Waterbury Clock Co. “French”, ca. 1870.  This clock is shown on page 765 of Ly’s Waterbury Clocks & Watches, Vol 2.  It differs slightly from the catalog illustration shown, but the two figures on top are the same.  The metal case is 19 inches tall with a nicely renewed bronze finish; there are a few spots where it has been touched up with paint.  The dial glass is a replacement, the dial is replaced paper with slight staining, the hands are likely replacements.  The 8-day time-and-strike movement is signed and running, striking on a small bell with a nice sound.  There are remnants of a label inside.  No sales records for this model that I can find.  $150–$300.
