Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. “No. 10 Farmer’s”, shelf calendar clock, ca 1874. It is original, clean, and in a 25-inch-high walnut case. Original backboard has a large label of instructions, original brass pendulum bob with special hanger, and original glasses. On the back of the front door is another label of instructions. Both dials are slightly soiled and have been on the movements a pretty long time, original? Not sure. They are paper so easily replaced as most all Ithaca dial papers have been replaced, some several times. You can order new dials or any Ithaca replacement parts from Joel Warren, Ithaca, NY. This clock is all original and can be easily improved if you choose to install new dials.  The 8-day movement and the calendar movement are dirty, but functioning properly at this time. It strikes hours on a coil gong. Ly-Calendar #347. $300-$500.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. hanging clock, “Office No. 1”, ca 1874. The mahogany case is25 inches tall, all original including the 150-year finish. Has evidently not been cleaned but has had varnish or some such applied over the years. It looks fine, just a little dark. If the clock ever had veneer I cannot tell it for there are no chips even tiny ones. The dial pan is a replacement, otherwise it is all original. The perfect bottom glass is identical to the one pictured in this clock in Ly-Seth Thomas #1060. The 8-day time only movement is running. It has a complete paper label. $75-$150.

764.           $100

“La Vedette / France”, wall clock, ca 1936. I say 1936 only because in the case is a postcard dated 1936, and a picture of the dealer from which it was purchased in France. The label of instructions was also plastic wrapped inside the case, but is written in French. The art deco style case is 27 inches tall and made of a wood the shade of walnut but the graining does not look like walnut. Note the very nice carvings at the top and middle of the case. The top glass is slightly bowed, the bottom is beveled, both are original. Silver dial, hands, silver pendulum, and silver beat scale are all excellent. The movement is 8-day, time and strike with Westminster chimes, and is running. $150-$300.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. oak mantel clock, “Giant No. 2”, ca 1904. The case is 25” tall, complete and all original. This case has been cleaned and polished to glossy. The glass is original and is a glass ST used on several clocks. There is nothing special about the case except the size, but like the No. 1 it has the weird looking figure at the top. There are a few applied wood ornaments, grooved pieces of trim, some etched designs, and special trim around the door. The dial paper is original, so are the hands, pendulum, pendulum hanger, alarm movement, alarm brass bell, and the Cathedral gong, are all original to the clock. The ST movement is 8-day, time, strike, and alarm, and operating properly. Ly-Seth Thomas #2276. $100-$200.
