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.
