218.     $50

Colonial Manufacturing Co. sawtooth clock.  A 27-inch replica of the early “sawtooth” clocks that are driven by gravity as the clock slides down the saw.  It runs for 32 hours, after which you wind by sliding the clock back up to the top.  The pendulum is the small swing-arm in front of the 3.5-inch dial.  The base appears to be oak with applied carvings.  There are instructions on the back; it is running vigorously.  $50-$150.
