180.    $350

Haynes porcelain clock, ca. 1980?  A 22.5-inch ornate porcelain clock with a modern Franz Hermle lever movement and a two-bell strike on the hours and half-hours.  The enameled dial is signed “Haynes” and sits behind a convex glass. Note the delicate porcelain flowers on either side of the dial, and the gilt highlighting throughout.  This clock does not appear to have ever been used; it comes in the original packing box.  I cannot convince it to run, but probably because it has sat for so long unused.  It will strike.  The consignor bought this from Carroll Horton in 2018 for $495; I can’t find any similar examples sold on the internet.  A beautiful clock.  $350-$500.
