Antique American Clocks February 2023
Sal-4. $50
Waterbury Clock Co. “Vintner”, ca. 1867. An
18.5-inch spelter metal case in two parts (case-front and topper). The topper shows a youth with a handful of grapes and collection
basket on his left. The case originally had a bronze finish, and I can’t exclude the possibility that this is the original,
worn finish. The dial glass is old, the dial unsigned paper with some discoloration, the hands acceptable replacements. The signed, 8-day time-and-strike movement is very dirty and will not run or strike; it will need to be cleaned. There is a
label inside. $50-$100.
