Antique American Clocks                      July 2020

500.    $60

Four US Time Corp. “Waterbury” alarm clocks, ca. 1944-1969.  Sporty looking alarms with rounded solid-color rims and matching paper dials, 5.5 inches high, on nickel stands.  Colors are deep green, maroon, tan, and cobalt blue; I think these are the only colors they produced, so you get the full set for one money, as the auctioneer says.  The colored rims and dials are all in excellent shape, only the green alarm has a rust stain on the dial from the alarm hand.  The backs are nickel with some rust, and some have replaced winding knobs.  Glass dials and white or nickel hands, some with lume.  They are 30-hour alarm clocks, some will run and some need help.  US Time was the follow-up company to the Waterbury Clock Company and was renamed Timex in 1969.  $75-$100.
