Clock Co. Bristol / Ct.
U.S.", copied from the
original painted metal
dial of this rare and early
gallery clock, ca 1853-1855. The
name
J. C. Brown was the President of
both companies. The rosewood
veneered octagon gallery case is
10½" in diameter, has ripple mold-
ing around the top edge, brass
bezel and old glass over the dial. There are some small veneer chips. The
putty around the glass is gone, now held with soldered metal strips. The
dial had a few chips that were recently touched up by the Dial House. All
three hands appear to be correct. This rare little clock is seldom seen for
sale. We have seen a couple sell over $1200. $800-$1200.
over the front and in the floor of the elaborate case. Large assortment of
gold gilded bronze ornaments including several large horses around the
base. We acquired this clock from one of Central Kentucky's leading
horseman and entrepreneurs. He owned the Central Kentucky Coca Cola
distributorship, the areas largest resort hotel and golf course, a large horse
farm, and many other properties including impressive homes in Kentucky,
California and Florida. His family sold us this clock after he relocated to
an assisted living facility. We had an identical clock 8-10 years ago and it
was sold by a local antique dealer for $25,000. We suspect this is the same
clock. The clock is 42" high and 24.5" wide at the base, and may have
been in two sections originally. It so, it is now permanently affixed. It has
a full wood back door, a sunburst pendulum, and all the ornaments that
came on the clock originally. The local owner had the clock cleaned and
polished and all metal is bright and clean. The 8 day movement is solid
plate, square, has outside count, and bell strike. The movement is signed,
"Vincenti & Cie / Medalle de Argent". If it could be flaunted in my
uncharacteristic home, it would not leave here. Not every home is
designed to accommodate this elaborate clock, and it is one that deserves
to be in a place where it can be seen and appreciated by all. $15,000-
$25,000.
polished/rubbed out, now with a clean finish.
A little furniture polish would enhance its
beauty greatly. Basically an original clock,
has a small partial label on the back, old glass,
nickel bob and wood stick, nickel dial ring,
and a signed Waterbury key. The old original
dial is signed, and it has the correct hands. 8
day time only movement is signed and run-
ning briskly. There are no extra holes around
the movement or dial. The dial board was
repaired on both sides because an oversized
screw was used at some time. The small acorn
finial on the bottom left is a replacement. The
top has carved pieces, grooved and fluted
designs. The base also has grooved designs
and an applied wood ornament. The door is
held in place with a knob latch. Ly-Waterbury
