American/German clock/barometer made by, “P.F. Bollenbach Co.”, which was apparently a company located in Barrington, Illinois that bought movements from Germany and put them in cases they made. I found very little information about the Bollenbach Co. but a lot of their clocks for sale at times on EBay. This large wall piece is about 40 inches tall, the eight-day time only clock is running and the other primary functions, barometer and thermometer are performing. $100-$200.

Telechron electric clock with advertising on the dial. “Walter Jewelry Co.” painted on the dial of this gallery clock under the concave glass. The painted metal case is 15 ½ inches in diameter, and is signed on the movement and dial. It is in running condition. $50-$100.

“The Standard Electric Time Co. / Springfield, Mass.”, painted on the 12-inch dial of this gallery clock. The case is very heavy, battery movement is covered with an aluminum cover. I do not know if it runs, my sparse clock knowledge does not extend to electric clocks. $50-$100.

“New Haven Clock Co., New Haven, Conn.”, 8-day time and strike banjo clock, ca 1910.  The mahogany case with eagle on top is 36 inches tall, missing the side rails, but appears complete otherwise. The metal dial is showing slight wear on the silver, the hands and pendulum are correct, and the glasses are very nice. There is a complete label on the back but it does not show a model name and I cannot identify the model in Ly-New Haven. It certainly is not a cream puff, but surely worth our minimum. $125- $250.

“The Melodia”, by the Mechanical Organette Co., New York. This was one of the organettes produced by John McTammony and sold under a multitude of different names and styles, all using the 14-note paper 7 ¾ inches wide. As in the “Harmonia” model you turn the crank which rolls the paper from one spool to the other. You need to read the “Encyclopedia of Automatic Musical Instruments”, by David Bowers, to gain a complete understanding of the rare old roller organs. This is another fine walnut box with gold designs on all sides. Not considering the handle this box is 13 inches wide, 11 inches deep, and 7 ¼ inches high. There are no paper rolls with this box. I have sold only one of this model in years past, it went for $255. $150-$300.

“Concert Roller Organ”, ca 1880. These were mass produced in the late 1800’s and were welling for $7.60 by Sears Roebuck, and from $6 to $14 at other outlets. They were well made using durable materials. Among their contemporary competitors they were a musical success, both from the volume of sound produced and the arrangement and quality of the music. As such they are favorites of collectors today. The Concert was sold under many other brand names by various outlets. The large wood case with good gold stenciling on the front, sides, and top, is 18 inches wide, 15 inches deep, and 12 inches high.  A hinged lid just above the hand crank lifts to access the wooden cylinders or “cobs”, as they are called by collectors today. Our Organ does not have any “cobs” but can be acquired from other collectors. This instrument is in working condition and has excellent stenciling. The last Concert Roller Organ I sold went for $1530. $500-$1000.
