“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. $75-$150.

Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Co. mantel clock, “Dove”, one of Gilbert’s Birds Sets. They made them with wire gongs and Cathedral gongs. It is so clean inside and out that it looks new but I suspect some hobbyist with little to do spent days cleaning everything in and out. The dial is original and signed and the glass is original and correct for this series. It has an 8-day movement that is running and striking a Cathedral gong. It also has an alarm movement and it strikes a brass bell. The oak case is 22 inches tall, may have a small chip or nick around the case but is very clean. The movements, gongs, pendulum, etc. are clean and polished. Ly-Gilbert #1226. $75-$150.
