Note: Designed by Russell Porter (1871-

influence of his work can be seen in places

200-inch Hale Telescope on Mt. Palomar

in California. Porter’s goal was to create

an instrument that would be ornamental

and practical in equal degrees, useful for

observing the surrounding landscape or

celestial objects. Beginning c. 1923, Porter

Garden Telescopes were produced by the

Jones and Lamson Machine Company of

 Vermont. They were originally supplied with a

compendium of accessories, including double

eyepieces (for two people using the telescope

simultaneously), which dismantled with the

mirror and the prism, to stow in a purpose-

fitted case when not in use.

London, with nine tubular bells marked WalterH. Durfee, Prov. RI, dead-beat escapement,

beating pendulum and three brass-cased

weights, ht. 119 in.

Provenance: This clock was part of the

original furnishings of the W.P. Brown

mansion on 4717 St. Charles Avenue, New

Orleans. This four-story, 22,000 square

foot Romanesque Revival mansion was

built by Brown between 1901 and 1904 as

the promised gift to his wife of the “most

palatial dwelling in New Orleans.” According

to accounts, many rooms of the house

and the grand staircase were sheathed in

flame mahogany, a perfect backdrop for this

mahogany timekeeping masterpiece for nearly

80 years. The second owners of the house

and clock were William Joseph Gibbens, Jr.

and his wife Florieda Batson (1901-1996) who

by the end of 1930 moved into the elegant

dwelling. After the passing of William, Florieda

sold the mansion and gave the prized clock

to her grandaughter, the present consignor in

1979. It is interesting to note that Florieda was

the captain of the first Woman’s World Games

in Paris, 1922. Called by some the “Woman’s

Olympics,” these games were the prelude to

allowing women to compete in the formerly

all male Olympic Games. Her many silver

trophies, like the clock, adorned the mansion.

Conditions of Sale

1. Some of the lots in this sale are offered subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and Skinner, Inc. below

which the lot will not be sold. In most cases, the reserve will be set below the estimated range, but in no case will it exceed the estimates listed. A representative of

Skinner, Inc. will execute such reserves by bidding for the consignor. In any event and whether or not a lot is subject to a reserve, the auctioneer may reject any bid or

raise not commensurate with the value of such lot.

2. All property is sold “as is,” and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor makes any warranties or representation of any kind or nature with respect to the property,

and in no event shall they be responsible for the correctness, nor deemed to have made any representation or warranty, of description, genuineness, authorship,

attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, or condition of the property and no statement made at the sale, or in the bill of sale, or invoice or elsewhere shall

be deemed such a warranty of representation or an assumption of liability.

3. Except as provided in paragraph 1 above, the highest bidder as determined by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the case of a disputed bid, the auctioneer

shall have sole discretion in determining the purchaser and may also, at his or her election, withdraw the lot or reoffer the lot for sale. The auctioneer shall have

sole discretion to refuse any bid, or refuse to acknowledge any bidder. Any bidder that plans on spending in excess of $100,000 should make arrangements with the

accounting department at least five (5) days in advance of the sale, as a deposit may be required to participate.

4. All merchandise purchased must be paid for and removed from the premises the day of the auction. Skinner Inc. may impose, and the purchaser agrees to pay, a

monthly interest charge of 1.5% of the purchase price of any lot or item lot not paid for within thirty-five (35) days of the date of sale.

Skinner, Inc. shall have no liability for any damage or loss to property left on its premises for more than three (3) days from the date of sale. If any property has not been

removed within three (3) days from the date of sale, at the option of Skinner, Inc. (a) Skinner Inc., may impose, and the purchaser agrees to pay, a monthly storage

charge of 1.5% of the purchase price of any lot or portion of a lot not removed within the three days, and/or (b) Skinner Inc. may place the merchandise in a subsequent

auction, without Reserve, to be sold to the highest bidder, and after deducting the standard commission and any additional charges that may apply, remit the proceeds

to the purchaser.

5. Skinner accepts cash or check for payment. Personal checks will be acceptable only if credit has been established with Skinner, Inc. or if a bank authorization has

been received guaranteeing a personal check. Skinner, Inc. reserves the right to hold merchandise purchased by personal check until the check has cleared the bank.

The purchaser agrees to pay Skinner, Inc. a handling charge of $25.00 for any check dishonored by the drawee. Please contact Accounting for additional payment

6. If the purchaser breaches any of its obligations under these Conditions of Sale, including its obligation to pay in full the purchase price of all items for which it was

the highest successful bidder, Skinner Inc. may exercise all of its rights and remedies under the law including, without limitation, (a) canceling the sale and applying any

payments made by the purchaser to the damages caused by the purchaser’s breach, and/or (b) offering at public auction, without reserve, any lot or item for which the

purchaser has breached any of its obligations, including its obligation to pay in full the purchase price, holding the purchaser liable for any deficiency plus all costs of

sale.

overseas. Some property that is sold at auction can be subject to laws governing export from the U.S., such as items that include material from some endangered

species. Import restrictions from foreign countries are subject to these same governing laws. Granting of licensing for import or export of goods from local authorities

is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Denial or delay of licensing will not constitute cancellation or delay in payment for the total purchase price of these lots.

9. All purchases are subject to the Massachusetts 6.25% sales tax unless the purchaser possesses a Massachusetts sales tax exemption number. Exemption numbers

from other states are accepted in Massachusetts if presented with a business card or letterhead. Dealers, museums, and other qualifying parties can apply for a

contemplated by this agreement shall be brought, in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any federal court sitting therein. The bidder/buyer consents

to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waives objections that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit.
