C.1912, Waterbury Clock Co., "Cairo" wall clock

23 October 2024
8-day time only spring driven clock, in very good to excellent original condition. At first look you'll swear the case has been refinished, but not so: the label is intact on the bottom of the case (some tears), and there is dirt in the corners. Mr. Rappaport wanted his clocks to glisten like new and used compound to rub them to a shine. The hands are brass, painted black, with wear on the edges, and I am unsure of their originóthey look fine however, and would only be questioned by a purist. This is a complex case with turned columns on the sides, lots of angle changes and pressed trim. Height 43"
