INVEST IN HOROLOGY, BUY AND HOLD Steve Mullendore was born and grew up in Hagerstown, Maryland. He earned a degree from the Culinary Institute of America and, after serving in the Army, was hired by Saga Food Service. In the early 70s, he and his wife, Jeanne [a school teacher] moved to Ohio where he handled the food service operation at Kenyon College in Gambier. It was there in Ohio that Steve became friends with a fellow who belonged to NAWCC and collected antique clocks. His friend took him to an auction to hopefully buy a grandfather clock. Steve came home with four clocks - the beginning of what became a lifelong passion. When he moved up to District Manager for Saga, he was responsible for 17 different college food services in three states. As he traveled for his job, he was always on the lookout for clocks and had an uncanny knack of finding them. Once his daughter and son were born, Steve decided to leave college food service and became a Realtor, running his own agency. But the unending search for clocks continued. Steve’s wife was from Connecticut and the family would travel there to visit relatives. This was great clock hunting territory. On one trip, it was uncertain whether there would be enough room for the children, the luggage and newly found clocks in the car (luckily, everything fit). Steve has continued to attend clock shows and conventions, buying and selling clocks. He also enjoys classic cars, both American and European. Now retired from realty, he has had more time to enjoy his time-keepers, plus administer his 20 rental units and maintain the 22 acres surrounding their home in Gambier. Not to mention many civic organizations and that he was recently named Chairman of the Board of Peoples Bank in Gambier. As I condense this biography for the catalog, I am reminded that my own collecting started while working for Ford Motor Company in the 1960s, when my first supervisor took me to Schmidt’s Antiques in Ypsilanti, MI Like Steve, I began to travel for the company, and on weekends away from home I met many clock collectors and acquired many clocks. Also included in this catalog are over 100 clocks from the collection of the late Rose and George Brandt of upstate New York. This is only the first installment. Rose was an avid collector to the end of her 94 years, and although few clocks were acquired in the later years, she and George always enjoyed adding new and unusual items to their collection. We will include more details on her life in the next catalog. To sum up, it is in this collectors spirit of buying, holding and upgrading, without losing enthusiasm for clocks, that we dedicate this catalog to Steve Mullendore. Although he is downsizing, his continued interest in horology should be an inspiration to us all.

He was the embalmer of abolitionist John Brown, and an organizer of the New York State Undertakers Association. He also served as the treasurer and senior warden of the Third Masonic District, Brooklyn. The enameling on the cuvette confirms his Masonic connections. The watch is of very high quality, and unusual in that the only name found on it is that of Mr. Hopper. The watch movement is similar in design to watches manufactured by Tiffany & Co. during the late 19th century, and was probably ordered by Mr. Hopper through one of the prominent New York jewelers importing high quality Swiss work for sale in the United States. An exceptional watch with a very interesting history. $4000-$5000

Moseley Co. “Autograf ” Model 35 X-Y Recorder; Hewlett Packard, Moseley Division, Model 35A X-Y Recorder with accessories with ink; Hitachi Denshi, Ltd. Oscilloscope Model V-212/211, later 20th century Condition: we noted the following on-line information for the X-Y machines: “In 1951, the F.L. Moseley Co. was formed in a California garage to manufacture the first commercially available models of the x-y recorder, called the Autograf line. For scientists and engineers everywhere, the Moseley x-y recorder meant that a means for automatically recording the relationship between two variables was finally available. Friction to heat, vibration to velocity, current to voltage—whatever the variables, the Autograf made it possible to trace them on chart paper automatically, rather than tracking them by hand. In 1958, HP acquired the Pasadena, California-based F.L. Moseley, complementing its highly diversified line of measuring and signal-generating instruments. The association made it possible to further develop and improve the graphic recording instruments, which by then had become a standard in the industry, and to correlate uses and applications with many HP products.” The oscilloscope includes two leads and the operation manual. We have not tested these instruments; sold as is but appear complete and undamaged. Lot heavy and fragile for shipping.

It is still a question why the dial’s arched section was made separately and attached to the square dial below, however there is no evidence of re-work, and the pinned and bent brackets appear to have been there for over 200 years. The case has been refinished at some time, and some minor loose joints need attention. Lower left of dial is bent; can be straightened.

A mini grand daughter tall case with rocking ship and chiming Westminster chimes on the quarters, unsigned but surely from the workshop of Elmer Stennes of Weymouth, Mass, c1965 C ondition: the burled elm veneer has some losses at knots, filled in. The clock lived its life in the presence of a smoker and dial has gone from cream color to light brown. Movement is signed SMITHS, England, exactly as signed Stennes items from this period.

