JUST RE-LISTED ~ Very Motivated Seller Slashed Price
Gazo “ San Franciscan ” in Oak
|
|
|
Ship From So. CA
|
|
Here is the second tallest of the Gazo Family Clock Factory tallcase clocks, influenced by the incredible 1888 E.Howard Regulator No.79, the original catalogue drawing of which is shown to the right. Even in this crazy real estate market, you might have to exchange your house for a Howard 79 to afford it. Our exquisitely executed Gazo San Franciscan in oak is a little less expensive! We sold one a few months back for $8,500.
Physical: The dark Oak case is in excellent condition and retains the original finish and beveled glass throughout. It measures 99.75"h x 28.25"w x 20"d. Bearing serial number 105, the case features a pair of cherubs over a lion's head on the crown, with a pair of urn finials on both corners and fully turned columns on the bonnet, trunk and base. The 11" engraved brass dial features a seconds bit and porcelain "cartouche" numerals.
Mechanical: The triple weight, rod-strike chiming movement plays Westminster and Whittington chimes. It is in good running order. The engraved weights are original to the clock as is the unique Gazo cast brass pendulum bob.
Shipping: This clock will require either personal pickup here in Southern California, crating/trucking, or blanket-wrap transport by a professional antique-mover. All are viable options with which we will seek to assist you.
Comments: If you've been waiting for a Gazo San Franciscan model here it is, waiting for you. If you've been seeking an impressive big clock for your entry, or perhaps your office, this one will definitely fit the bill. Wherever it is placed, it will be a real attention-getter. Don't forget, this is a WHALE of a deal... and it won't bite you!

Here is the most popular of the Gazo Family Clock Factory wall clocks, named after the city of San Marcos, CA, which adjoins the community in which we live.

Mechanical: The movement was professionally serviced in 2010 and is in excellent running order right here in our office. It features a "triple-chime" movement. The original cast brass pendulum is in excellent condition as is the porcelain "beat plate" at the bottom of the pendulum.

Gazo Santa Maria Monumental Wall Clock
We've only had one of these clock before. Not sure how many the Gazo Family Clock Factory made of this particular model, but it wasn't a heckuva lot. But it's a heckuva clock, that's for sure! The crown carving makes this a very attractive and desirable piece that will draw top attention wherever it's hung.
Physical: The case measures 26.5"w x 84"h x 19"d and is in excellent physical condition and has the original finish. The original 9" diameter dial is a typical engraved Gazo dial with applied porcelain numerals.
Mechanical: The eight-day time-and-strike movement is in excellent running order and was overhauled in 2003.
Comments: If you're a Gazo collector you know what to do. If you've just been looking for a very large and impressive wall clock then take action on one of these. You're not going to find many large wall clocks in this price range that come close to this!

Gazo “ Californian ” in Solid Oak
|
|
|
|
|
This lovely Gazo Family Clock Factory "Californian" open-well model in Oak presently stands in the entry of our personal residence and quickly draws admiring attention of everyone who enters our home. You can expect the same rave reviews in yours!
(reference library photo)
Here's how the original catalogue describes it: An outstanding hand-sculptured Grandfather with porcelain numerals on etched solid brass dial with matching weights and solid cast brass pendulum bob with one of West Germany's finest triple-chime movements.
Physical: The solid oak case meaures 93"h x 27"w x 17"d and is in pristine physical condition as you can see in the photos. When it arrived here we cleaned it with orange oil and now it literally glistens. The crown comes off for shipping, leaving the clock net height at about 81.25"
Mechanical: The eight-day chiming movement has an extraordinarily resonant tone as it plays on the quarter hours. This movement, which was just professionally lubricated, plays Westminster, Whittington and St. Michaels chime tunes. This particular clock has the more expensive cable-wind (crank) movements instead of chains.
Comments: This is a heckuva lot of clock. We have a motivated seller who has put the price well below current market value to make it much easier for you to purchase immediately. So, here's your chance to put a stunner in your home or office. A simple phone call will get the process rolling.
Shipping: This clock is ready for immediate shipment. You may pick up the clock in Northern San Diego County, or we will arrange to have one of our blanket-wrap movers to bring it to your door... in exactly the same condition it left ours. This is a much more economical and way safer way to ship than crating. You'll pay the shipper directly so you can rest assurred you are getting the best possible price.

