C.1880, Juvet Time Globe, 18 inches.
Patented by Lewis Paul Juvet of Glens Falls, New York a few years before it was finally manufactured by James Arkell and A. G. Richmond in Canojoharie, NY around 1880. Although the diameter of the globe is larger and the stand taller and heavier, the overall construction of this globe clock is the same as the 12 inches. This is about the nicest Juvet I have had the privilege of examining, and I would rate the condition of the globe and frame as excellent; the only items to mention are a discolored equator time ring, and minor touch up on the globe. Mr. Cooperman was proud of both of these Juvets. Bidders on this and previous lot are encouraged to refer to the Meraux sale at Sothebys, June 28, 1993, lot 224 (12 inches GLOBE) which sold for a total of $19,550; also NAWCC article in 1976, by G. A. Marsh. This very clock is pictured in Dworetsky's Horology Americana, page 177. Height 51 inches
