2 1. $810 Seth Thomas Clock Co. Regulator No. 2, ca This oak case is 35.5 inches high and unlike 99% of the No. 2 s we get it has the little buttons on the bottom. They usually get knocked off and never replaced. That means the clock is complete, has all original parts, it is clean, polished, and running. The 8 day movement is signed, clean, and performing perfectly. The brass weight, brass pendulum, brass pulley, brass beat scale, brass door lock, and all other parts are original. The glasses, wood stick, and especially the label inside all seem to be original. There are some repair notations on the label. I believe it is the most complete label I have seen in a No. 2. Ly-Seth Thomas, pages $850-$ $2310 Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Conn. Marcy, ca A rare and unusual model, different from any other wall clock Seth Thomas made. It has an 8 day time and quarter hour striking movement that strikes on two cup bells and strikes hours on a Cathedral gong. The movement is spring driven, clean, signed, running and striking properly. The painted dial and hands are original, with some paint flaking around the outer rim. The 46 inch oak case has been cleaned and polished, and has minor repairs on an edge or corner where bumped. This model is only one of three clocks ST made using the unusual striking on two cup bells. The other two were mantel clocks, Hecla and Atlas. There is a key lock on the case side, original finials and carvings on the front. The glasses are good and there is a great damascened pendulum bob with wood stick. Most of the old black label is inside on the bottom. There is a silver beat scale and a winding key. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 321. $2500-$ $360 Seth Thomas Clock Co. Thomaston, Conn. hanging clock, World, ca Factory stamp on the back of the case is, H8191, meaning clock made August That would be during WW1. The movement in this clock is a 15 day timepiece, and is running. They also made it in 8 day with strike, and 30 day time. The 32 inch oak case has been cleaned and polished, brass bob was polished, latches and knobs are present. Inside is a complete paper label and brass beat scale. The original painted dial is slightly dirty and has minor paint loss, mostly at 11 o clock where the fingers are more likely to rub when turning the hands. I am sure collector s tire of me touting the ST World, ST short drop, and ST No. 2 Regulators, but they are the most popular and best running clocks ever made, in my humble opinion. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 323. I have bought and sold the World model for $750-$1000 for years, but not lately. $400-$ $410 French clock, barometer, thermometer, in a 26 inch high cast metal case, ca The clock movement is an 8 day time and strike on a nickel bell and is running. It ran a full 8 days for me in a trial run. The pendulum is a stationary type, not removable. The movement is signed two places with the Japy Freres trademark insignia. Inside the metal back cover is a paper label that says in part, Regulation, & c. / J. J. Wainwright & Co. Cambridge Street, Birmingham.. The label gives instructions for setting the clock. The porcelain dial, French hands, brass sash and beveled glass are perfect. Thermometer is porcelain on metal with Fahrenheit and Reaumur gauges. The Aneroid Barometer is not signed but appears to be in working order. $500-$ $110 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. The 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. $600-$ $1100 Ansonia Clock Co. cabinet mantel clock, Cabinet Antique, ca The beautiful 20 inch high case is made of mahogany and polished to a nice patina then covered with antique brass trimmings on all sides. The movement is 8 day, spring driven, and strikes hours and half hours on a standing Cathedral gong. The inside of the case is as clean and nice as the outside. The brass movement is signed, polished, and running. Brass pendulum and winding key included. The signed porcelain dial and hands are correct and very nice, as is the sash, beveled glass, and dial ring. The clock sits on four brass bun feet. This is an exceptionally nice example of this model. They made six other models, none as nice as this. Ly-Ansonia, page 241. This model has always sold in the $2000-$3000 range. Our estimate is $1500-$ $171 Atkins Clock Comp y., Bristol, Conn., mantel clock, London, ca The rosewood veneered case is almost 17 inches high with original finish, not restored and showing need of cleaning and polishing. The columns have the original gilt, and they also have not been cleaned and show some wear. The gold foil glasses are original and look very nice and they have a little paint loss. The painted dial and hands are original. The label is complete and the unsigned Atkins movement, style 265c, is clean and operational. This is the most common of the Atkins London models and was a long time standby of the Atkins Clock Co. This clock and movement are pictured in the book, The Clocks of Irenus Atkins, by Gregory & King. $200-$ $100 Ansonia Clock Co., Ansonia, Conn., mantel clock, Cabinet C, ca Dark oak case is 18.5 inches high and is complete and all original. The case is clean, polished, has no damage or repairs and with the extremely nice brass trimmings it makes for a spectacular clock. The brass dial, hands, 2

3 sash, and glass are all very nice and original of course. The back door is hinged and has a brass latch. Inside is the signed 8 day movement that is running, has the correct pendulum and strikes half hours and hours on a standing gong. They just don t come any nicer than this. It is a keeper. Ly-Ansonia #849. $500-$ $ 310 Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Conn. top of the line City Series clock, the Pittsburgh, ca 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 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 some wear and 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. Ly-Seth Thomas #584. $350-$ $1400 New Haven Clock Co. very large 30 day gallery clock with advertising, ca I would assume the advertising was painted on the dial in 1920, for it reads, Presented to the Baltimore Branch of the Columbia Graphophone Company by General Sales Department, in acknowledgement of First Position Taken Over All Branches on the Number Eight Fixture Contest, March 29 th The walnut case is 26 inches and the painted metal dial is 18 inches. Case is hinged at the top, bezel with glass lifts up to access the pendulum, hands, and winding arbors. It is 100 percent original and running. There is slight damage to the dial in the 3 o clock area that was touched up. The dial is signed at the bottom by the New Haven Clock Co. Ly-New Haven #655. $1500-$ $100 Waterbury Clock Co. Calendar No. 44, ca This is a nice original oak case clock standing 24 inches high. The clock has all the bells and whistles including time, half hour strike, calendar, and an alarm. Note that the alarm sets on the upper dial, winds in the bottom of the case, and rings on a nickeled bell. The 8 day movement is signed, running, and striking a Cathedral gong on half hours and hours. Both dials are signed by the Waterbury Clock Company. The three hands, dials, dial rings, glass, and everything else is original and in good overall condition. On the back are three labels, two near complete, one about half. The top ornament is glued to the case. Ly- Waterbury #284. $600-$ $300 Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. No. 11 Octagon Poni, ca This is the miniature size of the Octagon No. 11, standing 18 inches high while the larger one is 21 inches high. Not an elaborate case but rather plain. Everything looks to be original including the dial, hands, movements, and the backboard. The movement runs 8 days, strikes hours on a bell, and is running. The movements are dirty and the calendar roller papers are original but dirty, and the lettering is more elaborate than the papers used on the Ithaca rollers later. You will notice in the bottom of the case a cardboard box nailed to the base. Inside the box is a full page typewritten letter about the clock, the owners who bought the clock new, neighbors of the owners, and a lengthy essay about the world in 1947 that he said was apparently crumbling. Maybe he meant Ly-Calendar Clocks #348. $400-$ $200 Seth Thomas Clock Co. a City Series model, the Denver, ca 1889 and that date is factory stamped on the back. ST made this model for several years when they may have made other models only one year. My guess is that the clock was a popular seller because of its size, 16.5 inches high, and its very attractive style that looked good on a mantel. Most houses had mantels but very few other places to place a clock. Note that this clock also has the alarm feature, which in earlier days was also very important. These days a wristwatch has an alarm. Everything is original inside and outside. Great walnut case with gold striping on the front, a locking door, original glass, good black label inside, original dial and hands, original pendulum, and of course the movements are original. It runs 8 days, and by the way is running very strong, and strikes hours on a wire bell and alarms on a brass bell. Ly-Seth Thomas #537A. $250- $ $160 Seth Thomas Clock Co. a City Series model, the Cincinnati, ca We rarely see a really nice example of the Cincinnati. I have probably had one or two over the 40 years I have collected City Series clocks. This one has a minor problem with two pieces of trim missing on each side of the dial, otherwise it is complete and original. It has a nice painting on the glass, good label inside, and original painted dial with some flaking. The 8 day movement is signed and striking on a coil gong. The 17 inch high case has black trim all around with gold on the finials, columns, and around the glass. Ly- Seth Thomas, page 189. $175-$ $310 Seth Thomas Clock Co. a City Series model, Austin, ca One of the few City Series models with metal ornaments. This model has silver ornaments on the top and bottom. Made of walnut the case stands 15.5 inches high, and has a few veneer chips on the top and bottom, and has not been cleaned or polished in some time. It has an original signed porcelain dial with some chips around the winding arbors. The hands are two types and the pendulum is not correct but will operate the movement accurately. I doubt the back door is original, but if it is it is missing the latch. The 8 day signed movement is time and strike, striking hours on a Cathedral gong and half hours on a bell. This is a very difficult City Series model to acquire, especially in nice condition. Ly-Seth Thomas #509. $350-$500. 3

4 16. $410 Seth Thomas Clock Co. a City Series model, Carson, ca 1884 and so stamped on the back door. The back door has a key lock. The signed movement runs 8 days, strikes hours on a Cathedral 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 alligatored panel worn down to nickel. Enlarge picture 16A and you can see what an original looked like. We sold that clock a few years back for $850. Original porcelain dial has a chip on the strike side winding arbor and hairlines over the dial. The dial is signed and one grommet is missing. Even though the case is basically just nickeled now it is still a very attractive clock standing 14.5 inches tall. It has a beveled glass in the sash. Ly-Seth Thomas #517. $500-$ $300 Seth Thomas Clock Co. crystal regulator, Empire No. 18 With Urn, ca They made this model with, and without, the urn. In 1915 they priced the one with urn at $28. The clock is now $100 years old and figuring the inflation factor since 1915 it would have sold today for $368. It was made originally with a rich gold finish or a bronze finish. The finish now is a new bright gold finish. Otherwise the case is original and complete. There are four beveled plate glasses, all perfect. The 8 day round movement is also bright and clean, signed, and running. Also there is a perfect two jam imitation mercury pendulum, perfect porcelain dial that is signed, and original hands. Other than being a little more bright gold than the gold put on it originally, it is a mighty fine clock. Ly-Seth Thomas #741. $350-$ $710 Ansonia Clock Co. crystal regulator, Floral, ca The ST catalogs say this model was finished in rich gold. The edges of the flowers and stems show rich gold but there is black accumulated in the grooves and creases. I am sure there is some solution you could spray on it and the black stuff would wash out. It has a multitude of flowers and stems all over the case. There are two latching doors, four glasses, imitation mercury pendulum, one piece signed porcelain dial, and original hands. The 8 day movement is signed, running, and striking half hours and hours on a Cathedral gong. The case stands 16.5 inches high, is complete, and original. This is a rare model, probably only the second one I have ever had, and they have always commanded a big price. Ly Ansonia #317. $800-$ $310 Waterbury Clock Co. calendar clock, Buffalo, ca This clock is in very nice condition, all original, very clean, polished, and ready to put in your collection or resell. The glass is like the one on the model pictured in the Waterbury books. The pendulum, dial, hands, gong, and movement, are all original stock. It is doubtful you could find a better one. The large 27 inch high case is made of walnut. The dial ring and gong are nickeled and the bob with the fleur de ley ornament is brass. The 8 day signed movement is a strong runner and strikes half hours and hours on the Cathedral gong. Ly-Waterbury #254. $400-$ $100 Seth Thomas Clock Co. Parlor Calendar No. 5, ca Walnut case stands 20 inches high and was touted by ST as being made with polished walnut veneer. The clock inside and outside looks like it has been used daily since 1896 with no attempt to clean or upgrade it. The dials are signed and original, but chipping has occurred as usual with ST dials, and some touchups were made in places. The hands, glasses, and labels are all correct. The clock could still be made acceptable if you have the dials repainted. The 8 day movement is running strong and striking hours on a brass bell. The movement is signed by ST and the calendar roller papers look to be original also. A little cleaning and polishing would do wonders for the case. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 106. $600-$ $100 Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Conn. Parlor Calendar No. 4, ca The 25 inch high case is mahogany veneered, has the original finish but has some veneer chipping on the top and base. If not for the veneer chips this would be a pretty nice old clock. It has both original labels, glasses, movements, and is running without problems. Both dials are original, signed, and in pretty good condition for ST dials this old. Both dials have small areas of paint loss. The calendar rollers are very dark. The 8 day movement is signed, actually pretty clean, running and striking the brass bell each hour. The upper hands are original, not sure of the calendar hand. Ly-Seth Thomas #257. $600-$ $221 Ansonia Clock Co., Ansonia, Conn., Regulator A Cal., ca Walnut and walnut veneered 32 inch high case is in very nice condition and has survived 115 years and has only one small veneer chip, it on the bottom door. The internal parts are all original, including the dial, movement, hands, beat scale, pendulum, and complete label. The dial paper appears to be original but is very spotted. The 8 day spring movement is spotted like the dial. I don t understand how the dial and movement could be spotted the same unless someone sprayed for spiders or something. It is running and calendar is changing. The bottom glass is original. Ly- Calendar #35. $300-$ $1121 Southern Calendar Clock Co. Fashion No. 4, ca This was the Culver brothers first model with the word Fashion painted on the center of the door glass and a visible pendulum showing between the dials. During the transition from the No. 3 to the No. 4 you will occasionally see some features of the previous model. This No. 4 has the suspension that was used on the No. 3, therefore the pendulum must hang by a wire rather than a wood stick. Except for the smoky black case that is blacker than a coal miners butt, the clock is pretty much all original. It has never been cleaned or any attempt made to clean it the least bit. The painted dials are original, signed, and in very nice condition. The 8 day movement is 4

5 signed properly, the calendar movement is original but very dirty, like soot or coal dust all over. The movement will run but is not striking properly. Very dirty, should be cleaned before much use. It has two good labels, large brass bell, correct hands, and good glass. The finials and pendulum bob I cannot vouch for. It was missing one of the small ones and I put one on the clock that is not black. Surely the next owner will refinish or clean the case. Ly-Calendar Clocks, page 286. $1250-$ $1600 French bronze clock with Napoleon and his horse on top, ca 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. $1750-$ $ $400 Diana Swing clock finished in Syrian Bronze. It is not terribly old but the metal could use some cleaning. The swinger is the tin can type, not a ball, and is missing the back cover. It ran for a while but I managed to get it out of beat. The movement is signed, Ansonia Clock Co. / New York U.S.A. / Doesn t sound bad does it. The trouble is, it is not old but a modern day reproduction. I sold this clock in the January 2014 auction, and the customer said it was not old. I argued that it was but he was insistent so I said send it back. He was right of course. A few more purchases like that one and I will be in the poor house. You can see the real ones in Ly-Ansonia page 705. $500-$750. S. C. Spring, / Bristol- - - Conn., column & cornice cased clock with strap brass 8 day movement, ca Very nice rosewood veneered case is 30.5 inches tall with beautiful gold gilt columns and original painted tablet. The metal dial retains the original paint, has one O Shoot in the upper right corner, and the hands, pendulum, and pair of iron weights, are all period and probably original to this clock. Soloman Crosby Spring went into business with E. N. Welch in 1868, but spent the four previous years in business for himself. I thought long and hard about keeping this fine clock. If only I had a mantel suitable to display it. The 8 day riveted strap brass movement is running and striking the hours on a gong. An identical clock and movement are pictured in Ly-American Clocks, Volume 3, page 41, with a value indicated at $750. $500-$ $1310 F. Kroeber, New York, Noiseless Rotary No. 4, ca The 22 inch high case is enameled iron with marbleized, blue columns, with bronze ornaments, lion s heads on the sides, and gold paint in incised designs on the base and below the dial. Kroeber made this case many ways, wood cases with different ornaments, and in fact of the six different models they made the No. 4 was the only one made with enameled iron. The sash and beveled glass are covering a near perfect porcelain dial and original hands. The 8 day movement is running properly, strikes on the hours and the nickel pendulum is correct. They used their Borneo model enameled iron case to make this No. 4 Noiseless Rotary. Ly-Kroeber, pages $1500-$ $710 French three piece bronze set, ca 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 plaster of Paris base that is covered with gold gilt around the edges. Each of the pieces have bun feet and are signed underneath in several coded ways. Maker s numbers I suppose. 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. $1000-$ $610 Southern Calendar Clock Co. Fashion No. 2, ca The 31 inch high case is made with walnut veneer and was the first Fashion with finials and side columns. The No. 1 had paper dials but beginning with the No. 2 they were painted on zinc. Since these dials are paper we must assume they are replacements. The label on the back of the door says the clock was put into operation on July 1, The 8 day brass movement is signed by Seth Thomas as being made for Southern Calendar, etc. It is running and striking hours on the large brass bell. There are two good labels inside the case. Everything looks to be original except for the dials. The finials appear to be original and have complete tips. That is amazing if true. They have the marks on the stubs that we normally see on original finials. This model usually has bad veneer with chips on the bezels, the base and the top. Other than a few tiny chips and edge scuff marks this one is about as nice as I have seen. If you are trying to collect nice examples of all the Fashions you won t go wrong with this one. I was tempted. Ly-Calendar, page 283. $750-$ $300 Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Conn., World, ca This clock is their 15 day model, using a large brass double wind, time only, movement. The rosewood veneered case is 32 inches high with a latching brass bezel over the dial and a latching door on the bottom. There is some bubbled veneer on the bezel and base, as well as small splits that are filled in. There is gold paint around the bottom glass. It has a very 5

