Philco Radio “Model 551 Colonial Clock Radio” 1931-1932.  A 22-inch tall mahogany and mahogany veneer case in good condition with glass over the 8-inch metal dial labeled “Philco Electric”.  The wooden finials on top are probably replacements.  At the bottom of the clock dial is a frequency dial, lighted from behind, with a knob below it to tune the radio.  There are two additional knobs on the bottom left and right to turn on the radio and adjust the volume; the single speaker opens to the top of the case and has the original cloth cover.  The radio chassis is Model 51, a five-tube radio with a single wave band.  The power cord is original, cloth-covered, and in bad shape, so it was not plugged in.  The tubes look good.  Two recent sales on LiveAuctioneers, most recently for $80.  $50–$150.

Atkins Clock Co. “London”, 1859-1879. The 17-inch case has been stripped but not refinished; the rosewood veneer is complete and in good condition.  The half-columns have also been stripped and are ready to be painted/gilded.  Both glasses appear to be original with slight losses; the door latches are not latching.  The contoured metal needs to be repainted, the hands are period-correct.   The suspension spring is broken off the pendulum rod but the rod is included so you can fit a new one.  The unsigned movement looks complete but will need cleaning; it could not be tested.  There is a pendulum bob and key, and a good label inside.  Your next project? $10–$100.

605.                $50

Elisha Manross “Improved Eight Day Brass Clock”, 1843-1849.  A 36-inch case with a clean finish on mahogany veneer, a carved splat and two full columns with figured mahogany veneer.  The dial glass is old but either replaced or with new putty, the two lower glasses are modern with applied images that look like typical lithograph transfers from the front but are painted from the back.  All glasses have been recently installed.  The contoured metal dial is in good condition with light soiling; it is not original to this case but fits the movement. There are no hands.  I believe this is a 30-hour time-and-strike, weight-driven movement that has been modified to run 8 days – note the extensions on the base plate.  It could not be tested as there are no weight cords or a pendulum rod and bob. There is a good label on the inside.  I will part this clock out if you only want the movement and are the high bidder. If you want the entire clock, I can provide weights that will work for $50 – add a note to your bid sheet.  $50–$150.

608.               $200

E. Howard(?) large oak case.  I am inclined to think this is an E. Howard case, as I had a similar example a year ago.  The 67-inch solid oak case has a clean finish and is 22.5 inches wide.  The glass is modern.  Note the incisings on the door; the finials are not correct, and four finials (top back and bottom) are missing.  There is no label, but there is a plaque inside on the door that states “Underwriters’ Laboratories Inspected Time Detector”, with a serial number.  There is also a brass “FM” plaque at the bottom.  This case had electrical(?) connections originally, and the inside back of the case shows numbered markings.  The mounting hardware appears to be a replacement, and handmade.  (The Seth Thomas movement that came with this clock is item 609 but does not fit the mounting bracket.)  The handmade pendulum stick lacks a bob.  This fine case is looking for a proper movement and dial, perhaps you have those parts looking for a case?  $200–$400.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. “No. 62 Movement”. This trapezoidal/keystone brass plate movement appears to correspond to Movement No. 62, shown on page 299 of Ly’s Seth Thomas Clocks & Movements, Vol. 1.  It is driven by a single center-hung weight and is time-only, winding at the number 2.  The pendulum hangs from the back; note that the leveling adjustment screw for the pendulum is at the top of the movement.  The brass plates are 4.25 inches wide at the bottom and 5.25 inches in length.  The movement is stamped with the ST logo, but no movement number. It was not tested.  $100–$200.
