Seth Thomas “Regulator No. 6” ca. 1880. A walnut case with a more recent finish. The
trim is nickel including a damascened pendulum bob; the weight is nickel but is not Seth Thomas issue, and has lost some finish. There is a nice beat scale and a good label on the bottom. The hands are correct and the dial is an old repaint; the door glass
is newer. The front of the base appears to be grain-painted over partial veneer but looks great and is evident only upon close
inspection. The 8-day time-only movement is signed and running, keeping time. $1900-$2500.
507. $1150
E. Howard Regulator No. 10 reissue, 1976. You just can’t go wrong with these reissued regulators. The 34-inch black walnut case is perfect, the glasses perfect, the dial perfect. The signed movement (#283, manufactured in
July of 1976) is running without issue. There is a framed certificate to go with it. What’s not to like? We
sold one last summer for $1470, and one in 2015 for $1550. $1200-$1500.
508. $275
Ansonia “Symbol Extra”, ca. 1894. A 15-inch crystal regulator with three beveled glasses in
perfect condition, a fancy dial surround and a fancy pendulum. The 8-day time-and-half-hour strike movement with an outside
escapement is running without issue. The inner porcelain dial shows a couple of faint hairlines and the brass case could use
a buffing. The base-mounted cathedral gong has a nice sound. The clock matches the catalog illustration shown on page
108 of Ly’s book on Ansonia clocks. Several of this model have sold on eBay recently, averaging $300. $275-$400.
509. $800
Waterbury “Regulator No. 3”, ca. 1891. A clean 46-inch walnut case with old glass in the door
and a clean painted 8-inch metal dial with a nice Waterbury logo. The hands are fancy Waterbury hands, the pendulum bob Waterbury
issue. The weights are not correct but are sufficient to drive the signed 8-day, time-only, double-weight movement (shown on
page 189 of Ly’s book on Waterbury clocks). There is a seconds hand and four matching finials that look about right; there is
a nice label on the back. The clock is running and keeping time. This is a pretty clock that is quite presentable and
won’t be banished to your workshop. We sold a cherry-cased No. 3 in 2016 for $928. $900-$1200.
510. $35
Ingraham “Jasper”, ca. 1886. A clean walnut case with a good original glass showing little
wear and matching the catalog illustration (page 279 of Ly’s book on Ingraham clocks). The paper dial shows considerable toning
and wear; the hands are correct. This is a 1-day time-and-strike model that is running strongly. The movement is signed
and there are the remains of a label on the back. $50-$100.
511. $35
E.N. Welch “Cottage Extra”, ca. 1880. A 13-inch case with rosewood veneer, missing
a small piece on the door and in need of cleaning. Both glasses old, lower rebacked. The metal dial is probably original,
faded, and with a repair label under the XII. The 30-hour time-and-strike movement is running and striking.
512. $275
Ansonia Brass & Copper Co. “Octagon Drop”, 1870-1877. Terry’s Patent Calendar is
more commonly found in the Drop Extra Calendar, and in fact there are no sales examples in the Antique Clocks Price Guide for this
model. Nonetheless, it is the first calendar clock shown in Ly’s book on Ansonia clocks, on page 68. The Brass & Copper
Co. was succeeded by the Ansonia Clock Co. The calendar mechanism includes the month in a window under the XII on the dial,
with a brass pointer hand to indicate the day of the month on the dial. The case is 24 inches tall with good rosewood veneer
on the dial surround; the dial appears to hold the original paint with the lettering “TERRY’S PATENT” “Manufactured by the Ansonia
Brass & Copper Co. Ansonia, Conn” below the mainstem. There is some chipping to the dial paint around the mainstem and lower
left. The lower door glass is original and the dial glass is old but may not be original. The unsigned 8-day, time-and-strike
movement is running and striking a wire gong on the hour, and the calendar hand is advancing. There is a very nice label inside. $275-$350.
513. $100
Seth Thomas “Chime Clock No. 96”, 1928. This small chime cabinet clock (10.5” tall) strikes
Westminster chimes on quarter hours on 4 rods and the hours on a fifth rod. It sounds great when you advance the minute hand,
but the movement is not running and will need some attention to get it going. The “Old English” cabinet has some nice marquetery
on the front, with two fluted quarter columns on each side. The case is in good shape with only minor blemishes and wear. The handle is missing from the door in back. There is a good label on the inside of the door. The brushed silver dial
with bronze numerals shows remarkably little wear; it sits behind a convex glass in a brass bezel. I can’t find a sales record
for this model; we estimate $100-$250.
514. $50
Ansonia “Calais”, ca. 1904. An iron case, 13.5 inches tall. You almost always see
this in glossy black and the catalog does not describe a textured finish in any other color, as found here; I think it has been repainted,
but I don’t know if the textured finish is original. All the fittings and the porcelain dial are correct to the Calais. There is a beveled glass in the American sash. The 8-day time-and half-hour strike signed movement is running and striking. $50-$100.
515. $75
Seth Thomas “Cornell”, ca. 1900. One of the six “College Series” clocks that featured
intricate carvings and layered wood trim pieces, in walnut. This one stands 23 inches tall with an old finish, a signed paper
dial with an alarm, correct hands and an old glass. The 8-day signed movement strikes on the hour and half-hour on a “wire bell”
and is running and striking. We didn’t test the alarm. There is a good label inside on the bottom, and an instruction
label on the back. The Seth Thomas pendulum bob has been repainted. $75-$150.
