Warren Telechron Co., Ashland, Mass. Made this,
"Telechron", ca 1926. Telechron means, "Time from a

distance". Henry Ellis Warren,

a graduate of M.I.T. was
known as the "Father of

Electric Time". This oak

case is two sided, has two

dials and two synchronous

motors, operated with elec-

tric power. The wires to the

motors were cut when the

clock was removed from its

source. The nice oak case is

16" square, has one door, and two key

locks for that one door. Both motors and dials are
accessed from the inside. Two metal painted dial, each
with three hands, and both are correctly signed. $200-
$300.

"Smiths / Enfield / London / Made In England", signed
on the 12" painted dial of this 16" gallery clock. Clean,
polished mahogany case is near per-
fect, polished brass bezel with a
flat glass, original hands, and
a latching door on the base.
The brass bezel is also held
in place with a latch. The
brass double spring move-
ment is 8 day and strikes
hourly on a coil gong.
Overall in very nice condition.
$200-$300.

Ansonia Clock Co. crystal regulator, "Prism", ca 1914.
A very plain, inexpensive, crystal regulator that fits my

pocketbook. It is 10.75" high,

finished as "polished brass".

Now dull, has been a long time
since polished. Wouldn't you
know, the only one of four
beveled glasses with a corner
chip is the front glass, and it has
two. Inside the case you have the
same movement, porcelain dial

with open escapement, and

gong, that you find on the
expensive models. Two piece

dial is signed on both, faint hair-

lines on the dial ring, correct

hands, and imitation mercury pendulum. Signed 8 day
movement is running and striking half hours and hours
on the gong. Very dirty case, otherwise it is fine. Ly-
Ansonia #369. $200-$300.

Chauncey Jerome novelty dresser/desk clock in a wood
case. Made like an alarm clock, but it is time only,
backwind and set, and running. Brass handle, metal
back, nickeled bezel, original hands, dial
is signed, "Jerome & Co.". I just
noticed the dial is a little out of kilter
in the picture. I forgot to turn it
upright The wood case is 4" square,
plus the handle. In good condition but
it needs service. I notice it sometimes
quits running when you move it.
$100-$150.

Gerstner machinist tool box. Oak case with latches
galore, I see five, and one of them is a key lock latch, but

no key. Hinged top lid, and hinged front

that drops down to access the

many drawers. It is no flim-

sy box. I would be too tired

to work after carrying the

box (empty) to a job, much

less full of tools. It is not

unlike many other boxes we

have sold in the past. The box

is 20" wide, 15" high, and 9.5" deep, oak is clean, has a
leather carrying handle, and is ready to load with tools
and look for a job. Good Luck. $200-$300.

$100

Dietz brass lantern, ca 1895. Around the base are
stamped inscriptions, "Cold Blast / Made
In U.S.A. / Rayo / Pony / No. 15". The
original glass globe is signed, "Junior /
Cold Blast / H5". The brass is pol-
ished, lamp is complete with all parts,
no fuel in the base of course. With the
handle/bail up it is 16.5" high. $200-
$300.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. cottage clock, "Tudor No.1",
ca 1879. Early shelf clock, often called a "Tombstone

Clock", it is 16" high, mahogany

veneered, restored in that the case

has been cleaned/polished and

the dial cleaned. Excellent

complete paper label, veneer
has no problems, dial is near

perfect, and the 8 day time and

striking movement has been

serviced. The movement still

has the Geneva stops, strikes a

bell on the hours, hands correct
and probably original, and a
proper brass bob. A really fine
original

clock.

Lenzkirsch miniature RA clock, ca 1870. I had extreme
difficulty deciphering the logo on the movement, but
once I found it I realized it was an early
logo used by Lenzkirsch from 1851 to
1875. The serial number on this
movement, 186593, dates it 1870
according to the company's
records. The little walnut case is only
21" tall and 9" wide at the top. It is
made like the "big" clocks, three
glasses, wall levelers, carved orna-
ments top and bottom, black accents
around the case edge and on the orna-
ments, door beveled or grooved
around inside and outside edges, and
a case number on the back. Two piece
porcelain dial is perfect, pair of orig-
inal hands, porcelain RA bob insert,
brass hanger, and an old winding key.
Was I surprised when I started checking out
this little fellow. The only thing making it nicer would
be if it was weight driven, not spring. $250-$500.

Ansonia Clock Co. "Cabinet No. 46", ca 1917.

.Beautiful clean case, book says made

with mahogany, probably is but also

light color like walnut. It is only

8.75" tall and is a lot of clock in a

small case. Beveled glass, brass
hinged sash, porcelain dial, cor-

rect hands and all is excellent.

Dial is signed two places. Hinged

back door, Cathedral gong, signed 8

day movement, and the correct
Ansonia pendulum. Underneath

are four brass bunn feet. Strikes the

gong on half hours and hours. Ly-

Ansonia #954. $100-$200.

$100

Ignatz/Flying Pendulum clock, a reproduction of the
early Jerome model. These are novelty clocks, not
accurate timekeepers, however you can reg-
ulate them to get you to meals, but not
doctors appointments. Like new con-
dition, hardly used or worn. They
have been reproduced in Germany for
years and probably other places
including the United States. It is
flying/running. $150-$250.

E. Ingraham & Co. "Small Venetian", ca 1880. This
mini 13" clock is next to the smallest Venetian clocks,

there is one only 11.5" high. It is not one

of a kind for I have sold at least one

previously and have seen a couple

of others. It is complete and origi-

nal, has never been touched, case

wise. The gilt columns are peel-

ing, dial is very dark and soiled,

and the wood case has nicks and

bumps but no serious damage. The
tablet is wonderful, just minor

paint flakes, the figure 8 door is

perfect, there is a complete label

inside, and an old brass bob. The

movement is one day, complete,

striking on a coil gong. Ly-Ingraham #831. $150-$300.

Wm. L. Gilbert & Co. miniature steeple, ca 1860. The
one day timepiece movement is one used
by S. B. Terry in many of his early clocks
but he first used it in some of the
Gilbert clocks when he was a fore-
man in Gilbert's clock shop. This is
a very rare clock and the only one I
have seen or heard of. The 14.75"
mahogany veneered case is very
nice, the only big problem is a
missing finial tip. The tablet and
top glass are old and probably orig-
inal. The painted dial has good
paint, very few chips and little
wear. It has the correct hands and
pendulum bob, and a complete
paper label inside. The ladder movement is complete,
and it has an alarm that winds below the dial. This clock
is not in the Ly-Gilbert books. $150-$300.

tall with applied wood pieces on

opens to access and wind the one
day balance movement. Paper

correct hands, and a winding key.
We have not seen this particular
cabinet model before. $100-
$150.
