Seth Thomas Sonora Chime Mantle Clock

$1,600.00

Combining visual beauty and lovely sound one would choose a Seth Thomas Sonora Chime clock as their goal.  Personally I find the Sonora chime to be the most beautiful sound a clock can make.  The movement rings on the quarter hours on a nest of four bells and plays Westminster chimes.  The case is made from a veneer called Adamantine, it has a beautiful rosewood looking finish.  It is a larger mantle clock measuring 13.25” tall and 11.5” wide.  Please, if you are interested, call us to hear the clock play, you will be smitten by the sound.

Ignatz or Flying Ball Clock

$625.00  * This items is not included in any sale

It has been called the "Craziest Clock in the World."  I would agree!  This is a modern reproduction (1960) of a Flying Ball Clock.  There is a little ball that flies around on a string between the 2 posts on the top of the clock. The case is wood with brass accents. It is one day clock that must be wound with a key in the back.

Waterbury Cathedral Clock

 After the restoration process has taken place for this clock it has quickly moved up my list of “favorite clocks” in our inventory.   The case is mahogany and is a deep redish color.  The feet and bezel are highly polished brass and the dial is a perfectly worn contrast to the bright brass and clear glass.  The movement is an 8 day time and strike.  The hour is counted out by a great sounding gong and the half hour is signaled by a bell.  The clock measures 12” tall and 9” wide.

Gilbert “Argus”

SOLD

 This clock is a classic design of the Gilbert clock company.  Deemed to be a parlor clock it is quite lovely in design and dignity.  The clock has a standard eight day time and strike movement that hits on a spiral gong.  My favorite part of the this clock is beautiful design on the glass door.
