770.           $50

Ridgeway floor clock, made in Germany, ca 1970’s. The 8-day movement is running and signed “Gravely Furn. Co. / Made In Germany”. It strikes Westminster chimes, is running, and has a strike-silent lever. The plain case is light walnut, and there are no frills or extras except the finial. The two doors catch with a magnet and the back over the movement is removable. That is a nice extra. The pendulum and pendulum rod are brass. The dial is very attractive with cast brass spandrels on the corners, a silver dial ring, and silver globe above the dial. $100-$200.

773.           $100

“Manufactured by W. H. Scott for John M’Menomy, 197 Chatham St. New York”, a 4-column weight clock, ca 1850. Someone, maybe 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 very nice paper label, wood dial, period hands, and pendulum. The 26-inch-high walnut case is smoky black, and has never been cleaned. It is running and striking correctly. Note, it is missing the lower tablet. $100-$150.
