Antique American Clocks
New Haven Clock Co. "Adige", ca. 1886.
A rare and unusual clock from New Haven with an open
well and an intricately carved walnut case, 22 inches tall.
The finish is newer; the finials on top are incorrect replacements.
There also should be a carved panel at the base; oh well.
The dial glass is old, but probably not original; the metal dial has
been repainted and blistered by efforts to solder the dial into the bezel.
The 8-day, time and half-hour strike movement is
It is running without problem, striking on a cathedral gong and regulated by an ornate New Haven pendulum that I believe
was used only on this clock.
This is an attractive clock even with the substitute finials and missing base panel.
two sales that I can find, most recently at Cottone's in 2014 for $700.
Viewing on a smart phone? Turn it sideways!
