The Seth Thomas Garfield and Lincoln shelf clocks have consistently been the most popular pair we've ever sold. Here is a beautiful Garfield in walnut for your consideration.
Physical: The walnut case is in excellent physical condition. It retains the original finish and measures 15.5"w x 29"h x 6.5"d. The 8" diameter dial, which may have been repainted in the past (old and difficult to tell), is also in excellent condition as you can see in the photos below. Note the great damascened pendulum bob. The glass is original, too!
Mechanical: The two-weight, eight day movement was professionally overhauled in 2010 and is in excellent running order. There is a repair to the hour hand where it meets the hub that is not visible behind the minute hand when it is in place. Though this is one of those "no big deal" things, we believe in full disclosure. We want to hear the sound of you calling us again to buy another clock!
|
Comments: This Garfield has the original weights. Often, these have been replaced by new weights available at the major clock parts house.
This is a great clock that should be in your collection. It would also look great on the shelf. Buy them now and tuck away for a very special Christmas surprise... perhaps for yourself? (!)

Cobalt Blue is one of the richest-looking and most desirable of all the Royal Bonn porcelain cases made in Germany for the Ansonia Clock Co. The photos do the talking...

Fancy Ansonia Royal Bonn “ La Vendee ”, c.1904
Open Escapement Model
Here is another unusual Ansonia Clock Company high-end Royal Bonn we've not seen before. The original catalogue price was $17; it's a bit more expensive today. In its 1896 catalogue, Ansonia describes the series of "porcelain decorated clocks", the cases of which they imported, as follows:
"Imported, Hand Painted and Gold Decorated Cases, Fitted with the Ansonia Clock Company's Eight Day, Half-Hour Strike, Cathedral Gong on Sounding Board, Round Polished Brass EScapement Movement, Ruby Pallets, Rack Strike, with Patent Regulators and Striking Parts, and Either Porcelain or Gild Dials."
Physical: The high-quality German "Royal Bonn" porcelain case is in excellent condition and measures 13"w x 14.5"h x 5"d. The 5" dial is also in excellent original condition. This clock has Ansonia's fancy sash (bezel around dial) and beveled glass. The porcelain has typical "alligatoring".
Mechanical: The eight-day, cathedral gong-strike movement is in excellent running order and features an "open escapement" visible on the dial. It strikes on the half-hour and on the hour. The movement was professionaly and thoroughly overhauled in April 2003 and had 14 new bushings installed.The clock will be professionally lubricated once again, prior to shipment.
Comments: We don't list a lot of porcelain clocks because many of them offered to us are either pedestrian in design, overtly common, or are in chipped-up condition. This is another wonderful exception.

Difficult-to-Find
Ansonia Royal Bonn No. 502
|
|
|
|
|
This is a stunning big clock, signficantly different in both design and color than most Ansonia clocks with Royal Bonn porcelain cases that you'll ever see... and it runs like a champ!
Physical: The case measures 10.5"w x 13.5"h x 4.5"d. There is a small repaired crack on the left front foot that does not jump out at you. A correct rear "tin can" door will be installed and shipped with the clock. The 5" porcelain dial is in exquisite condition, as is the rest of the clock.
Mechanical: The eight-day time-and-strike movement was just professionally overhauled. It is keeping precise time and strikes the hour with a deep, resonant gong.
Comments: This is a beautiful clock at an extremely affordable price that's just waiting for a place in your home... perhaps her boudoir?

Extremely Unusual and Difficult-to-Find
Bim-Bam Quarter-Strike Seth Thomas “ Atlas”
|
|
|
|
|
The extremely sought-after and desirable Seth Thomas "Atlas" model has a very unusual movement with three gongs. It does a bim-bam strike on the lighter-guage gongs twice on the quarter hour, four times on the half, six times on the three-quart and eight times on the hour, followed by the hour being struck on a heavier mellow-sounding "cathedral bell" gong on the hour. This is the kind of movement one might more expect to find in a "petite sonnerie" European clock.
Physical: The beautiful mahogany case, marked on the back with an 1887 manufacture date, is in excellent condition, measures 22.5" high x 12" wide x 5.5" deep and has the ORIGINAL FINISH. The 6" dial is in very good condition and has the ORIGINAL PAINT. Likewise the GLASS IS ORIGINAL in this clock, and it has a great damascened pendulum bob, too.
Mechanical: The eight-day time and quarter-hour strike movement was professionally overhauled in 2010 and is in excellent running order. One thing to reiterate from above is that the hour gong has a very mellow tone... pleasing to the ear.
Comments: These don't come along often and, when they do, are generaly scooped up quickly. At the time of this listing there is one on eBay posted with a considerably higher asking price. Now's your opportunity...

Difficult-to-Find Seth Thomas City Series Santa Fe
|
|
|
Ship From So. CA
|
|
This clock is one of the City Series by Seth Thomas. We've never had one of this model available to us before, but understand they generally are missing some of the incredible metal leaves on the front. Take a close look at this stunning clock:
Physical: The oak case was recently completely refurbished. The metal was removed and cleaned, and the wood finish refinished as the old finish was basically shot. The case is 22.5"h and has a wonderful 6" dial that retains the original paint. There is a remnant label in the inside bottom. While you're looking at that, be sure to take a close look at the incredible damascened pendulum bob - it is in amazing condition.
Mechanical: The eight-day half-hour-striking movement was recently professionally overhauled and is ready for years of great service in your home.
Comments: This is a beautiful clock - whether you're an experienced collector or just shopping for a pretty decorator piece. Call us to make it your own.

A Beautiful Forestville 8-Day Clock, c.1835
Here's one you will want to study carefully while simultaneously reaching for your checkbook! This beauty is by Forestville Manufacturing Company of Bristol, CT, home of the famous designer, J.C. Brown (History).
Physical: The clock measures 18.5"w x 34.5"h x 6.5"d. The 9" diameter dial is original and hand-painted on a wood base. There are hairline cracks (age-appropriate, certainly) in the dial.
The sleigh-front, half-column Mahogany case is a beauty. No doubt about it. It was refinished in a professional manner some years ago. The labels, although not in "new" condition, are in good condition and age-appropriate to the clock. It is clear that the reverse-painted lower tablet is not the original design... not sure about the glass itself.
Mechanical: The eight-day time and gong-strike weight-driven movement is in good running order, striking on the hour.
Comments: All in all, this is a lovely clock at a great price. Waiting for a special spot on your mantle or perhaps in the family room. Now is the time...
