clock, bronze case, 8 day time
movement. This is another near
perfect cartel with beautiful bronze
swags and decorations, gold/bronze
hands, slightly bowed porcelain
dial, a great sash and bowed glass.
The main part of the case is
white/cream onyx or marble, and is
8" high, complete and original.
Hinged bronze back door over a
small watch size 8 day movement
that is running just fine. It has num-
bers but no name on the movement
or case that is readily visible.
($1200) $500-$750.
Oak case stained dark, I thought it
was mahogany at first. It is 10" high
with the handle in upright position.
There are attached brass ornaments
on the sides, top, and feet. 8 day
movement is a time only platform
lever escapement, running strong,
held in a tin can type box with a lid
in back that snaps into the tin can.
The movement is signed, "France".
Brass sash and a bowed glass over
the excellent porcelain dial. It is
signed, "W. Rodwell / Leicester". I
would guess that was the English
selling dealer. Excellent, complete,
and original. ($708) $250-$500.
oval glasses, 8 day time only, ca
1890. The brass case is 6" high,
rests on four turned feet. All five
glasses are beveled, the four oval
glasses are all near perfect, one
side glass may have an micro-
scopic corner tic you must look
for to find. 8 day movement is
running strong. Balance is origi-
nal to the movement. The porce-
lain dial is perfect, hands are orig-
inal. The dial is signed, "Hardy &
Co. / Seattle / France". The move-
ment is signed, "Duverdrey &
Bloquel / France / 11 Eleven
Jewels". ($562) $400-$600.
the twelve zodiac signs. The twelve
signs are inside brass circles, and the
circles and hands are encased in two
pieces of plastic. Dial is signed,
"Gubelin / Swiss 8 Days". Case is
12½" high, 11½" wide, in excellent
condition, and I would guess it to be
25-50 years old. A repair label on the
back is dated 1991. 8 day watch move-
ment winds and sets in back, and it is
running. The back is signed, "8 /
920253 / 15 Jewels / Swiss". A good
is 8" high, 5" wide, in good clean condition.
Four beveled glasses, all with minute corner
chips. Webster defines minute as, "of little
importance". Clean and polished 8 day move-
ment, running briskly and striking a hanging
Cathedral gong on hours and half hours. The
movement is signed, "Spaulding & Co. /
Chicago & Paris / Made in France / Vincenti
& Cie". Live mercury pendulum. A very nice
little clock. ($350) $200-$300.
bronze case, 8 day time movement.
The case is only 5¼" high, and in
excellent clean condition. Hinged
bezel holding a beveled and bowed
glass. Beautiful porcelain dial, deco-
rated with loops of flowers, painted
hour and minute numerals, great set
of gold/bronze fancy hands. Small
hairlines on the dial, scratch on the
glass, none of which is significant. 8
day lever platform escapement
movement is not signed, at least
where I can see. I do see num-
bers/letters, deep inside the case on
the backside of the front plate. The
movement is clean and just keeps on
should be signed, and probably is, I just cannot see it. ($450) $400-$600.
clock, bronze case, 8 day time
movement. A little larger
miniature than #323, it is 9½"
high, super bronze case, clean
and shining. The bezel, bowed
glass, porcelain dial with
painted loops of flowers, and
the super gold/bronze hands,
are all nice like #323, just a lit-
tle larger. 8 day movement
encased in a watch size case,
back wind and set, and is run-
ning briskly. Porcelain dial is
signed, "Gubelin / Lucerne".
This clock is near perfect, I
can find no faults. ($650)
$500-$750.