6 nice painted dial with the correct hands. The dial is signed two places and has minor loss of paint around the seconds dial and in the center. It has a polished brass pendulum ball, wood stick, and beat scale. Being such a big heavy movement it will run with the least bit of encouragement. I like the World model because it runs 15 days, rather than 8. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 323. $300-$ $710 Waterbury Clock Co. banjo clock, Willard No. 5, ca Waterbury made some of the finest banjo blocks of any company in modern times. This mahogany case is 42 inches high with a brass eagle on top. It may have had a brass or wood finial top at one time but I suspect you could buy them either way. You sure would not want to change this one. The glasses were different styles in each model. The bottom glass in this case is a house on the seashore. Some of the paint in the center has flaked off. The gold boundary is good. Tom Moberg said he could restore the center of the painting. The movement is 8 day, time only, and weight driven. The 8 inch convex porcelain dial is perfect. The brass bezel, convex glass, hands, brass side rails, pendulum, beat scale, and iron weight, are all original and in nice condition. Most of the paper label remains on the back. The movement is signed and running. Ly-Waterbury # $ $1910 E. N. Welch, Forestville, Conn. hanging, Sinico, ca The black walnut case is 45 inches high with the original finish and light crazing remaining. The case is original and complete and in near perfect condition. I notice one small wood chip on the lower left corner of one of the tail pieces. The glass was replaced at some time. The Verdi movement runs 8 days, strikes hours on a Cathedral gong and half hours on a cup bell. It has the original painted dial, hands, brass ring, brass pendulum bob and wood stick. The better part of two labels remain on the back. We have seen this model sell as high as $3000, the last one we sold went for $1200. My how times change! Ly-Welch #234. $750-$1000. Southern Calendar Clock Co. Fashion No. 5, ca This 32 inch high walnut case has been cleaned and polished, dials repainted, has new calendar roller papers, and new finials stained to match the case. Everything about the clock is original except those items mentioned. The pendulum bob, wood stick, dial pans, label, beat scale, Cathedral gong, and hands, all appear to be original stock for this model. The No. 5 models strike on a Cathedral gong where its predecessors struck on a brass bell. The very large upper movement is said to be one of the finest movements that Seth Thomas ever made. It is signed and running. Ly-Calendar, page 287; Ly-Seth Thomas, page 121. When those books were published this model was selling around $3750. Wall Street changed all that. $1500- $ $1000 Waterbury Clock Co. Library, Ca The 44 inch high case is walnut with a very dark original finish. Probably never cleaned or refinished. The weights and chains descend below the case. On the ends of the two chains are wood acorns. The gold painted iron weights are new castings, painted gold. Correct weights can be found on EBay. The porcelain dial has a big repair in the 12-1 o clock area. ProClocks, Cincinnati, Ohio, can have a porcelain dial duplicated that you cannot tell from the original. Cost around $100. One of the tips on the base of the case has been broken and glued back. The 8 day movement is running and striking half hours and hours on a gong. This is a pretty rare model that historically has sold around $3000 when found in really nice condition. Ly-Waterbury #588. $1000-$ $1200 Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Co. Winsted, Conn, Regulator No. 14, ca The oak case is 50 inches high, has been cleaned and polished. A fairly uncommon clock but we have sold a few over the years. The 8 day movement is time only, weight driven, dead beat escapement and has retaining power. It has a new paper dial, signed and professionally installed therefore looks very nice. The hands, dial rings, brass weight, brass pendulum bob, wood stick, side door lock, and beat scale, are all original stock. A nice clock for this minimum. Ly-Gilbert #359. $1250-$ $771 New Haven Clock Co., New Haven, Conn. Commodore, a large wall clock, ca The oak case is 46.5 inches high, has some nice carvings and jig saw work from top to bottom. Other than an occasional polishing the clock has never had any work done to the wood parts. It has a repainted 16.5 inch square dial. Other than that the clock is completely original. The color and richness of the wood makes you think it may be walnut. The dial was repainted by the Dial House and it has the proper logo and is signed, Thirty Day, and New Haven Clock Co. Both glasses are old but I cannot swear they are original as it is hard to tell. All the internal parts including the dial, hands, polished brass bob, wood stick, and signed beat scale, are all original. The 30 day time only movement is running and keeping accurate time. We sold this clock two years ago for $2300 and it came back to us in his collection with some other very nice clocks in this auction. Ly-New Haven #556. $1000-$ $610 Seth Thomas Clock Co. Regulator No. 2, ca The walnut case has been refinished. Restored may be more accurate. The clock came to me with a nice collection of large wall clocks and the collector sold it to me as a reissue by Seth Thomas. It is not a reissue, but an overhauled 130 year old clock. The case is clean and polished and if there is new wood I cannot tell it but there are lots of new screws. It has two good glasses, side door lock and all the correct internal parts including a beat scale, new paper label, old brass bob and wood stick, old brass weight, brass pulley, repainted dial, and correct but replaced hands. The 8 day time only movement is the solid plate trapezoid style movement, signed and running. Ly- Seth Thomas, pages $700-$

7 38. $1400 Waterbury Clock Co. Regulator No. 53, ca A very good looking oak cased clock, 53 inches tall, clean and has the polished look yet retains the original crusty finish. Darkened over time and appears to be original throughout. The wood parts appear to be all original, has a key lock on the side, with key. The dial and hands are original and in near perfect condition. The two weight time only, 8 day brass movement is signed and running. It has retaining power, dead beat escapement, and was recently serviced. The pair of old iron weights hang on the sides of the case descending from pulleys at the top. The brass bob, wood stick, signed beat scale, and pulleys, all look to be original to this clock. Ly-Waterbury #564. The last No. 53 we sold went for over $4000. $1500-$ $1400 Waterbury Clock Co. Regulator No. 54, ca Here is another beautifully restored large wall clock by Waterbury. We sold this identical clock a few years ago for $3200. The oak case is 57 inches tall, cleaned and polished, and like #38 just came off the wall of a long time collector who had a great many very nice, large wall clocks. Like most of us he bought them when clocks were pricy and sold when they were devalued. Thanks Barney Frank and friends. All wood parts including finials, are original and in excellent condition with no repairs. It has an 8 day, two weight, time only, deadbeat movement, with retaining power. It was recently serviced and is running strong. It has an original signed dial and correct hands, a brass bob with wood stick, two correct wafer type weights, signed beat scale, and a key locking door, with key. Ly-Waterbury #570. Before Barney this model was selling between $3500 and $4000. $1500-$ $1310 Southern Calendar Clock Co. Fashion No. 4, ca The 32 inch walnut case has been cleaned and restored back to near original condition, except, it needs more polish to liven it up. 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. $1500-$ $621 Seth Thomas Clock Co. City Series clock, Greek, ca 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. Ly-Seth Thomas #545. $650-$ $110 This is an identical copy of Joseph Ives Hour Glass model clock. Ives made his clocks around 1840 and today they would sell for $15,000 or more depending on condition. This case and glass is near identical to The Ives clocks. The mahogany veneered case is 24 inches tall, has two glasses held in the frame with putty, bottom one is professionally painted and resembling glasses of that period. There are two door hooks. Inside is a signed Ingraham 8 day spring movement that is running very strong and striking a gong. It has an ordinary brass pendulum and a winding key. The zinc dial is old, pair of old winding holes filled, new ones drilled, and the dial repainted. The hands are contemporary. It is a very good looking clock. $750-$ $2100 Ansonia Clock Co. extremely rare model, Georgia, ca We have only seen and sold three of this model. I have searched other auction catalogs from around the country and cannot find where one has ever been sold. The top of the clock and the base are made with black enameled iron. The center section, including the ends, has cast metal statues, columns, and other ornaments. The statues and some of the ornaments are finished in silver and everything else is finished in a bronze color. The case is 16 inches wide and 13 inches tall. The dial is as nice and different from any I have seen. Enlarge the dial picture and you will see what I mean. As usual it has a beveled glass, great pair of hands, an open escapement, and porcelain cartouche numerals. The only thing missing is the small metal cover over the movement opening on the back. You can order those from Timesavers. Inside are a standing gong and the 8 day signed movement. Ly-Ansonia #1482 says this clock is Rare. I already told you that. We sold one a few years ago for near $5000. $2500-$ $2600 Chinese Bracket Clock, ca This wood case stands 23.5 inches tall and is extensively covered with mother-of-pearl all over the front. The pearl pieces are randomly designed in the shape of flowers and are attached to a pearl vine. There are no mother-of-pearl pieces missing. There is a full front door with key lock and key. Behind the door is a large brass dial surround generously etched all over. It has a 7.15 inch bowed porcelain dial and three intricately designed hands including a sweep second hand. Underneath the clock are four brass bun feet. On the sides of the case are glass windows. The top is ebony and is sunken. 7

8 On the very top is a carved section. The heavy 8 day brass movement plates are 8.5 inches high and 8 inches wide, with etched designs, a pendulum lock down, and two nickel bells on top, one under the other. The 8 day movement is double chain fusee, running and striking the bells in a bim-bam sequence on the quarter hours, and striking one bell on the hours. The movement is signed in two places with large etched letters. The special winding key also has engraved designs. This is a very rare early clock. $3000-$ $2710 Chinese Bracket Clock, ca The wood case is 23 inches tall with cast brass decorations on the top and a strip of brass molding around the top edge and all around the door. The dial surround is heavily etched with different designs but the best features are the sea serpents, flowers, and vines. The porcelain dial is 6 inches and it has three well designed and unusual hands including a sweep second hand. Underneath the clock are four large brass feet. The sides have glass windows backed with brass mesh. The heavy movement plates are 9 inches high and 7.5 inches wide, and it has a nest of two bells on top. The names etched on the 8 day movement are, Canton / se chaong / nake. The double chain fusee movement is not pendulum driven but lever driven. This is a very rare movement and seldom seen in Chinese clocks. The back door is glass with key lock and key. $3000-$ $710 Trumpeter shelf cuckoo carved from top to bottom and stands a whopping 30 inches high. The pieces on the base are solid wood. It has birds carved into the headpiece. There are three winding arbors for the three gear trains, for the running gear, the cuckoo bird, and the trumpeter. The dial is 7 inches in diameter. It has an 8 day brass movement that is running and the bird comes out on each of the quarter hours and the trumpeter comes out on the hours to announce the number of the hour. If you like cuckoo and trumpeter clocks, you will not find one this inexpensive. If it were a 100 year old clock it could well sell for several thousand dollars. $800-$ $1710 Southern Calendar Clock Co. Saint Louis, Missouri, Fashion No. 6, ca The Culver Brothers bought Seth Thomas Clock Co. movements and even had Seth Thomas make most of the Fashion cases. They were transported from Connecticut to Saint Louis where they were assembled, put on horse drawn wagons, and sold throughout the south, mainly to farmers who paid annual payments. The large brass movements are 8 day and strike on a large Cathedral gong. The nickel pendulum hangs behind the movement and extends to the bottom of the case. The nickel bob has good damascene and the wood stick is original, but as is typical with these type wood sticks it has been repaired. The nickel dial rings, painted black dials, and nickel hands, all are original. The small wood ring above the top dial looks to be a replacement and the wood strip across the bottom dial board was used for support I suppose. Inside is a label, and the painted Fashion on the glass are original. The door needs some minor attention, glue or small nail on top right side. The case would look much nicer if polished. This model is very desirable and valuable when in nice condition. With very little effort you can bring it back to its original condition. Ly-Calendar, page 288. $2000-$ $410 Austrian miniature spring Vienna, ca The double wind brass movement runs about 2-3 days which is typical for early Vienna s, particularly early miniature Vienna s. It strikes a coil gong mounted on the back of the movement. The movement slides into a mounting bracket. It has a brass pendulum bob and wood stick, silk thread suspension, and it is running. The one piece porcelain dial has tiny chips around one winding arbor. It also has a pair of early Vienna hands. The beautiful rosewood case is only 25 inches tall, has there glasses, turned columns on the door, and two small finials on the base. It is a simple but very good looking clock. $500-$ $821 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. $850-$ $1010 F. Kroeber, New York, Regulator No. 49, ca The walnut case is 52 inches tall and has been cleaned and polished. It has a new paper dial and some repairs on the base. 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 replacements as they are not held with putty or wood strips. The clock is very unusual and looks to be original. Ly-Kroeber, page 120. $1100-$ $221 Seth Thomas Clock Co. hanging, Lever, ca The walnut case is 16 inches in diameter and the dial is 12 inches. The brass bezel is original, I doubt the glass is. The original painted dial is signed in two places, has original hands, a seconds dial, and a slow/fast adjusting dial. The movement is complete but to run properly will need cleaning and oil. There is a super label on the back. Usually the labels on this type clock are destroyed by now. Gallery clocks with large dials are very rare. Ly- Seth Thomas #1186. $250-$350. 8

9 12. $6100 French fire gilded bronze Empire style clock, ca 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 was appraised for three times our minimum, but probably for a New York or overseas market, not Kentucky. $7500-$9, $171 French bronze figure clock, ca The round 8 day movement is signed, Medaille D Argent / Vincenti & Cie / Miroy Fres Btes / S.G.D.S. / C.M. / Paris. The reference books indicate they were making clocks around The clock is all original with the exception of a new, but proper, pendulum. The bronze case is 17 inches wide and 14 inches high. The castings include several birds and flowers, and the Cupid is holding a bird. The case has aged nicely but a cleaning would make it like original. It has a one piece porcelain dial, original French hands, and a bowed glass in the sash. On the back is a flat glass in a hinged sash. The movement is typical of French movements, round and striking a nickel bell. It is running and striking on half hours and hours. $600-$ $121 Ansonia Clock Co. Cymric and Rose, ca Cymric is the name of the base and Rose the statue. The metal clock has a Japanese Bronze finish that is slightly dirty. Many of their statues were interchangeable with this base, all pegged on the bottom to fit the base. The statue alone is 18 inches tall and on the base stands 24.5 inches tall. The only damage I see is a small rose petal, broken and glued in place. The nice sash is holding a beveled glass and it opens to the one piece signed porcelain dial and original hands. The metal cover on the back is missing. They can be ordered from Timesavers. The correct pendulum is in the case. The 8 day signed movement is running and striking half hours and hours on a gong. Ly-Ansonia #1503. $550-$ $421 French carriage clock that has three subsidiary dials including day of month, day of week, and alarm. There are six hands total including the seconds hand. It has a repeat button on top, a carrying handle, and a beveled glass on top. The brass case is 7.5 inches high and engraved on all sides and the top with leaves, vines, etc. There are four other perfect beveled glasses. The 8 day movement winds and sets on the back. There is an alarm bell underneath the case and an hour striking bell inside. There are numerous winding posts for the various functions and two carriage keys. $450- $ $900 Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Co. calendar clock, Oriental, ca The oak case is 27 inches high, complete, original, and very very clean. We have very seldom had this model but this one does not look like it was ever exposed to smoke for it has not been dark and crusty like most clocks this old. And, this clock has three excellent labels. That also indicates the clock has stayed put thru most of its existence. The 8 day movement is running and striking the Cathedral gong on hours and half hours, and the calendar is changing. It has the correct pendulum, gong, hands, and original paper dial. Of special significance is the wonderful large glass featuring birds and a green background. Many of their clocks of this style. Sharon, Lenox, and Oriental, featured birds on the glasses. Ly-Calendar, page 98. The last one we sold, almost as nice as this clock, sold for over $3500. $1000-$ $110 Seth Thomas Clock Co. metal mantel clock, Creation, ca The movement, dial, etc. look like the Seth Thomas & Sons product, yet they closed shop in the 1870 s. This clock was made by Seth Thomas 30 years later. Probably my favorite ST metal/statue clock. I have had one for over 30 years. This is only the second I have ever seen. It has been refinished top to bottom, stands 28 inches tall, and is missing an ornament each of the figures were holding in their outstretched hands. The catalog shows the female holding a star and the man holding a light. Both figures are holding a star on the one I have had 30 years. The 8 day round movement is signed, running 15 days, striking a cathedral bell on half hours. It has a flat glass in the sash and a 3.5 inch porcelain dial. Ly-Seth Thomas #1953. $600-$ $180 Seth Thomas Clock Co. City Series model, Ogden, ca This walnut case is 21.5 inches high, complete, original, and clean and polished. The only change I see is a replaced paper dial and perhaps the ST hands were added to replace the spade hands. It has a great nickel pendulum bob with etched designs, nickel gong, and nickel dial rings, all highly polished. The 8 day time and striking movement is running and striking the Cathedral bell on the hours and it has an alarm movement that rings on a nickel bell behind the gong base. The glass is original and near perfect. Apparently the top piece between the two balls came unglued and was glued back in place. There is a tiny space where it was glued. I would reglue if I were going to keep the clock and I would have the dial painted. Ly-Seth Thomas #575. $200-$ $100 Seth Thomas Clock Co. Thomaston, Conn., Office Calendar No. 4, ca It is not a perfect clock, but is awfully nice. The 28 inch rosewood veneered case is exceptionally nice and all original. It 9

