44.      $3000

Timby’s Solar Time Piece, 1863-1865.  A second example.  The finish is old, likely original, and crusty in places, the drop acorn finials are present here.  The globe is in very good condition, slightly yellowed and with one small spot of damage at the North Pole.  There is no glass in the door and it is not held in place well; there are two small pieces of wood that have come unglued and probably assisted in securing the door.  The top of the case lifts off the bottom and is not secured.  The unsigned balance wheel movement is running and the globe is turning, but the minute wheel in the door is a replacement and is too large, rubbing on the case at the bottom.  $2500-$3500.
