Waterbury Clock Co. “Chime Clock No. 503”, ca. 1915. This 16-inch chime clock came in Mahogany or
“Circassian Walnut”; I think it this one is the latter. It is a tree from central Europe and is the same as the English walnut
and has a very nice look. The clock has the typical gilt filigree and silver dial with a fast-slow adjustment and a chime-silent
setting. It strikes Westminster chimes on five chime rods and counts the hours on four. This one will not stop striking
the hours and the Westminster chimes (even on the silent setting) and will need work. It is running and I am waiting for it
to run down. The case is in fine condition, there is some wear to the silver chapter ring, and there is a beveled glass in the
door. $100-$200.
