An American mahogany and brass novelty ‘Ever-Ready’ ticket mantel timepiece Attributed to the American Electrical Novelty and Manufacturing Company, New York, early 20th century The thirty-hour movement with pin-pallet lever escapement, integral winding key and time adjustment set beneath two tier carousel of pivoted ivorine tickets, the upper printed with Arabic numerals for the hours and the lower for minutes rotating against a system of spring retainers and pivoted hand-shaped ivorine pointers to display the time in digital format, the inner case with brass cap and base divided by glass cylinder and three turned brass uprights within unusual outer arrangement of rectangular cavetto moulded mahogany top panel over four brass column uprights and conforming wooden base with brass bun feet, 16.5 (6.5ins) high. The concept/design of the current lot was first patented by Eugene Fitch, New York in 1902 with production subsequently undertaken by the American Electrical Novelty and Manufacturing Company. The design of the current lot is identical to an example illustrated in an advert for “EVER-READY” NOVELTIES which appeared in one of the trade catalogues of Grimshaw Baxter and J. J. Elliott Ltd. and is reproduced in Shenton, Alan & Rita The Price Guide to Collectable Clocks 1840-1940 on page 267 (Figure 283).
