Waterbury Clock Co. “Parlor clock”, ca. 1860.  This model is shown on page 425 of Ly’s book on Waterbury clocks.  It stands 31 inches tall in rosewood veneer with a patina of age; it could be cleaned if you wanted to bring out the rosewood patterns.  Both glasses are likely original, but I think they have been repainted in the original pattern. The painted metal dial is old as well, the hands modern.  The 8-day, time-and-strike movement is signed and is driven by two 8-day cast iron weights; it is running and striking without issue.  There is a nice label inside, pendulum bob and winder. No recent sales of this model.  $150-$250.
