39.      $150

Waterbury “Crane” store clock, ca. 1930.  One of the three “large bird” series of store clocks (along with the Stork and Pelican) and actually a mixture, with a Pelican crest and a Crane door, 37 inches tall.  Either the upper or the lower part of the backboard has been changed out, but there is a partial Crane label on the back.  The dial glass is modern, the lower glass old with “REGULATOR” in simple gold lettering.  The signed paper dial is evenly soiled, advertising the Two Star Co. out of Brooklyn NY.  The hands are correct, and the signed, Waterbury time-only movement is running.  $150-$250.
