Reproduction Simon Willard Lighthouse Clock-Weight Driven w/ Passing Strike
SOLD $3,950.00 Sold: Dec 26, 2023 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
eBay Rarely up for sale in the clock collector market and for your bidding consideration, is this Reproduction Simon Willard Lighthouse Clock. It has an 8 day weight driven passing strike movement. This fine Willard reproduction stands 33.5 inches tall with the glass dome in place and 9" in diameter. There is a brass tag on the rear access door that states "Simon Roxbury Willard". The lighthouse clock is made of a mahogany veneered case in three sections with an eight-sided base. It has an applied gilded ormolu wreath and applied center Caduceus (appears to be) and removable back door on 4 wooden ball feet. The clock is in overall excellent condition and is running and keeping time properly. As with any weight driven or mechanical movements, it is being sold as is with the understanding that the movement may need adjusting after a move. Being a collector of clocks for 30+ years, I've rarely had to adjust the weight driven movements after being moved. Careful handling and care should avoid that possibility. I am unsure of the year the clock was made but I'm going to date it to the late 1970's/1980's. If any of my fellow collectors have a better idea on its age, please email me and I'll update if necessary. It's not often that a reproduction weight driven Simon Willard lighthouse clock comes onto the market. When you consider that a real deal Simon Willard Lighthouse clock sells in the 10s of thousands of dollars, this is a great affordable alternative for the discerning collector. Successful buyer is responsible for paying for and arranging safe insured shipping of this clock from my location to theirs. Will work with the buyer with their shipping arrangements. This is a fine and quality weight driven lighthouse clock for the avid collector out there. Payment in full must be made prior to release of the clock. Thanks and please take a moment to view my other auctions. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