E. Howard & Co., Boston, “Regulator No. 12” wall clock, in original grained cherry case, now less bottom trim molding, and with a stand that allows it to be used as a floor clock, c1875 Condition: a simple molding may be restored to the bottom to keep it a wall clock, or it may be used with the later base. The original glass jar for the pendulum is gone, replaced with a red brass cylinder. There is no known source for this glass jar. Mirror in case back trim has been replaced. The top bezel had separated a bit and was filled and sanded rather than being carefully turned. Other than these items the clock is basically original, and will respond to restoration. This is one of Howard’s finest movements, complete, sound and properly signed; dead beat escapement and maintaining power. The original flat iron weight descends down the right side of the case, suspended from original pulley; weight hidden by a baffle which was removed for the photo.

1019.
E. Howard & Co., Boston, a custom regulator, probably a wall clock originally, now with a purpose made, matching base of mahogany, 8-day weight driven and with fancy decorated pendulum bob. Condition: the cabinet maker who made the base did a good job of matching the style, carvings and color, but left the grain a bit open. He also refinished the rear of both sections to blend his work. The top rear of the case retains its original wall hanging bracket [although many Howard floor clocks do have this bracket for additional stability] Our best appraisal of the case is that the main portion was made around 1925 and the base made around 1960. Movement is a large, high quality #1, winding at 3, seconds beating, and with dead beat escapement and maintaining power. Weight is iron with a cast in “1”. Runs robustly.

1034. English, London, 4-tune, musical bracket clock, Georgian era, with unusual serpentine dial and door by Will’m Challenner, triple fusee, playing on 11 bells with 14 hammers, retains original crown wheel/verge escapement, and with central calendar hand, c1760 Condition: this clock was formerly in the collection of the late Robert S. Rosen of Los Angeles. Around 40 years ago, the dial rings were sent for refinishing and got lost in the post and so new ones were ordered with a sketch of the information. Anyone who has ordered from Goodacre Engraving knows that whatever you write down, including style is what you will receive back, net result is that careful spelling and lettering of the tunes came back exactly as written on the paper, rather than in the style of the period. Similarly, a sketch of the chapter ring with calendar had the dates down with irregular spacing, and so it was made. If you can get past the need for better dial rings, what remains is quite wonderful, the clock playing 4 recognizable tunes at intervals and on request, the back plate very nicely engraved with foliate pattern, and the case with original caryatids and other trimmings, and the escapement has never been modified from the original. Tunes include GOD SAVE THE KING, RULE BRITA N N IA , EASTER H Y M N , & TARAS HALLS; Ht 27” $9000$12000

The dome has an 8” crack at one corner that has been glued over in an effort to stabilize it. The clock is mechanically sound, complete with chains intact, a nicely fretted dial and old hands.

These are an uncommon English table regulator, all by the same maker, unsigned. Pendulum has a distortion on one side from being dropped. Ht 18” $3000-$4000

English carved wall clock, 8 days, time and strike, spring driven, double fusee movement in a well carved oak case with removable hood, full carved and reeded columns flanking carved trunk door, nicely carved North Wind base and painted iron dial, c1890 Condition: this clock has been assembled from period parts including movement and case, which retains its original finish and has a very impressive look. There is some damage to trim and moldings. The pendulum stick has been broken near bob. The period hands are not original to the dial. Ht $1000-$1500
1131.
English mahogany barrel form 8 day, fusee spring brass movement wall clock or timepiece, c1815 The dial is signed “Smart”, who might possibly be Benjamin Smart a London clockmaker who worked from 1797-1818 located at 35 Firth Street. The two “ears” would suggest that this timepiece may have been built into some larger structure. There are three holes in the case at the six o’clock position that would suggest this timepiece was mounted onto a stand with three pins. Condition: Mahogany veneered case in nice condition with some splits and a raised area caused by differences in case construction. Original painted dial has some paint loss in the center area and in places on the outer edge. Hands are original. The small hand at 12 o’clock is for regulating the pendulum. Original heavy case bezel with a small lock. A very nice decorative heavy plate chain drive fusee movement. Ht $400-$600
1132. W. Holland, Rock Ferry, Birkenhead, English oak 8 day fusee time only wall clock, c1890 Condition: the solid oak case, with hinged doors on the sides and bottom, has been nicely refinished The signed painted metal dial has just minor wear, fading, and one small inpainted area, last 3 letter of Ferry gone.

