EBay Auction
ONCE AGAIN, WE ARE SELLING A BARN-FIND CLOCK FROM DAD’S COLLECTION OF ANTIQUE AD CLOCKS. ALTHOUGH WE ARE NOT EXPERTS ON THE SUBJECT,THOSE WHO ARE, SAY THAT THIS CLOCK IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT DISCOVERIES OF THIS TYPE OF CLOCK, IN RECENT HISTORY. WE HAVE HAD COLLECTORS AND IMPORTANT EAST COAST AUCTION HOUSES TRY TO PURCHASE ALL OF THE CLOCKS OR SELL THROUGH THEIR AUCTION HOUSE. WHILE WE ARE HONORED BY THESE MANY OFFERS,WE WOULD RATHER SELL THEM ONE AT A TIME AS WE DIG THEM OUT AND DUST THEM OFF. THE LAST CLOCK SOLD FOR NEARLY FIVE THOUSAND AND WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS CLOCK SHOULD BRING WAY OVER TEN THOUSAND.
THIS CLOCK HAS SEVERAL LABELS THAT LEAD US TO BELIEVE THAT IT CAME FROM FROM A CIGAR OR GENERAL STORE IN NEW YORK CITY.IT HAS BEEN WELL PRESERVED AND SEEMS TO US TO HAVE THE ORIGINAL FINISH .THE EXPERTS CAN’T SEEM TO FIND ANOTHER SURVIVING EXAMPLE OF THIS CLOCK ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD WHICH LEADS US TO BELIEVE,THAT THIS IS A ONE OF A KIND WORK OF ADVERTISING ART.WE HAVE ALREADY TURNED DOWN SOME OBSCENE OFFERS TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO OWN A UNIQUE PIECE OF AMERICANA.
Red Devil with Cataract Eyes and Horns on the Lid, German Humidor/Jar. 6.5” x 5” x 5.5”. Early 20th Century.
