400 Day Anniversary Clock, ca 1926. Identical to the clock pictured
in Ly-Gustav Becker, page 149. This model has six large brass pillars with a dome over it. Polished and clean all over. Excellent
porcelain dial and hands. The dial is signed, “Made in Germany”. Movement is also clean and running. Without the glass dome in place
the clock is 15 ½ inches tall, with the dome it is 16 ½ inches tall. It is an unusually nice clock. Movement is signed with some initials
that I cannot decipher. The dome is cracked top to bottom in one place, no evidence it wants to come apart. I didn’t even notice it
until I was placing the clock on a shelf. $100-$200.

Poole Manufacturing Co., NY, battery operated electric clock,
“The Executive Model 5”, ca 1928. Morse Chain Company acquired the Poole Company in 1926 and operated until 1930, when manufacturing
ceased. The glass dome sets in a wood base and together they stand 10.5” high. The silver dial is signed, “Poole”, and, “Morse Chain
Co.”. In other places the case is signed, “Poole”. This clock is almost perfect, it is clean, and practically untouched anywhere.

“No-Key Clock Co. Wheeling, W.Va.”, small battery electric clock
under glass dome that can run 6 months on one battery, ca 1911. An Ohio man traded a coal mine for the company, moved it to Mt. Vernon,
Ohio, and bankrupt in 1913. Nice clean clock, all original, and was running when brought to us. See #256, a nearly identical clock.
$200-$300.

Bulle Electric Clock, ca 1920. It is 15 inches high including
the dome. Dome rests on a nice clean wood base. The movement is running strong as I type. If you do not understand how the clock functions
do as I did, Google “Bulle Clocks” and you will find more information that your brain will hold. I also learned that the Europeans
are very proud of the Bulle clocks, and know their value more than I as they had some for sale on EBay with minimum prices near $3000.
I believe the minute hand is missing on this clock otherwise very nice overall condition. $300-$500.

“Seth Thomas’ Sons & Company, New York, NY”, rare candle
stand clock, ca 1872. It is 11 inches tall and I will go way out on a limb and call it mint. You may find something wrong somewhere
but to be 150 years old it is mint. Perfect painted wood base, bright original gold paint on the stand, bright brass sash, perfect
porcelain dial and hands, signed dial, nickel bell, original pendulum, signed 8 day movement that strikes the bell on half hours and
hours. If you don’t like my call of “Mint” I will buy it back. It is a museum piece. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 1044. $400-$600.

“Bulle Electric Clock”, ca 1920. Another near perfect clock.
Painted wood base is super nice, nickel dial is excellent, is signed, hands are original. I cannot stop the clock from running without
removing the battery from underneath the base. Barely touch the clock and it starts running. With the original dome in place it stands
10 inches tall. They don’t come any nicer than this one. If the Bulle clocks listed on EBay means anything these Bulle clocks are
very valuable. $250-$500.

“No-Key Clock Co. Wheeling, W.Va.”, small battery electric clock
under glass dome that can run 6 months on one battery, ca 1911. An Ohio man traded a coal mine for the company, moved it to Mt. Vernon,
Ohio, and bankrupt in 1913. Nice clean clock, all original, and was running when brought to us. See #252, a nearly identical clock. $200-$300.

“Terry Clock Co. Waterbury, Conn.”, shelf clock, ca 1867-1880.
With dome in place the clock is about 10 ½ inches high, appears to be all original including the good dome. Silas Terry and his brothers
spiffed up this clock with paintings of water and mountains, on the iron base. The pendulum is also very unusual as are the cast designs
on the brass movement legs and makers name inscribed on an attached brass piece above the dial. The only negatives I see are hairlines
in the porcelain dial. I can only assume the movement is eight day because it has two springs but is time only. $300-$500.

“Imperial Clock Corp. Highland, IL”, electric gallery clock,
ca 1936-1960. The only others we have sold were in the January 2007 auction and they were made in Effingham, IL. Those two clocks
and this clock are almost identical except one of the 2007 clocks had a seconds dial. The dark wood case has maple inlaid decorations
and is 16 inches square. The first two had bowed glass over the dial, this one has flat glass. Movements in all 3 are identical, solid
plate with balance wheel platform escapement. It is reported that the clock will continue to run 24 hours during a current interruption.
$150-$300.
