dial, hands, movement, pendulum, beat scale, etc. I
did not attempt to run the movement. The most recent sales of this
model were in the $4000-$5000 range. Ly-Seth Thomas, pages 269271. $1250-$1500.

“Birge, Mallory & Co. / Bristol, Conn.”, triple decker
clock, ca 1837-1843. The 8 day, two weight movement in
this case is called a “strap frame”. The 38” high case is
mahogany veneered and overall in good condition.
There may be some veneer glue backs but I do not see
any patching. Both doors, top and bottom, are beveled,
or angled; both have brass escutcheons, key locks, but
no key. I believe all three glasses were replaced many
years ago. The splat top is probably a replacement but
the ball feet, half columns top and bottom, and full turned middle
columns are all original with good paint. The backboard is one solid
piece of wood and the paper label covers two thirds of the backboard. The brass movement is signed, “BM&Co”, and it is complete,
and we believe in condition to run, although we did not run it. There
is no pendulum or weights. Good looking wood dial has a good
amount of gold on the four corners and the rings around the numerals. There is one stretch mark thru the middle, although not very
bad at this point. “The Contributions of Joseph Ives to Connecticut
Clock Technology, 1810-1862”, by Kenneth D. Roberts, page 263
particularly. $250-$400.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Regulator No. 1”, ca 1879. One of the first
hanging regulators made by Seth Thomas. Many of the first weight
regulators contained movements and other parts that Seth Thomas
purchased from the defunct Silas B. Terry clock company. This clock
has a solid round plate movement and is identical to the one pictured in Ly-Seth Thomas #843-A. A few of the early
“Regulator No. 1” clocks used a long iron weight that
descended down the left side of the case. If this long
weight is not original it is the type seen in a few other
No.1 cases se have seen or sold. It would also have been
proper to use a small round brass weight. We have seen
them both used in the No. 1’s. The 34” walnut case has
been polished/cleaned, has a furniture sheen finish, correct glasses, brass bob, and gold painted wood stick.
Excellent original signed dial and hands, bezel with side
lock, groove inside the case for weight to descend. There are no
extra holes around the movement or dial, leading us to believe the
clock is nearly perfect with only the weight in contention. We know
of at least two recent sales of this model, and not nearly as nice, in
the $4000-$5000 range. Ly-Seth Thomas, pages 269-271. $2000$3000.

“Mark Leavenworth / Waterbury, Connecticut”, ca 1824-1829. The
paper label in this Pillar & Scroll case is about half gone but enough
there to know the maker. It is a very nice mahogany veneered case
in that the scrolls and base are original. One scroll tip has been broken and repaired professionally. Certainly a good repair
job, as it is hard to tell, especially from the front. I used
a flashlight to find the repair. The case is 30.5” high, has
excellent veneer all over, key lock without key, and
ivory escutcheon. The brass finials are all replacements,
the solid brass type that screw into the scroll top. Both
glasses are held in place with new putty. The painted
glass was done by Tom Moberg. The movement is com-

