Antique American Clocks
Waterbury Clock Co. "Romance",
This 21-inch Nicholas Muller casting is No. 166, Romance.
It holds a Waterbury movement and label.
The metal case has been refinished nicely with a copper base coat and a matte black
overcoat that leaves just enough of the copper to give it a dimensional finish.
There is new glass in the sash, the paper dial
is yellowed, stained, and may be original.
The 8-day, time-and-strike signed movement is running with little enthusiasm and
striking on a nickel bell.
There is a dark paper label behind plastic.
There is no pendulum bob, but any small bob will
This is a nicely restored figural that I think would benefit from a movement cleaning and a new paper dial.
