501.                 $100

Federal carved giltwood eglomise mirror, ca. 1830.  A 21.5-inch by 11-inch mirror surrounded by half columns and gilt trim, all original.  The mercury mirror and reverse-painted glass also appear to be original.  The wooden backboard is brittle, there is a wire to hang the mirror. $50–$100.

502.                $100

Large glass dome and wooden base. The dome and base are 29 inches tall, with the dome at 26 inches tall and 10 inches in diameter.  The glass may not be antique but is wavy with bubbles, the base appears to antique and is veneered in rosewood.  Not necessarily for a clock.  $100–$250.

503.                $10

Three formerly useful items: A Diebold safe time lock; Kundo electromagnetic clock; Minneapolis Heat Regulator Co. thermostat.  None of these items are working, as best I can tell.  The Kundo clock lacks the battery holder in the base; The two springs on the thermostat (one winds the clock from behind, one winds something in the thermostat) will not wind (broken spring or missing click-stop) and the glass thermometer is not working; and I don’t know how to test the safe lock.  Lot’s of fun here for the mechanical guy.  $10–$100.  

601.                $10/pair

603.                $50

Eli Terry Jr 8-day brass horseshoe movement.  Complete and functional, best I can tell.  $50–$100.

605.                $5

Wooden dial.  Eleven inches wide, 10.75 inches tall.  Winding holes are 1.75 inches from center, 3.25 inches apart.  Peeling to surface.  From an Eli Terry 8-day brass clock (#603).  Priority Mail, $20.  $5–$25. 

606.               $10

607.                $100

Eight-day wooden works shelf clock,ca. 1830.  The label is lost so we don’t know who made this impressive carved column and splat shelf clock.  The clock stands 39 inches tall with mahogany veneer and an old, patinaed finish; note the deeply carved half-columns and fruit basket splat. The dial glass is old but probably a replacement; the mirror could be original and has been rebacked.  Note the framing around the glasses in front.  There is no dial or hands; the wooden 8-day movement is running and striking when large, 12-lb cast iron weights are hung.  This clock does not come with these weights, but they can be purchased separately for $100 – add a note to your bid sheet.  There is an embossed brass pendulum bob and two additional wooden pulleys that you can install after trimming down their width to fit in the case-top openings.  This clock calls for double pulleys on each side, but only two are now in place.  If you think you know who made this, let me know!  $100–$300.

608.               $10/pair

Oddball weights.  Most weigh around 3 lb, except for the alarm weights on the front right (1-2 lb).  Any two weights for $10, no bidding, first-come first-served. Weights are sold as pairs as shown.  Alarm weights will be sold separately, $10/ea. 

609.               $5

Long pendulum rods.  The longest is 43 inches; wooden sticks are 25 inches.  All for one money.  $5–$25.

610.                $100

Eight-day wooden works movement and dial.  An 8-day movement tested to run and strike; 6.5 inches across, 8 inches long, 2 3/8 inches in depth.  The wooden dial matches the movement and is soiled; the numbering is still strong.  Includes a suspension spring, brass bob, and matching hands that fit the dial.  $100–$200.

611.                 $25

David Dutton long drop case, 1830-1850.  Dutton favored beveled case designs, as found here; the case is 29.75 inches tall with beautiful flame mahogany veneer, with a few missing segments on the cornice.  The dial glass is likely original, the lower glass is a beautiful replacement. Dutton worked primarily with wooden movements but did make some brass movement clocks in later years, and this may be one of them. Note the screw holes that might have held mounting blocks for a brass movement.  There is a legible but beat up label inside that states that this case held a movement with an alarm.  $25–$100.

612.                 $500

Atkins “Parlor No. 1” case and wagon spring movement.  The case has a clean old finish with some patina, and a few scrapes on the corners.  The dial glass and mirror are likely original; the original dial surround has some losses.  The Type III wagon spring will run after some adjustment to the beat; the wooden stick and bob are correct and period.  The movement fits the case but will likely need to be elevated a half-inch or so to put the mainstem in the center of the dial opening.  There is no dial, hands, or backboard. $500–$1000.

613.                 $25

Reproduction Howard finials.  A matched set, in walnut.  The center finial is 5 inches tall; the side finials are 4.5 inches tall.

614.                $10

Union Clock Co. cottage clock case, 1854.  This is a rare manufacturer, in business for one year in Bristol CT and succeeded by the Empire Clock Co.  Sometimes Union Manufacturing Co. clocks are mislabeled UCC clocks.  It’s too bad the movement is missing, although they were probably buying brass movements from other makers.  Good original glass and tablet.  $10–$100.

615.                 $150

Thomas Hughes tall case clock movement & dial, ca. 1760.  Hughes was a clockmaker in London England in the mid-1700’s.  The composite brass dial with a silvered chapter ring is signed at the bottom and has a seconds dial, calendar aperture, and strike/silent dial.  There are ornately cast brass spandrels and ornately carved hands.  The 8-day time-and-strike movement will run, but there are no weights and it lacks a pendulum rod and bob.  It is 18 inches tall and 13 inches wide.  This item sold at Bonhams Skinner in 2012 for $750.  $150–$500.

616.                $15

Two splats, turned feet, and eglomise glass.  The period splats are 13.5 inches wide (carved), 12 inches wide (flat).  The glass is 11.125 inches wide and 6 inches tall; it appears to be period but has been rebacked.  $15–$100.

617.                 $10

Three wooden dials. Dial 1 is very dirty, with wear and stretch marks, and lacks a pull-up mirror.  It is 11 7/8 inches wide and 11.25 inches tall; the winding holes are 2.75 inches from the center and 4 inches apart.  Dial 2 is clean with good gilding and an old pull-up mirror; same dimensions as 1.  Dial 3 is very faded; it is 10 7/8 inches wide and 11 inches tall, with two winding ports 2.75 inches from the center and 3.5 inches apart.  Note the third winding port at the numeral 2.  Grommets are missing on this dial. All for one money.  $10–$50. 

618.                $10

Parts for early clocks.  Four claw feet and two turned rear feet.  Not necessarily antique.  Two new dust covers for a pillar & scroll clock, and multiple wooden pulleys.  All for one money.  $10–$50.

504.                $250

Arnaboldi & Co. “G.V. Mooney’s Barometer”, ca. 1870.   A 48-inch stick barometer with an 8-day, lever-spring timepiece.  The wood is walnut or mahogany with an old finish, the 8-day, lever-spring movement was made by Laporte Hubble.  It will run a bit.  The 5-inch dial is replaced paper, the hands likely replacements.  There is a toned paper chart for the barometer behind glass in the midsection, with the retailer, Arnaboldi & Co. of New York at the bottom.  There is a functional alcohol thermometer on the left (a replacement for a mercury thermometer), a coiled wire on the right that allows you to mark the pressure from day to day, and a glass tube filled with mercury; the mercury does not reach the pressure scale, so I think additional mercury needs to be added.  I believe you can access the mercury reservoir by removing the cover at the bottom.  I can provide a small amount of mercury if you wish. This item cannot be shipped – pick up or delivery only.  AAC sold another example of this barometer last summer for $415. $250–$450.