10 retains all the original applied buttons. At first I thought one of the dials may not be original to this clock, but I believe that after you examine the dials closely you will agree that both are original to this case even though the colors are a different shade. The bottom dial is signed, Calendar, / Manufactured By /????? / Patented. I cannot make out the name but it is not Seth Thomas nor is it Mix or Andrews, both of whom made calendar movements for ST. It has a door latch, old brass bob, and complete black label on the door. I cannot swear that the glasses are original, so I will go with replaced. The calendar hand is not like those pictured in the ST books so it must be a replacement. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 93. $600-$ $710 Howard & Davis, Boston, No. 4 Banjo, ca day weight driven time only wall clock in a rosewood grain painted cherry case. It is 32 inches long, complete, and has a dark color which is typical of the Howard & Davis clocks. It was restored at some point in the past. Both glasses are original but no doubt had a lot of paint loss for the black has been redone over the original gold. You can see a little of the gold flaked before the restoration. The dial was repainted, but poorly for the paint is blistered, mostly there as of now but should be repainted properly. The baffle board may be a replacement, the old weight is a banjo weight, unnumbered, and it also was painted black. The 8 day movement is original to the case and held to the case with a single screw thru the backboard, which is proper. The bob is proper. The hands are the style seen in this model. $750-$ $410 Seth Thomas Clock Company, Thomaston, Conn. U.S.A., ca The polished walnut case is 27 inches high, complete, and original. We rarely see this model in nice original condition. This one has an excellent black label on the back of the door. Both painted metal dials have the original paint and has held tight. That is unusual for ST painted dials this old. The lettering on both dials is legible but faded some. Other parts including the hands, pendulum, door latch, and both movements, are original. I cannot vouch for the glasses. I cannot see any tracks where glasses were replaced, but neither can I see bubbles or waves in the glasses. The running movement is 8 day, signed, and striking a brass bell on the hours. The calendar movement is original, as are the roller papers. The papers are very dark which is typical of all calendar movements with original rolling papers. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 105. $500-$ $100 Ansonia Clock Co. Royal Bonn case, La Verdon, ca This model is one of their larger clocks. It is inches high and 13.5 inches wide. It is also a very stylish model with the shell top, twist columns on the sides and the wonderfully painted case. As you know the majority of their models have painted flowers on the front, sides, and top, with a smattering of gold highlighting. This clock is clean and shining, has no chips, breaks, or repairs. Think about that. The clock is over 100 years old, made of clay, painted, kiln fired, and accessories installed, and has been hauled and handled hundreds of times, and it is still like new. The two piece porcelain dial is signed in two places, it has correct hands, open escapement, beveled glass, French sash, and a brass back cover. The movement runs 8 days, strikes half hours on a Cathedral gong, and has the correct brass pendulum. Ly-Ansonia #2642. $500-$ $100 Ansonia Clock Co. La Manche, Royal Bonn case, ca 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 underneath has been replaced. This case does not have the German Royal Bonn insignia on the back. This is a keeper and very nearly did not get in this sale. Ly-Ansonia, page 615. $500-$ $100 Ansonia Clock Co. Royal Bonn cased, La Manche, ca Identical to #65 except for the colors. This case is primarily covered with lavender shades and the usual flowers on the front and sides. The case is near perfect like the two previous clocks. Two piece porcelain dial is signed two places, has correct hands, open escapement, beveled glass and French sash. On the back is the German Royal Bonn logo. The brass back is correct as are the pendulum, Cathedral gong, and the 8 day movement. It is running and striking half hours on the Gong. We don t get Ansonia Royal Bonn clocks any nice than the three just listed. You would not be disappointed with any of the three. Just select the color of your choice. Ly-Ansonia, page 615. $500-$ $1110 Seth Thomas Clock Co. hanging, Lunar, ca This is only the seventh Lunar we have sold in 40 plus years. Back in the day we sold them for over $3000. The book value then according to a panel of experts was $4000. That was before it was declared that every American should own their own home even if they could not make the payments. The case is oak, 36 inches tall, not including the weights and chains. It is all original, clean and polished, except for the brass weights. The movement is lyre shaped with an extension on the top that holds the hammer that strikes the large cup bell on the hours. The extension also supports the moon phase dial that orbits behind the time dial. The weights are grooved and have some small dents on the end caps. It has a decorative cast pendulum bob, wood stick, original brass chains with wooden acorns on the end, door lock, winding key, and a painted dial. The dial and moon phase dial were repainted by The Dial House. We rarely see this model for sale because very few were made. Ly-Seth Thomas, pages $1200-$

11 68. $1600 Southern Calendar Clock Co. Saint Louis, Missouri, Fashion No. 3, ca This model was one of 10 made by this company. Seth Thomas had a retail store in Saint Louis and they were approached by the Culver Brothers to make a calendar clock for them. The Fashion clocks were made by ST in their east coast factory. The Culver brothers had already established a method of marketing in the south selling cook stoves to farmers. That business was struggling so they decided to try clocks. The No. 3 was a short pendulum model and used a Texas Star pendulum bob as standard issue. The solid walnut case is 32 inches high, clean and original, including the finials, which you rarely find on the Fashions. The dials were professionally repainted, and that is not unusual for the Fashions. The hands are correct as are the pendulum bob, Fashion glass, key lock, labels, large bell, dial rings, and both movements. The clock is running briskly. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 119; Ly-Calendar Clocks, page $1800-$ $410 Ansonia Clock Co. Royal Bonn cased clock, La Roche, ca This colorful case is 13.5 inches high and 12.5 inches wide, has no chips, breaks, cracks and is decorated in Ruby red with abundance of flowers on the front and sides. It has a smattering of gold highlights but far less than we see on most of their Royal Bonn clocks. The factory stamp is on the back and the movement and dial are signed by Ansonia. Not to nip pic but the case, metal parts, porcelain dial, etc. has not been cleaned and would benefit from soap and water at least. It has a good two piece porcelain dial, correct hands, and open escapement. It also has a nice beveled glass in the sash, a proper pendulum bob and key, and a metal cover over the movement opening in back. The 8 day movement is running and striking half hours on a gong. Ly-Ansonia, page 622. $600-$ $1010 New York Standard Watch Co., Jersey City, N.J. wall regulator, time only, battery driven, in a wonderful mahogany case, ca The case is immaculate, clean and polished, all original with pegged top and base pieces. The movement has been recently serviced and the case cleaned and polished. The painted dial is 13.5 inches, has some chipping around the edges especially and they have been over painted, now with a much better appearance. Note the three hands including the large sweep second hand, are all original. The door glass is old and we believe original to the case. The pendulum is nickel, and below the pendulum a wood beat scale is attached to the base of the case. The mahogany case is 33 inches high and retains both the original pegged top and bottom. We have been unable to find another example of this exact style. Similar clocks by this maker usually sell in the $1000-$2000 range. $1250- $ $400 Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Co. wall model Observatory with Coca Cola advertising, ca 1920 s. Very few remain with the original advertising, Drink Coca Cola on the dial. These Coke clock dial and glasses are often duplicated and are abundant with modern dials and glasses. Reverse painted on the lower glass is, In Bottles 5c. We have never seen an original dial that was not severely faded, ours is no exception, but you can read, Drink Coca Cola. The reverse painting on both glass is old and has minor paint flaking. My feeling is that they are original but I will not guarantee it, so bid as if both glasses might be replacements. The Observatory mahogany case is 35 inches tall, original, and very nice. The pendulum, stick, hands, and the 8 day time only movement, are all original. Recent sales, when dials are original, are in the $750 range. $500-$ $100 Waterbury Clock Co., Waterbury, Conn. mantel weight clock, Elberon, ca The large walnut case is 33 inches tall, still with the original finish and the many original wood pieces making up the very attractive clock. The only thing out of the ordinary that I see is a board attached underneath. It appears the original bottom board was deteriorating and they added the new board for support. You can see the positioning of the new board in the side picture of the partial label on the case back. The weights, pendulum, gong, alarm movement, alarm set ring, are all original. I cannot say for sure if the painted dial and hands are original. The dial is very nice so may have been repainted. The 8 day movement is running with the two large brass weights in place. This is a very attractive and very nice mantel clock. Ly-Waterbury #1478. $500-$ $900 Waterbury Clock Co. weight banjo, Willard No. 3, ca Mahogany case is 42 inches high and has extra wood trim not found on most other Waterbury models. There are balls around the base, grooved tail, tail finial, and wood finial on top. They used a wood finial or a brass finial on this model. Cast gilt trimmings include the side rails and bezel. The original bottom glass is near perfect with no paint loss. The throat glass is beginning to chip around the edges and there is tape there now to hold the remaining paint. You cannot tell from the front. The 8 inch porcelain dial is just another feature that makes this clock so nice. It is perfect and signed. A large bowed glass is over the dial. You may question the hands for they are not like those pictured in the Waterbury books. It has an 8 day time only movement, weight driven, and in very good condition. The brass pendulum bob, wood stick, and weight, are original. There is a small label of instructions on the weight chute metal cover, and a partial label on the case back. I sold this clock for $1500 not long ago. Like many collectors, he is downsizing. Ly-Waterbury #123. $1000-$ $710 Ansonia Clock Co. weight driven wall clock, Prompt, ca Dark oak case is 50 inches tall, original and complete. There are a great many applied ornaments including finials of sorts, balls, several carved ornaments top and bottom, and three good glasses. The case apparently has never been cleaned as it retains the darkened 11

12 oak finish and now with at least two years of accumulated dust and grime. It has been in a workshop/ repair shop for two years and no one bothered to clean it, including me. I should have cleaned the front glass for as you can see it is dirty and streaked. The original brass pendulum bass, brass weights, and brass dial rings are all in need of polishing. The dial is signed and we believe original. On the base is the big Waterbury beat scale and on the case back is a complete label. The movement was serviced a few days before the clock came to me so if you don t mind the dirty case you can hang the clock and enjoy. I think you will want to clean and polish it. Ly-Ansonia #599. $1000-$ $3000 Seth Thomas, Thomaston, Conn. Office Calendar No. 13, ca Old oak case is 49 inches high, retaining the original finish, now dark and not cleaned or polished in a long time. The pictures will reveal the clocks shortcomings, none are earth shattering. The original painted dials are faded, but they are original. The little wood knob on top is missing and there is a bit of damage on the top right back corner, see side picture. Otherwise all original, just dirty and brass probably never polished, 8 day movement is dirty but it is running. It has the correct weight coming down the right side, the Do Not Oil label is intact behind the calendar movement, and pendulum bob and stick are original, same with the beat scale, two door locks, and large glass. The clock and movement are shown in Ly-Calendar, pages We have seen sales for this model fetching up to $8000. With the few minor shortcomings we estimate $4000-$ $300 Howard No. 5 Banjo type clock. It is factory made but not signed by the maker, perhaps a Howard reproduction in the 1970 s, cannot say for sure. Note the weight is identical to the original No. 5 s. The pendulum and rod, pulley, and the 8 day brass movement are the type Howard would have used. The movement is signed, Elgin Craft and the case is stamped number 14. The 29 inch high case looks to me like walnut, stained very dark, and of course in excellent condition. It has the two door latches like Howard used, and the glasses are painted in the same design as Howard s, but are a dull maroon color, not red as seen on the original Howard glasses. The 8 day movement is running. The dial and hands are excellent and correct, but not signed. $500-$ $800 Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. Ithaca, NY, Index calendar model, ca 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. $900-$ $1000 Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. Ithaca, NY, Chronometer, calendar clock ca Shelf model with a perpetual calendar invented by Henry B. Horton, one of the founders of the Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. He sold his interest in 1883, and died the year this clock was made. The 33.5 inch walnut case is complete and original except for one tiny piece of trim on the top left side. The 8 day movement is running strong and striking hours on a coil gong. The unusual pendulum bob and wood stick are original. The paper dials are old, but how old you cannot tell for they are easy to obtain and replace. The hands on the time dial are suspect. The gold leaf Chronometer on the old glass is very good. A complete paper label is on the backboard. Ly-Calendar #364. $1000-$ $100 Union Clock Co. Bristol, Conn. OG cased calendar clock with a thirty hour spring driven movement. Possibly used Gilbert cases and movements. Complete black label inside but the only maker s identification it has is, Union Clock Co.. The 26 inch high rosewood case is very nice and has a few tiny veneer chips on the very bottom. Glasses, dial, hands, and the fancy brass pendulum, are all original. It is running and striking hours on a coil gong. I could not get a discernible picture of the black label. $150-$ $1000 L.F. & W. W. Carter eight day weight timepiece calendar clock, ca 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 label. The 8 day weight driven movement has solid plates, retaining power, steel-pivoted rolling pinion. The weight cords are good and the pair of weights are 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 annually6 with former partner Elias Burwell for the calendar mechanisms patented by B. B. Lewis. Some collectors call this model Burwell & Carter. In fact the Millers in their book, Calendar Clocks, say that our clock was made by Burwell & Carter when they were partners. Ly-Calendar, pages $1250-$ $400 Seth Thomas, Thomaston, Conn. Parlor Calendar No. 3, ca The 27 inch high walnut case has been beautifully cleaned and polished and all the various parts are original. There is a side door lock, complete label on the door, old pendulum bob, and two original 12

13 painted dials. There has been some touch up to paint chips, dials are signed, and the hands are correct. The 8 day movement is a strong runner and strikes hours on a large brass bell. I am tempted to keep this one, but have no place to put it. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 105. $500-$ $400 Seth Thomas, Thomaston, Conn. Parlor Calendar No. 4, ca (The label is dated September 1 st, 1878). A sticker above the label says, Pop s old clock. Has his year of birth on it. Clock is in as found condition, finish has darkened, probably never cleaned, has some corner veneer chips, worst is on the top right and it is not all that bad. The walnut case is 25 inches high. The glasses and brass bezels are original, as is the lock on the case side. Both dials and hands are original. They are yellowed slightly and the paint is very good for ST clocks of this age. It has the complete door label, old pendulum and key, brass bell, and 8 day signed movement that is running and striking hours on the bell. Ly-Seth Thomas #257. $500-$ $100 Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. Ithaca, NY, No. 8 Shelf Library, the older model, ca The walnut case is 25 inches high, has the original back board with majority of two large paper labels, and all the original clips that hold the back to the case. The top ornaments are original (that is unusual), and have factory numbering on them. The movements are clean, running, have the original pendulum bob, and a signed Ithaca winding key. This clock has an alarm movement in the very bottom of the case, and in fact, winds in the bottom below the calendar dial. It rings on an iron bell while the running movement strikes on a coil gong. Ly-Calendar Clocks, page 140. $500-$ $ $100 Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. Ithaca, NY, No. 14 Granger, ca Walnut case is 26 inches high, clean and complete. It has a new backboard otherwise it is all original. The fancy printed dial is probably original and is darkened and a little shabby around the winding arbors. The hands, pendulum, and signed winding key are all correct. The three movements are operating properly and striking on their respective gongs. The 8 day running movement is clean, runs strong, and was recently serviced. Note the alarm movement is in the bottom of the case and is wound below the calendar dial. Ly- Calendar #352-A. $500-$750. Seth Thomas, Plymouth Hollow, Conn., Empire mantel clock, ca ST made this model with many different finishes on the columns, this one has rosewood columns and they named the clock, Column O.G. This clock is very rare for it has an alarm within the running lyre movement. Powered by three weights, two large, and one small. Check out the side picture for the complete label, alarm bell attached beside the strike gong. The movement is signed and is operating properly. The old zinc dial has had some chips overpainted and is very presentable. The rosewood case is 32 inches high; veneer is very good with very few chips. All three glasses are original and very nice. If I had the space this one would be a keeper. I would stain over the few scratches and chips and you would not be able to tell it. I may have had one or two other ST Empire style clocks with an alarm but don t remember them. It must surely be a rare clock. Ly-Seth Thomas, pages $500-$ $1000 French portico or 4 pillar skeleton clock, under a glass dome, ca The porcelain dial is signed, Leroy A Paris. This model skeleton was made in significant numbers by several French clockmakers during the period. It is made similar to a turret clock in that the two trains are laid out horizontally. They were made with a nine rod mock gridiron pendulum and most generally had a silver bell above the movement, like this one does. It has an articulated linkage to the hammer which strikes the silvered bell above the movement, from the rear. The exposed two train movement is supported on four brass pillars and heavy plates with other heavy brass columns beneath. The three weeks duration movement has been running and striking perfectly as I ran a test here in the office. It finally stopped after 24 days, 3 days past what was advertised. It takes an unusual winding key and it will be with the clock. The clock itself is 20 inches high, sitting in the wood base with the dome in place it is 22 inches high and 22 inches wide. We do not know if the large wood base and glass dome are original to the clock. We do know it is a very large piece of glass. The dome and clock was consigned to us by a Catholic Church in Nevada, packed in a motor home luggage compartment for the trip east. The clock is in very good original condition. It is probably the finest skeleton clock we have ever offered in our 40 years of auctioning fine clocks. In our research we found auctions in Europe and the United States where identical clocks had sold in the $6000 to $7500 range. For a good reference see, Continental & American Skeleton Clocks, page 94. $6000-$ $3000 French Great Wheel Skeleton Clock, ca Most all great wheel skeleton clocks were made between 1800 and 1830 and they all had many features in common. Most used an inverted Y frame, this one more of a cathedral frame. The great wheel is the principal feature of the clock and it usually runs a month with a fusee movement. This spring barrel is beneath the base with the wire fusee spool directly behind the great wheel. The appeal of the great wheel clock is its simplicity. The clock has been running steadily for a month and the wire on the fusee spool has only unwrapped an inch or so; it must be a year clock. Most of these types of clocks were not signed. It takes a large winding key and it will be with the clock. The great wheel is 8.5 inches in diameter and the pendulum has silk suspension. With the dome on the base the clock is 18 inches high. The base is wood with probably replaced felt on 13

