“E. Ingraham Clock Co.”, banjo clock, “Treasure Island”, ca 1934. One of their more popular models, made with solid mahogany and standing 39 inches high, hand rubbed with solid brass side rails. Brass rails need to be polished to match the brass bezel. It has great original glasses, the throat glass shows the pirates treasure map, bottom glass shows them burying the treasure. There is a nice signed silver dial, original hands, and bowed glass in the sash. On top is a metal eagle. The movement runs 8-day with a duplex rod strike, has the original pendulum and is running and striking. There is a complete paper label on the back. We used to sell these for $750, you get a bargain. $200-$350.

Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Conn., “Musical Parlor Clock No. 526”, ca 1890. This adamantine case is their “Roslyn” model, but they used different models for their musical clocks. It is just your typical black adamantine case decorated with gilt feet and ornaments, onyx columns, and the translucent effect of orange and green adamantine. The 8-day movement is running and striking a Cathedral gong on half hours and hours. I tested the striking and music a few times and I think the music is out of sync, maybe playing music on the half hours instead of the hours. Their Musical Parlor Clock is pictured in Ly-Seth Thomas, page 640. $150-$300.

“E. N. Welch Mfg. Co. Forestville, Conn. U.S.A.”, copied from the partial label in the   beehive clock, ca 1864. This case is 100% original except for the paint on the lower glass. The top glass is also original. The case is 19” tall, excellent but for a ragged bottom board on the base. It has the correct door knob. Original painted zinc dial, not sure about the hands, and there is an old brass bob. The movement is 8-day, signed, running, but needs to be serviced. It strikes a coil gong and alarms on an iron bell. The alarm movement is in the bottom of the case. This is not a perfect clock by any means but all you need is a painted glass to bring it back and make it presentable.   Ly-Welch, page 177. $100-$200.

Ansonia Clock Co. porcelain clock, “Register”, ca 1901. Made from the same materials and in the same way as the clocks stamped “Royal Bonn”. Royal Bonn is only a trademark of a German company that made porcelain clocks. Over time folks began to think their clocks were better than all others. This fine clock was decorated in green with gold accents, and painted flowers all around. The case is 13 ½ inches wide and over 11 ½ inches high. It is perfect or near perfect with no cracks, chips, or repairs. It has a beveled glass in the sash, two piece signed porcelain dial, correct hands, and open escapement mechanism. On the back it is signed “Register”, has the correct metal back cover, pendulum bob inside, cathedral gong, and an 8-day signed movement.  Ly-Ansonia page 602. $250-$400.

“Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Conn.”, one of the first City Series clocks they made, the “Chicago”, ca 1874. The rosewood veneered case is excellent but still retains a slightly darkened appearance. This model has always been one of my favorite City Series clocks. The nice brass diamond shaped ornaments around the lower glass definitely need to be polished to make the clock ever so more desirable. They put some black paint around that brass, not good. The signed dial is original and has some very minor chips and has darkened slightly. The bottom glass is what makes the clock and there is a little paint loss but not enough to turn you off the clock, at least not to me. Those things can be easily fixed, but that is the way it is. Near perfect label inside, very nice glasses, correct hands, brass pendulum bob, and coil gong. 8-day movement is signed, running, and striking correctly. At least polish the brass ornaments and you will have a beautiful clock. We have had a Chicago on our bedroom dresser for as long as I have been collecting clocks, and it has a beautiful female portrait on the tablet. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 188. $150-$300.

E. N. Welch Mfg. Co. hanging clock made expressly for the “Metropolitan Manufacturing Co.”, ca around 1895. The movement is signed by Welch, the pendulum is a Welch pendulum, as are the gongs, bells, alarm movement, etc. The case is found in Ly-Welch. There are excellent labels on the back indicating it was “Manufactured Exclusively for Metropolitan Manufacturing Co.”. Some clocks have been found that were made by Ingraham for Metropolitan at a New York City address. This clock is very nice, clean and polished, running and sounding off on the bells and gongs. The walnut case is 27 inches high and the glass is near perfect and the dial is only slightly soiled. $150-$300.
