DESCRIPTION:
A C.1915 custom Banjo case, with a c.1910 Chelsea weight banjo movement, rope front, Boston State House Glasses, as-found.
CONDITION:
the top of the head has been routed out to accept the Chelsea mov't, but this appears to be because the case maker simply didnt leave enough room for the movement. Notice that the bottom box of the case is square, rather than rectangular; it appears that a good woodworker sketched his plans from a foto without understanding the true proportions. He also was given an odd weight that is two inches deep, and so he made the case nearly an extra inch deep to accommodate this weight. The painted dial needs restoration, now has a paper glued over, and coming loose. Rope trim on sides of lower door lacking. Overall an interesting clock that can be enjoyed as-is or the movement used in a Chelsea banjo or office regulator. Serial #8549. Ht 40"

DESCRIPTION:
Atkins Clock Co., Bristol, Conn, 30-DAY Fusee timepiece with Atkins round movement attached to iron fusee support in a "Drop Octagon XX" case that originally had just a regular 8-day time movement. The movement was changed long ago, and the to glue block been there a long time. A 3/8 inch old pine back has been added for reinforcement.
CONDITION:
the top glass got cracked in shipment, lower tablet is fine. Strip of ripple molding has been replaced; rosewood case refinished. Clock runs and keeps time. Our estimate is based on the value of the movement alone, which we removed to inspect the case and to take a better foto.

DESCRIPTION:
Chinese, Reproduction INCLINED PLANE TIMEPIECE, the circular canister rotates as it goes down the plane, however the movement is counterweighted so it maintains a fixed position. The downward motion provides a constant force to the time train. When the clock/canister reaches the bottom, the movement will stop and the unit must be moved again to the top of the plane.
CONDITION:
unlike its French counterpart, this clock goes only for a day. This clock lived by the ocean, and the brass canister is oxidized a bit. The mahogany stand has picked up salt from the air and has a white film and is warped a bit. The sister to this sold Feb 28, 2010 by C. L. Horton for $460+10%. Width of plane = 21"

French, for Tiffany, Circa 1900, 8-day time & gong strike porcelain clock in the form of a church bell retailed by Tiffany & Co., NY.

Original ceramic dial is good {signed Tiffany & Co}, with just a small amount of ceramic loss outside of 8:30. The hands are original.

Welch, Spring & Co., "LUCCA, VP" model in rosewood, 8-day time and bell strike with oversize glass insert pendulum, 8-day, C.1880.
CONDITION:
this clock has a lot of potential for the right Welch collector. The top center finial belongs on the side as an inverted finial (you need to make another and replace the 2 incorrect ones that are in place), then you need to copy the very top rt or left finial (both are original) for the center top. If the cabinet maker had seen a Welch book, he would have known what to do in restoring this, but he only guessed. Mov't is good, label on back with some loss, but still generally good and pendulum is outstanding. Finish is original; never stripped, gilt trim door glass perfect; rear dust paper intact.

DESCRIPTION:
E. Terry & Sons, Plymouth, Conn, C.1830, remains of a pillar and scroll that ticks and strikes through the dirt.
CONDITION:
case is absent its entire top and scrolls, and feet are replaced and too short; original tablet got broken around 30 years ago, and amazingly we found the pieces to tape it together for the foto; label is pretty good with minor losses. The Terry movement should be worth $200, or the case is a challenge for the able restorer. The dial although from a column/splat is excellent. Hands are original. Weights are replacements. Ht 25"
