This is a SUPERIOR example of a HIGH END Waterbury Porcelion Mantle Clock in wonderful looking and wonderful working condition. It is a very classy mantle clock in need of a warm loving home. It was made circa 1890. It has a signed "Waterbury Clock Co" 8-day time and strike movement which chimes the half-hour and counts the hours on the hour on a high end cathedral gong, with a distinctive beautiful sound. The case is also extremely beautiful! The case is made of porcelion with a beautiful RARE design in SUPERIOR condition with its ORIGINAL finish. THE CASE IS AS PERFECT AS THEY GET! The dial is BEAUTIFUL ALSO PERFECT and crisp, easy to read. I doubt if the clock has been worked on much as the screws and screw holes for the movement, dial, etc. are original and are tight. The signed movement runs very well and keeps good time. It has an adjustment for fast and slow on the dial, which can be turned by the small end of the new included double-ended key. This way you don't have to take the clock off its shelf to adjust it for fast and slow. The clock comes with the original pendulum and a new double-ended key - one end to adjust for slow and fast and the other to wind it with (see picture). The metal around the dial is original heavy solid brass (no extra screw holes). The original glass is heavy bevel glass. Has the original back door. Complete with the original adjustable pendulum. The signed movement is a very strong runner. Runs great with a happy ticking sound. The clock measures 11 inches high, 5 inches deep and 11 inches wide. These antique clocks amaze me - could you imagine any other consumer product still working after over 130 years! And the truly amazing thing with proper care they will work easily past the next 100 years, and much more! If you are looking for an antique clock that looks like it was cherished its whole life, and looks just about like the day it was bought, and aged to a perfect patina - this is it! Antique Clocks are a Fine Investment. Each one has a unique quality, as well as appreciating in value and beauty with age. You will become attached to your antique clocks and they will become a meaningful and important part of your life adding untold joy each day you own them. They can be handed down from one generation to another as they increase daily in value. Antique clocks serve many purposes other than being useful in telling time, decorative in your home, a valuable asset in your estate and above all a faithful servant and friend which will be true to you to the end of time.

FedEx/ UPS and the USPS have recently gone up 25% in their shipping prices and are now charging dimensional weight; and raised their insurance prices also.International is exact charge.We receive many emails every day, (including Sundays and holidays!) and we answer them within 3 working days.I have always hated that "reserve" when I have bid myself so this fine clock has no reserve and a very low (gulp) starting bid.

Going in our vintage Airstream (with all the kitties!) March 31st through the 15th of April . This is a fine convention. We are hoping to find some great clocks. It looks like we'll probably not have too much internet access during the trip. We try to get to get a connection, but it makes it hard with all the convention activities and all the driving. We will ship ASAP as soon as we return. Sorry for the inconvenience.We also offer a clock oiler (at our cost (5.00), with the purchase of this clock) and instructions for oiling your own clock, should you choose to do that.A careful inspection is done each and every time during the packing process by "Wild Thing" Master Packing ... read more
