Waterbury “Calendar No. 43”, ca. 1912. You see this model in walnut and oak; this is walnut,
refinished some time ago, 28.5 inches tall with lots of carvings, incising, and reeded full columns on each side. The door glass
is original with its painted dial surrounds in good condition. The time dial is glossy old paper; the calendar dial is a mess. Someone repainted and antiqued the center portion of the glossy paper dial, for what reason I cannot imagine. Moreover, they
painted right over the mounting screws. Other than that, this is a very nice example; the 8-day time-and-strike unsigned movement
is running and striking a cathedral gong on the hours and half-hours, and the calendar is advancing. There are remnants of a
label on the back. This is a fairly common and popular shelf calendar, typically selling for $400 and up. $400-$500.
