Antique American Clocks
Boston Clock Co. black marble tandem-wind mantel clock, 1884-1894.
I cannot find a model name for
this clock.
The slate case is 9 inches tall by 14 inches wide with a dull finish but no chips or cracks.
There are colored
marble inserts on the sides of the front and in a diamond on the base; there also are gilded incisings with good color.
decorated porcelain dial is marked "_ Stowell & Co." with wear to the lettering; there is a large opening to view the platform
lever movement.
The bezel holds a flat beveled glass.
The 8-day time and half-hour strike movement is signed and running,
striking on cue; it uses the BCC signature tandem wind mechanism where you wind both the time-and-strike by turning the key in opposite
directions.
A very nice example and likely a good timekeeper.
Similar models have sold of late for $100-$200.
