Floor Standing Clocks

Jewelers Regulator Clock (Floor Standing Custom Built Solid Oak Case.) Rare and Impressive Collectors Item!
(Circa 1880s)

1880s Jewelers Wall Regulator - Custom Built Solid Oak Case.jpg (120609 bytes)

This is a one-of-a-kind and rare Jewelers Regulator Clock.  The dial, bezel, movement, temperature compensating pendulum and weight are all original (from the 1880s.)  The impressive and fantastic woodworking craftsmanship of its custom made solid oak floor standing case make this clock a highly attractive collectors piece. The case measures 72-1/2" high x 9" deep x 19-1/4" wide.

The 11-1/2" diameter porcelain Dial is surrounded by a heavy brass bezel which is 14" in diameter. The grid type temperature compensating pendulum with its huge brass pendulum bob (14" in diameter) is very heavy (approx. 34 lbs.)  The single brass weight is approx. 11 lbs. Typically, these fine and rare clocks were extremely accurate to within a few seconds a month, and were hung, or stood, in jeweler's shops, train stations, or banks and acted as the public time piece to set watches and other clocks by.

From the best of my ability at researching this item I believe that the movement is of French origin.

I'll be posting more pictures and information as I get them.

This is my "Grandmother's Clock," that I purchased from a fellow NAWCC member in May of 2003.  It features a nice moon phase dial (29 1/2 days) with views of a Clipper Ship under full sail at sea, a windmill scene and, of course, a full moon face. It is made from real nice Oak wood and has some ornate decorations. The chimes work on the quarter hour, half hour, three quarter hour and full hour (and at the top of the hour the clock also dongs the number of times for the hour of the day.) It stands 6'-4" tall (from the bottom to the top of the finial) and is 16" wide and 10" deep. There are 3 weights that work on an 8 day cycle that wind the German movement. The sounds and looks of this clock have really "spiced" up my house.

Shelf Clocks

Seth Thomas movement with a very interesting and detailed "custom" case with all the original glass and the original dial (the workmanship on the case is extraordinary.) It is a 1 day wind that strikes on the hour every hour (circa 1890s)

The story I got from the original owner (a watch and clock maker of over 50 years) was that he repaired a very old Grandfather clock for a friend, in the late Seventies, and as a favor the friend (who was a cabinet maker) decided to make this custom cabinet for him (the original case was damaged.) The workmanship on this clock case is outstanding. It is made from solid mahogany and cabinet grade mahogany veneer. The cabinet maker used all the original parts from the clock (clock works, pendulum, weights the original winding key, and even the original glass panels.) In addition to the custom case I was especially drawn to this piece because of the portrait of Andrew Jackson that is embossed on the bottom glass panel and in fantastic condition. The original Seth Thomas clock dates to the late 1800s. The case measures 25 3/4" high by 15 1/4" wide by 4 1/4" deep.

Fully Restored Gilbert 1907 Mission Wall Clock

Here is a fully restored Gilbert Mission Oak Gallery Wall Clock. It measures 28 inches long and 16 inches wide, having an 11 inch individually applied Arabic brass numeral dial. The brass bob pendulum swings freely outside the bottom of the case and the finish on this piece is really beautiful. The movement is an eight day signed Gilbert, with its trademark and date of 1907. Note that it strikes on the hour on a coiled mellow gong, and the half hour on a bell. It is fully restored, and ready to hang in your home. I acquired it from a collector who owned this clock for many years.

Westclox - Black Walnut Electric Alarm Clock - 40s Dial Close Up View.jpg (124934 bytes)     Westclox - Black Walnut Electric Alarm Clock - 40s Full View.jpg (285887 bytes)

WESTCLOX electic alarm clock. Case is solid, not veneer, black walnut and has a few tiny dings. It has brass feet with red felt pads. The dial is ivory and gold in color. The hands are black. Sweep second hand is gold. Crystal is smooth and clear. The little circle under the twelve is where the alarm time is displayed. There is a winding key in the back - this is for the alarm. Runs smooth and quiet, keeping good time. Just cleaned and oiled. All original, and the cord and plug appear to be a replacement for the original. The plug is split in a way to allow the pins to line up with the holes. Would guesstimate this clock to be from the 1940's. Measures overall 5 1/4" tall by 5 3/4 wide, and 2 3/4" thick.
