“Bristol Brass and Clock Co. Depot No.3 Courtlandt Street”, iron front clock, ca 1850. That is the label in the case but like so many Connecticut clock makers they used the American Clock Company in New York to market their clocks. This case is 16 inches high and 13 inches wide, dull paint compared to #653, more a flat black with a sprinkling of mother of pearl and dull red paint on the front. There is no brass bezel and glass over the dial, it is missing, the small one on the bottom is fine. The springs look small so it may be a 30-hour movement. $50-$100.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. Plymouth Hollow, Conn. early mantel clock simply called, “Column No.3”, and I expect it was made about 1863. The case is very dark, was polished by dark finish remains.  There are no veneer chips except on the base. The tablet is original, the top glass is a replacement. The printed material says this model was made of rosewood, I say it is mahogany veneer, case standing 25 inches tall. The dial is not bad for its age, a few small chips. The 30-hour movement is time and strike, and performing properly. There is an old coil gong, pendulum, winding crank, and hands. The label is near complete. The movement is signed properly. Ly-Seth Thomas, #1739. $150-$250.

Ansonia Clock Co. parlor clock, “Garfield”, ca 1901. This is one of the clocks in their 6 clock “G” Assortment. Clever how they did that. All six clocks names start with the letter “G”.  I notice while looking all the 6 clocks they substituted some of the parts. For instance, our Garfield has columns pictured on the Girard. The 8-day movement is running and striking half hours. The signed dial, hands, original glass, gong, pendulum, and movement are all original to the clock. Ly-Ansonia #1893. $75-$150.

Ansonia Clock Co. mantel clock they called, “Kirkwood”, ca 1901. The case is 22” tall, wood resembles walnut, and they called it “Dark Wood”, it kinda looks like oak to me.  There is ripple molding around the door and base, and a large number of deeply grooved or pressed designs all over the case front. The original dial is signed, hands and rings are original, very nice original glass, original pendulum, and an 8-day movement that strikes half hours on a gong. It is a very attractive clock and has a lot more going for it than I am giving credit for. Ly-Ansonia #1910. $75-$150.

E. Ingraham Clock Co. mantel clock, “Micha”, ca 1915. They described this clock as being one of their Lake Line clocks. I never heard of any of the six lakes mentioned. The oak case is 22 inches high, just a common kitchen clock, pressed designs in the wood, nothing fancy at all. It has a simple door latch, glass is not fancy, cheap dial is now darkened, cast metal pendulum and a coil gong. It has an 8-day hour and half hour movement that is running and striking the gong. Ly-Ingraham #1053. $75-$150.
