Antique American Clocks July 2020
313. $50
Waterbury Clock Co. “Kent”, ca. 1913. The Kent normally has a visible escapement but here a
flat dial is used with the retailer’s name, “LePolt & Co., New York Chicago”. The porcelain dial is badly damaged and touched
up; the glass is convex and beveled. The 10.5 by 18.5-inch case is mahogany with some nicks. The signed 8-day movement
with a rack and snail strike on the hours and half-hours is running and striking. There is a label on the bottom. $50-$100.