14 the wood base. This skeleton, like No. 86 above, came to us from a Catholic Church in Nevada. They were bequeathed to the church years ago and have been in storage there for several years. Recently the Church decided to sell the clocks and contacted us to auction them. This type clock is pictured and described in the book, Continental & American Skeleton Clocks. $4000-$ $1400 Waterbury Clock Co. Regulator No. 7, a clock made in the 1900 s and copied from an original pictured in Ly-Waterbury #534. Originals made over 100 years ago have been selling in the US for $10,000 to $15,000. We have seen these reproductions go for $5000 and more at northeast auctions. In fact, we know some people have aged them considerable and sold them at auction as being over 100 years old. We have sold a half dozen or so in the last 10 years and most of the new owners stained them a shade darker. The one pictured has been stained a darker shade. No. 89 below has the original finish which is lighter. That is why the minimum is less. One customer told us when he finished staining the case it looked 100 years old. The clock is 85 inches high and 26 inches wide at the top. The door has two hook latches. It has an 8 day pinwheel movement that is running and keeping accurate time. The movement is in a metal box with side doors, and it rests on a metal bracket, like the old pinwheel movements. The movement is quality and buyers tell us it is identical to the 100 year old movements. The porcelain dial is 12 inches, it has a great lyre pendulum, brass weight, and all are perfect. $1500-$ $1210 Waterbury Clock Co. Regulator No. 7. Identical to No. 88 except a lighter shade of oak. Ly-Waterbury #534. $1300-$ $6000 Walter H. Durfee, American Hall Clock, ca 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. The iron weights are painted a brass color. I would recommend, as with any valuable clock that has been idle or in storage, that you have it serviced by a professional, assuming that you are not experienced with clock movements. The pendulum rod is steel and the bob is brass. The beautiful mahogany case is 101 inches high (8 ft. 5 in.) and 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. The clock like any 125 years old is not perfect but any inadequacies are not noticeable. When I had the bonnet off I noticed there was a small piece of wood missing on the back of one broken arch. Presently the clock is in my home in Hilton Head, SC. We can bring it back to Lexington or any point between, or you can pick it up either place, or we can arrange for a professional antique hauler to deliver it to you. $7,500-$10, $100 Gustav Becker three weight Grand Sonnerie striking wall clock, ca It is missing the top finial, the weights may not be original to the movement, and the dial has been professionally repaired, and the movement is not signed. We identified the clock by research in the book, "Gustav Becker Clocks", by Tran Duy Ly, pages The walnut case is 47 inches tall, several pieces painted ebony, and the base designs are very nice. The brass is polished, it has three good glasses, a brass beat scale and a door latch on the side. The solid plate brass movement is attached to a wood seat board that slides into a wood bracket. A low low price for a three weight Vienna. $500-$ $4000 Precision Free Pendulum Astro Wall Regulator. The precision regulator is identical to the original Strasser & Rhode model with its free pendulum double suspension. Several dozen of these clocks were sold in Europe for $17,500 each. This is the identical clock that was sold in Europe. A few have been sold in the USA for around $7,000. A collector bought three of them a few years ago but could not keep them and we were able to buy this one. The beautiful walnut case is 58 inches tall and 16.5 inches wide. There is a compounded weight on the left side and the movement receives its maintaining power with a pivot impulse on the top of the suspension spring within a ruby jewel. There is not any crutch in back of the movement. The impulse of the pivot pin on the jewel provides enough power to propel the heavy nickel pendulum that weight about 30 pounds. It has a magnificent beveled glass in the lower panel of the front door, and it has glass on both sides of the case. The silvered dial is 9.5 inches in diameter and it has wonderful blued steel hands for the lower hour hand, the upper second s hand, and the central minute hand. It has a matching matted finish winding key that fits within the hour hand center post to wind the clock. As you may notice I am using someone else s pictures because it is a very complicated clock and I am not able to put it together for a picture. It came to me packed for shipment and I have not unpacked it. $4000-$

15 301. $40 French dresser/novelty clock with gold wash finish and porcelain dial. It stands 11 inches high, is complete and all original including hands, 8 day time only movement and pendulum. The movement is signed, Brevet / Paris / SCDG / B.B., and some kind of bug as the insignia. Excellent dial and the clock is running. $50-$ $700 Tambour Art Glass mantel clocks made by the McKee Glass Company of Jeannette, Pa., ca 1930 s, in a variety colors, including, Amber, Amethyst, Blue, Canary, Green, and others. They are 14 inches long and 6.25 inches wide. They have a 30 hour Lux movement, 4 inch dial with fancy hands and a glass front with gold plated bezel. McKee Glass Company has been in business since 1853 and their Tambour Art Glass clocks have been collected by many people over the years. We recently purchased this seven piece collection. We will sell the set to one buyer if the bid for the set exceeds the total bids for the individual seven pieces. $700- $ $100 Tambour Art Glass mantel clock in Amber glass case. Bowed glass in the sash, dial signed, Made In U.S.A.. Time only movement winds in the back. Complete but not running. $100-$ $100 Tambour Art Glass mantel clock in Amethyst glass case. The gold plated bezel is tarnished. Not running. The collector who had the clocks for many years never wound them, hence not running, surely needs oiling. $100-$ $100 Tambour Art Glass in a light green case. Same as #304. $100-$ $71 Tambour Art Glass in a pale green case. I had a surprise with this one. It has a signed New Haven porcelain dial with hands, and their nice metal perforated back door, and a battery movement inside. Evidently the collector was only interested in the different glass cases. $75-$ $100 Tambour Art Glass in a green case. This one will run. $100-$ $100 Tambour Art Glass. Amethyst case is slightly different shade than #304. It will run. It has a tiny corner chip. $100-$ $71 Tambour Art Glass in a green case. Another example of the collector only being interested in the cases. This one has a movement but no winding key or hand set key. $75-$ $121 Ridgeway floor clock, made in Germany, ca 1970 s. The 8 day movement is running and signed Gravely Furn. Co. / Made In Germany. It strikes Westminster chimes, is running, and has a strike-silent lever. The plain case is light walnut, and there are no frills or extras except the finial. The two doors catch with a magnet and the back over the movement is removable. That is a nice extra. The pendulum and pendulum rod are brass. The dial is very attractive with cast brass spandrels on the corners, a silver dial ring, and silver globe above the dial. $150-$ $300 Ansonia Clock Co. wood case mantel clock, Monarch, ca The clock was refinished some years ago and it is superb with one tiny exception. The urn on top is missing the two little handles. They are thin and fragile and are most generally are broken or lost. The black walnut case is 24.5 inches tall, has lots of carved ornaments attached over the case. It has a beautiful sash around the dial, one of Ansonia s finest. The dial is original, as are the hands, the Cathedral gong, beat scale, and pendulum. There is a drawer in the base to store the key. The glass is perfect. The 8 day movement is running briskly and strikes a Cathedral gong on the half hours and hours. Other than the one small problem this may be the best example of the Monarch I have seen. Ly-Ansonia #1780. $400- $ $110 French marble clock by Vincentti & Cie, ca It is a beautiful contrasting black and brown mottled marble. It has the usual tiny chips on the edges, but being black they don t show, you have to feel them. I first thought I had a near perfect clock. The round 8 day French movement is signed, running, and striking half hours on a nickel bell. The serial number on the pendulum is the same as on the movement. Surprise, you rarely see that. The case is 16 inches wide and 8 inches high. There is a beveled glass in the sash and the dial is wonderful, the marble dial is matching the marble of the case. The brass numerals are raised. $200-$ $100 Seth Thomas, Thomaston, Conn. U.S.A., ca ST made this identical style over many years of their existence, but this one was possibly made closer to I say that because it is in excellent condition and shows very little wear anywhere. The brass bezel and ring is not as bright as when original but otherwise it is in great condition. These ST short drop clocks make excellent wedding or Christmas gifts. The dial is original and still very nice. The hands, pendulum bob, glasses, 23.5 inch oak case, and complete paper label, are all excellent. The 8 day movement is running and the calendar is changing properly. Ly-Seth Thomas #246. $150-$

16 311. $121 French Carriage clock, 8 day time and alarm. It is 6 inches high with handle up. There are 5 beveled glasses, 4 are perfect but one side glass has a tiny corner chip. The porcelain dial has designs around the hand arbors. The hours are shown in Roman, the minutes in Arabic. The dial has some spider webs and chips in both upper corners. They have been repaired and difficult to see unless you hold the clock at a certain angle. The dial is signed, Spancenefac, or something close to that. The lever movement is running and it alarms on a nickel bell. A carriage clock key is included. $150-$ $ $110 Round hanging barometer, complete and original. It is a very unusual model with a large wall hanger on top. The elaborate wood case is 10 inches in diameter. The metal dial ring is 6 inches. It is not signed on the visible parts. I did not take it apart to check inside. It is not working properly. $100-$150. E. Terry s / Cheap Thirty Hour / Clocks, / Movements Made by / H. Welton, Terryville, Conn., copied from the label of this miniature weight driven ogee mantel clock, ca Welton took over Terry s clock business in 1841 and failed in The rosewood veneered case is 21 inches tall, very dark, probably never cleaned. The veneer is good with only a couple of corner nicks. The old mirror has some loss of silver, and the top glass is old. The old wood dial has extra holes and shows some wear, the label is intact with minor loss where the weights descended. It has a pair of small square iron weights, old pendulum, door latch, and coil gong. The 30 hour movement is dirty but functioning. $150-$ $271 Seth Thomas & Sons, New York, metal stature clock, ca Original finish was a bronze color, now the metal is basically a copper color. The smelter, or pot metal case is brittle and easily broken, therefore most of the ST & Sons cases have been repaired somewhere. On this one the rake and scythe has been reattached. It is 18 inches high, complete of everything except the hands. It has the correct pendulum, back metal cover with the original thumb screw. The round 15 day movement is signed, dirty, and not running. Ly- Seth Thomas, page $300-$ $100 Round gallery clock with a 13 inch dial and an 8 day time and striking movement. It is running and striking on a gong. Paper dial on an aluminum type metal pan. Door on the base to access and hang the pendulum. Removable door on the back to access the movement. The movement is signed only S. I would guess the clock is not 50 years old and no doubt foreign made. $100-$ $271 Chelsea Clock Co. Boston, Corvette, ca Clock and matching barometer. The Chelsea book, The First Hundred Years, says that the barometer on this model did not have the thermal scale due to their difficulty in finding a supplier of the curved thermometer tubes. This model has matching 2 ¾ inch dials, bronze cases, yellow brass cradle, and spokes. Both pieces are on a brass rod allowing them to be tilted to suit. It sits on a 9 inch wide wood base and is about 5.5 inches high. Both silver dials are signed and the clock is running. $300-$ $71 Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Co. Winsted, Conn. oak mantel clock, Geranium, ca Oak case is 24 inches high and near perfect. If I said perfect, you would find something wrong. Complete paper label on the back, original glass, pendulum, gong, dial rings, hands, and 8 day brass movement. It is running and striking half hours on a wire gong. Originally it had an alarm, but now is missing. It still has the alarm set ring in the dial. Ly-Gilbert #1185. $75-$ $61 Terry & Andrews / Bristol, Ct., one day steeple clock, ca The brass lyre movement has the original brass springs, and is signed as indicated. We have sold hundreds of Terry clocks from David Clark s collection, and this was the last clock in his collection.

Inside is the original pendulum, nickel bell, nickel rings, replaced dial and hands, and one day movement with a built in alarm. On the back is a good paper label. Overall a very nice mantel clock. Ly-New Haven #1337. $75-$ $200 Waterbury Clock Co.? Parlor clock. The 22 inch high walnut case has a great deal of appeal and includes some carvings, full columns, applied ornaments, and grooved designs all over. I am always amazed and a little angry when I receive clocks like this and later realize some slick barnyard Bubba has put one over one me. It is a great case but has no label or other indications who may have made it. I checked all the major clockmakers books and cannot find this case. Presently it has a new glass in the door, a new dial pan and dial paper, and I would assume a replaced signed Waterbury movement. That makes 16

17 it a Waterbury clock, right? It is running and striking a coil gong and it has a very nice pendulum. $200-$ $371 Seth Thomas Clock Co. Chime Clock No. 1 Special, ca The mahogany veneered case is 15 inches wide and 13.5 inches high. Overall the case is in very nice condition and has all original parts including the back cover.

Ly-Seth Thomas, page 148. $400-$ $321 Ansonia Brass and Copper Co. / Ansonia, Conn., Drop Extra with Coca Cola advertising, ca 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 correct pendulum bob. The 8 day movement is running and striking a coil gong. Ly-Ansonia, page 168. $350-$ $100 Briggs Rotary Pendulum Clock / US Patent August 1855 / A Horolovar Reproduction, copied from an inscription on the top brass plate. Like new with correct glass dome.

The same name is on the complete/dark label on the backboard. Ca The movement is complete and running. It is missing the gong. If you will remind me I will include one when the clock is shipped. The 16 inch high iron case is fantastic. Painted decorations and mother of pearl all over the case. It comes with both brass sashes, old painted dial, and some new glass that should fit the lower sash. There are no hands, pendulum, or gong. $200-$ $271 Chelsea Clock Co. Boston, Corvette, ca Clock and matching barometer are mounted on a brass rod allowing both to be tilted to suit. It has matching 2 ¾ inch dials, 17 bronze cases, yellow brass cradle, and spokes.

Thomaston, Conn., City Series model Danville, ca This is a very rare model and I have only seen two. Collectors have sent me pictures of seven others asking me to identify them so we know there are a few others out there. The walnut case is 20.5 inches high, complete and all original except for the glass. The original glass would have had painted designs. This case like most other early City Series models, has carvings, grooves and etched designs all over. There are small applied wood pieces. The brass pendulum is one of a half dozen styles ST used in their City Series clocks. About two thirds of the black label is still in the case. There are also a brass pendulum hanger, large Cathedral gong and base, brass dial rings, and correct and original painted dial and spade hands. The 8 day movement is running and the alarm movement is functioning. Both the upper movement and alarm movement strike on the Cathedral gong. Ly-Seth Thomas #2466. $250-$ $310 Seth Thomas & Sons, crystal regulator, Empire No. 15, ca Eight day round movement, hour and half hour strike on Cathedral bell. I would call it a hanging coil gong. Four inch porcelain dial, imitation mercury pendulum, and correct original hands. The clock is running and striking. Overall the case retains a nice gold finish but does have some loss near the base. The beveled plate glass in the back door has a corner chip, the other three are good. The dial is signed, A. Kurtzeborn & Sons, and the movement is signed ST. Ly-Seth Thomas, #737. $400-$ $10 New Haven Clock Co. desk clock, ca The green onyx case is 9.5 inches wide, 6 inches deep, and 5 inches high. The piece is perfect and the movement is running. The dial is signed two places, back wind and set movement, and felt glued underneath. The two pens are nothing, I just put them there for the picture. The pen holders are on a swivel and the onyx base has a rounded out slot near the front, for pencil, paper clips, etc. $50-$ $10 Novelty 4 dial table clock, ca vintage. Vintage means I don t know its age, but the wood case is held together with Philips screws and all four movements are quartz I would say it is not real old. It is 25 inches tall and fairly heavy. All 4 dials, hands, etc. are identical. The clock is complete and with good batteries all the movements are functioning. $50-$ $100 The Lux Manufacturing Company, Waterbury, Conn. made this exact replica of the American landmark, The Town Hall in 1942, just before they began making products for the war effort. The case is made of synthetic wood. The one day movement is running and rings the bell on half hours and on the hours. The weights depict the

18 American Law Scroll. The pendulum is designed as an open book with gavel lying diagonally across. It is 12 inches high. This is the first of the Town Hall model we have sold. Ly-American Clocks, Volume 3, estimates the value at $ $100 German Wag on Wall, ca It has cuckoo weights, a brass pendulum, brass hands and a beaten copper/brass? dial. Numerals are etched on the front, designs and logo stamped from the back. The logo says, Why Then Tis Time To Do It. Evidently a German proverb. Dial apparently painted black or has blackened over time. The 30 hour movement has brass wheels inside a wood box with bell on top. Everything is quite nice, has no damage but evidently there were side covers over the movement originally. It is running and striking properly. $200-$ $400 Seth Thomas, Thomaston, Conn. early and rare City Series clock, St. Paul, ca One of their largest and most collectable of the City Series primarily because of the unusual pendulum. In the center is an etched glass, beveled around the edge, in a brass casing. Originally it would have had brass acorns on the sides and base, and a fleur de leis brass design over the top. It is a pendulum unlike any other and one I have bought, and sold, for over $100 in years gone by. The walnut case is 21 inches tall with some burl trim on the front, acorns on the sides. Over all this is a handsomely designed case. The dial is original albeit slightly faded, has correct hands, brass rings and brass bell. The 8 day movement is a strong runner, recently serviced, striking the bell on the hours, and is signed. I have sold this model over $1500 in days gone by. Ly-Seth Thomas #596. $500-$ $100 Seth Thomas, Thomaston, Conn. Chicago, ca 1874, one of their very first City Series clocks that began a tradition of producing over 100 different City models. At one time I had most all the models. Many people are collecting City Series clocks because they are not overly difficult to find them, are extremely well designed and constructed, and historically have held their value. This clock is all original including the glasses, dial, hands, pendulum, coil gong, and it has a complete paper label inside. In addition to the signed 8 day running movement that was recently serviced it has an alarm movement that rings on an iron bell. This model was so popular that the Chinese produced copies of them. This model is a very popular one because it can be used in any décor. The case is18 inches high, has some brass ornaments on the door, black columns gold painted capitals and bases, and a side door lock. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 188. $150-$ $100 Brewster & Ingrahams / Bristol, Conn., one day steeple clock, ca Clock is all original and in very nice clean condition. The dial is signed, hands, gong base and coil gong, and pendulum bob, are all original. The very nice tablet features a fairy playing the harp and above it is signed, Hark fairy notes the cherub sings how sweet the tribute that he brings. Doesn t that pull at your heart strings? Inside is an excellent paper label, one day movement that is running and striking hours on the gong. The mahogany veneered case is 20 inches tall, has no veneer chips or problems, but as usual the cone tips have lost a smidgen of their tips. $150-$ $10 Seth Thomas, Thomaston, Conn. Round Band, ca The rosewood veneered case is only 17 inches tall, with very good veneer all over. There is a working door latch, two excellent glasses, correct hands, old painted dial-with flaking around the top half, old pendulum bob and a winding key. The one day brass movement is running and striking on a coil gong. The gong base is signed and there is a near complete label inside. This little clock also has an alarm movement that sounds off on an iron bell. Ly-Seth Thomas #2206. $50-$ $200 Brewster & Ingrahams / Bristol, Ct. / U.S.A., signed on the large brass movement and the complete paper label. The 20 inch high mahogany veneered case has some unusual veneer. I almost called it rosewood. A brass escutcheon on the door, key lock, but no key. There are a few tiny chips but the cone finial tips are sharp. You don t usually see that. Both glasses are original and the old dark green label inside is complete. The painted dial is original but has several chipped places that have been overpainted, not exactly to suit me, but you can always have it repainted. The brass pendulum bob is fancy; the coil gong is attached to a brass gong base. The large 8 day movement is running and striking the hours. $250-$ $10 Waterbury Clock Co. weight mantel clock, Column, ca Rosewood case is 25 inches tall, veneer chips on top and base, shell columns with gilt on capital and bases. Gilt is fading. It has good original glasses, door latch, very decent zinc painted dial, and hands are not a match. One day brass movement is signed and striking on a coil gong. Good label inside and an old pendulum bob and key. The weights are modern iron, not original to this clock. The backboard is not properly attached, now being held with tape. Ly-Waterbury #1439. $50-$ $10 W. S. Conant, / No. 177 Pearl Street, New York, Ogee mantel weight clock, ca s. That is the extent of all information about this maker. The case and movement look like a Seth Thomas product, but he may have bought clocks from several makers, putting his label in them and selling over a long period. The inch mahogany veneered case is in as found condition, never cleaned or repaired in any way. There are some edge/corner veneer chips, crusty dark finish, old mirror and glass, but the mirror is probably a replacement. As you can see most of the label is intact, there is a decent wood dial, and hands that I forgot to put on for the picture. The one day weight movement is complete, unsigned, has good weight cords and old iron weights. The 18

