23.                   $250

Waterbury Clock Co. “Victoria”, ca. 1893.  An uncommon clock, with no sales in the last 12 years.  The 41-inch walnut case has been refinished and looks great.  The door glass is a modern replacement, the painted dial was varnished and looks terrible, like it has ichthyosis, but it does go with the fish scale theme of the case.  I think with the proper solvent that problem could be fixed.  The hands are proper.  The 8-day, time and half-hour strike movement is signed; it runs for a few minutes and gives up, but probably just needs oiling and coaxing.  It strikes on a cathedral gong, mounted on a silver base; the dial bezel and pendulum bob are also silvered.  There is a black label on the inside bottom and an Instruction label on the back.  An attractive clock you don’t see often.  $250-$400.
