this clock lived by the sea and the lower portion of the outer brass bezel corroded away, and this allowed some moisture to reach the paper dial and cause some discoloration. There is a horizontal bar that should be soldered at the rear edge of the "wheels" to keep this from tipping backwards, and that bar is missing. It does still stand OK, but you do want to be careful.

CONDITION:
this is the first of this model we have offered in 31 years of business. It was an expensive clock when new, retailing for $125 when most other Bonns were in the $20 to 50 range. Ly lists this clock with portrait at $3000, while he shows the portrait LaCerda at $3700, so we figure his estimated price is on the low side. Although there are some variations in portrait models, this particular clock has the identical lady's portrait as depicted in the 1908 Ansonia catalog. Signature is to the left, under the picnic basket, however we can read it. Overall excellent+ Ht 24"

Chelsea Clock Co., Boston, 10 INCH CHELSEA model, Ship's Bell on mahogany base, C.1910, restored, with hinged bezel, button latch, and special dial with raised bronze numerals.
CONDITION:
according to the official Chelsea ledger, this clock case (#66003) was originally sold on August 4, 1910 to W.W. Wattles & Sons as a Special Dial Old Brass Hinge with a Ships Bell movement. An entry indicates it was also repaired in 1929. The movement number is now #70525 and the ledger indicates this as a ship's bell unit sold on November 25, 1910 to Black, Starr & Frost in an 8.5" red brass hinge with base. This clock has been professionally polished and lacquered, dial done by the Dial House, new felt on base. About as good as it gets for condition, both mov't and case made in 1910. If the serial numbers matched, we would have expected this to fetch $12000; our estimate tries to reflect current state. With older style Chelsea key. Diameter of case = 12", ht on stand = 17.5"

E. Howard & Co., Boston, C.1890, "REGULATOR No. 9", figure 8 wall clock in walnut, weight driven, eight day.
CONDITION:
the top 2 and bottom 2 inches of the case has been replaced and the trim buttons newly turned, and case refinished to blend stain; the turned additions were made of mahogany rather than walnut and the difference shows. The dial is held to the dial surround now with machine screws and nuts, easily changed if it irritates you. Movement has been vibro-engraved with the name of a former owner. Otherwise this is a good clock with signed movement and original pendulum, hands and hardware. The weight has a "4", and weighs the proper amount for this clock. Runs. Ht 37"
