207.         $500

Geo. A. Jones & Co. “Fritz”, 1864-1873.  Jones had a fondness for gothic design and you see it in several of his clocks; AAC sold a similar example a year ago.  This 48-inch walnut case has an old, patinated finish; the trim pieces are all in place, and the finials look original.  Both glasses are period but the putty around the dial glass has been replaced.  The painted dial holds old paint and is clean, with good numbering.  The hands match those found on one other example, sold at RO Schmitt in 2006 for $1000.  The 8-day, time-only, spring-driven movement is unmarked, with a fancy R/A-style pendulum.  It is not running and will need service.  There is a label inside, visible through the pendulum door.  One of two examples, it would appear, and certainly a looker.  $500–$1000.

BID INCREMENTS
 
I use the following bid increments to assign the final sale price.  If your winning bid is less than one increment over the second highest bid, you are assessed your full bid amount.
 
   BID                     INCREMENT

$1-$249                       $0            The bid you place is the price you pay –                                                       no increments applied
$250-$499                   $25
$500-$999                   $50
$1000-$2499               $100
$2500-$4999               $250
$5000-$9999               $500
$10,000 >                    $1000
 
If you are the only bidder and you bid less than $250, you will pay your full bid amount if you are the winning bidder; if you bid more than $250, you will get the item for $250 or the minimum bid price, whichever is higher.
