329.    $100

Atkins Clock Co. “London”, 1859-1879.  The classic “London”, with a 16.5-inch rosewood-veneered case in excellent condition, just a bit in need of cleaning on the base.  Dial glass original with an intact surround, middle and bottom glasses replacements.  The painted metal dial is a disaster, touched up poorly, still peeling, and badly in need of repainting; the hands are mismatched.  The unsigned 8-day, time-and-strike movement is frozen solid and won’t run or strike.  There is a clear label inside.  This may be a 15 or 30-day movement, as the springs are quite large.  When in good shape and running order these popular clocks sell for $175-$250.  $100-$200.
