New or near new, hanging store regulator/shop clock.
The oak case is 37" tall, well constructed of solid oak
wood, has a couple of applied decorations
and two good glasses in the door,
particularly the advertising glass for
Dr. Pepper. The door has carved
designs all around and there are
etched designs on the top. The
movement is probably German, 8
day, time and simple calendar. Brass
bob, winding key, painted metal
dial, and three appropriate hands.
No indication as to who made the
clock. It was probably made by a
good home workshop cabinet
maker. $150-$250.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. "Chime Clock No. 74", ca 1921.
Identical to #591 except ­ The case is crusty, has never
been cleaned, the dial is as
good as the other chime
clocks here, but the fingers
rubbed too many times
when turning the hands
around the 10, 11,
& 12. The numer-
als are painted,
not raised, no label
underneath, but otherwise as good as #591. Ly-Seth
Thomas #452. $150-$250.

"N. Pomeroy / Bristol, Ct.", signed movement in an
iron front case signed, "R. Muller, N. . No. 51 Patent",
ca 1867. The case is named, "Juno", it is 19" high, case
is a brass color, nothing painted. The
top glass has been replaced, the
bottom is original. The paper dial
is very old and in good condi-
tion, but cannot say it is as old
as the clock. The hands, alarm
ring, and pendulum, all appear
to be original. Movement is 8
day, running, striking a coil
gong, and alarms on a bell. The
alarm winds low on the left
side. All in all a very nice iron
front. $150-$250.

m. L. Gilbert Clock Co. walnut parlor clock, "Metis",
ca 1891. A very nice original clock the only change being
a new paper dial. The dial pan, brass
rings, alarm ring, hands, and
fancy signed pendulum, all are
original. The tablet is original but
with some wear on the designs.
Movement is 8 day, clean,
signed, running, and striking a
cathedral gong on the half hours.
The heavy iron gong base is
signed, "G.B.Owen". The alarm
movement and brass bell are both
attached to an iron bracket that
is screwed to the case on the
base. That is very unusual, I
have never seen that configu-
ration before, and I suspect it
was also an innovation of G. B.
Owen. This is an excellent walnut case standing 22"
high, has very delicate parts and sharp points, everything
is still intact and original. Ly-Gilbert #1169. $200-$300.

Brewster & Ingrahams, Bristol, Conn. eight day steeple
clock, ca 1845. The 8 day movement is
signed and mounted with wood
blocks. It has a count wheel arrange-
ment and very large brass springs.
The clock has the original painted
zinc dial, original hands and pen-
dulum. It is running and strikes a
coil gong on the hours. Both glass-
es are original, bottom glass is very
different, but correct, and has mini-
mal paint loss. Mahogany veneered
case is 20" tall, good cone finials
and a door latch. The veneer on the
bottom of the case is ragged in a
few places but most of the case is
wonderful. The paper label is dirty
and has a few flakes of paper missing but about
95% still present. ou can read about this rare movement
and case in the book, "Handbook of Clocks Produced
by---and Brewster & Ingrahams", by Bill Ultsch and
Doug Cowan, pages 46-53. $250-$350.

m. L. Gilbert Clock Co. "Columbia", ca 1901. hat
a great looking clock, 37" walnut case, clean, good
label on the back, brass beat scale and pen-
dulum bob, and even has a signed
"Gilbert" winding key. It has a fine 8
day movement that is running
and striking a cathedral gong, it
has a simple calendar, and a nice
glass. That is the good part, now
the rest of the story. I paid $600 for
this clock, sold it a few auctions
back and it was returned because all
the finials, ornaments, glass, dial,
hands, are replacements. The carv-
ings are nice and slipped by me
when I listed the clock in the cata-
log. I tried it again in the July
2009 auction for $350, and did not
get a sniff. ou may have noticed
that I keep listing clocks and lower
the minimum prices until they sell. It is
because no matter how hard I have tried I simply can-
not eat them. I have ground them into pulp, seasoned
them, but I cannot chew or swallow the metal parts. The
wood I can get down. If you do not like this $150 min-
imum, wait until it goes in a catalog for $50. Ly-Gilbert
#361; and Ly-American #367. $200-$300.

E. N. elch Mfg. Co. walnut parlor clock, "Nanon", ca
1885. alnut case is 21.5" high, clean,
complete, and original. The
goop was cleaned off but no
feeder was put back on the
wood, consequently it looks dry
and unfinished. The glass has10
characters, all playing some
musical instrument. The numerals
on the old dial have been high-
lighted, poorly. The hands and
signed pendulum bob are all good.
The bob has the initials,
"EN " cast into the center.
The 8 day movement is
clean, running, and striking
the coil gong. Other than the artistic work on the dial this
is a nice clock. Ly- elch #442. $150-$250.

Ansonia Clock Co. statues, "Art and Commerce", ca
1904. Finished in Japanese
bronze originally but very little
of that finish remains, now
looks like silver. The statues
are 19" high and in excellent
condition retaining all their
original parts. One statue has
a slight stress fracture on an
arm. $200-$300.

International Time Recording, punching in, time clock, ca
1920. The dial, pendulum, hands,
and movement are all original. The
punch mechanism is complete and
sound, but you will need to clean
and service everything if you want a
pristine clock. Complete labels and
serial numbers inside indicating the
clock was made by International
Time Recording. The dial and door
are both signed, "International". The
oak case is 31" high, complete, orig-
inal, and has the old finish. The Seth
Thomas movement is running, how-
ever it probably could use some
cleaning and oil. The pendulum is
nickeled, there is an excellent painted
dial and the original hands. This is a
heavy little fellow for there is a lot of
iron inside that oak case. $200-$300.
