Clocks 390-399

390.           $50

Boat or Engine Room clock originally made by the Chelsea Clock Co.  It was a WWII wartime clock no doubt used on the US Navy’s ships. The brass dial is signed, “Chelsea   Recessed numerals and minute marks are black filled and the paint and dial face are excellent. It is time only movement winding above the 6, slow/fast adjuster below the 12. Screw off bezel seals the dial and movement from moisture. The dial is 5.5”, the top bezel is 7.25”. The brass case has a very nice bright finish. It is made to mount to a wall with 3 screws. I bought it to be a true Chelsea, have been told since it is a reproduction. Even though a nice one. $100-$200.

391.           $125

International Time Recorder Co. of New York, the forerunner of the IBM clock. The 58 inch high oak case is all original, including the glass, 12” metal dial, 8” brass pendulum bob, wood stick, brass beat scale and all the internal program parts. There are two key door locks. The movement is self winding via the original electric motor. When connected a slave clock works perfectly with electric impulses from the master clock. The painted dial is signed as are many of the internal program parts. Around the dial is a wood dial ring. There is very little wear on the dial. It has a pair of good hands and a second’s hand. The case may have been lightly cleaned and polished, and appears to have a coat of shellac or similar finish. The movements have been used recently and may now be in running condition but I don’t test electric clocks. $150-$200.

392.           $75

“New Haven Clock Co., New Haven, Conn.”, 8 day time and strike banjo clock, ca 1910.  The mahogany case with eagle on top is 36 inches tall, missing the side rails, but appears complete otherwise. The metal dial is showing slight wear on the silver, the hands and pendulum are correct, and the glasses are very nice. There is a complete label on the back but it does not show a model name and I cannot identify the model in Ly-New Haven. It certainly is not a cream puff, but surely worth our minimum. $75- $150.

393.           $50

American/German, clock-barometer, made by, “P.F. Bollenbach Co.”, which was apparently a company located in Barrington, Illinois that bought movements from Germany and put them in cases they made. I found very little information about the Bollenbach Co. but a lot of their clocks for sale at times on EBay. This large wall piece is about 40 inches tall, the eight day time only clock is running and the other primary functions, barometer and thermometer are performing. $50-$100.

“The Standard Electric Time Co. / Springfield, Mass.”, painted on the 12 inch dial of this gallery clock. The case is very heavy, has a battery movement covered with an aluminum cover. I do not know if it runs, my sparse clock knowledge does not extend to electric clocks. $25-$50.
