Lot 872		Cuckoo Clock. Early/mid 20th century cuckoo clock. "Made in Germany" sticker, "GK" manufacturer's mark. Inlaid decorative strips on front. This clock has sustained some damage in the past: part of "IX" is missing and there are some homemade repairs, but the beautiful inlay and the quality of the works overshadow the nicks, dings and cracks that would be easily disguised or repaired. Worth a look. Estimated Value $125 - 150. View details and enlarged photo	Realized $93
Lot 873		French Gilt Mantel Clock. Gilt bronze clock, porcelain face, blue Roman numerals. Elaborate portrayal of woman in early to mid 18th century costume posed next to urn. "F'cois Alard / A Paris" is printed on the face, which is missing its glass cover. We are not certain if the clock works and it needs to be cleaned, there is a small chip at one of the key holes and several pieces of ornamentation are loose, but this is quite a lovely decorative piece and any minor repairs would be worthwhile. "Clarissa" appears to be engraved inside the clock, possibly referring to Richardson's tragic heroine. Estimated Value $350 - 400. View details and enlarged photo	Realized $299
Lot 874		Withdrawn	Unsold
Lot 875		Seth Thomas Adamantine Shelf Clock. Circa 1915. Sonora Chime clock. 14" tall, 11" at widest part of base. Mahogany and dark tan colored adamantine with two pillars accented by brass bases and capitals. Chime works marked "90 D" and clock works marked "Made in U.S. America" and "80 M". Original pendulum. A good portion of the original paper label remains and pencil notations are visible inside the back cover. Case is very solid, with some finish wear to the adamantine and one small chip at top rear. The face needs to be cleaned and if there were brass rings around the winding holes, they are no longer present. We are unsure if the clock is still in running condition, however the works appear to be intact and merely in need of cleaning. Adamantine, a very popular veneer around the turn of the century, was used by clock makers to compete with the (much more expensive) French marble clocks that were steadily gaining popularity in the United States. In colors from black to dark green and shades of brown, adamantine veneer turned up on clocks, writing boxes and many other items. The adamantine combined with the very desirable Sonora Chime mechanism results in a highly collectible piece. Estimated Value $300 - 400. View details and enlarged photo	Realized $380
