Waterbury Clock Company, Crystal Regulator, “Vannes”, ca 1908.
The brass case is about 10 ½ inches high, has doors front and back, all glasses are beveled and both side glasses have chips in corners,
but otherwise are fine. The two-piece porcelain dial is signed and very good all over including the original hands and open escapement.
The 8-day movement is signed, running, and striking half hours on a gong. I managed to pull the suspension spring down so now the
pendulum drags. My expertise does not extend to movement repairs. Ly-Waterbury #455. $75-$150.

“MASCOT / Manufactured By / The E. Ingraham Company, / For / E.
Gately & Co., / 1025 Market St. Philadelphia, Pa.”. Gately was a jewelry store among other businesses. The mahogany case is very
attractive and similar to other clocks made by Ingraham and other clock makers. The case is 24 inches tall with finial on top, unusual
columns on the sides with lions’ heads, and a level in the base. The glass is original, the dial certainly may be, very nice brass
pendulum, high grade Cathedral gong, brass rings on the dial, separate alarm movement and bell in the bottom of the case. The 8-day
movement is running and striking half hours and hours. Not pictured in books because it was a special order no doubt to be used as
gifts, or maybe even for sale in their stores. $100-$200.

New Haven Clock Co. hanging clock, “Camden Line – A”, ca 1907.
One of three oak cased clocks in their Camden Line. The oak case is 25 inches high, pressed designs, very medium dark finish, and
probably has never been seriously cleaned. Nice pendulum, original glass, good paper dial, and good hands. 8-day movement is running
and striking a cathedral gong. An excellent label on the back. Ly-New Haven #640. $100-$200.

E. Ingraham Clock Co. wall clock, “Amulet”, ca 1886. The oak
case is 28 inches tall, has all the original carvings, buttons, and applied ornaments. They made this clock in a shelf and a wall
clock. The glass is original as are the internal parts, dial, hands, dial rings, alarm movement, bell and gong, and the fancy pendulum.
The shelf model did not have the level and thermometer that this one has. The 8-day movement is running and striking hours and half
hours. This wall model is a little fancier than most. In the 1880’s the price of a clock like this cost around $4.50. This one cost
$7.00 when new. Ly-New Haven #926. $100-$200.
792. $100
E. Ingraham & Co. wood cased mantel clock, “Grecian”, ca
1869. This popular style was made by Ingraham in several different configurations, all with the two “buttons” below the dial and a
door hook on the side. This rosewood case is 14.5” tall, complete and original. The glass is held in place with original putty,
dial is new and hands are original, all of the green label remains inside and the 8-day movement strikes on a coil gong. The movement
runs 8-days and strikes on the hours. The brass bob is correct. Ly-Ingraham, page 258. $100-$200.
793. $175
E. Ingraham & Co. banjo clock, “Treasure”, ca 1934. Collectors
call the clock “Treasure Island” because the throat glass is imprinted, “Treasure Island”. The complete label on the back says it
is, “Treasure”. This is a pretty nice banjo and I don’t see any glaring defects. The bowed glass over the dial is good and the dial
is signed two places and is only a little soiled and the hands are correct. The solid mahogany case is 39” high, has solid brass eagle,
brass side rails, and bezel. Both glasses are original, same with the pendulum bob, latches, etc. The movement is 8-day, two rod duplex
strike. Ly-Ingraham #239. $200-$350.
794. $75
“Schatz / Royal Mariner / Made In West Germany”, signed on the
painted dial of this German ships bell clock. Excellent brass case has a hinged and screw down bezel and is made to mount on the wall.
The case is 7 inches wide on the base and 4 inches tall. Beveled glass in the sash. The 8-day movement is running and striking ships
bells. An on off switch for the bells in on the dial and on the back of the case. Accompanying the clock is a “Schatz Compensated
Precision Barometer”. The size of the case is identical to the clock and so is the configuration, i.e. bezel, etc. $100-$200.

Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. “Hanging Library No. 6”, ca 1875. This is the earlier No. 6 model, no carving, where the 1880 model had a carved top and longer tail. Walnut case is 28” high, complete and original. Perhaps lightly cleaned-polished, retains old finish, does not need anything as it is already really nice. The movement is 8-day, time and strike. Old dials are 6 and 8 inches, still in very acceptable condition but the time dial is dirty. There is a complete label on the back. Case parts are numbered, bezels have not been polished, hands look to be original as does the finial and other top ornaments. It has a proper nickel pendulum with the extension. The case back still has the wire tabs holding it in place. Ly-Calendar #340. $500-$800.
