Ted Burleigh, Winchester, Mass., "Girandole" wall clock 8 day time only weight driven movement in gold leafed mahogany case with reverse painted convex throat and lower glass tablets and painted metal dial, c1990
CONDITION:
in outstanding and original condition. Consulting case maker Lawrence England Jr., formerly of Winchester, MA, who did all the cases for Burleigh's banjos and girandoles we have determined that this piece was assembled and completed after Ted's death by Foster Campos, who bought the remaining inventory from Ted's estate. This is evidenced by the weight stamped Foster Campos and the substitution of Burleigh's standard presentation banjo dial we see on this clock for the one he usually used on his Girandoles, which would have L. Curtis above the center arbor. The movement is by C.A. Lenderman. Ht 46"

CONDITION:
the top 5" of the case are missing, we are guessing because it needed to fit in a 9' ceiling, what is there is 105", and it would be 110" if complete; there are 4 or 5 other small trim's lacking, but enough originals to copy & restore the case. See American Clocks, volume 2, by Tran Du Ly, for a drawing and other info on this series of Howard timekeepers. The steel seconds hand has been replaced by one with 2 little trains at each end [visually interesting]. Otherwise, this is a great original clock, with all 12 recording mechanisms intact. Note each recorder punches dots into a dial of circular graph paper, when the watchman inserts his key or closes a circuit at a remote station. For definitive info, see "The Watchman's Clock in America", by Philip H. Haselton (1993), pg 63 and Fig A-2 and A-3. Some folks have reproduced the round recording paper, you might find them on the internet, however Fig A-2 gives you the basic info if you choose to do it yourself. Note this clock should be moved by forklift, otherwise is a 4-man job, so please bid with the advance knowledge that you will need to take it home from the Radisson on auction day.