19 pendulum bob and winding key are period for this type clock. $50- $ $100 Miniature French novelty banjo, ca The excellent porcelain dial is signed, France, and the movement is signed, H&H / Made In France. It has an 8 day balance movement, brass hinged back cover, beveled glass over the porcelain dial and original hands. The minute hand came off and is over the dial but I will not pull the movement or remove the brass bezel in front to fix it. The mahogany case is only 13 inches high. The movement was hesitant about running so I put some oil in 2-3 places and I believe it will not run. $100-$ $110 Seth Thomas, Thomaston, Conn. mantel clock with adamantine finish, ca The wood case is covered all over with black adamantine except the adamantine on the ends is a mixture of black, orange, and green, and the four columns are adamantine onyx.

Inside is the 8 day signed movement that is running and striking half hours on a Cathedral bell and striking the hours on a Cathedral gong. The adamantine has no chips or other problems. The sash has a flat glass over the paper dial ring and original hands. Many clocks of this style are pictured in Ly-Seth Thomas. $200-$ $100 Seth Thomas, Thomaston, Conn. mantel clockcabinet, Wye, ca Two tone mahogany case is 11 inches high, and what is called the Old English design.

Ly-Gilbert #204. $300-$ $400 Ansonia Clock Co., New York, crystal regulator, Marquis, ca The 15.5 inch high case is polished brass, and that is found on most all of their crystal regulators. What sets them apart are the ornaments around that brass box case. This model is similar to many 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 area. The imitation mercury pendulum and two pronged winding key are correct. It is running and striking half hours and hours on a standing Cathedral gong. Ly-Ansonia #334. $500-$ $100 Ingraham "Ionic Calendar", ca about A reproduction made by "H-C Clockmakers, Inc. Farmingdale, New York" and bought thru the National Association of Watch and Clockmakers.

It is in a nice 22 inch wood? case and copied expertly from an original. Label of the maker is inside. Good dials, hands, pendulum, and key. Compare to the one pictured in Ly-Ingraham #263. $150-$ $10 Japanese drop clock with calendar. It is an antique clock, not modern. Complete label inside says, "Kobe / Shimomura & Co.".

It is only 13 inches tall with the swing arm attached. The brass statue is mounted on a wood base. The swing arm has blue balls with brass numerals, hands, and other ornaments. It is an exact copy of the full size mystery ball swing clocks. The one day movements are in the top tall and they seem to always run with little or no tweaking. $100-$200.

The dial plate is brass and has brass spandrels on the corners, applied numerals and etched designs all over, and a moon phase rotation. The 77 inch high case looks to be mahogany, not real sure. It has a key lock on the door, two flat plain glasses, and overall is a very clean and almost new clock. $200-$ $210 Vienna Regulator with an 8 day two weight brass movement, ca The movement is not signed. It is running and striking a coil gong on the back of the movement. It strikes half hours and hours. It has a nice pair of hands, good brass dial rings, a two piece porce- 19

20 lain dial with thin hairlines at 4 and 10. The brass pendulum bob and wood stick, beat scale, and the door latch, are correct for the clock. It has two brass weights with pressed designs that are modern reproductions. The bottom finial is missing; otherwise the 46 inch high walnut case is complete. It has some carvings top and bottom and on the capitals and bases of the half columns. The case has three good glasses. Not a bad clock at this minimum. $250-$ $ $100 Gustav Becker 2 weight Vienna Regulator, ca The 8 day brass movement is signed and has a serial number, #163147, which is an early GB movement, in a more 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. $250-$350. Gustav Becker 2 weight Vienna Regulator, ca This is a very nice and very large clock. The walnut case is near 50 inches tall and appears to have all it original parts with the exception of one finial once on the headpiece.

The case has some burl walnut, full fluted columns on the door, carved capitals and bases on the columns, carvings on the headpiece and the tail. It has three glasses, key lock on the door, but no key. The weights, pulleys, pendulum bob, and dial center, all match. The wood stick has been broken at the top and repaired.

The movement is accessed by a hinged door on the back of the case. The clock inside and outside is complete, original, and in excellent condition. $250-$ $110 Miniature one weight Vienna. It is complete except for the bottom finial. It is 20 inches high, made like the large Vienna's with three glasses and finials top and bottom. It has full turned columns on the sides, pendulum bob and wood stick, and a miniature brass weight. The 3 inch porcelain dial is perfect. I hung the pendulum and it will not quit running. The little solid plate brass movement will run 2-3 days but the weight runs to the bottom in one day?? Yet, the movement runs even though the weight is at the bottom. Is the weight just for effect, serve no purpose? I cannot find a signature or logo anywhere. $150-$ $100 Gustav Becker 3 weight Vienna Regulator, ca Nice walnut case is 48 inches high, has the original top ornament and there are no finials with this clock.

It is running. Ly-Calendar Clocks #346. $250-$ $71 Kienzle, Germany box clock, ca This little walnut case is 30 inches high, has two door latches, glass viewing port on each side, and has wall levelers.

The walnut case is 38 inches tall, has three glasses, a side door latch, beat scale, lyre pendulum rod, and a winding key. $100-$ $71 Box clock, probably made in the Far East in recent years. The front of the wood case has an Oriental motif and is made of different shades of wood. It has carvings on the door sides and a side door latch. The 8 day movement is running and striking half hours and hours. It has the gentleman above the movement swinging a hammer and hitting a bell at the same time a hammer attached to the movement is striking an iron rod. I cannot get the seatboard out of its holder to inspect the movement. The case is 21.5 inches high. An interesting clock. $75-$ $71 German Box clock, ca For an inexpensive German box clock this one has some style. Note the layered effect on the top and base, carvings top and bottom, and silver door handle, silver trim around the lower glass, and the silver pendulum bob. The upper glass is flat, the lower glasses are beveled with the silver trim between the glass pieces. The dial is dirty and worn, and the hands are good. The 8 day movement is signed only, "Germany".

Inside is the porcelain beat scale, porcelain RA pendulum insert, brass bob with lyre hanger, and two piece porcelain dial, brass dial rings, and two correct hands. The unsigned 8 day movement is running and striking a coil gong. The case is not the finest we have seen, it needs some paint touchup, and cleaning inside and out. We priced it low to cover any restoration costs. $75-$ $121 Kienzle, Germany open well wall clock, ca A nice clock that is all original and complete. The only problem is the top piece is not attached to the clock. A small nail should take care of that. The walnut case is 35 inches tall, has three glasses, door latch, and a beat scale. The emblem on the brass pendulum and the dial are the same. The dial is enclosed behind the glass and door, whereas the pendulum is exposed and handled frequently, therefore the pendulum gets more wear. The dial ring is like plastic, but looks like porcelain. There are half columns on the door and some applied wood ornaments around the case. The movement is signed with the makers trademark, is running, and striking a coil gong on the half hours. $150-$ $10 Sessions Clock Co.

Ly-Ansonia #1058. $100-$ $10 Seth Thomas / Plymouth, Conn., on the 30 hour brass movement, and Seth Thomas, Thomaston, Conn., on the paper label. Both are correctly and often used in the same clocks. The paper label is very dry and brittle, therefore many small pieces of the label in the base of the case. The brass movement, gong, pendulum bob, pair of old iron weights, and winding crank, are all correct for this clock. The dial is original and losing some paint. The 25 inch high case is devoid of most all veneer and stained to appear to be all there. $50-$ $200 Birge, Peck & Co. / Bristol, Conn., column and cornice shelf clock, ca It has an 8 day strap brass movement that is tarnished but functioning well. The two large 8 day iron weights descend each side of the case thru weight channels. The clock strikes hours on a wire gong. Note there is a good label inside that features the popular Puffin Betsy locomotive. The rosewood veneered case is 32.5 inches high, has two working door latches, two original glasses and one replaced. The painted metal dial still has good paint and the pendulum bob and key appear to be period items. Other than the bottom glass I would say the clock is exceptionally nice. $300-$ $10 New Haven Clock Co., New Haven, Conn. Ogee weight clock, ca Mahogany case is 26 inches high, has only minor chips, door latch, and original glasses.

It hung in a Lexington doctor s home, likewise it would look good in your home. $25-$ $ $10 Chinese mantel clock, powered by two AA batteries. Stained wood case is 21 inches tall, complete with a lot of applied and turned decorations. It is what it is. $10- $25. New Haven Clock Co. hanging store regulator/shop clock, their model, Referee, ca Oak case is 35.5 inches high, complete and in very good condition. Both glasses are cracked, door latch is not correct, and the 8 day time only movement has been all over the case. Apparently the screws eventually did not fit the holes so the movement was relocated downward, several times. That required the original dial pan to be moved and eventually it needed new paper because of the changes. It has the correct pendulum and the movement is running. Ly-New Haven #596. $125-$ $ $21 Pillar and Scroll kit wood case. Stands 21.5 inches tall with brass finials, metal door knob, pendulum, and key.

It also rings on the bell underneath. The polished brass case is 7.15 inches high. It appears to have a new alarm hand, otherwise I believe it is all original. Ly-Ansonia #198. $50 -$ $21 Miniature shelf clock is only 9 inches tall. The mahogany case is very nice and I would assume it is over 150 years old. For its age it is excellent. It has a door latch, very nice original gold and black painted glass, painted metal dial that has only a few edge chips, what I think are original hands, and an iron bell, key and pendulum. The one day movement may be by S.B.Terry, but it is not signed and there is no label, so I 22

Ly-Seth Thomas, pages $100-$ $71 Seth Thomas, Thomaston, Conn. mantel/cabinet clock, ca This group of Seth Thomas clocks listed here in sequence came from a collector who bought near perfect clocks. I notice he wanted his dials to look new also so he had many repainted and some he installed paper replacements. This beautiful rosewood veneered case is outstanding considering it is 140 years old. The mirror and upper glass appear to be original. The dial was repainted and the ST hands were probably added at that time.

Beautiful rosewood veneered case is 14 inches high, with door latch, original tablet and top glass. Typical with this collector the dial was repainted and ST hands probably installed at that time. This little clock has a lot inside, complete label, iron bell, alarm movement, large 8 day lyre movement, and alarm set ring inside the painted dial. The clock is running and striking hours on the bell and the alarm rings on the same bell. Ly-Seth Thomas #2496. $150-$ $121 Seth Thomas, Thomaston, Conn. mantel clock, Column, ca An early shelf clock, not hardly as nice as the 5 previous Seth Thomas clocks but certainly is not bad.

The clock is completely original and in very nice condition for its age. The glasses, dial, label, gong, and brass movement are all original. One thing that always stands out to me is the dial, holes, and screws. This dial is held with the 3 original screws in the 23

24 same original screw holes. May not be a big deal but it tells me the clock has not been in Bubba s Clock Shop. It has an old pendulum and the 8 day movement is running and striking properly $200-$ $100 E.

It is a good looking mahogany case from the front and stands 52 inches high. It is missing the glass over the dial, the 24

25 back cover over the movement, and a pendulum. Should be an easy fix for most of you clock folks. $150-$ $10 Ansonia Clock Co. novelty dresser clock with stones all around the edge. The dial is signed in two places and it has several hairlines that are dark. If cleaned in an ultrasound those dark lines would disappear.

Note all these are in the Midwest. ST had saturated the north east and looking for new markets in the west. This was also the time they started making the Fashion clocks sold out of St. Louis. The walnut case is 15.5 inches tall and in very nice original condition. You may find one tiny veneer chip somewhere. The movement runs 8 days and strikes hours on a gong.

26 410. $100 Seth Thomas, Thomaston, Conn. mantel clock, Column, ca Note the size of this case is 19 inches tall, about the size of the small OG s and other mantel clocks ST was making thousands of during this period. This is one of the most unusual ST clocks I have ever seen. I can only imagine it was made for a foreign market, probably South America. The base, viewing port, columns, and top were all painted black. The other parts of the case are solid wood that is unknown to me. The grain is straight line. All over the black paint are gold splotches like chickenpox. I first thought it may have been a Bubba addition but it was put there originally for it has 100 years of smoke accumulated all over the case and has never been cleaned. Complete label, original dial, original glasses, door latch, pendulum bob, alarm movement, iron bell, coil gong and a one day brass movement. A very unusual clock.

Ly-Calendar, page 80; Millers-Calendar Clocks, pages $350-$ $100 Chinese mantel clock almost exactly like the Seth Thomas city series clock, the Chicago. Thousands of these have been imported and sold all over the US, many to unsuspecting buyer/collectors who thought it was the real ST Chicago. That said, it is a very nice clock. The case is nicer than many of the originals I have seen, and bought. The brass on the front is clean and polished, the glasses are original and nice, but the one bad part is the old dirty paper dial. It has a brass pendulum bob, Chinese gong base with coil gong, and an 8 day movement looking a great deal like the original ST movements. It is running and striking the gong correctly. $100-$ $400 Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. Hanging Library No. 6, ca The walnut case is 28 inches high, original, clean, and complete. The back board and all the clips holding it, are original. Note the label on the back is still pretty good. Inside the case everything is as it should be, the 8 day movement is running and striking the coil gong on the hours. There are century old pencil notations inside disclosing the clock being serviced. The pendulum is the correct type for this model. The paper dials are very old, slightly worn, but I would expect they would have been replaced at least once by this time. The hands are replacements and the calendar roller papers are old and dark. Overall this is a very nice original clock. Ly-Calendar #340. $500-$ $121 New Haven Clock Co. mantel clock, Trent, ca This is a well-designed walnut case that is 20 inches tall, complete and original. The glass and paint are original, hands are correct but dial paper is a replacement. It has an 8 day movement that is running and striking hours on a coil gong.

The case is original and complete, has original glasses, excellent label inside. I believe it is all there and working properly. The painted metal dial is very nice, the clock winds and runs. When the alarm goes off the apparatus lights a match that lights the lamp wick. $600-$ $100 Darche Electric Clock Co., Chicago, Illinois, electric battery alarm timepiece, ca I have seen a dozen or so of this model over the years, and none had all the attachments, i.e. wires, etc., but this is the nicest one I have ever seen. It has letters and names all over the case. The alarm clock is not running and there are no batteries hooked up to light the bulb. The copper finish is excellent and original. They also made it in nickel. It is 8 inches high and 12.5 inches wide.

I know there are coins in the box for I put some in to play the game. Recorded recent sales of this game are in the $1000-$1600 range. $500-$ $110 Original Shepard Hardware Cast Iron Jolly Nigger Mechanical Bank, ca The bank name is signed on the back of this cast iron mechanical bank. This is the most popular mechanical bank ever created because no other has been made in more variations, manufactured in more countries, or made for a longer time span. This is the first model produced by Shepard s, thus is the most collectable of all mechanical banks. Ours has well preserved eyes, the lips and coat were bright red originally, now faded and dirty. It is operational but the tiny coin opening on the base is missing. It is signed on the base and the back. $150-$ $1000 Original Horse Race mechanical bank, patented Manufactured by the J. E. Stevens Company and signed on top, Patented Aug. 15, Parts of a label on the round side reads, Horse Race Bank. The horses are both intact as is the jockey and original pull cord.

