Waterbury Clock Co. “Marnay” crystal regulator, ca. 1914. A 12.5-inch mahogany and brushed brass crystal regulator with four beveled glasses and a porcelain dial. This clock is described
on page 149 of Ly’s Waterbury Clocks & Watches (Vol. 1). It came in brushed brass (as here) or in rich gold plating, with
a mahogany base and top. The porcelain dial has a crack on the left side, the hands are original and as shown in the catalog
illustration. The 8-day, time and half-hour strike movement is signed and running, striking on a cathedral gong. A good
label on the bottom of the case. An uncommon clock, with no auction sales in the last decade; RO Schmitt’s sold one in 2012
for $325. $150–$250.
