138.             $450

Waterbury Clock Co. “Perth”, ca. 1893.  A beautiful 42-inch walnut case with Waterbury’s “Cabinet finish”.  Amazingly, the unusual finials on top are as shown in the catalog illustration (Ly, Waterbury Clocks & Watches, page 196) and they look original.  The door glass is a twentieth century replacement. The paper dial has some spotting and wear (upper left) and has the Waterbury logo.  The proper filled Maltese hands are likely original.  The 8-day, time-only movement is signed and running without a hitch; the pendulum stick and bob are Waterbury issue. A partial label on the back.  No sales records on LiveAuctioneers; the most recent sale on the Antique Clocks Identification and Price Guide was in 2013.  A rare model, and one I have not seen before.  $450–$750.
