E. N. Welch Mfg. Co. mantel clock, “Round Gothic”, commonly called a “Beehive”, ca 1889. This style case with the plain flat base is not pictured in the catalogs and was introduced about the time of Elisha Welch’s death. This mahogany veneered case is almost 19” tall, has a few small chips and some scrapes. Old painted tablet in the bottom has been rebacked, not sure if original to the case. New glass in the top. Original metal dial is faded and dirty, hands were replaced, and pendulum you can never be sure about.  There is a complete paper label, coil gong on which the hours are struck. The 8-day time and striking movement is running. Ly-Welch, pages 175-177. $75-$150.

Lenzkirsch RA wall clock, ca 1880. Walnut case is 40 inches tall, has some carvings, etchings, fancy columns, and finials top and bottom.

The hands are fancy, bob is brass and nickel, and an old key is included. The brass 8-day movement is mounted to a brass backboard mounting bracket. A coil gong is mounted to the same bracket. The movement is signed. If you like German RA clocks, you should keep this one.

Ansonia Clock Co. hanging clock, “Regulator A”, ca 1906. This is a very fine-looking black walnut case, standing 32” high with very few nicks or scrapes. Old dial pan with the dial repainted. It has the original hands, pendulum, stick, top glass and bezel. The bottom glass is probably a replacement. The backboard inside is covered with slick black paper and a label, also black paper. I believe the movement and other parts are original to the case. The 8-day movement is signed, running, and strikes a coil gong. Ly-Ansonia #660. $150-$300.

Waterbury Clock Co mantel clock. A very nice-looking walnut case that stands just under 29-inches tall, plain case but with a finial on top and a metal ornament of some goddess. The dial has had some paint problems and the artist recreated part of the name “Waterbury Clock Co.” and filled in other paint chips. I became suspicious that the name had been altered but after checking the 8-day time and strike movement I see that it is original to the case and it is signed by Waterbury Clock Co. It is running and striking a nickel bell. There is a nice nickel pendulum with wood stick. The case has been refinished/cleaned/polished. $150-$300.

E. Ingraham Clock Co. oak kitchen clock with a simple calendar, “Gila”, ca 1915. Now you see the difference between a parlor and kitchen clock. This pressed oak case, one of Ingraham’s “River Line” series of six clocks named for rivers, is 23” high, cleaned and is original. (Do you know where the Gila River is? Indian territory in Arizona) The glass, like most all in this fine collection, is original and still very bold and bright. We believe the signed paper dial is original, and is very dark. The movement is 8-day, striking a Cathedral gong on half hours, is running and the calendar is changing. I was about to say that Ingraham did not use hands of this style, but I notice they did use them on the kitchen style calendar clocks. There is not enough paper label on the back to spit at and so dark I cannot read what is there. Ly-Ingraham #1048. $100-$200.

E. Ingraham Clock Co. oak kitchen clock, “Puritan”, ca 1915. Ingraham was big on producing groups of clocks, they called them “Lines”, “State Line”, “Flower Line”, “River Line”, “Lake Line”, etc. This clock was in their spiritual line. I expect about this time the clock business was changing and they were praying for a miracle. The pressed designs and applied pressed ornaments cover the case. It is not a bad looking case, but one joining the other company’s cheap line of clocks. It is 24 inches high, complete, clean, and polished. The movement is running and striking a coil gong on the hours and half hours. It has a separate alarm movement that rings a bell. Ly-Ingraham #1026. $75-$150.

E. Ingraham Clock Co. oak kitchen clock, “Oneida”, ca 1915. This clock was 1 of 6 in their “Lake Line”, along with 5 others Lake clocks I have never heard of. They all sound like Indian names. The oak case is 22 inches tall, original, clean but dark, and polished.  The glass, dial, pendulum, gong, etc. are all correct. There is most of a label on the back. The 8-day movement is running and striking a coil gong on hours and half hours. Ly-Ingraham #1049. $75-$150.

Waterbury Clock Company elaborate walnut cased clock, “China”, ca 1881. China is not the name I would have placed on a beautiful wooden mantel clock. From the delicate urn top to the drawer in the base there are fancifully carved ears, ornaments, and other unusual case parts. The clean walnut case is 25 inches high and seemingly all original. The door glass is original, as are the metal ornaments on the top and base and the special metal sash around the dial, that looks identical to the one Ansonia used on a very few of their better clocks. The dial is original and has minor paint chips around one winding arbor. The movement is 8-day, signed, clean, running, and striking half hours on the brass bell. This model (Waterbury and Ansonia) has always been popular with clock collectors.     Ly-Waterbury, #1538. $300-$500.
