Waterbury Clock Co. hanging “Regulator No. 4, Rosedale”, ca 1881. This is a great clock, with one problem, the top is a replacement, but someone did an outstanding job. If the back were darkened and the peg holes were darkened it might fool me. I believe every No. 4 I have ever seen had a missing or a new top. The dark oak case is 51” tall, and has a bushel of style points. Note the spool rail on top, full turned columns, sloping decorative bottom, and the stylish bottom board. The case is original, (other than the top) lightly cleaned but still has some light crazing and smoke in the grooves and cracks.  There was originally a key lock on the door, now replaced with a turn latch. Porcelain beat scale, brass bob, wood stick, and the three hands, all look to us to be correct. The dial has no problems other than normal wear and the pair of brass weights appears to be original. The movement is 8 day, double wind; time only, has dead beat escapement, retaining power, and solid polished movement frames. Ly-Waterbury #524. $1000-$1500.

Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Co. “Regulator No.14”, ca 1901. This is a large clock, 50” tall, made of oak and is really a well constructed clock with good cabinet work, applied ornaments, ripple moldings, some OG type moldings, some fine jig saw work, and pressed or carved objects top to bottom. The wood has been routinely cleaned and polished, and has gracefully aged to a medium dark shade. There is evidence of crazing all over, and dark in the grooves and edges, meaning it has not been harshly cleaned as much as just polished over the years. The original 8 day time only movement is running, powered by one weight, and has dead beat escapement and retaining power. The large weight and old dial we believe to be original. The dial is signed and has darkened over time. The hands, brass bob, wood stick, and beat scale, all appear to be original to this clock. The backboard inside is painted black which shows off the bob and weight more clearly. On the back is a complete paper label. Ly-Gilbert #359. $1000-$1500.

Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Co. “Regulator No.2”, ca 1875. This is an early weight regulator with some very minor problems. It is one I would love to have bought when I first started collecting. It needs some attention, but can easily be made into a fine clock. There has been a few veneer repairs, and they were well done. I probably would not bother with changing any veneer. The 33.5” high mahogany case is clean and has been lightly polished to cover up damage done when the weight fell at least one time. Nails or screws were used to put it back together, holes filled, stained over, and really not even noticeable unless you have a habit like me, checking to see if a weight has fallen. There is a label on the back, the lower glass is very nice, the baffle board is near perfect, and the pendulum and stick are very good. Typical Gilbert 8 day time only movement was running fine when it left the collectors home. He brought it with the weight inside and in removing it the weight pulley and cord got unhooked from the movement. You will have to take care of that. The dial is soiled and has some paint loss from finger rubbing. If it was in excellent condition it might bring 2-3 times our minimum. Ly-Gilbert #336. $900-$1200.

 “Seth Thomas, Plymouth, Conn. U.S.A.”, signed on the 30 hour weight movement. “Seth Thomas, Thomaston, Conn.” on the complete paper label.  This is a pretty rare clock because it is a crossover from Plymouth to Thomaston made just after the Civil War, ca 1866. It is 25 inches tall with shell columns and gilt caps. It has some minor veneer problems on the base and top, mirror is a replacement, and dial has been cleaned and paint enhanced. All that aside it is a nice looking very early clock. Complete with  old key and pendulum. Ly-Seth Thomas, pages 521-523. $50-$100.

 E. Ingraham Co. hanging short drop clock, “Lustre”, ca 1911. Another near perfect short drop with only one little change from original, a new paper dial. The original hook/latch holds the brass sash and the bottom door is held with a hook on the side. Clean oak case is 27” tall, has the original side ears, two original glasses, correct hands and the new signed paper dial. It has a brass pendulum bob, and the 8 day time only movement. It is clean and running. Ly-Ingraham #374. $75-$150.

Ansonia Clock Co. enameled iron clock, “Boston”, ca 1904. The base is 15 inches wide, has two columns on each side of the dial and a correct metal back cover. Other than the columns with ornate capitals and bases this is a rather plain case. There is one tiny chip in the beveled glass, the porcelain dial is excellent and the hands are correct. The 8 day time and striking movement is signed, running, and striking properly. It strikes half hours and hours on a gong. It has the correct style pendulum and key. Ly-Ansonia #1271.   $100-$200.

388.           $70

French white marble cased clock with a “Japy Freres” round 8 day movement. It has a beveled glass in the brass sash, two toned marble dial, incised numerals that are gold filled, and correct original hands. On the back is a hinged brass cover over the movement opening. The pendulum is signed, “THFBLE”, or something close to that. Very unusual to see a signed pendulum. I added a picture of the movement to show you what I believe is something very unusual, and something I have never seen on another movement. Probably something very simple. It is the long metal piece that is attached at the bottom of the movement and extends upwards. It is signed, “Flourdelet.B?SG?”, or something close to that. It is running and striking properly.  $100-$200.

French clock, more elaborate than the normal French clocks we get, but not without its problems. The brass/bronze clock tower and side statue are mounted to a marble base. The base is resting on large round brass feet. On the back is a hinged sash with a bowed glass over the movement opening. On the front is a beveled glass in the brass sash. The black marble dial in this example is outstanding with deep incised numerals that are gold filled. On the top of the clocks are some books, one is opened. The hunter with his gun is holding a bird I assume he just killed. Great clock with only one problem, the ornament on the right side of the clock is missing. This piece is 14 inches wide and 14 ½ inches tall. The pendulum is correct, the 8 day movement is signed, “Japy Freres” and “Blot aLRouard”, and it is running and striking the nickel bell attached to the back of the movement. $150-$250.
