“New Haven Clock Co., New Haven, Ct.”, miniature cottage clock,
ca 1857. Notice that this clock is almost identical to the Jerome clock No. 125. The labels are identical except the names. This period
1856-1857 was when New Haven took over operations of the giant Jerome company. This nice rosewood veneered case is 9 ¾ inches tall,
has gold around the door edge and it is wearing and has some loss. The glasses and door latch are original. I will let you mechanics
figure out why the 30 hour time and alarm movements wind differently. It is running and the alarm rings on a large iron bell. $100-$150.

“Jerome & Co., New Haven, Conn.”, cottage clock with a 30
hour time only movement, ca 1865. The mahogany case is 9 ¼ inches tall, has gold around the base, outer edge of the door, and around
the original glasses. The old metal dial is in good condition with a few chips, hands are correct, brass pendulum and key inside.
It has a complete label inside the case and an outside door latch. The label is good but the town name is obliterated. It does say,
“Gem Cottage / Time Piece”. This is perhaps one of the earliest of the 9 inch miniature cases. $50-$100.

“Waterbury Clock Co., Waterbury, Conn.”, cottage clock in a rosewood
case standing 9 ½ inches tall. The border around the door slopes inward. Ly-Waterbury does not show a flat
top cottage clock less than 11 inches tall. This case is super nice, good glasses, most of the label on the case back, original metal
dial with some finger rubs around the 6 to 8, good hands, old brass pendulum and key, and a 30 hour S. B. Terry time only movement.

“Waterbury Clock Company, Waterbury, Conn.”, miniature steeple
clock with a time and strike movement, ca 1875. This 15 inch high mahogany veneered case has not been restored as many others have.
There is some loose veneer and some veneer repairs. The glass is probably old and rebacked, door latch is original, painted metal
dial has some chipped places, coil gong on brass base, and old brass pendulum. The finials are very good and the case is complete
and original except where noted. The clock is running and performing as expected. $50-$100.

“Waterbury Clock Co., Waterbury, Conn.”, miniature steeple clock,
ca 1870. The 15 inch high mahogany veneered case is nice but has not been cleaned and restored like 99% of the clocks in this collection.
I believe both glasses may be original, so is the door latch, painted metal dial, and there is an old pendulum and iron bell inside.
There is a partial label on the back, and an alarm movement in the base of the case. The 30 hour movement is time, strike, and alarm,
and is running and striking hours on the bell as is the alarm. $75-$150.

still in good condition with no paint chips, darkening, etc. Amazingly the label is complete, has an old brass pendulum, hands are
replaced, and the 30 hour, time only, movement is running. $75-$150.

noticeable, has a brass door latch and two original glasses. The metal dial was repainted, hands could be original, brass pendulum
is period, coil gong and complete paper label in the bottom. The 30 hour movement is running and striking hours on the coil gong.
Ly-New Haven #1189. $75-$150.
135. $50
“Jerome & Co., New Haven, Conn.”, miniature steeple clock,
ca 1865. This one is 15 ½ inches tall and made of mahogany veneer and is very clean and polished. It has had a veneer repair on the
top. The collector did a professional job, looks great, but the patch veneer is slightly different than other veneer on the case.
I doubt most folks would even notice it. The metal dial is new, bottom tablet is surely a replacement, just too nice not to be, and
the label is new. It has the typical door knob/latch, coil gong and a 30 hour time and strike movement that is running and striking.
$75-$150.

clock, ca 1869.This one is rosewood veneered, stands 15 ¾ inches high, may have a tiny corner chip somewhere, has the typical brass

The painted metal dial is original, and nice, and the hands “appear” to be original. The label is complete, iron bell, brass pendulum
and old key. The 30 hour movement is running and the alarm rings on the iron bell. $75-$150.
