Waterbury Clock Co. shelf clock, ca. 1880. This model is
not shown in Ly’s two volumes on Waterbury clocks, but is a smaller, spring-driven version of their weight-driven Parlor Clock (shown
on page 425 of Ly, Waterbury Clocks & Watches, Vol. 1). This rosewood-veneered case is 20.5 inches tall with good
veneer and an old finish. Both glasses are old but have been rebacked, and possibly repainted, to match the original design. The metal dial was repainted some time ago, the hands are appropriate. The 8-day, time-and-strike movement is unsigned, running
and striking on a wire gong. There is a good label inside. An attractive shelf clock. $150–$300.
