French marble clock, ca 1890. I could not get a good picture because the marble is so black. Perhaps you can see the porcelain dial and the gold chimney bases, two on each side. The sash is holding a flat glass that has a small chip over the number 10, there is a good one-piece porcelain dial with metal center, and a correct pair of hands. On the back is a brass door. Inside is an 8-day movement signed only, “Medaille D’Argent. It has a correct French pendulum and a standing coil gong. $100-$200.

German steeple clock, in a nicely finished pine case with slant bottom and latching door. It is 15 inches tall, all original and has no repairs or additions.

Waterbury Clock Company shelf clock, “O.G. Weight”, ca 1880’s. Mahogany veneered case is 26” high and from all indications is all original, but not without some flaws. There are a few tiny chips or rough places, but overall it is a very nice looking and a sound case. Both glasses are replacements, has an excellent paper label, original dial and hands, and an old bob and winding crank. The original dial has some small flakes around the screws   but overall good for its age. The 30-hour brass movement is weight driven, time and strike. We tested the movement with finger pressure, not with weights, and found the movement to be complete and sound, and should run with the weights in place, but we recommend you check it over before hanging the pair of old iron weights. The movement strikes on a coil gong. Ly-Waterbury, pages 394-397. $50-$100.
