Typical Vienna movement is 8 day, gong striking, and
Uhrmacher / Wien I". Movement is
wood brackets. There are extra holes at
the base of the wood brackets but I do
not believe the movement is a marriage
to this case, but rather the brackets
were moved. This is a quality made 38"
high walnut case, and also a quality
brass movement. There are two glasses
in the full door, one glass on each side,
a plain top, tapered tail, and a door
latch on the side. Inside is a beat scale,
brass bob, wood stick, long gong rod
ment has been cleaned and oiled, and
Regulator, ca 1920's. Light oak case, rounded edges,
key lock, side glasses, leaded glasses in
the bottom have one half inch bevels
also. The dial, pendulum, and weights,
are brass and silver. Dial has silver ring,
correct hands, and cupids on the inner
dial. Pendulum ball has a raised silver
angel, and the three brass weights also
have silver angels applied or raised on
the weight shell. There are three
engraved brass pulleys, brass beat
scale, wall levelers, and an old Vienna
winding crank. Gustav Becker signed 8
day, three weight movement, was ser-
viced and cleaned just before we
acquired it. It is running of course and
striking on the long iron rods. $750-
$1000.
manufactured by Silas B. Terry and his four sons at
metal cases were painted black and
had various painted designs and
decorations. This case is considered
to which is pasted a complete black
the glasses are old with original putty, and it has the
correct hands and door latches. The dial is a replaced
paper dial. Ly-American Clocks, page 240. It books for
$1850 and we have sold them as high as $1500. $750-
$1000.
Manufacturing Co., Binghampton, NY. Bundy Mfg.
Co. was the first time clock maker, began business
1889. They sold to International Time
Recording in 1900. The clock has had
some restoration, has been cleaned of
the smoke, and presently is a
light/medium oak shade. Deficiencies
are: 1) no key for the time recorder that
is situated in the center of the lower
door. 2) dial board, dial rings, and dial
pan, are replacements. 3) There is an
old, but incorrect, dial paper on the new
pan. The dial paper is signed
"International Time Recording Co.",
successor to the Bundy company. 4) a
piece of molding is missing just below
the lower glass. An outline of what was
once there, shows shaded in the picture.
Not shown in the picture is the original
large brass bell (6") that is screwed
behind the top piece. A piece of molding
on the bottom left side was not included in the picture,
it is inside the case. The oak case is 56.5" high, com-
plete, two hinged doors, both doors have key locks with
keys, nickeled pendulum, nickeled dial ring, complete
time recording accessories inside, and a large move-
ment that is probably 15 day or 30 day, I cannot be sure.
You will need to do some tinkering with the top and two
base ornaments, none are screwed to the case. There are
several Bulletin articles that will acquaint with this rare
maker. $500-$750.
brass ball (clock) hangs from the gilded gold metal and
high and 3" wide. This ball is white sim-
ilar to milk glass. Others we have sold
to wind the clock as it runs on its own
weight. The clock (ball) drops slowly as
week you simply lift the ball and the
cable rewinds itself. The round dial
revolves horizontally as the clock is run-
ning. You read the time on the time track
points to the time on the ball. It has a good
the ball is blue. The clock is a modern
reproduction of an early Swiss clock.
$500-$750.
1910. 8 day novelty clock, spelter statue, gilt bronze
dusty, have not been cleaned or polished. The
porcelain dial is signed with the makers
mark, the well made movement also has the
Junghans trademark. The movement is run-
ning just fine but we do not know when it
was last serviced. The clock is 20" high. We
used to sell quite a few of the Junghans but
this is the first one to come our way in a few
years. $750-$1000.
splat type early clock. Johnson bought cases and move-
ments from others and assem-
bled them, or he bought com-
plete clocks from others, and
in both instances he put his
label in them, as if he was the
maker. The label actually
says, "Manufactured By".
Some Connecticut companies
black balled him and would
not sell him movements or
cases because he was under-
cutting prices. This 22" high
walnut case has flat columns
and a plain flat splat, both are
like pieces of trim, not like
normal columns or splat. Most clocks of the column
and splat family of clocks were more ornate than this
one. There are chimneys and returns on top. The inside
is configured to accommodate weights, so it was an off-
shoot of the column and splat weight clocks. The glass-
es are old, unable to guarantee they are original to the
case. The bottom glass is signed, "Residence of The
Terry". Which Terry is The Terry, I wonder? It has an 8
day brass movement that is running and striking a coil
gong. $500-$750.
Plymouth, Connecticut / By / Seth Thomas", copied
clock, ca 1830. I have sold a great
many early wood movement
clocks but this one has to be one
of the finest. Mahogany veneered
37" high case is near perfect, has
great stenciling on the half
ing. Perfect 8 day wood movement and dial, period
hands and pendulum with the original wood stick. The
like new dial has provenance written on the back,
repairs in the 1800's. A pair of iron weights that are
supposed to be original to the clock. This clock will
look great on any mantle for it is very clean and has no
problems. $500-$750.
