New England Clock Co. cigar box clock, ca. 1851. An 11-inch case with walnut veneer on the sides and rosewood veneer on the front. The glass is period/original and has the traditional decalcomania pattern, backed in green. The image has been rebacked, and the pattern itself may also be a replacement. The signed dial is original with chipping and losses, the hands likely original. This clock has an unusual 1-day, time-and-alarm movement with the alarm winding at the bottom of the dial; it strikes on the large iron bell. The alarm spring is brass. The clock is running vigorously, the alarm was not tested. There is a good label from Bristol on the back wall. I have not seen one of these clocks with an alarm before, but I found two sales records, the most recent at Cottone’s in 2017 for $425. $350–500.
