Waterbury Clock Co. green onyx crystal regulator, ca. 1910.  I can’t find this one in either of Ly’s two volumes on Waterbury clocks.  The movement is signed and the dial is signed, so we’ll just have to assume it was an uncommon or short-lived model.  It is 11.25 inches tall in green onyx with typical cracks and discoloration for its age. There is a brass ornament on the front base and four beveled glasses, with the front right plate chipped badly in the lower left corner. The two-part porcelain dial is signed and has numerous cracks in the chapter ring.  The hands are matched and the visible escapement has ruby pallets; the signed movement has a rack and snail strike on the hour and half-hour on a cathedral gong; it is running and striking as expected.  The pendulum vials are missing their false mercury weights and one vial is chipped.  $150-$250.
