Brass Bell Clock J.E. Caldwell

Category
Clocks
Condition
Fair
Description

I have an antique mantel clock manufactured by J.E. Caldwell. With the research I've done, it appears to be a very rare clock. I do not know much about how the clock works but the internal mechanism that allows the clock to function is no longer working based on observation.

The exterior is covered with different scenes and ornate designs. It has a Latin phrase cast into the bell, “SPIRITU TOU DOMINUS VOBISAUM". The dial apears to be porcelain and all the numbers are intact along with the hour/minute hands. J. E. Caldwell was a Venerable American silversmith from Philadelphia. In 1839, James Emmott Caldwell began to supply wealthy Philadelphians with stylish European jewelry, silver, and objets d'art. The movement is signed E.P. Paris.

I found the clock in my grandparents basement. Both are deceased and I can't find any connection as to where/when they purchased it. I plan on getting it appraised with a certified antique dealer/appraiser. I stumbled across this forum and decided to show others what I have and possibly find more info on it. If anyone has anything to share, please do!

Thank You!

steamer dome trunk Circa 1856

Category
General Antiques and Collectibles
Condition
Good
Description

This steamer trunk has a dome top, circa 1856, was a steal at $45 at a local garage sale. According to the seller, the trunk started it's trip at France came all the way over to America and landed at New England. From there, it ended up in Portland as a gift from great aunt to nephew. The reason behind selling this piece was simply stated as " We are trying to down size". All of the metal pieces are intact, the leather straps (making this a traveling trunk) are intact. There is no key to the lock, and the original tanned leather with floral print is untouched and in good condition. Has not been refinished, as I am hesitant to devalue the price.

If anyone can help identify the hallmark (last picture) to help identify who made the trunk, that would be greatly appreciated.
