211.      $50

Waterbury Clock Co. “Column Spring”, ca. 1867.  A 14.5-inch case veneered in rosewood with no major chips or losses.  The columns are grain painted, possibly original.  Both glasses are old, with a very nice rose tablet on a blue background; the background may be newer.  The painted metal dial is likely original, with considerable soiling and two period replaced but appropriate hands.  The signed 30-hour, time-and-strike spring-driven movement is running and striking as required.  Good label inside.  $50-$150.
