1914. The statue is 14" tall, retaining
some of the original bronze finish, worn
in places where it was held a lot. The
young man is barefoot, whistling, and
carrying an 8 day, time only, clock. The
porcelain dial is signed, "Made in USA".
It has a seconds dial and beveled glass.
There is a stress repair at the base, other-
wise it is in good overall condition. Ly-

clock, "Lucca V.P.", ca 1885.
Polished rosewood case is
24" high, lightly cleaned,
some dark stuff still in the
cracks. One finial has chips
around the base and is ragged
around the case top where the
finial fits into the case. The
center finial has one very tiny
chip. All three finials look to
be original. Other than the
minor finial problem, the
case is excellent. It has a
great original pendulum,
complete paper label on the
back, near perfect glasses in
the door and on the sides, and
an original signed winding
key. The unusual black
flocked paper still covers the
inside. It has the original
nickeled bell and dial rings,
and of course, the unique 8
day movement. Ly-Welch, page 170. $600-$900.
clock. The clock sits
on a 2" high rose-
wood finished base,
under a glass dome.
It is 16" high and 13"
wide. The dome is
rectangular with an
oval top, and made of
very heavy glass. The
24K gold and silver
plated movement has
the large gear wheel

The dial is cut out and inside the dial you can see the gears turning as the
clock is running, so it is like a tourbillon clock, yet it still has a pendulum.
The clock is running fine. $500-$750.
2", ca 1875. The eight day movement is
signed, "Ansonia Clock Co., Ansonia,
Conn. U.S.A.", and a label on the back
says, "Davies Sole Man'f. / The Crystal
Palace Clocks / Patented Jan y 26, 1875".
The two barrel pendulum is signed,
"Davies' Pat d". The very nice walnut
case is 17½" high including the glass
dome. It has good mirrors, and an origi-
nal dial with attached brass decorations.
The movement is running and striking a
nickeled bell on the hours. The paper dial
has been finger rubbed a few too many
times, and shows some wear, but it most
certainly is very acceptable as it is. This is
a very good example of the No. 2, and
about as nice as we see, not to have been
refinished. Ly-Ansonia, pages 96-99.

ues, "Art and Commerce",
ca 1904. Usually found as
side pieces with clocks.
Original finish was proba-
bly Japanese bronze of
which very little remains,
now has a silver look. The
statues are 19" high and in
excellent condition with
all their pieces and parts,
but one statue does have a
slight stress fracture on an
arm. $500-$750.
triple deck shelf clock, ca 1830.
This nice old clock is close to
and carved case is 37" high, and remains in
very clean, and practically untouched condi-
tion. There are three nice glasses held with
original putty, the middle painting is signed,
"Boston Belle". Turned ball feet, carved
columns in the center, beautifully carved fruit
basket on top. Old iron weights, old pendu-
lum, practically a complete paper label inside,
and a very nice old wood dial with period
hands. The movement is the Ives 8 day strap
brass, cheese hole movement, with the
sidearm extension. It strikes a large iron bell
below the movement. The bottom glass may
have had some touchup paint applied to a few
places where paint had flaked. The only
escutcheons remain on the doors but I cannot be sure if the original locks
are still in the doors as the holes are puttied. The doors are now held by
latches. A very nice and collectable clock. $500-$750.
