Three carriage clocks. The smallest (left)
is by Matthew Norman, Switzerland. It is 4 inches tall with the handle up, in an oval tarnished brass case with bowed beveled
glasses. One side glass is missing and two have severe chips in one corner. There is a key to wind but not to set the
hands; it is fully wound and not running. Time-only. The middle clock looks American-made but I cannot find a maker’s
mark. The brass case is 4.5 inches tall with a good finish and three good, beveled glasses. The porcelain dial has several
hairline cracks and proper hands. It is time-and-strike with a repeater function; it runs only briefly; it strikes a small bell
underneath, although the hammer needs adjustment. The repeater button on top is working. The largest clock (right) is
6 inches tall with the handle and was made by Bayard in France. It is modern and was awarded by Becton Dickinson in England
to Richard Stacy in 1980, as inscribed on the back door. It is running, time-only, with 9 jewels. Backwind. All
three clocks for one money. $50–$200.
