Antique American Clocks July 2020
233. $100
Wm. Gilbert “Hollywood”, ca. 1929. A small wall clock (24 inches tall), “for the modern home or apartment.” This model is shown in Ly’s Gilbert Clocks Supplement, page 12. It has a dark mahogany finish, a beveled lower glass, and a
silvered dial with “ornamental hands”. There are small carved ornaments on the top and bottom, not very noticeable. The
signed silvered dial is a bit yellowed here. The 8-day time-and-strike signed movement is running and striking the hours and
half-hours in a ding-dong pattern on two chime rods. The nickeled pendulum rod and bob are correct. Typically sells for
from $100 to $200 on eBay; often missing the beveled lower glass. $100-$200.