F.W. Elliott, Croydon, England, Japanned wood 8 day time and strike small bracket clock, 1972 Condition: the Asian motif decorated case has just a few small worn areas, and the composite signed dial is fine. The heavy signed movement, number 11680, ticks and strikes but the balancewheel beat sounds like the platform needs attention. Strikes the half hours and a bottom bell. Ht to handle top 10.5” $300-$450
1134.
German, Lenzkirch, immense and ornate “Freischwinger” or free-swinger with pendulum open in bottom section, serial #824349, c1885 Condition: this clock is a Lenzkirch collectors dream. Was imported to the US in 1968 and has been in storage since. Both case and movement are dirty. Note movement mounting sets up on a block to bring dial flush with the door. Sometimes this indicates a marriage, but in this case it was done because of the extra deep case; there is no evidence of tampering. Not immediately evident in the movement are the dozens of decorative bronze castings, since they have all turned dark brown. In spite of having 3 major references on Lenzkirch, we could not find this exact case in a book (send us an email if you know the model) Charts of serial numbers vary quite a bit, but we can safely say that this is 4th quarter of 1800s. Thumbscrews for movement mount are lacking. Some nicks and scrapes to case commensurate with its age. With the many turnings and finial tips in bronze, this is a very heavy clock. We recommend blanket wrap delivery. Ht 52” $3000-$4000
1135. French picture clock, oil on canvas, 8 day time and strike movement by Chaumont, Paris, with 4-tune music box, c1880 Condition: this is a better-than-average example, with the clock face showing in the scene’s church steeple. The unsigned painting portrays a riverside village with a fisherman, etc., and has been nicely repaired long ago with a few patches on the reverse side. The signed thread-suspension movement strikes on a gong and also actuates the very nice sounding large music box mounted above which has selector switches accessed through a brass plate on the side of the case. One sticker lists the four tunes; the smaller round one advertises a clockmaker in Brugge. We were able to produce a slow melody, but service will be needed on both movements, and their linkages. The frame has its gilding mostly intact, and measures 22” x 27” $2000-$3000
1136. Swiss, with French spring wound pendulum movement, castle style automaton, with monkey appearing as a conductor, moving his arm to indicate the striking of the gong; c1875 Condition: this clock was most likely carved in the Interlaken area, a region well known for carved cases, both figural and architectural. The exterior of the case is incised to simulate brick, the top cut to simulate shingles and the dial flanked by Corinthian columns with gilt metal trimmings. The steeple does separate from the main case for service of the “monkey linkage”. There are some missing bits of brass trim and some nicks and scrapes to the case; front panel with dry split, all commensurate with its’ age. The well made French time and strike movement goes for 8+ days; although it ticks and tries to strike, it would benefit from service. The gilt dial with cartouche numerals is exceptional and very clean. The linkage to the monkey’s arm, with counterweight, needs adjusting. Overall an interesting clock for the novelty collector. Ht 44” $2000-$3000
1137. Austrian Gebruder Resch, 3-weight Grand Sonnerie wall clock, extra large, with profuse carvings and extra moldings, serial #100000--66384, dial with retailers name = Johann Greiner, Graz, c1880 Condition: overall excellent condition. all numbers match on mounting bracket movement and pendulum. Note that this case is extra deep, and a one inch block is used to space the movement out from the back board, however there is no bracket of later tampering. Pattern on weights, pendulum and dial is etched in, not engraved, and the scrolling pattern on pendulum and weights does not quite match the leafy pattern on the dial center. The case features a large dentil treatment above dial, and a well pendulum female bust at top. Dial is flanked by two full round and reeded columns, and surrounded by a deeply carved bezel, the lower pendulum of this double door design with well detailed pilasters. Very heavy door is held in place by pendulum robust lock and original key. This one of a kind case was likely commissioned to match a set of dining room furniture. This clock weights approx 65 pounds and we suggest a stronger wall wall hanger. Ht 64” $2000-$2500
1138. Laterndluhr, Vienna, 8-day time and strike period movement in a modern inlaid walnut or mahogany 9-light hanging case. Condition: this is a well-made detailed case in excellent condition (an original would be many times more costly). The movement is c1880 with a pristine porcelain dial, brass weights with a few small dents and tarnish, and brass pendulum with slight tarnish. The two movement holddown bolts are absent, so the movement is loose in the case, but these are easily replaced. Very fragile for shipping. Ht 34” $1500-$2500 1139. Austrian, bench made, 3-weight “Vienna Regulator” in an ebonized case with mother of pearl and brass inlay, serial # 65831, c1895 Condition: there are some scrapes on the ebonizing, and some corner wear commensurate with the age of this item. Well made movement is complete and sound, and still with strike shut off intact. Pulleys match. Art Nouveau decorations applied to dial center, pendulum and weights, not an exact match, but of the same style. Impressive, and all of the inlay is intact. Note the case will need a new rear hanger for safety.. Ht: 57” $1750-$2250 1140.
Dutch Stoelklok, painted wood and cast metal time and strike wall clock, 30 hour weight driven, c1790 Condition: this old decorative clock is in as-found condition, ready for restoration. The soft metal castings are bent and separated in places, and the finish has darkened over the hand painting. The posted movement has its chain and pulley but will need a proper weight and pendulum. Ht 26” $1500-$2000
1141. Austrian, Josef Timmel in Wien, 2nd Baroque style “Vienna Regulator”, 3-weight, grand sonnerie, c1890 Condition: has not been serviced and needs cleaning & stringing, however is in very good original condition. This movement is of exceptional quality, bench made to Austrian standards; pendulum bob is cast full of lead, and with matched 5 star pulleys. Beat scale is perfect, as is dial. This case is also with outstanding detail and finish. Ht 45” $1000-$1500 1142. F. Kroeber, New York, “Vienna regulator No. 0” walnut time only weight driven wall clock, c1875 Condition: this rare small model has been nicely refinished some time ago, there are some minor age splits, and the ebonized turnings are fine. The unsigned numbered movement probably is German. The porcelain dial has a tiny chip on the edge of the inner disk, and the beat scale has some cracks. The brass pendulum and weight have an old patina, the weight shell has small dents at the top. The lower stabilizers are present, but not their pointed screws. The glass is wavy. Ht 32” $1000-$1500 1143. German, Lenzkirch extra large dark oak cartel or Gutsherrenuhr 14 day, gong strike, with fancy square brass dial, serial #88790, c1865 Condition: finely detailed case retains an old, if not original finish, worn on some high spots. The movement needs cleaning; has some very minor surface rust. Has a strong Lenzkirch trademark on the rear plate. Very top finial replaced (inside case after photo balance all appear original. Lots of look for the money. Other Gutsherrenuhr can be found in the book titled “150 Jahre Lenzkircher Uhren”, a good overall Lenzkircher for Lenzkirch collectors. Ht 39” $900-$1400
1144. Japanese, double
foliot lantern clock, large, “Nicho Tenpu Yaguradokei”, 30 hour, steel framed movement with tooled brass covers, now on a purpose made wall bracket and with later weights Condition: although the wall bracket and weights are modern, the clock itself is otherwise c1790 and in very good original condition. Small dent in dial. Larger lanterns like this [16” ht] often occur on a floor base, which may be a simple trapezoid paneled affair, or open with delicate curved legs. For centuries, the japanese divided the day into 6 daylight hours and 6 night time hours, and their clocks designed to vary the length of each hour to correspond with the daylight offered by the sun. The work day and study day were thus longer in the summer and shorter in the winter. Levers within the movement rise to change from the small foliot to the large foliot, and every few days the little weights on the foliot are adjusted manually outward or inward to change the length of the hours. Small alarm weight and rope are lacking. From the collection of the late Rose Brandt. $900-$1200
1145.

