Antique American Clocks July 2020
165. $150
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.
