Antique American Clocks
Waterbury Clock Co. "Parlor clock", ca. 1860.
This model is shown on page 425 of Ly's book
on Waterbury clocks.
It stands 31 inches tall in rosewood veneer with a patina of age; it could be cleaned if you wanted to
bring out the rosewood patterns.
Both glasses are likely original, but I think they have been repainted in the original pattern.
The painted metal dial is old as well, the hands modern.
The 8-day, time-and-strike movement is signed and is driven by two
8-day cast iron weights; it is running and striking without issue.
There is a nice label inside, pendulum bob and winder.
No recent sales of this model.