One small side molding piece is detached but inside the case. The original crest has been nailed into position. The fancy metal dial matches the pattern on the weight, pulleys, and pendulum bob, but one of the weights is absent. The cast brass beat scale also is fancy and old. Both glasses are modern, held by glazier points. The signed Medaille D’Or movement, number 92153, does its quarter hours, but needs adjustment. Ht 49” $700-$1100
1146.

The Story of Louis Audemars & Cie Master Watchmakers of Le Brassus, Switzerland, 1811 - 1885 This new book brings an additional perspective to the history of this great watchmaking company. In 1922 the grandson of the founder (who had worked in the business and was present at the liquidation) wrote a history of the Company and an account of his personal reminiscences, which was never published. His words have now been translated into English, with appendices and notes, by his great-grandson, Paul Audemars. The book also contains a wealth of new material and illustration which has only been discovered in recent years. The book will be available from June 2013 but pre-print-run orders can be reserved (without immediate payment) through our web site at a discounted rate. The first 100 copies will be numbered and signed. Books ordered through our web site will be accompanied by a free printout of all the now known Louis Audemars movement and watch serial numbers. For more details, or to place your order, please visit www.audemars.co.uk Published (2013, ISBN No 978-0-9575596-0-8) by Paul Audemars, Somerset, UK, TA11 7AQ,
