We are excited to welcome you to our charming Cartography, Calligraphy and Clock-tion where the timeless craftsmanship of antique time-pieces, maps and pens shine in every lot. Our hand-picked, curated auction from multiple collectors will leave you with a newfound appreciation for every-day Americana.

We will begin with a showcase of etched and hand-colored maps by cartographers of the past that have an exceptional eye for detail, including John George Bartholomew, Samuel Augustus Mitchell, and Gerardus Mercator.

Next up will be our collection of vintage pens and pencils, featuring notable brands like Tiffany, Schaeffer, and Eversharp, perfect for collectors of all writing instruments. Whether you prefer ball-point, fountain or click, there is something for everyone here.

Last but certainly not least is a wide array of vintage & antique clocks. From wall-hanging clocks to mantel clocks, art deco to modern, and everything in between, these carefully curated collections have been preserved well for the enjoyment of future generations. Our inventory is sure to make you tick, with clock-makers like E. Ingraham, Seth Thomas, and F.C. Andrews.

As always, shipping & handling is done by our in-house shipping partner, Shipping Saint.

Happy Bidding!
