column steeple with 8 day brass springs, ca 1846.
with mahogany veneer and
has four full turned
columns and four finials.
One finial tip is broken off
about one inch from the
top. Other than a few tiny
chips on the bottom edges
the veneer is not bad.
There has been consider-
able repair and glue down
on the rolled front around
the door. The door frame
slopes inward toward the
cut glass, the top glass is old with replaced putty.
In the door is an ivory escutcheon, door lock and
key. Great old painted dial has retained its paint
but has yellowed slightly. There are old hands,
pendulum and key. Inside is a complete paper
label, coil gong with a fancy brass gong base, and
the signed brass movement. It still has the large
and original brass springs. The clock and move-
ment are pictured and described in the booklet by
Ultsch and Cowan, "Handbook of Clocks
Produced by Charles Kirk, Elisha C. Brewster,
and Brewster & Ingrahams, at Bristol,
Connecticut, 1828-1852", page 54. $500-$1000.

some restoration over the years.
Old glass in the hood and a very
nice signed dial with three old
hands. The weights are correct
tin can reproductions, and the
pendulum is the type this clock
should have. We see this style of
Whiting s clocks sell anywhere
from $1000 to $2000 when in
good condition. I am sorry the
unusual conditions. $750-$1500.

is in near perfect condition. Inside the case, in
addition to the heavy signed movement, there is
a large brass pendulum bob and wood stick, and
a brass beat scale, all original to the clock. We
have sold a few of this and similar models over
the years, but we have not had one this nice. Ly-

All original and very clean oak case is 28" tall,
and has a very nice aged
patina. There are two near
perfect labels on the back of
the case, two very nice orig-
inal dials with correct hands
and an original door glass.
The gong, calendar roller
papers, and other movement
and case parts all appear to
be original and correct.
There is a good pendulum
and a winding key inside.
The 8 day movement is run-
ning and strikes a large gong
on the half hours and hours. The calendar/run-
ning movement connections are in place and
proper. Ly-Waterbury #238. $500-$750.
carved column and splat case with an 8 day wood
movement, ca 1833. Shortly after making this
clock he moved to Ohio
where he remained until his
death.
39" tall and in excellent con-
dition top to bottom. I found one
small veneer chip on the base. The
case retains its original finish, now
very dark, but a dark you will like.
The chimneys, caps and returns are
all in place and original. It has very
nice carved half columns and two
doors.
key that came with the clock to unlock both doors
so I found another key. Now you have two keys for
two doors. I will call both glasses original because
of the wood strips and condition of the frame in
general. The wood mirror backing is like new but
everything else is pristine and original so I suppose
the glasses, strips, backing, etc. could also be orig-
inal. If changes have been made to the glasses or
anything else, Houdini must have done it. The only
shortcoming I find with the clock is that part of the
label is missing, thankfully an insignificant part.
The 8 day movement is a Terry type and original to
the clock. There are unusually large, almost square
weights, weighing 12 lb. and 13+ pounds, and
those numbers were cast into the metal when they
were made. The dial is pristine and it has old hands,
pendulum, crank, and iron bell. The rollers on top
are in place and apparently the weights are com-
pounded for at the end of one weight cord is anoth-
er pulley. One cord is missing and I saw tracks
behind the splat where tightening, gluing, etc. had
been done. $500-$750.
clock, ca 1825. This clock was restored and one
of a great many early
wood
lection we purchased
last spring. Many of
his rare wood move-
ment clocks are in
this catalog. He had
several wood move-
ment tall clocks but
this one occupied a
very important place in his lux-
urious mountain top summer
home. The 94" tall case is cher-
ry with some cherry veneer and
cherry inlays. I have been
unable to locate this extremely
rare time, strike, and alarm,
movement in any research
materials or pictures of
Hoadley s clocks. He made
many movements with the
alarm feature but none in a tall
case clock that I could find. It
looks to be a 30 hour move-
ment and is complete except
for the alarm ring on the dial. There are pewter
minute and hour hands. We had new weight cords
installed on the spools, ordered a new pendulum
hanger, and a pair of correct new weight cans
from a parts supplier. The metal can has the wood
plug in the top, the can is painted and is full of
rocks. If this clock were all original I would
expect it could bring $4000 in a live auction.
$1000-$2000.
low column shelf clock, ca about 1843. The burl
case is very near
perfect
the
chip or two on the bottom
board. All the glasses are
old, but original to this case,
impossible for me to tell.
The 30 hour brass move-
ment is a Jerome type, and
are no doubt original to the case. The pendulum
bob and lead weights are late additions and did
not come with the case. It takes very narrow
round weights to transcend the hollow columns.
Typical ogee and other 30 hour weights will not
work, therefore someone had the lead weights
made. Note there is no label in the bottom of the
case but the blue paper covers the backboard in
the upper section. Clock is pictured on page 70 of
the NAWCC Bulletin Supplement #15, "From
Rags To Riches To Rags / The Story of Chauncey
Jerome". $400-$600.
