Description
8 day Rack and Snail striking movement, on cathedral gong. Every half hour and on the hour strikes on the gong. The Rack and Snail movement is so you can go forward or backwards and the clock will stay in sync. On the movement is stamped Pat Nov 1st, 1881, and Waterbury with their early 5 point star logo. See video below images for demonstration of sound.
The dial is porcelain with one flaw between the 11th and 12th hour. Fancy black Arabic numerals. Open brass escapement with pierced filagree background and what appears to be two dragons in the background. Brass bezel that has beveled glass.
The sides and bottom is adorned with brass filagree rosettes.
On the bottom is a blank label... we could not find the model name of this clock. It is not in Tran Ly's Waterbury book, and I have been unable to find a single other example of this clock. I believe it to be fairly scarce. I have not seen this model before. Circa 1885.
Dimensions are Height 10", Width 13", Depth 5", and Weight 15 lbs.
