- RARE AND IMPORTANT CHARLESTON BRACKET
RARE AND IMPORTANT CHARLESTON BRACKET CLOCK18th century, the painted dial marked "Wm. Lee/CharlesTown" with Roman numerals, set in mahogany case with pierced fretwork atop fabric backing, hinged brass handle over arched top, all over four claw feet, hinged glass doors opening to works and dial, with pendulum and key, 17 x 11-1/2 x 6-1/2 in.
Provenance: Property from Historic Dean Hall Plantation, South Carolina
Note: According to Mesda's research, "William Lee, whose name is engraved on the clock's dial, was typical of the merchants who imported, sold, and serviced clocks. William Lee completed his apprenticeship in Charleston to Joshua Lockwood and began advertising in the Charleston newspapers in 1768. In the early 1770s his former master recommended him to the vestry at St. Michael's Church as "a journeyman very capable of taking care of the clock" while he (Lockwood) was abroad in England. The vestry was apparently very satisfied with Lee, giving him the position permanently, as well as £20 more per year than they had been paying Lockwood.
In 1769 "William Lee, Clock and Watch-maker" married "Miss Anne Theus, Daughter of Mr. Jeremiah Theus." Anne's portrait, by her father, is in the MESDA collection (acc. 1179). William Lee died in 1804 leaving a sizeable estate worth more than $2,000.
The movement has not been tested for accuracy and Brunk Auctions makes no warranty or guarantee whatsoever regarding that any clock or watch is in working order.
Condition:
some flaking and loss to painted dial, solder repair to hinge on front door, panel with handle on top slightly loose, small crack to fretwork decoration in lower left on front

- 1905 ELGIN GRADE 306 14K GOLD FILLED
1905 ELGIN GRADE 306 14K GOLD FILLED POCKET WATCHFor your consideration is this 1905 Elgin Grade 306 pocket watch with a Bates And Bacon 14k gold filled case circa 1905. In 1864, the Elgin National Watch Company was established in Elgin, Illinois, as an American watch manufacturer. The business was renowned for its innovation and accuracy, using cutting-edge manufacturing processes to create dependable timepieces. Initially, Elgin concentrated on making pocket watches because they were in high demand. Elgin watches were created in a variety of looks and patterns to suit different tastes and preferences. Elgin increased its operations and started making wristwatches as the demand for them increased in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Sadly, in 1968 the Elgin National Watch Company stopped making watches, and in 1969 it was formally dissolved. The serial number inscribed alongside the movement is numbered, "11798006" indicating it was made in 1905. The pocket watch is a grade 306, model 7, 15 jewel and size 16s and shows a nickel movement finish and a bridge plate. The watch is not railroad graded. The pocket watch is set in a Bates and Bacon 20 year guarantee 14k gold filled case and is marked with the serial number, "3162631". George Bacon and Joseph M. Bates founded Bates & Bacon in 1867 with the intention of specializing in the production of rolled gold-plated jewelry and bracelets. In 1882, the business started producing watch cases by releasing a patented snap-bezel concept. Following some commercial success, the company built a factory in Attleboro, Massachusetts, in 1884. The business unveiled the well-known "Royal" 14K gold-filled case in 1894. At this point, advertisements stopped using the "Gem" grade. Bates passed away in 1905. After his father passed away, Charles, Joseph's son, took over management of the factory. The watch is not in working order. The watch shows good condition overall with some wear on the back and face of the watch but no obvious signs of damage are noted. The watch measures 2" in diameter and 2 1/2" in height. The watch weighs 90.4 grams.
