New Haven “Sauer’s Advertiser”, ca. 1910. These clocks were made in the early 1900’s
by Sauer’s in Richmond, VA, using a New Haven time-only, 8-day unsigned movement and case, 42 inches in length. It has
a 12-inch signed, painted dial that shows some smearing of the lettering from aggressive cleaning. The plain wood case
is darkly stained and has a few scrapes. The advertising glass is the main attraction and is in excellent shape with no
scratches or losses; however, there is some tarnishing to the gold medals. Sauer’s reissued this clock in the 1970’s; reissues
have a bright green background behind the Sauer’s name, while the originals have a dark green background, as seen here. The
clock is running fine and keeping time but is rather loud. There is a New Haven label on the back. AAC sold
this clock a year ago for $900. $600-$900.