Extremely Rare Gazo “London Bank Gallery” in Oak
|
|
|
|
|
We have had numerous requests over the years for this model from the Gazo Family Clock Factory, but have never had one accessible to us in the past, so we're delighted to present this GREAT BIG gallery clock for your consideration... great in your entry, over a large mantle, or perhaps in the office. It is aptly named as this was a very popular style in Nineteenth Century England.
Physical: The large highly carved oak case, with serial number BC/026/O, measures 28.75"w x 40.5"h x 6"d. The first photos (some below) that our client sent us showed the case to be kind of dusty, so we had them get some lemon oil and give it a good cleaning. You'll be able to see the difference between several of the photos.
The 8" diameter etched brass dial has a crest above the hand arbor and the Gazo signature below. Dial and hands, like the finish and the rest of the clock, are all original.
Mechanical: The eight-day rod-strike (Westminster) chiming movement is in running order. Our consignor says it has been a number of years since it was last serviced, so it is running a bit slow. So you should plan to have the movement serviced when it arrives.
Comments: Been seeking to expand your Gazo collection? Been seeking a large, stately wall clock? Just looking for the right clock for your office? We're ready if you are.

Gazo “ Ramona” In Alder
|
|
|
Ship From So. CA
|
|
We seldom have a Gazo Ramona model available for sale as we generally have a list of people looking for it, so they never make it to our site! Here's one that's physically in our possession and ready to ship. It was assembled in 1980 and bears serial number RMA/480/A, meaning it was the 480th of this model. The hanging photos of the clock were taken in the entry foyer of our home.
Physical: The alder case is in excellent condition as you can see in the photos. It measures 19"w x 46.126"h x 10"d. The etched brass dial is 8" in diameter and features decorative hands and "cartouche" porcelain Roman numerals. The pendulum is of cast brass.
Mechanical: The well-running triple-chime movement plays Westminster, Whittington and St. Michael's chime tunes. The movement was professionally serviced and is ready for your enjoyment.

Very Rare Gazo “ Scottsdale ” in Alder

Ships From Vista, CA

Another Scottsdale - same model
but hanging so you can see what it will look like in your home or office.

Original 1889 catalogue drawing for the E.Howard Regulator No. 57 after which the rare Gazo Scottsdale was patterned.
|
|
|
|
Over the years we have had and sold many Gazo Family Clock Factory models in most styles, wood and finish in which they were made. But this is a first, as the Scottsdale is a relatively rare clock. We'd never even seen one in person until we flew to TX to take these photos. It is a very stately looking clock as you will see, patterned after the E. Howard Regulator No. 57 from the 1889 catalogue that would be worth around $75k today, if you could even find one. The similarity of design is amazing... but ours is a little less expensive!
Physical: The hand-carved alderwood case measures 23"w x 67"h x 11"d and is in great overall condition. Note the full turned and fluted columns that flank the trunk door, and the detailed carving that was the hallmark of Gazo clocks. This one-owner clock has been in a home with two adults and no kids, so it doesn't have the normal wear and tear one might expect of a 25-30 year-old clock.There appears to be some slight finish deterioration on the crown, but it is very minor and not something we didn't notice in person, but only when we were reviewing the photos.
The glass is beveled and also features the original "Scottsdale Regulator" lettering, unique amongst Gazo clocks. The signed porcelain dial measures 13" in diameter and, like the hands, grid pendulum (and the rest of the clock), is original and in excellent condition.
Mechanical: The eight-day, time-only, single weight, retaining-power movement, like all other Gazo clocks, is of German origin. This one, however, is unusual: it has a quartz-assist intended to give the movement quartz accuracy by impulsing the pendulum at some interval through the use of two coils and magnets mounted on the suspension leader. If the quartz component were inoperable, the movement would still run and function correctly and accurately. Personally, we wouldn't mess with it - we'd just remove the batteries and run it as a mechanical clock.
Comments: Taking photos that tell the full story is difficult when a wall clock is not hanging. So we hope you'll take a look at the clock above as an example of what the clock we're offering will look like when it is hung in your home or office, then use your imagination, but knowing it is a beautiful piece that will command attention wherever it is hung.

Note RE Gazo Cast Brass Pendulums: Several times each year we are contacted by people who have a Gazo clock that is that is missing its cast-brass pendulum, either from one of the smaller models (San Marcos, Coronado, Palo Alto, Ramona) or from one of the tallcase models with the angel bob. We took the bobs you see below to an antiquities casting professional who made molds of each. If you happen to be one of those people who need assistance with either of these two pendulums, please contact us directly. They are not inexpensive by any means, but are faithful copies of the real thing. Unfortunately, we have no practical way to replace ether the round, etched pendulum bobs, or etched or stamped weights.
