103.     $350

Waterbury Clock Co. “Halifax”, ca. 1893.  An oak case with an old finish, slightly crusty in places; just 32 inches long and 10 inches wide, it will fit nicely into a lot of tight places.  The door glass is old, the paper dial clean and with the Waterbury CC logo, the hands correct.  The signed 8-day, time-and-half-hour strike on a cathedral gong movement is running and striking on cue.  Note that the fancy pendulum is missing the speed adjustment indicator.  There is a partial label on the back.  This model would have cost you $8.50 in 1893, the equivalent of $236 today.  This model has been selling lately on eBay in the mid-$400’s.  $400-$500.
