Wind-Mill Mission Strike Clock", pat-
tern "NN", ca 1906. The case is made
of "specially prepared Wood and have
a Smooth Flemish Mission Oak fin-
ish", their words. The 19.5" oak case is
dark like most mission clocks, proba-
bly never cleaned, but the entire clock
is original and looks great. It has the
correct brass numerals and hands and
the figure in the bottom is an Art Print
in natural colors, and is nice. Most of
the paper label is on the back, correct
metal back cover, signed 8 day move-
ment with pendulum and a key. The
clock runs and strikes hours and half
hours on a Cathedral gong. Ly-Gilbert
#1278. $200-$300.
Drop Octagon-R.C.", ca 1901.
One of the finest red oak cases I
have seen, absolutely stunning,
clean and polished. It is 24"
high, has the original door and
bezel latches, brass polished,
original glasses, and any nicks
or bruises doctored so well you
cannot detect them. Original
signed dial, hands, and brass
bob. Movement is time only, 8
day, and running. No extra holes
anywhere, and a near perfect
label inside. Ly-Ansonia #663.
$250-$350.
made by Hamburg American
Clocks, Wurtennburg, Ger-
many. The 8 day brass move-
ment has their crossed arrows
trademark
the back door. This is a neat
little shelf clock in excellent
condition. It has the 8 day
movement that is running and
striking a standing Cathedral
gong, a porcelain dial, two
original hands, brass dial
center, and good brash sash
and glass. The fine little oak
case is 10.25" high, half
columns (barley twist) each side of the dial, and several applied trim
pieces about the case. It is not perfect, but is extremely nice. $150-$250.
adamantine
or "Sucile", ca 1907.
This poplar case style
has a rolling top, two
onyx columns each end,
and rounded adamantine
sides. The extra nice case
is 17½" wide and almost
12" high. The incised
designs on the front and
all the adamantine, are
tory flaw, but you can hardly see it and you probably would not notice it
if I did not call it to your attention. The case is primarily black, with white
onyx columns, and some adamantine is orange and green speckled. Metal
ornaments on columns and metal feet. Excellent signed dial, hands, metal
inner dial, sash and glass. About half of a paper label on the back, correct
metal door, and pendulum. 8 day movement is running, striking a brass
bell on the half hours and a gong on the hours. Ly-Seth Thomas, pages
471-473. We have seen this style case, in nice condition, sell at clock
shows for as much as $750, but not lately. $250-$350.
Co. "Chime Clock
No.74", ca 1921. It
has
quarter
ing the slow-fast. Mahogany cabinet case is 20.25" wide and 10" high.
Case is clean, yet has not been cleaned in the grooves. Two tone
mahogany contrasting panels on the front. The silver dial with black
numerals is very nice for the type dial. Normally the silver dials would
show considerable wear. The dial is signed, nice fancy hands are correct,
convex beveled glass, and good cast metal sash. This clock is a good $400
value. Ly-Seth Thomas #452. $250-$350.
porcelain dial, stylish wood case,
and movements many have come to
know and love. The clock came to
us in a collection, hence the low
minimum price. The case resem-
bles, or is mahogany, has a good fin-
ish, and stands 23" high with the
metal handle up. As you can see the
case has style, and is in good condi-
tion except the round covers over
the movements are missing. I am not
sure there ever were any. On the
sides are openings with fancy wood
grillwork to allow the melodious
sounds to escape the case. Time dial
is two piece porcelain, good hands,
brass rings, and an open escape-
ment. Calendar dial is porcelain,
with moon phase, large dial and
hand indicating the months, small
with a good beveled glass. The pendulum may not be correct for the
movement. It looks correct, but I believe it should have more weight in the
bob. The clock is what it is, complete, and a lot for this minimum. I can
see it bringing big money at a farm auction. $200-$300.
