Antique American Clocks
John Kirk miniature time-piece with alarm, 1831-1833.
A second miniature column & splat
time and alarm clock, 22 inches tall in good original condition.
John Kirk was the brother of Charles Kirke, who gained greater
success in clockmaking; John appears to have made clocks for only two years.
The mahogany veneer has had a few repairs but is
in good, slightly dirty condition; the splat is original, the columns may have been repainted.
Both glasses are period, but
the putty makes me think they are replacements.
I like the guy riding the horse in the tablet.
The wooden dial is very
nice, one of the better-preserved ones you will find; the hands are period.
The wooden movement is not running; there is one
30-hour weight for the time side, the alarm side probably uses a 30-hour weight as well.
No pendulum bob.
A good but rather
uninformative label inside.
I cannot find any sales records for John Kirk.
$500-$1000.
