Waterbury Clock Co. 30-hour OG, ca. 1870. The label indicates a sales outlet on Cortlandt St in New York City, which was active in the 1870’s. The 26-inch case is veneered
in rosewood in good condition with a clear finish. Both glasses are period/original, with a very well-preserved tablet of a
building with an owl in the belfry - I have no idea what that means. The metal dial holds original paint with the Waterbury
name and logo but is not original to this clock; the hands are modern replacements. The 30-hour time-and-strike, weight-driven
movement is signed and will run briefly but will not strike; it is dirty and in need of oil, at a minimum. There is a good label
inside and two period weights, along with a pendulum bob and Waterbury key. $50–$150.
