Antique American Clocks
Waterbury Clock Co. "Peoria" calendar clock, ca. 1900.
A 42-inch oak case with a very old
The door glass is original, as is the flaking painted metal dial.
The hands are Waterbury issue.
movement is unsigned and running without problem; the calendar mechanism is unique to this and two other Waterbury models.
I've missed a trick, the day and date rollers advance daily, but you set the month by hand.
The date will advance but the weekday
roller needs the tension bar tightened to prevent roll-back.
The roller papers have been lacquered to prevent further degradation
and are dark.
There are two small nubbins missing from the bottom corners of the case.
Horton's sold a very nice example
in 2016 for $1700; Schmitt's sold one in 2018 for $1600.
$1200-$1600.
