New Haven Clock Co. boudoir clock, ca. 1910. I don’t think any company made more small, gilded novelty clocks than New Haven, but here is one that didn’t make it into Tran Duy Ly’s New Haven Clocks & Watches compendium.  It is 7.5-inches tall on an onyx base, with very good gilding and only minor losses on the top surfaces.  Remarkably, there are no putti’s (cherubs) on this model, making it somewhat unusual.  There is a beveled glass over the porcelain(?) signed dial; it is running, probably a one-day backwind movement.  This is one of the better examples I have seen of this type of clock, popular in the early twentieth century.  $50-$150.
