Antique American Clocks January 2022

Waterbury Clock Co. “Galway”, ca. 1883. Well, this clock doesn’t look right, but it is. The
Galway is 36 inches tall in walnut with a good, polished finish, an old glass in the door, an old painted dial, and a proper Waterbury
pendulum and bob. I believe the fancy finial at the top is a replacement, well done; the hands are also replacements. The 8-day, time-and-strike movement is signed and running, striking on a nickel bell. There is evidence of a label on the back. There are three listings of this model in the Antique Clocks Price Guide over the last 20 years, and one sale on LiveAuctioneers;
the most recent was at RO Schmitt’s in 2011 for $550. $250-$500.
