Waterbury Clock Co. “Calendar No. 44”, ca. 1891. A 24-inch walnut case with an old finish.  The door glass is original and shows considerable losses to the black backing; this model came with a clear glass behind a carved wooden door, and with a reverse-painted full glass door, as you see here.  In some examples the gilt-outlined figures are filled in red.  Both dials hold the original paint and are flaking, but clean.  The hands are correct but likely replacements.  The 8-day, time and half-hour strike movement is signed and running; the weekday calendar is advancing but the date hand is not.  There are complete labels on the back.  Schmidt’s Antiques sold one in 2021 for $275.  $200-$300.
