Waterbury Clock Company hanging gallery clock, “Round Lever”,
ca 1914. The 12 inch mahogany case is original including the 100 year old crusty finish. I assume it is not financially feasible
to clean the crusty finish. It has a nice brass bezel, signed dial, and probably 3 original hands. On the back is a complete paper
label. That is unusual. It has an 8 day time only movement with seconds dial. It is running. Ly-Waterbury #650. $50-$100.

German gallery clock, round bezel, octagon base, door opening

whistle. Brass bezel, original hands, perfect painted dial, hinged door with clip lock on the bottom. It has an 8 day time and strike
movement that is running and striking on a large coil gong. Lots of writing on the back, dates, names, etc. $50-$100.

German, Oswald Genie, an extremely rare carved wood clock, not
composition as so many of the later ones are. The Oswald sticker is underneath. This model original had a wood tray held in the Genie’s
outstretched hands. The collector who sells Genie clocks thru our auctions says the wood trays are available on EBay, and unfortunately
you cannot tell if they are original or not. The excellent carved case is 8 inches high, clean and complete. The Oswald clocks have
30 hour movements that wind and set on the back. The movement is running and the eyes are rotating properly. The rotation of the left
eye shows the hour, the right eye the minutes. $500-$750.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. one of their College Series clocks, “New
York”, ca 1900. This is a very rare model made only for railroads, hotels, and schools. It took a special order to have them made.
The idea was they were non striking alarm clocks. It has a special movement and a leaver on the top to keep it silent and to make
it an alarm. It is a very quiet running clock. A very nice near mint original oak case, standing 23.5” high, has all its original
parts, no repairs or alterations. This clock has the correct pendulum bob and hanger, Cathedral gong, alarm and alarm bell, label
inside, and a signed 8 day movement. It has an oak wood plate to hold the fancy brass ring around the dial. It is in excellent running
condition. Ly-Seth Thomas #2263. $150-$250.
365. $150
German wall clock, ca 1920’s. This is a very heavy oak cased
clock, 37” high, balcony type with a fancy brass pendulum. The pendulum is hanging low to show in the picture. The front of the case
has columns and carved objects on the base. The wood has some carving and grooved designs over the front. The movement is attached
to a slide in seat board. It is in very good overall condition, and in running condition. The movement is 8 day and strikes a large
iron coil gong. The movement is signed only, “Patent /154590”. The large pendulum is signed but I cannot decide the maker because
a couple of letters are obscured. $150-$250.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. wall clock, “World”, ca 1890. Factory numbers
stamped on the back of the case, “0981”, which backward is 1890, the date of manufacture. The nice walnut case is 32” long, has been
cleaned and polished revealing a beautifully grained wood. Brass bob, wood stick, both glasses, hands, two door latches, and the movement,
are all original to this case and in excellent condition. The paper dial is a replacement. Printed on the bottom of the dial is “Thirty
Day Clock”. Not true, the movement runs 15 days, and many times longer. We never know if these movements are 15 days or 30 days without
running them until they quit. We are always pleasantly surprised when we find they run 30 days. Most of a black label is inside as
well as a metal beat scale. Next to the Seth Thomas No.2 Regulators, we consider this long drop model to be one of the company’s crowning
achievements in clock making. They are extremely reliable and a good size for any room in your home. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 323. $200-$350.
367. $75
German RA, has a lot of pizzazz, large detachable top with 3 identical
finials, and 3 finials on the base. It has very attractive columns on the door, three glasses, and wall levelers. This 8 day movement
strikes half hours and hours on a coil gong attached to the back of the movement. It is stamped with the Junghans logo. It has a very
nice two piece porcelain dial, and a nice pressed brass pendulum. The walnut case is 38 inches high, decorative half columns each
side of the door, viewing doors on the case sides, and a top piece that fits in one slot. The movement is clean and running strong.
$100-$200.

Sessions Clock Company, Bristol, Conn., metal cased mantel clock,
“Diana”, ca 1910. For Sessions this is a large metal clock, 17 inches high and originally with a bronze finish, now dark but still
a nice looking clock. The dial paper was replaced, hands look to be correct, has a brass bezel with flat glass, and a pendulum and
key. Not sure if the pendulum is original. Ly-Sessions #423. $100-$150.
369. $450
French brass cased carriage clock, ca 1870, time, strike, repeat,
and alarm in a finely engraved case with center seconds hand. The alarm hand is off, now taped to the top glass. The 6 ¾ inch high
case is loose. I am guessing one or more new beveled glasses were installed and case was not tightened by screws underneath the base.
Neither the dial nor 8 day movement is signed. The movement is sluggish, runs a bit and stops. All five beveled glasses are perfect,
top of case is full beveled glass. The hinged back door is not tight, probably because case not tightened from underneath. $750-$1000.
