“Waltham Watch & Clock Company, Waltham, Mass.” half size
mahogany banjo clock, stands 21 inches high, with “Washington – Mt. Vernon” glasses, carved acorn on top, and brass side rails. The
ivory painted dial has Arabic figures, is signed and has original hands. The clock overall is in excellent condition, the only demerit
would be for some tiny paint flakes on both glasses. The movement runs 8 days and is time only. A very nice miniature banjo, and it
is running. Ly-American Clocks, Volume 1, page248; and Volume 2, page 320. $250-$400.

Wall clock powered by one D battery. I did not disassemble the
dial from movement to check for maker but there are no names showing. The clock is attached to a marble slab 16 ½ by 8 ¼ inches. The
wood box covers the clock and attaches to the marble. It is extremely heavy. I did not hang the clock nor did I attempt to get it
to run, frankly I am not real sure how the pendulum moves. Knowing the collector who had this clock I feel confident it is complete
and will run. $200-$500.
242. $250
Austrian one weight, time only Vienna, ca 1848. The single wind
brass movement is unsigned, but the dial is signed, “Jolef Schmied / Wien”. It runs 8 days, movement is bright and clean and the brass
weight, dial rings, wall levelers, and other parts are also clean and polished. The movement attaches to a mounting bracket. The clock
is complete with a brass bob, wood stick, porcelain beat scale (with damage), 3 good glasses, and a door hook. The two piece porcelain
dial is very nice and there is a pair of early Vienna hands. The beautiful walnut case is 38 inches high, has three glasses, grooved
columns on the door with carved capitals and bases, three finials on the base, and a cast eagle on top. The top piece has been put
in new holes but I do believe it is original to the case. $300-$500.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. ships bell clock, “Monitor”. Not sure of
the date this clock was made for they made them from 1884 thru the 1930’s. This is a brass cased clock, most I have seen were nickel
plated. It is 10 ½ inches high, good case, clean and polished, hinged bezel, bell on the base attached to a wood support that is an
extension of the clock back. Good silver dial is signed and has three correct hands. The 8 day movement is running and striking ships
bells on half hours. Factory lettering on the back is, “7 F”. Ly-Seth Thomas, pages 755-758. $200-$350.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. Locomotive or Chronometer, or something
else, I can never be sure with these ships clocks. It does not want to run but strikes ships bells on the half hours. It is a nice
clean, polished, brass case, 4 inches high, 7 inches across the bezel. The silver dial is signed, very nice and clean, and the three
hands look to be original. The bezel is hinged on the right side, has a clip type latch on the left side. Not sure if 30 hour or 8
day since I cannot get it running. $100-$200.
245. $50
“Junghans / Made in Germany”, miniature shelf clock with a music
box. It is 13 inches tall, very dark, wood never cleaned, missing one top finial. Hinged back door with key on the back gives access
to the one day time and alarm movement. Music box below the silver movement is set by the alarm dial. I did not attempt to play the
music but it looks to be complete. $50-$100.

“Briggs Rotary Pendulum Clock, a Horolovar Reproduction”, signed
on the top plate of the movement. The clock has to be new, or near new, it is just to original and nice, clean and shining. Of course,
it has had the glass dome over the movement since bought new. Wood base, metal feet, large movement winder underneath, perfect dial
is signed, “Made In Germany”, and a well made reproduction of the early Briggs/Welch rotary pendulum clocks. Everything in mint condition
and comes with the original glass dome. With the dome in place it is about 7.5” high. $200-$300.
248. $250
Briggs Rotary novelty timepiece, unsigned but made by either
George W. Brown or Welch Mfg. Co., Forestville, Conn., ca 1878. With the original glass dome in place it is almost 7 inches tall.
The clock was probably cleaned a little but to me looks like a 140 year old clock should look. The dial is slightly worn/faded, brass
is not real shiny but is not dirty either. The wood base is clean. It has all original parts, the 30 hour movement winds underneath,
and is running. Ly-Welch, page 245. $300-$500.
