Waterbury Clock Co. "Round Gothic", ca 1867. An early
beehive clock, 19" mahogany veneered case, a couple of
small chips stained over, and a couple that
should be. For a clock of this age it is
great. There is one door, one latch,
although it appears the upper bezel
should open separately. Tablet is
original and has a very small place
below the plum, that has any paint
loss. The dial is original, and
signed, and it also has a few small
places where paint has chipped, all
in the dial center. A complete label
inside, brass bob, old key, original
door knob, coil gong, and the origi-
nal 8 day movement that is running.

clock, ca 1835. Rare design, full length carved
columns, modified cornice top, portion of case with
glass separating the doors. There is
no label, only one iron weight, top

sure about picture in the middle or
the lower glass. Old wood backing
the lower glass. The mahogany
veneered case is just under 38" tall,
has loose veneer all over the base,
some veneer chips on the lower
door. Wood dial is average, hands

and compounded pulleys on the
sides. The escape wheel has 36
teeth. With the weight compounded
should it not run 8 days The one
weight is an 8 day weight. Top door has lock and ivory

Long drop wall clock, new or near new. This is a well
made 32" walnut case, copied from an
original more than likely. It could be
factory made or home workshop
made, but either way it is a good
looking, well constructed clock. The
8 day movement is time and strike,
simple calendar, and signed Japan.
After looking under the dial I believe it
was made in a home workshop using
parts bought from a US supplier. $100-
$150.

Austrian Vienna regulator, two weights, 8 day, time and
strike, ca 1880. It is missing either a top ornament or
finials, and the bottom finial. The
catgut needs to be replaced with
something more substantial. One
string was broken and I tied it
together to hold the weights for the
picture. One brass weight is very
nice, the other has one cap loose and
small dents. All is not bad there are
several good things. It has a great
two piece porcelain dial with large
numerals hands are very nice and
probably original. The dial is
signed, "Carl Sucky & Sohne /
Wien". The 8 day movement is not
signed but does have a serial num-
ber and it strikes on a long iron rod.
It has the original brass bob and
wood stick. The walnut case has four
good glasses, stands 37" high without a top
and bottom finial, has a key lock on the side, no key,
and is in very good original condition otherwise. $250-
$400.

Austrian Vienna regulator, one weight, two springs, ca
1885. The 33" high case is ebonized, and apparently
never had anything on the top or
base, unless the case was
reworked and any holes or slots
were camouflaged. It has three
good glasses, short columns on the
top and base. The 8 day movement
is mounted to a wood seat board
that slides into a wood bracket
mounted to the case. All case parts
are very nice including the two
piece signed porcelain dial, old
hands, brass bob, wood stick, and
the 8 day unsigned brass move-
ment. There are two hammers
striking two coil gongs attached to
the back of the movement. The
two springs need attention, appar-
ently the clicks are not catching. I
cannot ascertain if it is only a
Sonnerie strike. It is what it is.
$250-$400.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. early City Series clock,
"Atlanta", ca 1875. There is a lot of hardware inside
this 19.5" high rosewood veneered case.
Behind the original dial is a large
lyre 8 day movement that is
signed and still has the Geneva
stops. In addition to striking the
hours on a bright nickeled bell, it
has an alarm that rings on the
same bell. The alarm set ring is
silver colored, the special pendu-
lum bob and hanger are silver col-
ored and some of the bob is nick-
eled and some is brass. The door
knob is also silver colored.
Inside, on the base, is a good por-
tion of the original black label. The dial has a "dang it"
scratch, otherwise is in good condition. This model and
the Omaha, have some gold stripe decorations around
the case edge. The gold is still holding. The case has an
edge nick or two, otherwise is in very good condition.
A good starting clock for City Series collectors. Ly-
