Waterbury 30 Hour Wall Clock
This is a classic American Waterbury 30-hour striking wall clock, dating back to approximately 1870. The clock features a wooden case with a painted face displaying Roman numerals and an open escapement. The movement is designed to run for 30 hours on a single winding, and it includes a striking mechanism that chimes on the hour. The original paper label on the back of the clock identifies the manufacturer as the Waterbury Clock Co. and details their production of brass clocks and time pieces.
Condition and Collectibility
The clock is in good antique condition, with expected wear consistent with its age. While the clock may require cleaning and servicing to ensure accurate timekeeping, it remains a desirable piece for collectors of antique American clocks. The presence of the original label adds to its historical significance and authenticity, making it a unique and interesting addition to any collection or home.
