E. Ingraham mantle clock, one of their "Lake Line" series, this one called, "Oneida", ca 1915.
8-day movement strikes half hours on a coil gong, and alarms on a bell. 22 inches high oak case, original but crusty with all the finishes applied since 1915, varnish and who knows what else. The clock is original and complete, with old glass, dial, pendulum, alarm, etc. If you like to spend your time fixing up old clocks, this one is for you. I didn't try to make it run, just too dirty. Ly-Ingraham No. 1049.
Seth Thomas rare mantle clock, "Hecla", ca 1884.
This unusual clock with its twin, "Atlas", uses a movement that strikes quarter hours on two cup bells (Bim Bam), and hours on a Cathedral Gong.22.5 inches high case is made of walnut, some burl used, full turned columns with deep carving-etchings, same on the base and top. Carvings also used on the top. The clock has been used, not placed on the living room mantle just for show. It has not been abused but does have nicks and slivers on the base and top. You only see them on close inspection.
Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Co. "Concord" (per the label) ca 1895.
24 inches oak case is near perfect, everything is original, 8 day, strike and alarm, running. A house painter repainted the old dial, otherwise both clocks are near perfect. The bases are different, Right is 1 inches taller, the size of the movement box varies by .25 inches, labels are different, and the glasses were never on the same model clock twice. I do not get many calls for oak kitchen clocks, but I will say this, we have never had two nicer or more original than these. Ly- Gilbert No. 1191.
Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Co. "Concord No. 3", (per the label) ca1895.
23 inches oak case is near perfect, everything original, 8 day strike and alarm, running. The bottom side pieces may look slightly lighter than other parts of the case but they are the same color. Must be the camera flash.
Sessions Clock Co. kitchen clock, Grand No. 2, Ca.1915.
The movement is 8 day, strikes a coil gong and is a very strong runner. You have probably noticed the clocks one glaring fault, no side panels. It stands 23 inches high, it is clean, has the original glass, dial, and a correct but replaced pendulum. The pressed wood case has a couple of hidden birds or chicken heads, on the top. Ly-Sessions No. 546.
Waterbury Clock Company, miniature walnut parlor clock, the "Corona", ca 1890.
Stands only 17 inches high, complete and original throughout, two label on the back, special pendulum with a slow-fast adjuster, glass near perfect, original key, and original dial and hands. Movement runs one day and strikes a coil gong each hour. We do not get 110-year-old clocks any nicer than this one. Ly-Waterbury No. 1702.
E.N. Welch Clock Co. mantle clock, "Admiral Dewey", ca 1900.
This is one of six clocks in their "Commerative" series. Many collectors have been searching for years to find certain clocks to complete their collection. This clock is the least difficult of the six. The set is identical except for the embossed heads at the top of the cases. They are all pressed oak, 24 inches high, have 6- inch dials, 8-day movements, and half hour strike. Some came with alarms as this one did. This clock is complete, no repairs or damage, and all original. Ly-Welch, pages 197-199.

Oak case is 23 inches high, basically original and untouched, maybe has a small veneer chip in a place or two. It has a new paper dial on the old pan, pendulum is correct, clock is running.
