We saw a guy about a dog (clock)

Well, okay, maybe not a dog (we still have three) but we did see a guy about some clocks. We ran up to

Loveland to see George and his brother Bob about a clock. George is a well known auctioneer and has amassed quite the personal collection of "stuff" some pretty amazing stuff. In the end we walked out with 8 clocks and a stained glass lamp (a real one not a reproduction, not a Tiffany though).

I haven't delved into the specifics on this one yet but it is an Ansonia Calendar Regulator wall clock.

This is a porcelain Gilbert clock, the "Romance" model. Needs a new pendulum and the metal back plat is missing, that might be tough to come up with but I'll try. The mechanism looks to have been serviced within the last 20 years and at first glance (without taking it apart) the work looks pretty good.

Another porcelain clock. I think this is a Gilbert but I'm not sure yet. I haven't found any identifying markings at this point.

This is a New Haven "Liffey" clock circa 1882. It has an Elbe pendulum which allows fine adjustment to just how fast or slow the clock runs. Someone applied a finish to it at some point or it has a lot of was build up so there is definitely a lot of restoration work to come on the case.

An Ingraham clock, the case needs a little love and I haven't looked at the inside yet. I think the pendulum is missing.

This is a neat find, although not the best example, of an advertising wall clock. Its by Baird and I doubt that I'll be able to find out much about it. I'm not sure it runs but we will find out. 

This is definitely a Gilbert! Don't know which model yet but looking forward to the research.

The one clock not picture is an Ansonia "Bee" which is a small 3" one day clock (you have to wind it everyday). Not sure of the date of manufacture it was patented in 1878 but they made these up through the 1930s. It also came with the shipping tin (ours is blue) which is in pretty good shape, better than a lot of the ones I have seen. The little clock is in fabulous shape, a few scratches on the back and that's about it. Bright and shiny!

I'll have to get a picture of the stained glass lamp but its very pretty and very, very heavy.
