French mystery clock “La Balancelle”,ca. 1860.  This 48-inch brass grid-iron-style clock has double-sided enamel dials.  It is designed to hang from the ceiling such that both sides can be viewed.  The clock itself serves as the pendulum, suspended from a brass ceiling mount by a suspension spring at the top.  A descending fixed rod provides a post for the escapement crutch loop to tie into, thereby completing the pendulum set-up.  The ceiling mount and rod are missing so this clock cannot function until a replacement is made.  There are four fancy hands, probably not original; one side had a sweep seconds hand, the “back side” did not.  A broken sweep seconds hand is included.  The 10-inch diameter dials are without damage; the back dial is marked “Morel a Morbier”.  Note the escapement anchor loop above that dial.  I did not open the movement, but it is spring-driven (of course) and probably runs 8 days, time-only. There are winding arbors on both sides.  This clock sold in 2019 at R.O. Schmitt (Lot 102 of the May 18-19 auction) for $1600. If you do brass work this clock is for you; a picture of the clock and mounting bracket as sold at Schmitt’s is shown.  $200–$500.

605.                $10

French pull-up silk-thread movement and dial, ca. 1840?  I do not know what this is about.  The simple time-only movement is unmarked, as is the porcelain dial.  It appears to be designed to hang from a hook on a wall, with two spikes that extend from the base of the movement to the wall to make it vertical.  There is a fancy engraved brass weight and a smaller counter-weight; the simple pendulum is suspended from a thread.  There is a glass in the brass bezel, which opens to the right, and two proper hands.  I could not get the clock to run, but perhaps you can.  If you know a story about this clock let me know.  $10–$50.

606.               $15

Atkins Clock Co. 30-hour steeple, ca. 1860.  This 19.5-inch mahogany steeple has an old finish, two period glasses with a well-retained tablet, and two period finials. What it doesn’t have is a time-side winding arbor or spring, so it is here in Parts.  The slightly contoured dial is clean with old paint, good numbering, and two acceptable hands.  The 30-hour time-and-strike brass movement is unsigned and untested. There is a suspension spring but no pendulum bob; there is a good label inside.  If you’ve got a spring and arbor you can restore this clock to functionality; if not, you can use it for parts.  It’s worth noting that ACC steeple clocks are uncommon. $15–$50.
