“Jerome & Co., New Haven, Conn.”, miniature steeple clock, ca 1865. The rosewood veneered case is 15 ½ inches tall, metal door knob/latch, original glasses, complete label, original painted dial, brass pendulum, and a 30-hour time only movement that is running. An interesting case as the sides are a much lighter shade than the front and the base has the OG shape. The finials are perfect. $50-$100.

“Ansonia Brass And Copper Co., Ansonia, Conn.”, miniature steeple clock, ca 1869. The 14 ½ inch high mahogany ? veneered case has an unusual finish. I think it must have been very dark or smoky and was cleaned leaving the finish different than other clocks in this large collection. The door latch is correct, glasses original, painted metal dial is original, good complete paper label, brass pendulum and a 30-hour time only movement that is running. $50-$100.

“Sessions Clock Co., Forestville, Conn.”, steeple clock, ca 1932. This is their “Copley” model in a 15 ½ inch mahogany case, ivory colored artwork dial, tablet with ships painting, and most of a label on the back. The 8-day time and gong striking movement is running and striking hours and half hours. I am not a Session connoisseur, but it is nice. Ly-Sessions #612. $50-$100.

“Waterbury Clock Company, Waterbury, Conn.” miniature steeple clock, “Small Gothic”, ca 1881. Good 15-inch-high mahogany veneered case has been cleaned and polished. You do understand that these days there is polish we use that takes the smoke and other pollutants off the wood in one wipe. It has original door latch, original glasses, complete label, old pendulum and key, and original but repainted dial. The movement is 30-hour time only and is running. Ly-Waterbury # 1485. $50-$100.

Waterbury Clock Co., Waterbury, Conn.”, miniature steeple clock, ca 1881. Like some others already listed this is their “Small Gothic” model, stands 15 inches tall in a rosewood veneered case, original finials (left finial just a tad shorter than the right one), original door latch and original glasses. The portrait of the young lady has been rebacked. Dial has been repainted, complete label, 30-hour time only movement, and a separate alarm movement and bell. It is running and has an old pendulum and “SIGNED Waterbury key”. Ly-Waterbury #1485. $50-$100.

 

495.           $50

“Atkins Clock Co., Bristol, Conn.”, fairly common “round top” model shelf clock, ca 1873. The rosewood case is 15 inches tall. It was said to have a “gold foil tablet”. I am not sure if this tablet is even original, much less gold foil. I do know it has been rebacked with new black paint. It has the typical key locking front door, original dial that is dirty and slightly worn but all there. Hands probably are replacements, has an old pendulum bob and key. The 8-day movement is running and striking a coil gong each hour. “The Clocks of Irenus Atkins”, by Gregory & King, page 87. $75-$150.

496.           $25

“The E. N. Welch Manufacturing Co., Forestville, Conn.”, miniature cottage clock, “Rose Gilt”, ca 1869. The rosewood veneered case is only 9 ¼ inches tall, has been cleaned, polished, and the gilt around the glasses restored also. I believe the tablet is a replacement, door latch intact, good label inside, original painted dial is still very good to be almost 150 years old. The one-day movement is running, has an alarm that rings on an iron bell. Ly-Welch #393. $50-$100.
