Ansonia Clock Co. miniature cottage clock. I am going to guess that the 10 inch high case was made partly with rosewood and partly with other woods, maybe oak, not sure. The glass looks like it came in the case but the gold edging may have been added at some time, the glass is just too nice to be over 100 years old. The paper dial is a replacement, same with the hands, pendulum and key. It has a round one day, time only movement. $50-$100.

Wood parts are all original and the case has good ascetics and is pleasing to the eye. Simple designed case has grooves around the case edge and some inverted circles and large ornament around the top. There is a door knob/latch on the door and a replacement glass. The movement is 8 day, spring driven, signed, running, and striking a Cathedral wire gong. There is also an alarm movement, and it also rings on the Cathedral gong. The paper dial is signed two places, has replaced hands, and nickel dial rings. The brass pendulum is typical for this model and the clock’s age.

“Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Conn.”, one of the first of a long line of City Series clocks made by ST, the “Chicago”, ca 1874. This clock was one of the last clocks acquired by the collector who consigned this wonderful 350 clock collection. We sold, or offered, half of the collection in January 2018, and the rest of the collection in this auction. It is very east to see what he required when he bought a clock to restore. It had to have an excellent label and the case had to be original and complete.  If he put a clock on his shelf in his office for all to see, you can bet it was mint perfect. That does not mean it is all original mint perfect, just that he may have had a glass painted, put new gilt on the columns, painted the dial, or whatever else it needed to make it perfect. It does not appear he cleaned this case, and I don’t blame him for it looks great like it is. We have sold many Chicago models over the years for they continue to be desirable to display in a home. The Chicago was one of the first clocks I acquired 45 years ago, and I still have it on a bedroom dresser. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 188. $200-$300.

“New Haven Clock Co., New Haven, Conn.”, mantel clock, “Gothic Gem”, ca 1878. There is a complete label inside but has faded so much I cannot read it, or have no wish to take the time. Interestingly someone took a label from a kitchen clock named, “Ivy”, and pasted it on the back of the door glass. Otherwise this clock is all original in a nice mahogany veneered case standing 17 ¾ inches tall, has two nice original glasses, door latch, original paint on metal dial, coil gong, pendulum, etc. The movement runs 8 days and strikes the gong hourly. It is what it is, an old shelf clock. Ly-New Haven #1158. $100-$200.

“Ansonia Brass Co., Ansonia, Conn.,” early shelf clock made by the Ansonia Brass & Battery Co., ca 1854. Only a few clocks were made with this label but they did make movements and sold to other clock makers. The only clock pictured in Ly-Ansonia that is close to this clock is the “Peking” which Ansonia Clock Co. made in the 1880’s. This clock is mahogany veneered, stands 18 inches tall, has gold columns, two round original glasses, a door latch, and a complete label inside. The 8 day movement is running and striking a coil gong, there is an original painted metal dial, and pendulum and key. Ly-Ansonia, pages 438-439. $100-$200.

“Brewster & Ingrahams, / Bristol, Conn.”, four column steeple with 8 day movement that has ribbed plates, ca 1850. The 19” case was made with walnut veneer and has four full turned columns and four finials.  Other than a few chip repairs the veneer looks good. The case was restored, and tiny chip repairs were made all over. The door frame slopes inward toward the two glasses. The tablet appears to be a replacement, the top glass is old. In the door was probably an ivory escutcheon and lock. I cannot swear to it but the escutcheon and lock may have been replaced by a knob and latch with expert repairs to cover it up. The old dial was repainted, hands are new, and there is a brass pendulum and key. Inside is a paper label, coil gong, and the signed brass movement.  There are several overpasted labels of repair shops dating back to late 1800 early 1900’s that cover the bottom of the Brewster & Ingraham label. The clock and movement are pictured and described in the booklet by Ultsch and Cowan, “Handbook of Clocks Produced by Charles Kirk, Elisha C. Brewster, and Brewster & Ingrahams, at Bristol, Connecticut, 1828-1852”, page 54. $300-$500.
