This French comptoise (the District where it was produced) "Baker's Clock" is in very good condition overall, with no age cracks as are so often found in this type of clock case. The frame features deep grooves in-painted black and a lovely brown mottled design on the higher ridges. The original door glass covers a painted dial. The hands are also original to the clock. The eight-day movement strikes the hours on a coil gong and once every half-hour as well. As with most French wall clocks, this one runs well without stopping providing it is hanging correctly on the wall. They demand proper positioning so that the "tick" is even. The dial is held in place by three long "hat-pin" like screws which are typical for this type clock. There were four pins originally. But the remaining three retain the dial quite securely. The pendulum "bob" is not original to the clock. To access the dial for winding and setting the hands, the entire door frame lifts up (see photograph). These graceful wall clocks are becoming a very popular decorator's item and are now frequently seen in home decorating magazines. Priced as low as we saw them several years ago.   « Less

Gustav Becker was one of Germany's premier clockmakers. Because the German borders changed quite frequently due to various skirmishes and wars with neighboring countries, Becker's clocks were variously marked as being made both in Germany and Poland. This fine example of his "Vienna Regulator" wall clock bears the engraved marking on the brass movement plate: Freiburg-Schlesien, then Germany, (now Poland). His clocks won the Medal of Honor at the Paris Exposition and repeatedly at other award contests for their excellence. This eight-day beauty runs perfectly, keeping excellent time and strikes the hours and half-hours on a melodious coil gong. The serial number stamped into the front plate of the movemet dates the clock as having been made around 1885. The brass weights are original to the clock as are the brass pulleys and pendulum with its porcelain beat scale. Brass wall levelers complete the fine quality of this classic clock. There is a very small and almost invisible restoration of one of the round "collars" on the right upper ornament. There are three good unbroken glasses and six finials. The two-piece porcelain dial has a subsidiary seconds dial,three old hands and brass rings. They don't come much nicer than this in my opinion.   « Less

This little sweetheart is delightfully smaller than many so-called "school house" clocks and includes fancy and elaborate carvings on the wood Oak case surrounding the dial. The dial with Arabic numerals is original to the clock and in good condition. On the back of the case is the original label (see our photograph) which includes about 2/3rds of its printing. Fortunately the important wording including the name "Branford" is retained. The eight-day mechanism is clean and running well, striking the hours on a clear coil gong. The pendulum "bob" has a fancy brass design (see photo). Overall, this is a hard-to-find version of the larger school house or "Octagon" wall clocks. Priced to sell quickly in these economic recessionary times.   « Less

In the book entitled, "JONATHAN CLARK BROWN AND THE FORESTVILLE MANUFACTURING COMPANY", an identical movement to this clock is shown on page 48. Brown and E.N. Welch were partners in that clockmaking firm. The wooden case has been restored with an attractive hand-painted wood grain. When the lower door is opened, one of the most remarkable primitive paintings we've ever encountered is revealed on the inside the case. It depicts a country cottage with colorful surrounding scenery (see photograph). The painting even extends around the inside of the case. The white spot on the upper door glass at the numeral three is simply a reflection of the camera flash. This clock is typical of those produced by EN Welch; William Gilbert and Chauncey Jerome who worked as partners during this period in Connecticut. It includes Brown's 'trademark' porcelain door knob. The dial is a later replacement with professionally painted signature including J.C. Brown's name and Forestville, Ct. My wife and I feel that the delightful, primitive painting inside the case makes this a prize 'find' for anyone who appreciates rare and unusual features in an antique clock.   « Less

Over 115 years ago, the Waterbury Clock Company in Connecticut produced this lovely wall regulator. The dial cover is original to the clock and retains the Waterbury logo. Inside the case, the clean 8-day movement runs well and strikes the hours plus one strike on each half-hour. Even the beat meter and the black and gold paper lable with the Waterbury name at the lower portion inside the case is original . On the rear of the case are two labels retaining most of their paper. This is a really attractive and impressive clock and priced lower than most of its type due to our policy of offering clocks at reasonable prices made possible by careful management and acquisition policies.   « Less

Antique clock collectors often refer to various clocks using commonly-accepted generic names. This type of clock is usually called a "chisel bottom" because of the slanted bottom on the case (see photograph). A previous owner did some careful restoration on this clock, lending a wonderful appearance and precise operational quality. The Rosewood case veneer has a bold and rich colored pattern and the replaced dial bears the Waterbury Clock Company name. The lower door features a 'bob' window with gold surround and a rich blue background. Inside the case is a clean eight-day movement that has been recently serviced and is running perfectly---keeping excellent time. The old Waterbury label shows its age (see photograph) but is complete and legible. As with our other clocks, this beauty has been listed with a price that beats similar offerings on the internet and at most antiques shops where we've seen Waterbury "Chisel Bottoms" selling for $800 and up. Our reasonable prices are the result of careful management and low overhead. This fine clock is ready to hang on the wall for years of trouble-free service. SPECIAL NOTE: My wife brought to my attention the fact that in the overall photograph of this clock there is a little tab of brown showing near the bottom right side of the case. That is a cardboard 'shim' that I put behind the clock to level it. Our peg board walls are not level or 'plumb' so we need to use those cardboard pieces to allow the clocks to hang properly.   « Less

The Ansonia Clock Company painted their initial "A" inside a diamond pattern on the lower door glass of this premium wall regulator(see photo). It was prized by business offices, jewelery stores and railroad stations as a clock that incorporated excellent time-keeping quality as well as adding a handsome and eye-appealing appearance on their wall. Modern clock collectors often have an 'A' (as they are often referred to) in their home or office. The solid Walnut case on this clock is in excellent condition and the eight-day brass movement has been professionally cleaned and adjusted to insure accuracy and many more years of service for its next owner. The dial was professionally re-painted on the original dial pan and the hands and pendulum are also original to the clock. The upper door glass was replaced at some time in the clock's history. This is a really fine example of this desireable clock that has kept people, trains and office workers on schedule for over 100 years.   « Less

My grandmother used to say: "What's second is third". By that she meant that when something happens two times, it often happens again. That's been true this week regarding our latest additions to the clock inventory. We bought an Ansonia "Queen Elizabeth" wall regulator last week and sold it almost before it was listed on our web site. Next we purchased an Ansonia "Queen Anne" which is currently on our web site. And today, we purchased another Ansonia "Queen Elizabeth"!! This beauty has a solid Mahogany case and retains its original hands, pendulum with large brass 'bob' and eight-day movement which is running well and keeping good time. All of the Victorian embellishments, spools, turned columns, finials etc. are original to the case and in excellent condition. Even the door glass is original to the clock with the expected wavy old glass. In fact, the only fault I could find is that a previous owner replaced the dial pan...or so it would seem. The clue to that observation is that there are five screws holding the dial onto the case instead of the usual three for this type clock. It's a very old dial pan and with the door closed, the extra screws are invisible of course, so I can't complain about the replaced dial. Overall, I'd rate this as an A- (it would rate A+ except for the dial replacement.) Our price for this outstanding clock is well below most that we see on the internet and in shops these days. So, take advantage of the offer----it's a beauty !!!.   « Less
