Antique New Haven Clock Price Type: auction |

Catalog Description: New Haven Clock Co., "Admiral", ca 1900. Almost as large as the Ansonia General and Colonel, and was made to compete with those big clocks and other large wall regulators. It is 62 inches high, and may well be the most handsome New Haven clock we have seen. The case is bird's eye maple, extremely eye catching and clean throughout. We have also seen the clock made of ash veneer which is almost as pretty. The movement is a double spring, 30 day time, specialmovement available on some of their better wall clocks. I got the clockwith a collection of other nice clocks from an owner who had cherished itfor several years. The 18 inch dial has been expertly repainted, the brass polished, movement cleaned and regulated to keep accurate time. It is difficult to describe the rolls, bevels, and layers of the wood, and the picture will not adequately disclose it either. Most noticeable and interesting is the beveling of the wood around the dial and base. The bow ties below the octagon top are slightly different than pictures in some catalogs, but we see this all the time. Schmitt's Auction sold an Admiral identical to ours, at their November 2002 auction for $5720. This is sure a beautiful and collectable clock. Ly-New Haven No. 539 and 544. |