All mechanical parts are accounted for. A pristine example of this bank recently sold at auction for over $110,000. This piece is part of a 2000 piece collection we will be selling over many auctions $100 Belmont Jr, coin operated race horse game by Merchants Advertising Co. ca It takes nickels to operate the machine. You select your horse and the odds and points are awarded for the winner. I invested some nickels to see how it worked, and it performs as intended. The Vintage Arcade Preservation Society has 6,494 members who collect or sell games of this type and none of those members has owned the Belmont Jr game. They have asked for info on this game, so here it is. I hope they show some interest. The machine is quite heavy and large. It is 26 inches long, 16 inches wide, 9 inches high. On the back a drawer slides out to collect the coins. There is an old label of instructions inside the drawer. Above the drawer, around the mechanical parts of the game, there are two large sheets of operating instructions. I am unable to find a value for this rare machine but I suspect some collectors will let me know with their bids. $1000-? $100 The Plato Clock, stamped underneath the case.

New York, finance the production of about 40,000 Plato clocks, this model being the top of the line selling for $17 in The company also made Everready Batteries.

28 um size, 15 inches wide, 19 inches tall and 12 inches deep. It has a key lock, with key, and the original container in the back that you take out and dump the sucker s nickels. It sits on a wood base, has all the parts it started out with, and is signed all over, and has some instructions inside. It is operating properly as far as we can tell. We checked information on the internet and saw where it booked for $650 back in the 1990 s and I saw where a retail dealer bought one at a live auction for $525. $400-$ $10 Waterbury Clock Co. one day movement on top of a 6 inch high metal bank building.

The movement winds in back of the tin can, and it is running. The brass clock sits on top of a wood case; together they are 12 inches tall. In front is a Thermometre with Centigrade and Reaumur markings. Apparently a battery sits inside the case and rings the bell underneath the case. What does the bell have to do with anything? There is no setting for hour rings or an alarm. Does it ring on the hours The two piece dial is porcelain. Very unusual. $100-$ $200 Electricity coin operated shock machine.

The McKinley is pretty rare. The oak case is 23 inches tall, features pressed designs in the oak of flags, cannonballs, McKinley, anchors, and stars. The glass has flags, eagles, and war armament of various kinds. The pendulum is a common Ingraham style, dial is probably a replacement. The 8 day movement is running, striking a coil gong that is attached to a signed gong base. I must admit the guy stamped on the top of this case is not pictured in Ly-Ingraham but the clock is correct. Ly- Ingraham #304. $300-$ $200 E. Ingraham & Co. mantel clock, another of Ingraham s clocks in their Spanish American War series. This one features Admiral Lee on the crest.

Adams & Co. to manufacture and sell washing machines, and he also sold clocks just like this one. It was probably made by Ingraham, or other clock makers. His father you may remember was also a successful washing machine manufacturer and he sold out to the American Wringer Co. We have always assumed that they gave a clock to those buying their machines. Not true, they sold clocks and washing machines. This excellent walnut clock is 23.5 inches tall, has all its nice ornaments, etchings, finials, etc. and the original Liberty signed glass. The old dial is original and dark, but look great in the case. Nice label inside, brass pendulum bob, brass gong base with cathedral gong, and 8 day movement with a simple calendar. $250-$ $100 Terrapin with a clockwork movement under the plastic like (or real shell) terrapins back. The case is metal other than the back. The spring movement winds underneath. When you push down on the head, or the tail, it rings very loud on a large bell under the terrapins back. This novelty piece came from a hotel in Ohio where it sat on the front desk. Usually bells were used to ring for a Bellman. The back is very fragile and will break and/or chip is you do not handle gently. Head to tail is 7 inches. Very rare I am sure. I have never seen one before. $150-$ $100 Elephant that dispenses cigarettes. You fill the box on his back with cigarettes, would probably hold about a pack. You turn the elephant s tail and a roller inside the box turns allowing a cigarette to drop in a slot and it then drops it in the holder underneath the elephant.

29 119. $100 Coin operated Test Your Grip game by Gottleib Mfg. Co., Chicago, IL, ca s. These machines sell upwards of $2000 on EBay. It is a 1 cent coin machine and kids love it. The one hand grip in the middle is to test you hand grip strength. The two handles on the sides you operate with two hands, either pulling them together, or pushing apart to test your arm strength. The machine has been in regular use by a family of children, and probably adults, and overall for its age is in very good condition. $1000-$ $210 Coin operated machine, Lucky 7, made by Vendor Mfg Inc. Nashville, TN, ca 1950 s?? I found some Lucky 7 machines on the web, but they were large pinball type machines, and selling for big bucks. This is a 5 cent machine, desktop size, put your money in the slot, turn the handle and a pair of dice that are lying on a rubber mat begin to vibrate and the dice jump around until the vibration stops and then the dice come to rest. If you get seven, you win. What? I guess that depends on the players. The metal box is 14 inches long, 10 inches wide. Key lock on the back, with key. $300- $ $300 Coin operated card game, Twenty One, ca 1920 s. Played like regular Black Jack. Insert your coin, any denomination, pull the handle and you are given two numbers. In my deal I got 7 & 5. The House pulled their lever and got, Beat 18. I then pulled a small lever below the dial to draw a card/number. I drew 4, still good. I pulled a second lever and drew a 10, busted. House won. It does not look like you get a payoff from the machine, probably play with friends, one being House. I cannot find a makers name. There may be one somewhere on the inside parts. $300-$ $300 Junghans, Germany, small swinger on Diana statue. The metal statue is intact and retains it fine bronze patina. The perfect porcelain dial is signed, Junghans, Germany, and the hands are correct. The base has a black patina and it is very nice. The clock is ticking away as I examine the piece and write the description. The 8 day movement is set and wound on the back of course, and the swing arm itself retains most of its original gilding. It stands almost 16 inches high and overall is as fine an example of the Junghans mini swing as we have sold. $400-$ $100 Ansonia Clock Co., Ansonia, Conn. Jumper No. 2, ca The 14.5 inch high case is nickel plated and although showing a little age is still in relative nice condition. Naturally the parts that are handled more will show a little more wear. The original paper dial is clean, only slightly soiled on the four and five, and the hands appear to be original. The porcelain doll we believe to be correct for the Ansonia Jumpers but it is not like those pictured in the catalog. The doll is in excellent condition and the main reason we think it is correct because we have two other Jumpers either in this auction or upcoming auctions that we know the dolls are correct, and all three are very similar underneath the swing seat. The seats and dolls are one piece. The swing ropes may be replacements. Others we have are wire. The bobbing doll movement is a timepiece running one day. It is operating properly. The Jumpers and Swings usually sell at the large auction houses from $800 to $1000, even with replaced dolls. Ly- Ansonia, page 65. $600-$ $100 Ansonia Clock Co., Ansonia, Conn. Swing No. 1, ca The brass case still has a full coat of nickel on it and has hardly any wear. It is inches tall, complete and original. The one day timepiece movement is running. The tin can movement holder has the usual backwind and set knobs. It is running as I write this, HOWEVER, none of these old novelty clocks in this auction have been in operation or oiled for many years. They are part of a 2000 piece collection accumulated over many years. The dial is signed and slightly dark but no stains. The hands and glass are original so is the doll and swing $110 Oswald, German, Wise Old Owl, ca The 7.5 inch case is perfect, no chips or wear anywhere. The owl is signed, Germany on the back. I wound the one day movement but could not detect a tick. Like most others in this huge collection it has not been in operation in many years. Oil would probably take care of it. The body is molded composition on a book base. The left eye shows minutes, the right shows hours. $200-$ $10 Plato Clock Co. stamped underneath the case. It is believed that the Ansonia Clock Co. made the clocks for Plato. This model is their top of the line. Note the cast brass top with female head, and a matching cast brass base. The one day movement is running. There is no wind key on the base but I used a key from another Plato and got it running. The one fault with this clock is it is missing the three glasses around the center. $50-$ $100 Beating Heart Clock, Germany. A beautiful little clock in its own carrying or storage case. Can be removed from the case and used on a dresser or shelf for it has a fold out stand in back. The dial is signed, everything is original and in near perfect condition. The travel case doors close and latch in front. Like the previous clocks has not been wound or serviced in years. It was completely run down meaning it was running, but after I wound it nothing happened. Probably just needs some oil. $100-$ $710 Bradley & Hubbard, iron case clock, Continental, ca An early and very rare moving eye novelty clock, one of hundreds we will be offering this year. The movement is a 30 hour time only, blinking and running although I did not test it for long running. The paint on 29

30 the old clock has some original and some poorly touched up. This is perhaps their most rare model and usually sells near $2000 if in decent condition. This one has a missing continental hat and the dial is probably a replacement but otherwise all original. The clock would be 16 inches high with the hat, 15 inches now. $1000-$ $210 One Hand Clock Co., Warren, Pa. U.S.A. signed on the 6.5 inch dial of this ca 1930 novelty clock. They made this clock in 3 sizes that I am aware of, a 9 inch dial and the largest being 12 inch. The old stand and bezel still has some brass patina, but showing age and wear. The paper dial is in pretty nice condition, only slightly stained. The movement winds and sets in back. It was running as I wrote this but did not test for long running. $300-$ $100 Nazi Germany elephant clock. Metal case is hollow on the back, painted solid black except for the blanket over the elephants back. The outline of the blanket was painted a gold color originally and there are two large swastika s above the clock face on the blanket. The swastika was used as the symbol of the Nazi Party. It is a cross with the ends bent backwards. The one day movement winds and sets in back, was ticking for me, but sounds very lazy. The case is 10 inches wide, 8 inches high. $100-$ $10 Schermack stamp vending machines. This two unit machine features two separate stamp dispensers mounted on a single metal base. Each dispenser has a metal face with crank handle. The interior metal mechanisms are covered by clear plastic. One key services the front lock on both devices. Ca 1950 s. $50-$ $10 Punch A Ball game. 12 inch high metal case on a wood base and has a wood top. Two key locks to access the ball bearing colored balls and restore a fresh supply of balls to the front. It indicates 5 cents to Punch A Ball, but there is nowhere to deposit the coins. You simply punch the lever on the right side and the balls slide down a chute. Certain color balls score higher than others; such as red ball scores 500 points, green ball 100 points, etc. $50-$ $300 The Fletcher Super Automatic Service, Didsbury, Manchester, Great Britain. A time only English clock in the front of the case, dial signed only, Foreign, meaning made for export. Judging by the hands I believe it was made around I have not completely figured out the function of this clock but I believe it is coin operated to allow so much time, perhaps with a dance partner, which was a common thing in England. It will take a nickel in one slot and a penny or dime in the other. After inserting a coin it stops in the chute until you pull out the levers on each end of the case. It is in a modern wood case, 14 inches wide, 11 inches high. The previous collector called it a coin dispenser. I don t see that function but it could be possible. The levers on the ends do not work the same but both take your money. One may dispense money but I cannot get it to do that. $300-$ $100 Dungan & Klump, Model II Dickory Dickory Doc "Mouse Clock", circa This is an early version of the Model II made by the New Haven Clock Co. Dungan designed the clock for his daughter Emily, with no intention of marketing it until Klump convinced him it had resale value. They made five models of the Mouse Clock and a few variation of each model. They apparently could not make one to satisfy them. This wood case was finished in a mahogany stain and only a few hundred of the Model II were made. Model III was never made because of a poor relationship between them and the New Haven company. Model IV was made by the Sessions Clock Company. Our Model II strikes the bell on the hours on a bell. The mouse moves up the clock until the clock strikes one at which time the mouse slides down with a loud thud. Note that the complete label is plastic covered on the inside of the lower door. This clock appears to be all original and operational except it is missing a piece of wood on the top. $750-$ $110 Ansonia Clock Co. New York, Crystal Regulator, "Roy", ca Polished brass case is 11 inches high with a convex front. We rarely see the bowed or convex glasses because they are usually more expensive and more desirable. The finish needs to be polished, all four glasses are beveled, even the bowed one, and all are perfect. It has a signed one piece porcelain dial that has no hairlines or other problems. The hands and imitation mercury pendulum are correct for this clock. Also included is a two prong winding key. Ly-Ansonia #382. $200- $ $200 Seth Thomas & Sons, New York, metal cased clock, "No ". The 18 inch high case originally had a "French bronze, verde antique or light verde" finish, according to the Seth Thomas catalogs. It appears to me to have no finish, now green. The statue of the important female person is bolted to the base, easily removable. There are musical instruments, mythical birds, female busts, and other cast objects around and about the case. It has a nice beveled glass in the sash, correct hands and very nice one piece signed porcelain dial. On the back is a hinged metal door over the opening to the movement. Inside the case is their typical signed round French type 8 day movement that strikes half hours and hours on a nickel bell. You only wind this movement every 15 days. Ly-Seth Thomas #3253. $250- $ $140 Seth Thomas Dover, ca A 21-inch walnut case that has been cleaned but not recently, with incised designs and a fancy door glass with a gold stencil that surrounds the old ST paper dial. The signed 8-day ST 5 7/8 and ½ movement is running and striking on the hour and half-hour on a fancy Seth Thomas gong. The alarm mechanism has been removed and the pendulum bob has had all the 30

31 brass finish polished off, leaving a copper base. The Seth Thomas label on the bottom is worn to black. Running and striking as expected. We sold one in 2013 for $225. $150-$250. Prepaid shipping: $ $100 Jefferson Electric Golden Helm, This is another mystery clock from the 1950 s. This nautically-themed clock, with hook and anchor hands and a ship s wheel bezel is just under 8 inches high. The finish on this clock is clean and it has a new cord. It is running reliably and quietly. This is a great clock for the sailing enthusiast. $100-$150. Prepaid shipping: $ $391 Lone Trail Cigar advertiser clock, ca This is likely a Japanese box clock made for Schmidt & Company cigar manufacturers out of New York City. Schmidt & Co. were in business from 1875 to 1915 and marketed a number of cigar lines, each with a unique brand and label. This Lone Trail brand label was copyrighted in The label continues to be a popular image, and if you have an original cigar box label for this brand it is currently worth well over $1000. This clock is not that valuable. The movement is unsigned, 8-day time and strike and is running efficiently. Everything appears original except the hands, including the lower cut glass and the paper dial, unfortunately stained with oil on the right side. The original finish is very dark but there is a nice routed pattern on the door frame, with rope twists above and below. The clock is inches high. Why are Native Americans associated with cigar sales? Presumably because they introduced tobacco to Europeans in the 1500 s. Indeed, the first profitable crop from the Jamestown colony was tobacco for export to England. No comparable sales for this clock, but original advertisers like this retail for $400-$ $1121 Atkins Clock Co. Octagon Drop 30-day, Irenus Atkins formed the Atkins Clock Manufacturing Company in 1855, and began manufacturing 30-day double-fusee octagon drop timepieces from 1856 to Prior to this he had been in partnership with Adna Whiting with an agreement with Joseph Ives to use his lever spring movement in 30-day clocks, and after 1859 the Atkins Clock Company made 8- day spring time-and-strike movements, all in the same 25-inch rosewood octagon drop case seen here. The double-fusee movement in this clock is running steadily but with some slight irregularity in the beat. The ripple molding around the octagon border is complete; the painted metal dial appears to be original and is in good shape, with some alligatoring of an old varnish coating; the lower glass bears the distinctive design characteristic of these clocks, and has been rebacked in black. We can find three weaknesses: The hands are probably not original, the label is largely illegible, and the ivory handle on the upper door over the dial has been replaced. A double-fusee model sold at Schmitts in May 2011 for $1500. $1200-$1500. Prepaid shipping: $ $100 New Haven Drop Octagon #2, A very nicely refinished rosewood or mahogany-veneered case, 24 inches tall with a professionally repainted 12-inch dial on the original pan. Both glasses are old, the upper has been reputtied into place, the lower matches the eglomise pattern shown in Ly s book on New Haven clocks, page 165. The hands are old but probably not original. The time-only 8-day movement is pinned with rebushings evident, but is not signed. It is running reliably. There are sufficient remnants of the label to establish the manufacturer. $100-$175. Prepaid shipping: $ $221 New Haven Saxon, ca This is the smaller Saxon model, with an 8-inch dial. It is only 18.5 inches tall, in a rosewood case. The case has been refinished, but the doors appear to retain their original finish and are a bit darker than the sides of the case. This, of course, is not noticeable from the front and really is only evident when the doors are open. No label, inside or back, but the timeonly 8-day movement is signed. It is running reliably. It appears to have a very high quality paper dial replacement. The hands are correct and old, both glasses are old, the lower has been repainted, not quite to specifications, but close enough for most of us. The pendulum is correct to this model, with a patent date of 1881 noted on the front. As noted, New Haven made this model in two sizes (8 and 10-inch dials), and also made a mosaic. We sold one long ago for $379, the only one on record in the Antique Clocks Price Guide. $250-$ $400 EN Welch Lucca, ca A beautiful 23.5-inch rosewood case, dark but not overly dark just aged. All the glasses are original, including the two side glasses, with the gold pattern on the front glass in good shape. The side glasses are held in place with their original putty. All the finials are present and accounted for, and look original, but the right top finial has lost his neck - barely noticeable. Note the delicate and original inverted finials under the cornice. There are no significant chips or scratches to the case; the dial was repainted by Jon Cesar. The signed Welch movement with a fancy Welch pendulum is running strongly and striking a nickel bell on the hour. There is a good label on the back. $400- $600. Prepaid shipping: $ $161 Anglo- American Round Drop, ca Although there is no label identifying the maker, this is typical of Anglo-American clocks made for export to England. The 8-day brass time-and-strike movement is signed New Haven and is running and keeping time, striking on a nickel bell with a very nice tone. The 27-inch walnut case has mother of pearl button inserts around the front, connected 31

