“Congress Clock Comp.”, a German made steeple clock ca 1860-1880, copying American clocks of the same time period and was exported to England to compete with the American made Jerome clocks. The German companies tried to pass off their clocks as American made and in many cases they used the Eagle emblem to fool the buyers. Some eventually made their way to the USA. I found an identical steeple clock with the same label in an American collection, and other small shelf clocks by the Congress Clock Comp. The 14 inch high case appears to be made of mahogany or rosewood veneer and has some corner nicks on the base. It has a metal door latch, original glasses, and finials just like the American made steeples. It has a complete label, excellent painted metal dial, and old brass pendulum and a key. The 30 hour time only movement is running. $75-$150.

The movement should run 8 days for every clock in this 350 clock collection was running when brought to me. The brass sash is holding a beveled glass. Winds and sets on the back. Ly-New Haven #191. $75-$150.

“New Haven Clock Co., New Haven, Conn.”, miniature banjo clock, “Willis”, ca 1928.

Two big differences between #147 and this clock. This one is/was painted gold, and the porcelain dial shows the movement as being “12 days”. I don’t believe I have ever seen a 12 day movement marking before. Tran Duy Ly’s New Haven book does not show a 12 day movement on any banjo. It winds and sets on the back and is running. This clock has the same features as #147. $75-$150.