Large oval shaped cuckoo clock, ca 1865. The age of the clock was
determined by examining the nice detail of the early carved wood
bird sitting on a wood platform, the wire linkage, and the exceptional carvings. Large deer head with carved wood
antlers, carved dogs head and horn on the bottom,
and fox and birds on the sides. All carvings are highly
detailed and very intricately carved. It has a replaced
backboard with an old gong. The movement has
been cleaned and is working as it should. The case is
about 32 inches high including antlers. There are
some professional repairs to the broken antlers and
47
plete and appears to be in running condition to strike the iron bell.
The wood dial is very nice and shows normal aging for a 200 year
old clock. Included are old iron weights and brass bob. $500-$750.
six inch silver plated dial has recessed numerals
and a spirit level. The glass is beveled and convex, sash is dull gold. It has a chime silencer concealed behind the glass in the mat. The silver dial
shows normal wear where fingers rubbed when turning hands. LyAnsonia, pages 429-430. $100-$200.
720.
$175
“Birge, Mallory & Co. / Bristol, Conn.”, empire style column and cornice case with brass movement, ca 1837. This style Empire case preceded the Seth Thomas style. The columns are round and slender,
and the sleigh rails at the bottom are more slender and there are
turned bun feet on the bottom. The very nice label
covers two thirds of the backboard. Mahogany
veneered case is 38” high and has good veneer all
over but you can no doubt find a nick or repair.
After all, it is 180 years old. Apparently, all three
glasses are replacements; the painted glasses are
definitely old but no doubt from another clock.
There are two good door locks, brass escutcheons,
and no key. Complete label, period hands, nice
wood dial, no pendulum bob or weights and the
coil gong is a replacement. It has a strap brass
movement patented by Joseph Ives five years previously and
signed, “BM&Co”. The 8 day, two weight movement is complete
and operational. Reference: “NAWCC Bulletin Supplement 18 by
Lee H. Davis, pages 40-42 for this case and movement. $200-$400.
724.
$100
English gallery clock sporting an 8 day chain fusee movement. The
oak case is 14.5” in diameter, very nice overall, and in the English
fashion the round top is held to the movement box with pegs.
There is a door in the bottom to access the pendulum and a side
door on the right side. It has a heavy brass bezel, flat
glass, painted iron dial and a pair of period/correct
hands. The dial paint has been strengthened where
paint was worn. The makers name, “Thwattes & Reed /
Clerkenwell”, painted on the dial was also strengthened. The company was in business from 1817-1842 so this is no late
blooming clock and has been around a long long time. The chain
fusee movement is time only. The suspension appears to be broken.
The heavy brass pendulum is correct for that period and we believe
original to this clock. $150-$300.
725.
$350
Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. shelf calendar clock, “No.10
Farmer’s”, ca 1880. Walnut case is 25” high, has been
cleaned and polished, but some smoke is still hanging
on, in places. It looks good, has all its original parts and
pieces except the ornate top that has been replaced.
Even the old dials are original. The two movements are
original and functional, running, striking a coil gong,
and calendar changing. The pendulum is satisfactory
and runs the clock. Ly-Calendar #346. $$400-$600.
721.
$475
Seth Thomas “Parlor Calendar No.4”, ca 1870’s. Another fine clock
from a large collection we have been selling for several auctions. 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 both labels
inside, the one on the door indicates it was sold in
the 1870’s. The white label is behind the calendar movement. Both
dials have the original paint, the bottom is very good with very little
fading but does have a couple of paint chips. The top has no paint
chips. The hands, calendar rollers, brass bell, and pendulum, all look
to be original to the clock except the calendar hand is a replacement. 8 day time and striking upper movement is signed and running, calendar movement was operating when we took it from his
home. This model has historically had a high book value and was
$1500 over ten years ago. Ly-Calendar #629. $500-$750.
726.
$100
French Morbier, 8 day, bell strike, crown wheel escapement and an
early type folding pendulum. The movement is enclosed
in a metal box with latching doors on each side, and iron
bell on the top. The pressed brass dial surround features
a male flute player on the top left and a lady on the right
he is trying to impress. As you know the brass surround is
as thin as paper, easily bent and after 150 years of travels
and handling has been bent and straightened numerous
times. Convex porcelain dial is 10 inches, has numerous
hairlines and a porcelain repair around the right time
arbor. There is a nice pair of brass hands with stars at the
points. There are painted flowers on the unsigned dial.
The movement is operating and strikes half hours, the number of
hours on the hour, and repeats the hours two minutes after the
hour. It comes with a winding crank, folding brass pendulum, and is
mounted to a wood board. Although we show weights we can’t
seem to find them, so assume it will come without. $100-$200.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. wall clock, “Umbria”, ca 1894. Oak case is 40
½” high, has been lightly cleaned but there is still remnants of crazing and smoke in the grooves and joints. Actually the wood is dark
enough to be mistaken for walnut. The case is complete and nice except for a tiny piece missing on the
base. Both glasses are old, two door locks on the side,
original signed dial with considerable chips. It has three
correct hands, original brass bob, wood stick, and brass
beat scale. The brass movement runs eight days and
strikes on a Cathedral gong. Nice clock with a heavy
duty movement that should give you a lot of good service. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 320. It used to sell for
$2000. $500-$750.

