French, unusual conical clock, date unknown.
CONDITION: this is a tough clock to figure. The pendulum length is about right for it to keep approximate time, And the unusual motif shows a compass over a globe, with equatorial bands. The problem is, you can not wind the clock without dis-engaging the pendulum and tilting the globe upward to expose the winding arbor. Most French clocks are better designed than this. Ht 25"

CONDITION: this is another of the HEAVY items from Blue Ball, Pennsylvania. We have not had one of these before, but we see that Stiles Auction sold one last year for $300+.

Suspension spring is still good, but came out of its notch when we tied it down; mov't signed. Ht 43"

E. Howard & Co., MARBLE DIAL No. 30, made for public use over large passage ways, 8-day weight driven, from South Station [?], with F/S adjust above 12. C.1880.
CONDITION: overall excellent original condition. There is one minor chip on the bottom edge of the dial and an old hairline at the left attaching hole, otherwise the dial is original and outstanding. Many articles have been written about the tower clock on the front facade of South Station, Boston, but this particular clock came from inside the station, over a large interior doorway, removed around 1985. We have been unable to find a foto to verify this, however it seems reasonable. The fact that the original dial paint is so well preserved shows that this did likely set over one of the 14 foot high doorways, and was thus only reachable by the weekly winder. The wooden portions retain their original finish, with a century of dirt and grime, still glossy where protected by the dial. See Howard 1874 catalog for details on this model. Clean, re-strung and running. Width = 52" Ht = 21"

English, Martin Ellwood, Londini Fecit, uncommon & desirable 10 inch brass dial quarter striking movement, 8-day, in an attractive, well proportioned, purpose made tall case with book matched burled walnut veneer, cross banded panels on the sides, and barley twist columns to the hood. The large & robust movement has finely turned baluster pillars, count wheel on the rear plate {cut to strike the quarter hours} on two bells, the hours on a single bell. This is an unusual feature not commonly found on clocks of this period. The dial features a calendar aperture at 6, exquisitely matted center with finely ringed winding holes, a seconds ring and finely pierced hands of the period. C.1690.
CONDITION: overall excellent condition. The warning arm needs adjusting, as the mov't want to strike just once every 15 minutes, even when on the hour section of the count wheel. The case has been nicely veneered over an oak carcass, and is handsomely polished to a warm tone. The door, the pendulum aperture, iron hinges, & key lock are made in the proper style. No detail was overlooked in making this case, including a rising hood with latch as it would have been in this period. Britten's lists Martin Ellwood as "a great-clock maker" in London from 1680 to 1700. A complete and original clock from this period would sell for $30,000+. Ht 78"

Unsigned New Hampshire tall clock, 8-day brass works, painted dial, in a cut-off case. C.1830.
CONDITION: the most prominent fault is that the last owner cut off around 11 inches of the plinth so it would fit in a stair well. The fret top is from another clock and the chimneys are recent, cut and stained to match, and the hood drilled to accept them. The slender case retains a long tomb-stone door. The movement has typical cut-out arches in the plates and is well made; on the dial, period seconds hand came with it, but the shaft is too long, and needs shortening; minute hand has been shortened to fit this dial.

CONDITION: this is a primitive case that does not appear to have ever had veneer; it is a bit loose and needs some additional glue blocks. The back board for the rear of the plinth is absent. The dial does not fit the mask well {see dark spots rt and lt of arch] because the movement is not original to the case {door opening is adequate if the mask is changed}.

CONDITION: Mr. Goddard has not replaced the missing idler roller for which there are holes and an arbor on one side of the movement, rather he substituted a home-made roller screwed to the right side of the case, which doesnt leave enough room for the pulley and weight.
