Two “cigar box” clocks, ca. 1850. The one on the left (A) is by the New England Clock Co. and is 11 inches tall with mahogany and rosewood veneer; the one on the right (B) is by M.W. Atkins & Co. and is 11.5 inches tall, also with rosewood (or walnut) and mahogany veneer. Note that B has at top piece and base, whereas A is a simple box. Both glasses are old but the decalcomania tablets have likely been rebacked. The dial on A has been repainted, the hands are period; the dial paint on B is likely original, as are the hands. Both dials are slightly contoured. The NECC clock (A) contains an unsigned 30-hour, time-only movement typical of these clocks; the Atkins clock (B) holds an unusual and unsigned round 30-hour, time-only movement. Both are running strongly. There are readable labels in both clocks. Very collectable clocks that take up little space and look good anywhere, typically selling for around $400. Indicate on your bid sheet which one you are bidding on (A or B). $300–$500.