Herschede Hall Clock Co. Cincinnati, Ohio, Model 20 of their Pendulum Westminster Mantle Chime Clock series. Complete paper label
on the back door, signed 8 day solid plate movement, signed brass
dial, and serial number underneath. As you know Herschede was
known for producing excellent clocks. The 21 inch mahogany case is
clean and all original. It has a beveled glass in the sash, very nice
nickel dial with raised brass numerals and
original hands. The solid plate movement runs
8 days and strikes Westminster chimes on 5
rods. $150-$300.

Ansonia Clock Co. “Standard Regulator”, ca 1920. Beautifully polished dark mahogany case in excellent original
condition, apparently not cleaned in recent times. The
special thing about this clock is its originality and being
very clean as though it has hung in a nice clean home
for 95 years. This clock is typical of a great many made
by the major companies during this time period, 8 day,
time only, one weight, and 37” long. The brass weight,
pendulum bob, beat scale, and bezel, are all clean and
polished. There is a very nice signed metal dial, and correct hands.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Regulator No. 2”, ca 1890. Polished oak case, 36” high. Cleaned of most all smoke,
remnants still in the cracks. Both glasses are original,
complete original label inside, and the base has all the
little buttons that are so often missing. Brass bob and
wood stick, brass pulley, and brass beat scale. The
painted dial is nice but if it was repainted it was several
years ago. Correct hands, small dial screws, and a clean
and running 8 day weight movement. The movement is
signed with the ST logo. It is mounted to a typical iron
back plate. Everyone needs at least one No. 2. Ours hangs in the
kitchen and I bought it back when they were selling for over $2000.

Black Forest Cuckoo clock movement imported to the
United States where the cases were made and sold by
the American Cuckoo Clock Co. Philadelphia, Pa. about
1900. This large case is 25 inches tall, original and very
dark having never been cleaned. The three weight
movement runs one day and strikes on the coil gong
one time at 15 minutes after the hour. 2 times at 30 after, etc. On the hour it also sounds the cuckoo’s. It was put in good
running condition by the previous owner. Note the near complete
label on the backboard. The movement is not signed. $500-$750.

“Orton, Preston & Co. / Farmington, Conn.”, 8 day wood works, half
column and splat, ca 1835-1837. The mahogany veneered case is a
tad over 35” tall, all wood parts in place, the splat has
lost some of its height. The veneer is very good and you
may find a couple of tiny edge or corner nicks, no repairs are evident anywhere. There are two door locks
with ivory escutcheons but no key, and both glasses
have been replaced. The label is sparse but Orton is
there. The dial is dark, there are old hands, the gong or
bell is missing, and there are no weight cords, weights
or pendulum. Obviously needs restoration or could be used for
parts. 8 day movements do not come around every day. $250-$400.

BID SHEET INSTRUCTIONS

Be sure your name and shipping/mailing address are current and correct. Do not use a post office box number.
Include a phone number where we can reach you; FedEx also requires a phone number. Include an email address
if you use email.

List your items by catalog number in order of preference if you have a spending limit. A short title/description
helps you and us to correctly identify the clock. Your spending limit might be a dollar amount, or a clock number
amount (i.e., no more than two clocks).

Your bid must be at least the minimum; bid what you are willing to pay for the item, but no more. Remember,
most bidders win their clocks for less than their maximum bid.

Add a note with bidding instructions, if necessary. For example, “I only want this clock if I don’t win clock #___”.

We will arrange shipping through several local shipping firms if you request shipping on the above form. They will
contact you with an estimate of cost, and provide shipping options.

We will fill in the Award column amount for clocks you win, and total the amount due. If you wish to use PayPal or
a credit/debit card add the 3% convenience fee to your total.

Call, FAX, or email us with you payment arrangements and we will get your clock(s) on their way to you!

Please allow 3-4 weeks for your clocks to arrive; we only have a few trusted shippers, and we are not their only
customer. You may call or email us anytime to find out the status of your delivery. We will try to arrange to have
the shippers notify you by email of your shipment status. Bear in mind that shippers often require packages over
$500 to be signed for upon delivery; you may wish to have your clocks sent to a business address if no one will be
at your home to sign. Alternatively, you can arrange through the shipping firm to have the packages sent to a local
outlet (UPS Store, FedEx Office) for pick-up at your convenience.
