Black Forest Cuckoo clock movement imported to the United States
where the cases were made and sold by the American Cuckoo Clock Co. Philadelphia, Pa. about 1900. This large case is 25 inches tall,
original and very dark having never been cleaned. The three-weight movement runs one day and strikes on the coil gong one time at
15 minutes after the hour. 2 times at 30 after, etc. On the hour it also sounds the cuckoo’s. It was put in good running condition
by the previous owner. Note the near complete label on the backboard. The movement is not signed. $500-$750.

Wm. Gilbert Regulator No. 14, ca. 1901. Gilbert produced this 50-inch wall regulator in oak only,
and this one is in fine shape. It has a 12-inch dial trimmed in nickel with a seconds dial inset. The outer paper dial
is signed and presumably replaced long ago, while the inset dial, harder to replace, is yellowed. The hands are as shown in
the catalog photo (Ly, Gilbert Clocks, p. 137), there is a nickeled weight with a nickel pulley and a bright shiny nickel pendulum
bob on a wooden stick. The glass is a replacement, the pendulum bob might possibly be. The brass plate movement, 8-day,
time-only, with dead beat escapement and retaining power, is running and keeping time. The backboard has been painted black,
as shown in the catalog photo, and there are remnants of a label on the back. A better-than-average example of this clock. One sold on eBay two years ago for $1100.

8-day time-only movement, running and keeping time. It is 32 inches tall and has a nearly complete label, behind plastic, on
the back. A penciled note says it was sold in 1911. No recent sales on eBay or ACPG. $150-$250.
