“Ansonia Brass And Copper Co., Ansonia, Conn.”, miniature steeple clock, ca 1869. The 14 ½ inch high mahogany ? veneered case has an unusual finish. I think it must have been very dark or smoky and was cleaned leaving the finish different than other clocks in this large collection. The door latch is correct, glasses original, painted metal dial is original, good complete paper label, brass pendulum and a 30 hour time only movement that is running. $50-$100.

173.           $50

“Jerome & Co., New Haven, Conn.”, miniature steeple clock, ca 1865. This one is not as tall as #172, it is only 14 ¾ inches. It is like #170 above, sides lighter than front. I think it is rosewood, not sure. It has the original door latch, original glasses, original painted metal dial, hands – not sure if original. Good label, brass pendulum, iron bell, and a 30 hour time and alarm movement that is running. Case is good but I see small chips on the base, but miniscule. $75-$150.

“Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Conn.”, hanging clock, “Drop Octagon 12 Inch”, ca 1880. These short drop clocks were very popular in the late 1800’s and up to the 2nd World War. They were well made of various woods, this one is walnut and it stands about 24 inches high. It was my first clock and will be my last. They are very dependable, almost never need service, I have not oiled mine in the 45 years I have owned it. The 8 day time only movements just keep on running, keeping excellent time, no chimes to wake everyone up at night, and have a quite tick. There is a complete label inside, original pendulum, painted dial, correct hands and glasses. They just don’t get any better than a ST short drop. Ly-Seth Thomas, pages 356-357. $75-$150.

175.           $150

E. Ingraham Clock Co. “Western Union”, ca 1911.  Both glasses appear to be original and the paint is holding very well. The oak case is 36” high, clean and polished with pressed designs on the top and base. We bought it with a collection of excellent clocks from a retired executive collector. All his clocks will be in this auction, few have any apologies. Unfortunately the top glass was broken enroute to me. You can order replacement glasses from Timesavers. The original dial is signed, now slightly faded and worn and it has correct hands, and original brass bob on a wood stick. The movement is 8 day, time and calendar, and it is running. There is a label on the back.  Ly-Ingraham #377. $200-$300.

 

176.           $100

Waterbury Clock Co. “Crane”, ca 1906. Usually called just a shop clock or store regulator by clock collector’s, this one is all original but darkened over the original now crusty finish. Many of you like clocks that are all original no matter how dark or untouched. Well, here it is, complete (except for the top) and 100% original including a complete paper label inside and two on the back. Old dial, hands, Waterbury pendulum, and pendulum stick. The oak case should be 37” high but is now missing the top. Crowns and bases for store regulators can be ordered from Timesavers. It is 8 day, time only and running. I forgot to hang the pendulum when we had to reshoot this clock – sorry.  Ly-Waterbury #726. $100-$200.

Part of the paper label remains on the back. Ly-Ingraham #274. $150-$250.

E. Ingraham Clock Co. short drop wall clock, “Drop Octagon”, ca 1911.
