calendar
24" high and has an imitation rose-
wood finish that has not been
cleaned/refinished,
mulation. The top glass is a
replacement with new white putty,
the bottom glass is original and is
held with the old putty. Typical
Ingraham door hinges have sagged
slightly
too heavy for the type hinges they
used. Correct pendulum, hands,
dial, and 8 day time only move-
ment with a simple calendar. The
movement is signed and running.
There is no label but the door
hooks and side ears are correct and intact. $200-$300.
clock, ca 1900. Original walnut case
is 24" high and a cut above most of
this company's parlor cases. There is
considerable jigsaw work, grooved
and etched designs, and the acces-
sories are more abundant and nicer
than found on most parlor clocks.
There are two things keeping it from
being outstanding. I believe the dial
and dial pan are replacements. The
movement is signed and original to
the case, as is the alarm movement,
alarm bell, and Cathedral gong. The
pendulum is unusual and I would
call it "top of the line" for parlor
clocks. The hands are questionable,
glass looks correct, and the case is
complete and all original. I cannot
find this clock in Ly-Ingraham, even
though I know it is correct. It may have been made for one of the washer
companies, that bought clocks from Ingraham, Waterbury, Welch, and
others, to give away. $150-$250.
"Branford", ca 1911. Solid oak
case appears to be carved over
the front. It is only 19" high and
is considerably smaller than the
23" and 28" models of the same
clock that are pictured in the cat-
alogs. The case is clean, all orig-
inal, and very unusual. Brass
bezel, replaced glass, good origi-
nal 8" painted dial, old hands,
brass bob and key. The move-
ment is 8 day, clean and running,
striking a coil gong on the hours.
Label on the back is about 2/3rds
present, the important 2/3rds
actually. Ly-New Haven #613 for
larger sizes of this model. $200-
$300.
case stained in a walnut shade. Good
cutout designs top and bottom, heavy
beveled glass over the dial, lead-
ed/beveled glass in the bottom. Plain
yet stylish case is very nice, no dam-
age or repairs. Door hook on the
side, silver dial is signed "J", has
correct hands, and a clean move-
ment, time only, running for 8 days.
I would have bet the farm it was a
one day movement, but it fooled me.
Correct pendulum and key. $200-
$300.
Mauthe, ca about 1925. Walnut case is
43" high, tops of this type are always
questionable, but the way it is made
and fits the top groove, it may well be
original. Three good glasses, turned
half columns, and the tail is complete
with a bottom finial. Inside is a beat
scale, correct brass pendulum bob
with a five rod lyre type hanger, and
an 8 day movement mounted to a
metal back plate. The movement is
signed "F.M.S.", the Mauthe trade-
mark. It is running, and strikes a coil
gong mounted behind the movement
on the back plate. Brass dial ring and
inner dial with designs, original
hands, and a large plastic like dial. The
half columns have lost some finish but
I believe Old English or some furni-
ture stain should correct any prob-
lems. Both door hooks are missing.
$250-$350.
clock with Normandy Chimes. A slender
mahogany finished case, 24" high, with their
best 8 day pendulum movement that strikes two
long chime rods. The pendulum rod and ball
has a polished nickel finish. Six inch dial is
satin silvered with ornamental hands and
beveled lower glass. They touted the clock to be
"graceful in design, rich in appearance, for a
modern home or apartment". Ly-Gilbert #1721.
$150-$250.
