Waterbury Clock Co. hanging, “Calendar No. 36”, ca 1891. As far as I can tell I have never sold
a No. 36 wall model. Except for the bases it is identical to the shelf model No. 40. This good original oak case is 28” high, has
barley twist columns each side of the door, mushroom finials on top, and other nice etched, grooved, and sawn parts both applied and
attached. The calendar dial has some paint loss but is original, and the top dial is original with very little paint loss. The dial
pans, dial board, hands, pendulum, door latch, and gong, all appear to be original Waterbury stock. On the back are most of two paper
labels. The 8-day movement is running, striking and changing the calendar. Ly-Waterbury, page 104; Ly-Calendar, page 104. $750-$1000.

Seth Thomas bronze mantel clock, “Dorothy”, with an Art Nouveau finish, ca 1905. I cannot imagine
that anyone has collected and sold more Seth Thomas clocks than me and I have had fewer than 5 of these metal clocks in over 40 years
of selling, none of this model. Most of the metal clocks came with matching side pieces but I have never seen a complete set. This
clock is 16 inches tall, original finish has darkened over time but is complete and all original. The 15 day movement is running and
it strikes half hours on a Cathedral bell and has the correct pendulum. It has a 3 ½” decorated porcelain dial. Ly-Seth Thomas #1972.
$400-$750.

New Haven Clock Co. with a running 8-day movement by New Haven and a chime movement by Wilcock of Canada, patented 1896, copied from the chime movement of this large mantel clock. Like the Seth Thomas chime clocks, this one has two movements, the 8-day running movement has one hammer that strikes the hours on the largest of five coil gongs, and the chiming movement has one spring (wound from the side of the case) that plays Westminster Chimes, four hammers on four coil gongs. Also on the side is a chime/silent lever. Beveled glass in the brass sash, signed dial, and the hands are correct. Flat fluted columns on the sides with wood capitals and bases. There is a large piece of carved decoration on the front and metal feet. Large wood back door with a complete paper label stating in part, “Patented in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland”. The mahogany case is 17” tall, in very good condition, complete, and original. Pendulum and key included. $400-$600.

Seth Thomas metal mantel clock, “Roselle”, ca 1906. Very similar
to #4 as it was originally part of a 3 piece set. The finish is also very similar, Art Nouveau, and is 15 inches tall, complete
and original including the pendulum, decorated porcelain dial, and hands. The movement runs 15 days and strikes half hours on a Cathedral
bell. These decorator metal clocks are difficult to find if you are a collector of them. Ly-Seth Thomas, #2059. $500-$750.

Black Forest carved case holding a French clock, a thermometer, and a Holosteric Barometer
by “Radiguet A Paris”. The clock is an 8-day lever movement, striking half hours and hours on a coil gong. I did not run this
clock. I chose not to take it apart to check the movement. The porcelain dial is unsigned but did not check the movement for signature. Beveled glass in the French hinged sash, nice one piece porcelain dial and pair of old hands. The thermometer registers the typical
Centigrade temperature. The carved case is 30” tall and wonderfully carved in the Black Forest fashion of vines, leaves, and other
objects. $100-$300.
6. $350
Seth Thomas metal mantel clock, “Artful”, ca 1905. Another clock
similar to #4 and #5. This model originally was part of a 3 piece set, its side pieces were candelabras. This bronze clock is 16 inches
tall and originally had a nice clean Art Nouveau finish, now of course, aged and dull, probably nothing a good cleaning would not
fix. It also has a 15 day fine polished movement that is running and striking half hours on a Cathedral bell. It has a decorated and
signed porcelain dial, correct hands, and a special long pendulum visible in the case opening. Ly-Seth Thomas #1935. $400-$750.
