A late 19th-century 24" diameter D. J. Gale’s patent rosewood calendar clock was the top lot at John McInnis Auctioneers’ January 2 and 3 single-owner sale of the lifelong collections of Robert Rogers of Byfield, Massachusetts. Bidding for the clock opened at $3000 and jumped immediately to $9000 then hopped along until it sold to a dealer in the gallery on the phone with a client for $27,600 (includes buyer’s premium). The clock was pristine, with an eight-day, time only, and two-spring pendulum movement, marking the leap year, month, hour, minute, second, day of the week, date, and month. A small dial indicates the number of years since leap year. Rogers’s collections, over 1500 lots offered over two days, were wide and deep and sold far into the night. Nearly everything sold—McInnis passed only about 30 lots of the 1500. Aside from technology, which was minimal, it was truly an old-fashioned sale. Estimates were conservative, and objects sold for what buyers wanted to pay for them—well above estimates in most cases. Rogers is descended from early settlers of Newbury, known first as Newbury Plantation, which once included Byfield and Newburyport. A good part of his collections, gathered over half a century, had come from the early families, most of whom have been interlinked over the centuries.
