New Haven Clock Co., New Haven, Conn. hanging clock, “Tampico”,
ca 1907. The oak case is 43 inches high, now in a medium dark and aged color. Some light carvings on the top and base, otherwise a
plain case. Glasses are possibly replacements, key lock on the door, the paper dial with recessed seconds dial and the three hands
are original as are the brass pendulum, wood stick, and beat scale. The movement runs 30 days. This clock is very uncommon, in fact,
I have only seen and sold one other in over 40 years. Ly-New Haven #542. $500-$750.

Bundy Time Recording Co., Binghampton, NY, ca 1903. Their time
recorders used Seth Thomas movements and I cannot find information as to who made the cases but I will say that they certainly resemble
other cases made by Seth Thomas for other companies. All of the time recording mechanisms are missing from the lower section of the
case as well as part of the door which has been replaced with glass. The top and base of the 56 inch oak case are original and have
carved sections that are very attractive. The dial is signed “ST”, is original as are the hands, beat scale, and pendulum. There is
a key lock on the door. The movement is running, is extra large and takes a large key to wind the springs. It may well be a 15 day
or 30 day running movement. It is a very nice looking case and you would not be ashamed to hang it in your home as a time only regulator.
$400-$750.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Regulator No. 25”, ca 1907. Flemish oak
case is 37” high, stained many times, now dark. The painted glass is still very bright, no fading or paint loss. Inside the case everything
resembles the Seth Thomas No. 2 regulators, i.e. 8-day signed movement is time only, one weight. The hands, nickel and damascened
pendulum ball, wood stick, and beat scale, are typical of those seen in the No. 2 cases. The brass weight is of the Seth Thomas style.
Zinc dial pan has original paint and signed Seth Thomas. The case inside and outside is clean and the movement has been cleaned, serviced,
and is running as expected. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 305, states that the No. 25 model was made for the Harvey Houses on the Santa Fe
Railroad route. There were only 47 Harvey Houses. It may not be as attractive as some of the Seth Thomas Regulators, but it is very
rare, for we almost never see them. Anyone trying to collect the St Regulators will want to consider this one. $2000-$2500.

Bundy Time Recording Co., Binghampton, NY, ca 1903. This is another
great clock and case without the time recording movements. The case is 45 inches tall and is a great looking clock. The oak has aged
gracefully, now darker resembling walnut more than oak. Note the carvings on the top and bottom and on the dial board. The original,
now dark, dial is complete and signed, “Made By Bundy Manufacturing Co. Binghampton, N.Y.”. The silver pendulum is signed, “BMCo”.
Everything is original including the pendulum, beat scale, dial and hands, silver tag label on the dial board, glass, and door lock
with key. The silver tag label says among other things, “Patented in Great Britain 1890”. The movement takes a special very large
key and I would imagine the movement runs 15 or 30 days for it is also very large. $750-$1000.

Self Winding Clock Co. Regulator No. 16, an uncommon walnut case
with a rotary style “A” movement. Original finish has been polished, rubbed out, and ready to hang and enjoy. Old wavy glass, two
door locks on the side, excellent carvings and a very attractively designed case, top to bottom. Original 10 inch dial pan was repainted
sometime in the past and is near mint. Brass trim throughout including the dial ring, beat scale, and a near perfect damascened pendulum
bob. The movement has been cleaned, serviced, tested, and runs as it should, takes “D” cell flashlight batteries. The outstanding
and all original walnut case is 48” tall, 16” wide, and 7” deep. The identical case is found in the Seth Thomas books as their Regulator
No. 9. $1250-$1500.

New Haven Clock Co. hanging clock, “Standard Time No. 2”, ca
1883. This is an extremely and rare clock that I have never seen or heard of. I did find evidence where a spring driven No. 2 sold
many years ago, but none weight driven like this one. The company listed many uses for this clock and they can be read in Ly-New Haven,
page 151. The first group listed is, “Commercial and public service, including the dropping of time balls, the operation of flash
signals, the firing of time guns, and the control of time clocks”. Do I understand any of that? No. The 45 inch high walnut case is
so nice and clean it looks new. It uses a single round weight resembling those used in a Seth Thomas No. 2. It has a brass pendulum
bob on a wood stick, original glass with gold leaf painted “Standard Time”, repainted dial signed, “Standard Clock Co. / New Haven”,
correct hands, and a fancy metal beat scale. The 8-day movement is clean and running. For more information see Ly-New Haven, page
151. $1250-$1750.
