Antique American Clocks July 2021
206. $1800
Atkins, Whiting & Co. “Parlor No. 2”, 1850-1855. An 18.5-inch case veneered in rosewood with
not a chip to be found. The dial glass is original with good gold leafing, probably rebacked; the lower door mirror is a modern
replacement. The door handles are ivory. The metal dial has been overcoated with varnish and has yellowed; the hands are
period and correct. The round Atkins movement is mounted on a Type III wagon spring with the original chains. It should
run 30 days, time-only, but it needs attention, as it just can’t get going. There is no label, as is typical. No. 2 Parlors
are uncommon; Horton’s sold one in 2018 for $2175. No other recent sales that I can find. $1800-$2500.
