416.     $135

Junghans, Germany, wall clock that they probably made also as a shelf clock by leaving off the bottom piece. I must say, this is a very attractive case, clean and polished yet retaining the original finish. The mahogany case is 31 inches tall, has trim added each side of the door giving the impression they are columns with other trim pieces like bases and capitals. The door glass is in many pieces, all beveled and very nice. It has a silver dial with raised numerals and correct hands. The pendulum and 8-day movement are all original to the case. It plays Westminster chimes on the hours hitting five chime rods. The movement is running. I am not a great fan of these big heavy German clocks, but this one is very nice. $150-$300.

417.      $90

“Waterbury Clock Company, Waterbury, Conn.”, chime clock, “Chime No.495, ca 1925. The company touted this chime clock as one of the finest Westminster Chime Mantel Clocks with full Westminster Quarter-hour chime strike on 5 straight Wire Rods. The case is fine selected mahogany, with silvered metal dials and convex glass. Apparently, the brass has been polished off the sash for it is now copper colored. The hands, pendulum, movements, and all parts of the wood and internal pieces are original. It is running and striking properly. There is a label on the bottom but very dark.  Ly-Waterbury #377. $150-$300.

418.     $75

Weather set assembled on a board for wall or desk display. The distributor was “Highline West, Littleton, Colorado”, Model No. W530-106. Included in the 5-part set is a large barometer by Howard Miller, a large clock also by Howard Miller, thermometer, a small barometer, and a hygrometer. The 3 small pieces are marked, “Made In France”. The two large pieces marked, “Made In Germany”. The 8-day clock runs and strikes a bell once on the half hour, twice on the hour. The clock bezel was originally hinged but the hinge is broken. You just lift off the bezel. Very attractive but as you know not an heirloom. $100-$200.

419.      $80

Seth Thomas ships clock of some kind. The 8-day movement is running but I cannot make the chime/bell ring. The spring may be broken. It is mounted to a piece of genuine teak from Thailand. It has the strike-silent and slow-fast levers on the dial. I don’t know how close this clock is to being junk, but it runs and it looks nice. $100-$100.

German wall clock, typical wood case with 3 glasses, bottom finials, but top is missing. The movement runs 8-days and strikes hours on a coil gong mounted to the back of the movement. There are a couple of hauling chips but otherwise the wood is nice and very attractive having a burl effect on the front. $50-$100.

422.     $90

New Haven Clock Co., New Haven, Conn.”, metal cased mantel clock, “Arnold”, ca 1911. When produced it had an Ormolu Gold Plate finish, per New Haven, now still retaining some finish but not bright as it would have been when new. It has a decorated porcelain panel below the dial, and a signed porcelain clock dial. The dial has a small chip at 10 and a hairline. There is a typical metal back cover, pendulum and key. The 8-day movement runs and strikes a standing gong. Ly-New Haven #1048. $100-$200.

423.     $25

Lux Clock Mfg. Co., Waterbury, Conn., Syroco cased mantel clock, “Blossom Time”, ca 1928. The design on the dial is oriental with many colors. There is a raised dial, original hands, and key hole by the hand arbor. This model came with a 30-hour or 8-day movement and I am not sure which this one has, so assume 30-hour. It is not running but is complete so undoubtedly just needs oiling. Ly-American Clocks, Volume 3, #902. $25-$50.

430.     $25

Calculagraph Co. of New York, designed by Henry Abbott to record and calculates time from start to finish of a project. You insert a card and pull the start lever to imprint the beginning time and reinsert the same card when you are finished and pull the finish lever. AT&T used it around 1900 to calculate the long-distance charges on phone calls. It was reported that a pool hall used it to record the amount of time a person used a pool table.  I did not disassemble the unit but others report they use a Seth Thomas #110 movement and some say a #10 movement. The case is marked with a serial number, patents, etc. It is in good operating condition. Instructions for Installation, Operation, and Maintenance comes with it. Also, you can get tons of information on line and we noticed they sell regularly on EBay for $150-$300 and more. $100-$200.
