Waterbury Clock Co. hanging “Drop Octagon, 8 Inch”, ca 1910. The oak case is 19 inches tall, clean and polished. It has the original dial now slightly soiled or worn and the hands are original. Not sure about the pendulum although the Waterbury pendulums on this type clock were different than other makers. Inside is a paper label and another on the back of the case. The 8-day time only movement is running. Ly-Waterbury #672.  $75-$150.

E. Ingraham Clock Co. calendar clock, “Drop Octagon”, ca 1915. This is their 12-inch model that has pressed designs around the top and bottom, “Regulator” painted on the bottom glass, and an 8-day time and calendar movement. The solid oak case is 25 inches tall and completely covered with 100 years of accumulated residue. It has never been cleaned and sure needs to be. Admittedly it looks good from a few feet away but up close it appears covered with scum, like it hung in a restaurant kitchen or worse. It is all original and has a label on the back and is running. Ly-Ingraham #276. $50-$100.

Sessions Clock Company calendar clock, “Crescent No.15”, ca 1915. The clock companies called this style clock a “Regulator”. Modern day clock people call them “Store Regulators” or “Shop Clocks” because they usually hung in stores or shops. This particular model was a top of the line clock for Sessions, note all the designs around the case edge, the special designs on the top and base, and a more decorative pendulum. The 8-day movement is time only and also powers the calendar action. The label on the back says this clock is the “Regulator E” model. It definitely is not. I have learned a few things over the years but one thing is, they used whatever parts were handy as the clock went up the assembly line. This clock is all original and has only one flaw, a small wood piece is chipped of on the very bottom, right side. Ly-Sessions, #90. $150-$300.

Short drop wall regulator, or “Schoolhouse Clock” as most people call them. The consignor said this was a Sessions Clock Co. fancy school house clock. There is no label, not signed on the dial or movement except for the initials on the movement, “C D”. I cannot find this clock in any of Tran Duy Ly’s clock books. The initials “C D” are found in the “Identification Book of Foreign Clocks” as being a Swiss clock maker. So you be the judge of who made it. The 8-day time only movement is running, it has a nice original dial and hands, and you will have to admit the case is different and attractive. $50-$100.

E. Ingraham Clock Co. hanging clock, “Landau”, ca 1907. The solid oak case is 38 inches tall with a Mission Finish (Ingrahams words). The case appears to be all original and in very nice condition. It is clean and polished. The 8-day time only movement is running properly. The dial, hands, pendulum ball and stick are correct. The paper label remains on the back. The glasses still have good paint. Ly-Ingraham #393. $150-$250.

“Eight Day Clocks / Made and Sold By “Elisha Manross, Forestville, Conn.”, OG mantel clock, ca 1843. He worked with wood movement clocks for others until brass movements came about around 1840, then he got into the business with others then by himself in 1843. The two iron weights are heavier than the clock. There is a very good label, excellent painted metal dial, old and no doubt original hands, brass pendulum, and coil gong. The 8-day movement is not signed, is very clean and was running when we hauled the 125 early clocks out of the house. The rosewood veneered case is 29 inches tall, clean, has a door knob in front, and two original glasses.  $100-$150.

“E. N. Welch Mfg. co. / Forestville, Conn. U.S.A.”, eight-day weight driven brass movement in this OG case, ca 1864. Everything about this 29 ½ inch rosewood veneered case appears to be original or period. The painted metal dial is very nice with a little paint loss on the bottom right. Glasses, door latches, large iron weights, pendulum and winding crank all are period and probably original. I just noticed I failed to wipe off the hauling dust and bruises from the case edges. White areas will clean off. Inside is a complete paper label, coil gong, and the 8-day signed brass movement that is operational. Ly-Welch, pages 440-450. $100-$150.

“Union Manufacturing Co. Bristol, Conn.”, brass movement shelf clock, ca 1843. On the case back is an ink stamp that reads in part, “Gilbert & Parks”. Maybe a selling dealer, an address is also listed but I cannot read it all. The case appears to be maple or some other light-colored wood. The brass movement is unsigned, has two wafer weights, coil gong, wood dial, and brass pendulum. The dial has stretch marks. The movement is running and striking. Several other companies sold identical clocks with their labels. No one knows for sure if all were made by one company or several companies made them. $100-$200.
