184.    $50

Waterbury Clock Co. “Para”, ca. 1891.  A 22-inch case with rosewood veneer, very dark, the lower decorated glass original, the dial glass replaced, and a painted dial with logo in very good condition.  The two brass hands may go with the uncommon alarm on this example.  The 8-day, time-and-strike movement is signed and running, striking on the hour and half-hour on a Waterbury-signed wire gong.  The fancy pendulum is Waterbury issue.  There is a dark black label with some losses inside. This is a common clock style, but this model is not, with no recent sales.  $75-$150.
