Antique American Clocks JANUARY 2025
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.
