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. The movement is contained with the globe and rides on the axis shaft. It is wound by turning the tail feathers of the arrow. The equatorial time ring retains it's original paper dial (with wear), marked 2 x 12 hours for indicating world time. The movement has been serviced on this clock and it is running briskly. The globe itself has some stains, discoloration and small losses; professional restoration is available through the George Glazer Gallery in New York City, (see internet georgeglazer.com for contact info) Bidders on this lot are encouraged to refer to the Sotheby's Sale, June 19, 2002, lot 157, an 18 inch Juvet sold for a total of 26,887 dollars; also NAWCC Bulletin article in 1976, by G.
