Waterbury Clock Co. Parlor Clock, ca. 1880.  A 31-inch case with a finish so dark that I cannot determine the wood; the book (Ly, Waterbury Clocks & Watches, Vol. 1, page 425) says it came in rosewood.  Both glasses are likely original with good retention of the reverse-painted designs.  The metal dial has been artistically repainted and varnished, with some yellowing; the hands are likely original.  The 8-day weight-driven time-and-strike movement is die-stamped “Waterbury Clock Co. CT” and is running, feebly, and will not strike – it needs to be cleaned and oiled. There are no weights with this clock, but proper weights can be purchased in the Parts section.  A dark and stained label inside. AAC sold a cleaner example last summer for $150.  $75–$150.
