E. Ingraham & Co. wood cased mantel clock, “Crystal”, ca 1880. This case is a little fancier than other octagon top clocks Ingraham made. The door is gold paint covered with a really nice glass. There are some small paint chips on the door. The old dial is dirty but complete. Inside is a black paper label covering the backboard. There is some loss of paper, maybe 25%. The walnut case is 15 inches tall, complete and original. The one day movement is running and striking the coil gong. Ly-Ingraham #868. $50-$100.

New Haven Clock Co. banjo clock, “Willis”, ca 1928. Near perfect example and all original. They call the eagle and side rails, “Gold Ornaments”. I probably would not go that far. Mahogany case is 18” tall and has “Solarchrome Panels”. Convex glass, correct hands, and a signed silver dial indicating the movement is a 12-day runner. It winds and sets from the back. Bottom door opens to –a jewelry box, whatever. Ly-New Haven #191. $100-$200.

“Manufactured by W. H. Scott for John M’Menomy, 197 Chatham St. New York”, a 4-column weight clock, ca 1850. Some, perhaps him, made a great many of these 4 column clocks for other companies, including Seth Thomas and others. The 30-hour brass movement in this case is not signed. It takes two wafer size weights to power the movement and sound the gong each hour. It has a complete and nice paper label, wood dial and period hands and pendulum. The 26-inch-high walnut case is smoky black, never has been cleaned. It is running and striking correctly. Note it is missing the lower glass. $150-$250.

280.           $75

Chauncey Jerome cottage clock, ca 1850. Mahogany veneered case is 16” high, and being typical Jerome the case style is different than other clockmakers of his day. The case is similar to other unusual shelf clocks pictured in his catalogs, but none are exact. Note the mirror in the Gutta Percha glasses. Glasses are original and held with original wood strips. It has the original dial and hands, dial apparently has some flaking but it looks fine as it is. If it were a $1000 clock you may wish to repaint it. Old brass bob, wire gong and the signed eight-day movement, are all original to this clock.  100% of the old paper label is still on the back of the bottom glass. $100-$150.

New Haven Clock Co. “Round Gothic, Extra”, one of their mantel clocks, this one made with rosewood veneer, ca 1880. It is 17” high. The veneer is good all over, the rounded parts still has very good veneer. Both glasses are original, so is the painted dial, perhaps the hands are, old brass bob and a key. The movement is eight-day, signed, running, striking a coil gong. Probably 90% of the label is still on the backboard. The bottom glass has some minor flaking, apparently only the white paint in some of the flower petals. Ly-New Haven #1219. $35-$75.

Waterbury Clock Co. mantel clock, wood case, “Celtic”, ca 1881. Rosewood case is about 18 inches tall, gold paint around the outside of the one-piece door. The square part of the door has an unusual flair that you can hardly see in person much less in the photo. Along the top of the square is a piece of wood trimmed out like leaves. The gold is to nice not to be recently done. The dial is a new paint, hands are probably also new. Most of a paper label remains inside. The movement runs 8-days and strikes a coil gong. Ly-Waterbury #1500. $50-$100.
