Antique American Clocks July 2022
24. $650
Wallace Goodwin regulator, 1840-1861. This is
one of two W. Goodwin clocks in this auction, along with the Baltimore banjo, #128. The 29-inch rosewood-grain-painted case
is dark but the grain painting is clear. Both glasses are period/original, the tablet has been touched up. The 11-inch
dial is the original paper, remarkably clean and signed below the mainstem. The two screws on either side of the signature do
not attach to anything and have been noted in the one other example of this model. The hands differ from that example but are
likely original. The unsigned banjo-style movement runs 8 days, time-only, and is running without issue, driven by a large cast
iron weight. AAC sold the ‘other example’ in 2020 for $650. $650-$900.