32 by very thin inlaid lines of an unidentified material. The painted 11- inch metal dial is probably original, with some crackling of the paint, and the numbering has been touched up. Both glasses are newer, and the carved door on the bottom does not have a clasp to hold it closed. Some wear overall, but a better example than is typical. $150-$300. Prepaid shipping: $ $390 Russell & Jones Garland, Russell and Jones took over the bankrupt Terry Clock Company in Pittsfield MA. They offered the Garland in walnut, oak, and cherry; this clock appears to be walnut or possibly cherry. The clock is shown on page 195 of Ly s American Clocks, Volume 1. The 78-inch case has been nicely stripped but has no top-coat, and might benefit from a light finishing oil or wax. The 8-day signed movement strikes a cathedral gong on the hour and half-hour, and is running and keeping time. The large brass pendulum bob has had a rough life (how do pendulum bobs get so beaten up?); there is a brass beat scale behind it, but it is not original to the clock. The old replacement paper dial has yellowed and the hands are not original. There is a possibility that the base is also a replacement, but if so it is an excellent job, as it is not apparent from the front. There is evidence of a former label on the back. The front glass is new, but all four side glasses are old. This is not a common clock, with only one listing in the Antique Clocks Price Guide, at $850 in 2007 at Schmitt s. That clock had more significant issues than this one. $350-$850. Prepaid shipping: $ $100 Seth Thomas Pittsburgh V.P., ca A 23-inch walnut case in reasonable shape. Someone used tape on the sides and the finish was roughened when the tape was removed, but I think that can be restored with just a bit of steel wool followed by some wax. The case has been cleaned but not thoroughly, so there is room for further improvement if you prefer a freshly restored look. All the trim pieces are present and in place, but again some cleaning might be warranted. The dial is a new paper replacement and the dial pan may not be original, as it has been glued to the brass bezel. The hands are old and correct. Behind the dial is the appropriate 8-day Seth Thomas movement that strikes on a shiny brass bell behind the cut glass pendulum unique to this and just a couple of other Seth Thomas clocks. It is running and striking as expected. The glass is early 20th century and there is no label inside or out, and no date on the back. We sold one in March of 2013 for $730. $500-$750. Prepaid shipping: $ $1721 Ansonia Senator, A large and impressive cabinet clock with gilded brass trimmings all around. The 22-inch high oak case has been refinished and some of the brass trim has been repainted, including the gold Venus de Milo s on the front. The silver dial is in outstanding shape, bright and shiny, with just a couple of spots of excessive wear. The hands are original. You can find this clock on pages of Ly s book on Ansonia clocks. The Ansonia 8-day movement is running reliably, striking the hour and half-hour; the strike chain is quite noisy. The pendulum is new. The interior is as spacious as a Buick and could be used easily to hide your excess cash. Half-a-dozen sales in the Antique Clocks Price Guide, most recently (2011) for $1900 at Harris. $1840-$2100. Prepaid shipping: $ $321 Seth Thomas Oregon, With the Cocobola finish and marquetry ornamentation on top. No doubt the finish on this 19.5-inch case has been renewed, but it looks great. There is a split to the wood at the top of the door, but otherwise no significant flaws. The dial was repainted by The Dial House and the hands are old, but not Seth Thomas hands (but close enough for most of us). The glass in the door is nice and old. The Seth Thomas 8-day timeand-strike movement has had some significant repairs and I can t keep it running for more than a half a day or so. At one time it had an alarm (alarm mounting holes are filled in the backboard); it strikes the hour on a cathedral gong. No label left inside, and no date on the back. A couple of recent sales on ebay, for $355 and $560. $355-$ $211 Ansonia Elysian crystal regulator, The 16.5-inch rich gold - finished case shows modest wear, with tarnish on the four posts. All four beveled glasses are chipand scratch-free. The urn on top shows the greatest wear, and is not firmly attached. The clock ran for a bit but is now stuck, and the movement probably needs to be disassembled and cleaned. The porcelain dial with outside escapement is in good shape. The hands are appropriate to Ansonia crystal regulators. Not an uncommon model, with plenty of examples in the Antique Clocks Price Guide, selling for $300 to $ $181 Ingraham Grecian Mosaic, This is an 8- day model, 14.5 inches high. Note the mosaic pattern, walnut and maple(?) on the bezel and rosettes, nicely refinished. The glass is old, held in by old putty, but I m not sure it is 1870 s old. The painted dial is flaking, the hands are old, and the movement is signed and running and striking the hours on a bell. The alarm is hooked up and also strikes on the bell, winding separately. Good green label inside, and also on the back of the door. A note on the back of the clock provides provenance back to Recent sales of this clock from $180 to $ $110 Ansonia Register, A porcelain clock in cobalt with a rococo sash, beveled glass, and open escapement in a signed porcelain dial. Not quite 11.5 inches high by 13 inches wide, with no 32

33 chips or evident repairs. Ansonia 8-day movement, running and keeping time, striking on the hour and half-hour. Just needs a touch of cleaning. $450-$ $110 Ansonia La Cannes, A Royal Bonn porcelain clock in a dark green with three peasant women mending nets on the shore with a sail boat in front of them. Of the seven sales records for this model in the Antique Clocks Price Guide, only two show this painting; flowers are much more typical. The signed porcelain dial has a couple of barely noticeable hairlines, the hands are Ansonia hands, and the bezel holds a beveled glass. The signed Ansonia 8-day movement with an open escapement is running and striking on the hour and half-hour. The 12-inch high by 11.5-inch wide case has no chips or evident repairs, but some of the gold highlighting is worn off on the top and sides due to zealous cleaning. A La Cannes just like this sold at Schmitt s in 2008 for $ $471 Ansonia La Rita, ca A Royal Bonn porcelain clock in Rich Green with pink and yellow roses on the front. The signed porcelain dial has a couple of hairlines between the 5 and 6, Ansonia hands, and a beveled glass in rococo sash. There is a slight interior chip to the glass at the 11 position. The signed Ansonia 8-day movement with an open escapement is running and striking on the hour and half-hour. The case is 11.5 inches high by 14 inches wide and has no chips or evident repairs. There is some faint crazing to the front painting. An identical clock sold at Schmitt s in 2010 for $431; we can t match that here, as we paid more than our asking price for this clock at auction in Porcelain clocks have been commanding higher prices of late $400 Ansonia Drop Extra Calendar, 1880 s. A 25-inch rosewood veneer case with an 11-inch calendar dial. The clock utilized Terry s patent calendar mechanism that shows the date with a calendar hand and month in a window under the 12. There is a fair amount of chipped veneer around the outer edge of the bezel that has been filled and stained nicely to match, and is not noticeable; there is a bulge to the veneer on the right side, out of sight, and a few slivers missing on a side piece of edging. At least one drop finial is a replacement. Both glasses are old, the upper glass held in with old putty. The dial appears to be an old repaint, and the time hands are proper but the calendar hand is red and should be brass. There is a complete but dark label inside. The signed movement is running, keeping time, and the calendar is advancing. Schmitt s sold one in 2010 for $575; the average price on ebay for this model over the last several years is $598. $400-$600. Prepaid shipping: $ $110 Ansonia La Calle, ca A Royal Bonn porcelain clock in Cream with pink, rose, and violet flowers on the front and sides. The signed porcelain dial has no flaws, Ansonia hands, and a beveled glass in rococo sash. The signed Ansonia 8-day movement with an open escapement is running and striking on the hour and half-hour. The case is 14.5 inches high by 10 inches wide and has no chips or evident repairs. This is an uncommon model; Schmitt s sold an identical clock in 2010 for $920, and one with a different set of flowers for $661 at that same auction. $600-$ $110 Ansonia No. 503, ca A Royal Bonn porcelain clock in Cream with pink flowers on the front and sides. The signed porcelain dial has no flaws, Ansonia hands, and a beveled glass in rococo sash. The signed Ansonia 8-day movement with an open escapement is running and striking on the hour and half-hour.

Another uncommon model; Schmitt s sold a similar one in 2012 for $650. $600-$ $171 Ansonia La Clairmont, A Royal Bonn porcelain clock in Apple Green with pink and yellow water lilies on the front and sides, and royal blue highlighting at the top. The signed porcelain dial has no flaws, Ansonia hands, and a beveled glass in rococo sash. The signed Ansonia 8-day movement with an open escapement is running and striking on the hour and halfhour. The case is 11.5 inches high by 11 inches wide and has no chips or evident repairs. No recent sales of this model. $600-$ $800 Ansonia Reflector, A largely refurbished ebony Reflector. Most if not all of the 35-inch case has been professionally repainted in a flat black lacquer and the gold highlighting in the incising restored. From all evidence it s an original case, just repainted. The gold trim panels at the top, bottom, and sides are original and not repainted; the glass is original with a very worn pattern unique to this model. The side mirrors are old but should be beveled. There are no missing finials. The Ansonia signed paper dial is relatively new, the hands correct and old. The signed movement is running and striking the hour on a cathedral gong. The brass pendulum bob has a large dent. We sold a practically perfect edition of this clock a year ago for $1800, but most of these clocks, like this one, are not in perfect condition. Nonetheless, this one looks better than most; clocks in this condition sell for between $800 and $1100. Prepaid shipping: $100 33

34 671. $290 Wm. Gilbert Nebo, This is one of the nicest Nebo s we ve seen. Look at the burled walnut trim bars at the top and bottom; the finish is deep and rich, and all the trim pieces are present. The glass is old and shows little wear, the dial has been repainted (not repapered), and the pendulum retains the indicator arrow. The only thing this clock lacks is the label on the back. The signed 8-day movement is running and striking on the hour on a cathedral gong. If you have weakness for Eastlake-styling in your clocks, this clock is hard to resist. It stands 22 inches high. One sold on ebay in 2013 for $307. $250-$325. Prepaid shipping: $ $171 Seth Thomas Violin reproduction, ca The original Seth Thomas Violin was made by special order and is extremely rare. A number of skilled woodworkers made high quality reproductions in the 1970 s, and this is likely one such reproduction. Ly devotes six pages to these clocks in his book on Seth Thomas clocks, Volume II. Because the clock is not signed, we cannot be sure who made it. This clock contains an early Seth Thomas 8-day timeand-strike movement, an early signed wire gong, and a later pendulum bob and signed paper dial and bezel. The glass is not old, and the label on the back is from a mid-1800 s Seth Thomas clock. The well-made inch case appears to be solid mahogany, or possibly a darkly stained cherry. The case, dial, brass bezel and movement all show signs of neglect and exposure to dust and humidity. The neck of the violin at the pegs was broken and has been repaired; the damage is not noticeable from the front. The movement has been ultrasonically cleaned and is running, keeping time, and striking on the hour and half-hour. These reproduction clocks remain popular as novelties; we sold one in 2010 for over $900. It was in a bit better shape than this one. Prepaid shipping: $ $1171 E.N. Welch ripple-front Round Gothic (Onion-top), J.C. Brown manufactured ripple-front onion-tops in the late 1840 s, and later was bought out by Elisha Welch about Welch continued to manufacture ripple-fronts through the late 1850 s. The label in this clock is so dark that it can only be determined that it is a Brown/Welch label; there are several examples of such labels where either Brown or Welch is indicated as the primary manufacturer. Some were manufactured under a Forestville label. The movement in this ripple-front is signed E.N. Welch, and matches movements found in other Welch beehives and steeples of this period. The dial is unsigned, providing no help; moreover, although it fits the clock correctly, it does not appear to fit the movement perfectly (the winding holes have been carved out some), and so it may not be original to this clock. Alternatively, the movement may not be original. The dial is certainly old and in nice shape, probably with the original painted numerals, and shows some touch-up to a scratch between the 6 and 7. The hands are old and correct, but the minute hand has been adapted from an hour hand; the upper glass is certainly original and is still held in by the original putty. Brown and Welch did manufacture these clocks with reversepainted glasses, although this one does not seem typical. It has small pieces of what appears to be mother-of-pearl glued over losses, giving the glass picture flashes of opalescence from the front. There also are pieces of brown paper glued to the back of the picture, perhaps to preserve the painting. They do not show through the front. The ripple molding is unmarred on this 20-inch walnut case and the finials are correct and appear original, although one has lost its point (right rear). The handle on the door is not period. The wire gong is period and Welch/Brown appropriate. The clock is running, keeping time, and striking on the hour. Prices for these clocks over the last decade have averaged $3300 at East Coast auction houses. We sold one in May of 2014 for $ $111 Seth Thomas Oxford, ca Named after the second-oldest teaching institution in the world, north of London, and part of the Seth Thomas College series. These clocks came in oak or walnut (this one is walnut) and were designed to compete with the modestly priced pressed wood shelf clocks being marketed by other clockmakers. The Seth Thomas Series clocks utilized intricately carved and layered pieces to give the clocks a threedimensional look at a modest price. Some of the wood here is solid walnut while the top has a walnut veneer, front and back. There are several veneer repairs evident on the upper right side if you look closely. The glass is old, the dial is paper with some staining on an old brass bezel. We had the 8-day time-and-strike signed movement cleaned and it is now running reliably, striking the hours and half-hours on an old unsigned wire gong. The pendulum is correct to this model. The clock is 23 inches high and there is a Seth Thomas label on the back. There used to be an alarm but the mechanism has been removed, the alarm dial remains. $100-$175. Prepaid shipping: $ $211 Wm. Gilbert Mitra, This is a great looking cherry clock with great Eastlake styling. Too bad it isn t all original. We must have been asleep when we bid on this one, not recognizing that the doors are replacements (there should only be one, with a center divider between top and bottom). There also is a very small piece of trim missing from the top of the crest. If you can get past that it is a great clock; beautifully refinished, a large brass pendulum bob, and a signed 8-day time-and-strike movement that is running efficiently, striking a rich sound on a cathedral gong. The old dial pan with a nickel bezel holds an old paper dial, with correct hands, and there are the remains of a label on the back. Both glasses are new, as you might expect. All in all an attractive clock, but not for the purist. Stands 23.5 inches tall. $200-$300. Prepaid shipping: $ $130 Seth Thomas Dallas, This is a somewhat uncommon city series clock in a cabinet design, almost 14 inches tall, made of wal- 34

35 nut with a walnut burl front and brass plates across the base. The porcelain dial has some hairline cracks running across it; it sits behind a French sash with a beveled glass. The hands are interesting, but not quite what is shown in the catalog photo on page 192 of Ly s Vol 1 on Seth Thomas clocks. The cabinet door locks with the key and shows a date of January The unusual movement is signed and counts the hours on a cathedral gong, and the half-hour on a nickel bell. It is running confidently and keeping excellent time. There is a black Seth Thomas label inside. No sales in the Antique Clocks Price Guide or on ebay; $130-$250 seems reasonable $111 Seth Thomas Column, ca s. This popular mini-column or porthole clock stands only 16 inches tall and can be found in a variety of formats: painted columns, gilded columns (as here), with mirrors or reverse painted glasses, and one-day and 8- day movements, with and without an alarm. It was made for at least 20 years, spanning the 1870 s. The rosewood veneer on these clocks is usually missing in places, and this clock is no exception: veneer is missing from the left side cornice and top, and has been repaired on the right base. The missing veneer strip is not a hard repair job if it is your thing; if not, a little dark stain and no one will notice. The mirror is old but probably not original, the upper glass is also old, with bubbles and imperfections. The dial has been repainted some time ago. Both columns retain a goodly portion of their original banded gold leaf gilding, and there is still gold surrounding the glasses. The signed lyre-style 8-day movement is running assiduously, striking the hours on a wire gong. A good label inside, old brass bob, and working latch. $100-$ $421 Ansonia Crown crystal regulator, One of Ansonia s more popular crystal regulators, 15.5 inches tall in polished brass with rich gold ornaments and base. Wear to the finish is noticeable but not excessive; the signed porcelain dial with Arabic numerals shows some hairlines. Four beveled glasses with no scratches or chips, a replacement 2-jar pendulum, and a suspended cathedral gong. The clock is running and striking on the hour and halfhour. The average sale price for 3 Crowns on ebay over the last several years is $ $471 Ansonia Crown crystal regulator, Just a bit nicer than #682, with a fancy gold bezel and a cleaner porcelain dial with Roman numerals and no hairlines. The wear to the finish is again noticeable but not excessive, the 2-jar pendulum is original, and there is a fancier standing cathedral gong. Four beveled glasses with no chips or scratches. Running and striking on the hour and half-hour, as required. $450-$ $430 Gilbert Octagon Drop Maranville calendar, ca Gilbert used this simple calendar patented by Galusha Maranville in several models. The movement advances the calendar date daily; the days of the week and month are set manually each month, turning the studs at the top and bottom of the dial with the winding key to advance each separately, through small gears on the back of the studs. The fit of the month and weekday dials to the gearing is loose, but can be managed with effort if you want to keep the calendar current. The dial was originally painted but is typically badly chipped; this clock has a thick paper dial replacement, with soiling evident at the openings for the weekdays and month. The hands are correct but the minute hand is a trimmed replacement; the upper glass is old but the lower tablet is a newer replacement, again correct to style. The rosewood veneer on the 23.5-inch case is nearly completely intact, with just a few small chips at the lower left edge. The 8-day Gilbert movement is running and the calendar is advancing. There is a nice label inside showing that this clock was made for N. C. Hyde & Co. Schmitt s sold one in 2012 for $550. $450-$550. Prepaid shipping: $ $360 Seth Thomas St. Paul, This is a really nicely refinished 21- inch walnut case with beautiful burled walnut on the door, and very few nicks and scrapes. My suspicion is, however, that the door is not original. Notice the lack of stain on the interior of the door. I think the trim pieces were taken from the original door, but unfortunately, a couple of trim blocks at the top and bottom corners are missing. Their absence isn t particularly noticeable. The glass in the door also isn t old. Other than the door and the paper dial, everything else appears to be original. The hands are correct; the mirrored glass pendulum is correct, with a bit of mirror deterioration evident. The lyre-type Seth Thomas 8-day movement is clean and running, counting the hours on a nickel bell. There once was a label on the interior floor, but no date on the back. There is a bit of a scrape, nicely touched up, on the top. The finish on this clock is about as nice as you ll find. The last time we sold one of these was March 2013, for $750. Prepaid shipping: $ $1210 French gilded brass and slate mantel clock, ca The 20-inch black slate case has an impressive-looking knight from the 16th century on top, crown on his head indicating royalty, sword on his hip, leaning on his helmet, with his shield at his feet. There is a battle axe on the left side and a monk in an alcove of the church at the top with a document in his hand, no doubt authorizing and blessing the knight s mission. There are two layers of slate separated by a bronze intermediary and base, both covered in front with gilded floral designs. The porcelain dial is flawless, with Breguet hands 35

