New Haven Clock Co. “Ganges”, ca. 1881.  The NHCC made two weight-driven shelf clocks, the Ganges and the Indus, and claimed that they were the smallest weight clocks made, probably true at the time of manufacture; they are both one-day clocks.  This Ganges is 23.5 inches tall, in walnut with a good finish.  The polychrome door glass is original and in good shape; the dial has a paper replacement and the dial board is broken and missing a center section.  Fortunately, the loss is not apparent when the door is closed.  The pendulum is New Haven issue, but a round bob is shown in the catalog illustration. The 1-day, time-and-strike movement is not signed, and has been repaired; it is running and striking on a nickel bell, driven by two correct weights.  There is also an alarm, untested.  Decent label on the back.  These are not common clocks; Horton’s last sold one in 2016 for $250, and there are no more-recent sales on LiveAuctioneers.  $200-$500.
