A VERY RARE BOSTON FEDERAL SIMON
A VERY RARE BOSTON FEDERAL SIMON WILLARD PAINT DECORATE...Roxbury, Massachusetts, circa 1818-1819, dial signed "Simon Willard", two inked paper labels at case interior inscribed "Simon Willard/for/William Saunders/1826" and "William Saunders. 1826/William A. Saunders. 1872", painted iron dial with Roman numerals and original moon style hands set in brass bezel and frame with open sides exposing works, eight day brass movement, arch top brass movement plates surmounted by silvered false bell with fire gilt brass ball finial and brass ring, on removable brass plate with green velvet lining, situated atop a tapered cylindrical base with lower cove molding decorated in black, red, and gold paint, on painted square base with hinged front door opening to pendulum and weight, on ball feet, with blown glass dome cover, pendulum, weight, and winder key, 29-1/2 x 9 x 8 in.
Note: Painted examples of the form are exceptionally rare, and this lighthouse clock is further distinguished by its fine condition, surviving with its original glass dome and brass feet.
The accompanying write up from Milly McGehee notes: "The painted case with iron dial and lower rectangular base places this example among a small group of Willard lighthouse clocks made prior to 1820. Simon Willard received a patent for these "patent alarm timepieces" in December of 1819. Most known examples made after that date have enamel (rather than painted) dials and are signed "Patent." Most patent examples also have un-painted mahogany cases with octagonal or circular bases. The early features of this example indicate it was made prior to the patent and circa 1818-1819."
Only a handful of painted examples are known to survive. The only other painted example sold publicly that is known to us sold Sotheby’s, Jan-
uary 1997 for $744,000. This example is illustrated in Albert Sack, New Fine Points of Furniture , pages 131 and 146, where it is listed as a “Masterpiece”.

Condition:
In very fine state of preservation and retaining its original paint and glass dome. Original glass domes are a great rarity, and this example has been used as the basis to create replacement domes for other examples. Conservation by Gary R. Sullivan Antiques Inc. (accompanied by invoice and condition report dated April 1, 2004, which notes various minor repairs and restorations). Also with photographs and letter from Robert Mussey Associates, Inc., dated June 15, 2004; some surface dirt and accretion, case with scattered flaking, crackle, and expected minor losses to paint throughout, dial paint with crackle and small area of loss, not tested for functionality; Retaining its original glass globe and accompanied by an additional modern travel globe.

VERY FINE SIMON WILLARD FEDERAL
VERY FINE SIMON WILLARD FEDERAL INLAID BANJO CLOCKBoston, ca. 1805, attributed to the shop of John and Thomas Seymour, with gilt finial over circular white painted dial, with Roman chapter ring, original throat and base eglomise panels with fine painting and gilding, the lower panel inscribed "S. Willard's," 33 x 10 x 3-1/2 in.
Note: Accompanied by a Milly McGehee invoice with extensive notes from Robert Mussey outlining the quality and rarity of this example.
McGehee notes record that Mussey "considers this clock one of the four or five finest of this early patent timepiece he has encountered. The clock retains all of its original eglomise painting on both the throat and lower case glass panels; additionally, the white painted dial numerals are original."
Condition:
very fine condition overall. Fragile dial paint with crackle and scattered retouch and some small losses. The McGehee invoice records that the works have had only minor typical repairs such as the replacement of bushings. The brass finial is period but probably not the original. The repairs to the case are also minor. They include: the side of the case near the latch, small holes in the bottom board where perhaps a support bracket existed at some point, a replaced door latch, repairs to the top rear of the frame of the throat glass, and two small glue blocks on the inside. The works were cleaned and oiled and other minor conservation executed by Robert Mussey.
The 2 holes in the front of the movement were added by a clock repairman in order to view the functioning of the escapement. Some small screws have been added to secure the backboard to the drum head and sides.

ELNATHAN TABER TALL CASE CLOCK.
ELNATHAN TABER TALL CASE CLOCK. EARLY 19THcentury. Elnathan Taber Grandfather clock. (1768-1854) Apprenticed under Simon Willard. Roxbury, MA. Circa 1790-1810. Inlaid mahogany case. Brass finials, later eagle finial, cutout fretwork, tombstone shaped glass door, reeded columns with brass fluting. Iron painted dial with moon phase calendar movement. Signed on dial. The throat of the clock has inlaid fans, band inlay, and crotch mahogany panel, fluted quarter columns with brass stock flutes. The base has fan inlay with banding ending in an ogee bracket foot. Old finished condition. 88 1/2" tall, 19" wide, 9 1/2" deep. Currently working but not guaranteed. From a Duxbury, MA family. Elnathan Taber was born in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, on February 14, 1768, and may have died in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, on February 27, 1854, at the age of 86. His grave was moved from Dartmouth to Forest Hills Cemetery in Jamaica Plain on October 29, 1870. His parents were Thomas and Elizabeth (Swift) Taber. Elnathan is the older brother of Stephen Taber, whose fortune helped found Tabor Academy in Marion, MA. Both brothers traveled to Roxbury and were trained as clockmakers by the Willards. Elnathan was just 16. After serving his apprenticeship, Elnathan stayed and worked in Roxbury. His shop was located on Union Street. Union Street was renamed Taber Street in April 1868 in his honor. He was the first resident of that street. William Cummens also moved there and set up shop at the corner of Winslow. This short street was between Warren Street and Winslow Street. Elnathan maintained a close working relationship with his mentor Simon and became one of his most famous apprentices. He was authorized by Simon to make his patent timepieces during the patent period. He was also a prolific repairman. His name can be found engraved on numerous Boston area-made clocks as a service record. Elnathan married Catherine Partridge in January 1797. They had four children between the years of 1797 and 1811. Catherine had three sisters who also married clockmakers. Her sister Elizabeth married Abel Hutchins, and Mary (Polly) married Aaron Willard. A third sister married Samuel Curtis.
