Description
Waterbury Clock Co. “Varick” bronzed shelf clock,ca. 1906. A 14-inch ornate metal case that has a clean and likely newer finish. Unfortunately, a piece of the crest at the center-top is missing, although it’s not noticeable unless you know it should be there. The dial glass is thick and beveled, the dial porcelain in two parts with a visible escapement, including ruby pallets. The hands are correct. The signed 8-day, time and half-hour strike movement is running strongly and striking on a cathedral gong. One sale on LiveAuctioneers, at Harris in 2009 for $300, and it was painted; no sales on the Antique Clocks Identification and Price Guide. $100–$250.