36 behind an old beveled glass and French sash. There are three colors of gold here, the gilded ornamentation on the base, including the sword, shield, and helmet; the darker bronze of the main clock housing and steeple; and the lighter brass of the knight. Note that there is a chip off the left top corner of the lower slate base, the only flaw I can find. The movement is the standard pendule á Paris, unsigned, with a count wheel striking mechanism and a silk thread suspension. It is running vigorously, 8 days at least, counting the hours and striking on the half-hour on a nickel bell, and can be viewed through the flat glass in the rear door. Clear a spot for this guy, he s going to dominate the space around him in your home. $1500-$2500. Prepaid shipping: $ $211 New Haven Chime No. 6, A 15-inch bracket-style case finished in Antique Oak (although it looks like mahogany) with a silvered dial and bezel, holding a convex old glass. The four finials on top are also metal, originally silver. The finish is original and shows some alligatoring. There are screened windows on either side, one of which has lost the interior fabric cover. The movement is an 8-day timeand-strike movement that triggers the Wilcock chime movement, playing the Westminster chimes on four cathedral gongs on the quarter hours. The hourly strike is on a separate gong. The clock is running and striking the hours, and triggering the chime movement every 15 min. The chime movement winds separately on the side and can be silenced. We had it cleaned ultrasonically and adjusted for tone, but may need readjustment after delivery (easily done). Only one sale that I can find, in 2006 at Schmitt s, for $200. It had a poor dial. $200-$400. Prepaid shipping: $ $810 French figural mantel clock, ca This gilded white metal figural on a slate base stands 22 inches tall. The gilding is in good shape, but not perfect; you can see some spots of wear and oxidation. The tip of the dove s left wing is missing and the back of the case shows a couple of cracks. The polished slate base is unmarred. The black slate dial used to show the name of the dealer, but is worn off; both hands appear to be painted replacements. There is no bezel or glass, never was, and there is no door on the back. The unsigned pendule á Paris movement has an external count wheel and looks good, but cannot be coaxed to run; the spring is fully wound. It will strike if you advance the hands. Not a bad looking clock; maybe you can get it running. $750-$1500. Prepaid shipping: $ $200 French figural mantel clock ca This small brass French figural is 15 inches high. The clock and figure have been remounted on a wood platform that is not original. The ornate brass base holds several translucent onyx decorative glasses. I don t see any missing pieces of trim, but the left forefinger on the Maid of Harvest has been repaired. The 3-inch porcelain dial is flawless behind a beveled glass, with Breguet hands. The unsigned movement is time-only but cannot be coaxed to run with the replacement pendulum hung; it runs like mad if you remove the pendulum, suggesting that the pendulum weight may be too heavy. Another nice little French clock that needs some attention. $200-$ $210 Ansonia Tribute, ca This one doesn t appear in Ly s book on Ansonia clocks. It s 9.5 inches high, with a signed paper dial and a bright brass center dial and bezel, holding a flat glass. The hands are Ansonia hands. A nice cobalt blue-trimmed case with no chips or loss of paint, and only the slightest crazing. The signed 8-day movement is running, striking the hours and half-hours on a flat wire gong. Signed Tribute on the back. A very attractive porcelain clock at an economical price. $250- $ $2100 Japy Freres Mystery clock, ca The polished slate case on four brass feet is 9 inches tall, the bronze statue of a young boy holding a bird nest with a bird in it is 10.5 inches tall and signed Ferrand. This is a rare mystery clock; I can find only one other example that uses a magnetic mechanism, as this one does, to drive the free-hanging pendulum. Just beneath the top of the case is a magnet on a counterweighted verge that swings back and forth, pulling the hanging pendulum back and forth with it. The clock is running and keeping time once the pendulum gets properly in sync with the verge. The glass in the rear door has several cracks. The 4- inch diameter slate-and-gold dial is behind an old beveled crystal, the case retains most of the gold painted incised decorations, and there are no significant chips or scratches to the case. The pendule á Paris 8-day movement is signed Japy Freres and is running, as noted, and striking the hours and half-hours on a nickel bell. French mystery clocks consistently sell between $4000 and $6000. Prepaid shipping: $ $800 Seth Thomas No. 1 Extra, ca A 40-inch case that has been stripped of veneer and adequately grain painted to resemble rosewood. That s the negative; the positive: original upper and lower glasses (lower glass no doubt repainted), original painted dial with some flaking; original hands, and an S.B. Terry time-only 8-day weight-driven movement that is running reliably. The weight shield is a replacement and the instruction label on it a photocopy of an original. There is an original paper beat scale. Easily worth twice the asking price if the finish was veneer. $800-$1000. Prepaid shipping: $ $1600 Wm. Gilbert Regulator No. 10 Hanging, ca The catalog description says this 53-inch clock came only in oak with a Fine Cabinet 36

37 Finish. It has the correct 8-day weight-driven movement (time only) with advertised Dead Beat escapement and Retaining Power, Wood Rod and Brass Pendulum Ball. All that said, you see this clock occasionally in walnut, and the crest comes in several variations. The case is, of course, very similar to the No. 11. This clock has 8 finial balls on top, as is seen in other No. 10 s, but differs from the catalog image that has 7 balls and an additional strip above the fish scale ornamentation. I see no evidence that the crest to this clock is not original, so I attribute these differences to year-to-year factory changes. All glasses are original (including the two sidelights, one of which is cracked), and are held in by original putty. The dial is original paint with a crackled varnish finish; the hands may be replacements. A nice label on the back. The clock is running. These clocks don t bring what they used to, but this one is free of the problems and replacements that usually plague them. Schmitt s sold a walnut #10 in 2012 for $1600 and Harris sold a walnut #10 in 2013 for $2500. $1600-$2500. Prepaid shipping: $ $181 Tabasco Advertiser box clock, 1920 s. A 19.5-inch wall clock made to advertise McIlhenny s Tabasco pepper sauce. The 8-day time-and-strike movement is presumably Korean, with a large K imprint. There is no label, inside or back. There are two small side glasses, a single old front glass, and a thick wire gong. The pendulum bob is nickel or, more likely, tin. The paper advertiser dial is in good shape; the clock is running and striking. I know these are not uncommon, but I can t find another sale online. You probably can. Advertisers fetch highly variable prices, so we estimate $175-$ $160 Seth Thomas Atlanta, ca Less than a decade ago a city series clock like this, in this superior condition, would bring $300- $400 or more. City series clocks seem to have fallen on hard times of late, but their quality will bring them back in due time. This one has a great finish on the rosewood veneer, the original signed and painted dial (with some losses), original hands, the original lyre-style 8-day time-and-strike movement, running and striking reliably, and the original purple velvet wallpaper on the backboard. The gold stencils on the 19.5-inch case show little to no wear, the glass, without stencil (and as shown in the catalog photo) is old if not original. Even the pendulum bob is correct to this model. There is a black label on the floor of the interior, but the lettering is worn off the only flaw I can find. This one is a keeper. Sales of this model on ebay average $145 over the last several years, but we can t match that. $100-$ $210 New Haven Occidental. A great looking reproduction case, 23 inches tall, holding a New Haven 8-day time-and-strike movement, an appropriate pendulum, gilded statuettes, two good side mirrors, and all the ornamentation present on the original clock. I would assume the finials and crest, and possibly the door, were taken from an old Occidental case, along with the metal decorations. There is a good paper dial on a zinc pan, held in a brass bezel with old hands; the glass is new. It is running and striking on a cathedral gong. Originals sell on ebay for $350. $250-$350. Prepaid shipping: $ $200 Seth Thomas Eclipse, ca s. This is one of the more popular Seth Thomas shelf clocks. This one has been refinished perfectly and has a rich walnut color, with all the trim pieces in place on the 24-inch case. The base is old but may be a replacement. The Seth Thomas lyre-style movement is running and striking on the hour and half -hour and retains its Geneva winding stops. The pendulum is a replacement Eclipse bob; it has a signed paper dial, and there is a number (1026) stamped into the top of the case and also on a trim piece. The paper label inside looks like a replacement. This clock has an alarm that winds separately and strikes on a brass bell. We did not test it. The glass is a newer replacement. These clocks sell pretty consistently for around $200 on ebay. $200-$300. Prepaid shipping: $ $1900 James Cary New England Mirror Clock, James Cary, Jr. worked as a clockmaker out of Brunswick, Maine (as indicated on the dial) and is known for several tall case clocks. I can find no other examples of a mirror clock attributed to him. This is an absolutely gorgeous clock, with but one flaw we can t get the unsigned brass 8-day movement to run on its own. The 34-inch case was evidently red at one time, and the four floral ornaments at the corners are not original. The mirror is certainly the original glass, resilvered. The upper glass is outstanding, and original, with some losses. The concave dial is original paint, with the original signature; the hands by all appearances are also original. There is a push-button latch on the left as well as a hook latch, the original pendulum and spring, and a flat weight that falls behind a metal guard with a metal beat scale. The clock comes with a winder that matches the small winding arbor. This clock resembles clocks made by Samuel Abbott, with the overhanging cornice and banjo-style movement. Similar clocks sell for $ $3000 or more. Prepaid shipping: $ $230 E. Ingraham Co. Bazar, You can find this clock on page 162 of Ly s book on Ingraham clocks; for some reason he has it listed under cabinets, although the door opens in front like standard shelf clocks. The clock is 18 inches tall and 15 inches wide at the base, and is clearly one of Ingraham s higher-end models. The pinned 8-day time and slow-strike (hour and half-hour) movement is mounted on a heavy board and strikes on a deep and reso- 37

38 nant cathedral gong. It is running and striking on schedule. The glass is not old, and the signed paper dial is a not-too-recent replacement. The finish on the walnut case must be original, and would benefit greatly from a thorough cleaning with Kotton Klenser. If you collect high-end parlor clocks this Eastlake-style clock should be in your collection. No sales on the Antique Clocks Price Guide, but three sales on ebay in the last several years, averaging $350. $250-$ $100 Seth Thomas 30-hour weight-driven OG, Seth Thomas sold these one-day clocks from the 1860 s to as late as 1900, testifying to their durability and popularity. The 30-hour clocks are 25 inches tall, while 8-day clocks were 29.5 inches high. This clock is in outstanding shape the veneer is perfect all around, the old tablet has little loss, the upper glass is old, and there is a great Thomaston label inside. The signed Plymouth Hollow movement is running and striking on the wire gong reliably. Yes, the formed metal dial is a recent replacement. Yes, these clocks are common. But this clock is an outstanding example of a highly popular clock style. Do you have one this nice in your collection? $100- $175. Prepaid shipping: $ $100 Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. No. 10 Farmer s, The note that accompanies this clock says that it was purchased in 1992 for $1050 and has all original works; a subsequent note says that it was purchased at auction for $550 in The inch walnut case is in excellent condition; the crest is all original, the dials are very old cardstock paper, possibly original, but show some wear. The hands are correct but may be replacements. The 8-day unsigned movement is running and the calendar is advancing. It strikes a wire gong on the hour. The pendulum bob is silver. It only lacks a label, which was lost from the backboard long ago. The average sale price for this model on ebay over the last several years is $543. $500-$600. Prepaid shipping: $ $441 Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. No. 10 Farmer s, ca This is the earlier version of the No. 10, with a simple 21-inch walnut case. I would guess that both paper dials are very old replacements, as is probably true for the two old glasses. The hands are correct, but may also be replacements; indeed, the catalog illustration in Ly s Calendar Clocks (p. 142) shows different hands top and bottom, but the Maltese-style hands here are also typical of Ithaca clocks. Both movements are dirty but are running, striking, and the calendar is advancing. The day and month rollers are certainly original, and very yellowed. There are remnants of a label on the back of the clock. The screws holding the dials to the frame are a bit too big, but could be easily replaced, and are not visible when the door is closed. This model sells on ebay for an average of $470. $450-$550. Prepaid shipping: $ $1200 Munger & Benedict Ironing Board shelf or wall clock, ca Munger and Benedict formed a partnership for two years, Benedict was a silversmith. Asa Munger continued to make these clocks after 1833 as Munger & Co., famously using prison labor. The label in this clock has a careful paste-over of the previous name (just Asa Munger?) with the Munger and Benedict names; this is seen on other examples of this clock. The 39.5-inch mahogany case holds a brass 8-day time-andstrike, weight-driven movement that strikes a bell on top of the movement. The clock will only run for a few minutes and then stops. The weights are 9-lb lead and not original; the upper pulleys are modern replacements, the lower pulleys original, the flying eagle pendulum bob is original. The 7-inch round metal dial has its original paint and hands, with a likely replaced seconds bit. The dial surround is repainted on old glass, the mirror glass is old, possibly original, possibly resilvered. I would guess that the case has not been refinished and has a great patina, the carved columns are very nice, all the trim is present and original. There is some missing veneer on the top piece edging. The original wallpaper is on the inside of the case, with some staining. There are six sales of this model in the Antique Clocks Price Guide, with recent sales ranging from $1300 at Schmitt s in 2012 to $2100 in Prepaid shipping: $ $810 Nicholas Muller & Sons The Indian Hunter, ca s. A beautifully refinished iron-front clock, 21.5 inches tall with the statue; the white metal front piece and statue were made by the Muller NY foundry, and are signed at the top above the dial. The case has been repainted in black and copper, as has the interior. The sides are covered with painted metal sheeting over the wood box; the one-piece glass is old, but perhaps not 1870 s old. The 8-day time-and-strike movement is signed E.N. Welch and is running and striking on a nickel bell; the fancy pendulum is also of Welch design, making it likely that this clock was marketed by Welch or Muller, or another secondary reseller. There is no label on the clock. The paper dial and hands are replacements. The statue of an American Indian and his dog is missing the bow and arrow, otherwise carried in his left hand. Frankly, he looks more like a Greek figure, and the dog looks like a German shepherd. I don t know that Native Americans hunted with dogs (or tamed wolves), but 1860 s artistic license, I guess. The statue is based on a sculpture by John Quincy Adams Ward ( ), the Dean of American sculptors, and there is a life-size statue in New York s Central Park, dedicated in One recent sale on ebay for somewhere under $700, and the case was not repainted; Fontaine s sold this very clock in Nov for over $7000, which even I don t believe. $850-$1000.

39 Horton s Antique Clocks January 2015 Auction Parts & Miscellaneous 901. $250 Schoenhut Toy Piano. The Schoenhut Company has been making toy pianos since This is an early model, ca around Case is mahogany, 24 inches wide, 27 inches deep, and 19 inches high. Their pianos are authentic musical instruments, as good as the standard size pianos, just not as big. They were custom fit for children. This piano needs to be restored. The black and white keys are present. Some parts are loose inside the piano, and some could be missing, but a good repair person could restore it. $300-$ $50 Glass dome only, no base. I sold the clock pictured with this dome in It was shipped overseas and to save shipping costs they said do not send the dome. It is time to let someone else store the dome. It is round, 20.5 inches high and 11 inches in diameter. $50-$ $24 Set of walnut finials for Southern Calendar Clock Co. Fashion clocks, models 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. They were lathe turned over 35 years ago from original finials. They are seasoned and the correct size. You will need to stain them to match the case, sand and polish. Indicate on the bid form if you want more than one set $425 Bronco Buster, a bronze sculpture by the famous American sculptor, Frederick Remington. He is the most collected sculptor of all time. His bronze statues captured the American west better than any artist. His work has been reproduced in bronze for collectors worldwide. This sculpture was his first 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 over $100,000. This statue is 17.5 inches high and 15.5 inches wide. $500-$ $450 Outlaw, bronze sculpture by Frederick Remington. This one is another depiction of the wild riders who tamed bucking broncos. Realistically seated in the saddle the rider balances under the extreme movement of the horse. This sculpture is 18 inches tall and 11 inches wide. $500-$ $475 Rattlesnake, bronze sculpture by Frederick Remington. In this work he has the same theme, violence and danger. In this piece he captures a horse s reaction to encountering a rattlesnake on the trail. The horse has reared upon two hooves and the rider is holding on for dear life. This is another of his classics. $500-$ $500 The Cheyenne, bronze sculpture by Frederick Remington. He said he wanted to depict a horse in natural flight, so this one is in full gallop, all four legs off the ground, with the Cheyenne Indian rider holding a spear in one hand and a whip in the other. It is mounted on a wood base and stands 19 inches high and about 19 inches wide, from the horse s nose to tip of his tail. It weighs 33 pounds. The sculpture is signed by Remington on the bronze base. On the Internet, bidding for similar reproduced Cheyenne statues start at $1000 or more. $500-$ $25 Iron front clock for repairs or parts.
