Waterbury Clock Co. metal case mantle clocks, the "Nantes", ca 1915.

Waterbury Clock Co. metal case mantle clocks, the "Nantes", ca 1915. When it left the factory it was richly gold plated, but now shows a great deal of the gold worn. It doesn't look bad, and a light cleaning would help it, but none the less looking dull. The beveled glass is missing but everything else is intact and original. Nice clean, round, brass 8 day movement strikes a cathedral gong on the half hours and hours. The 2 piece porcelain dial has chips around the wind arbors and a couple of dirty hairlines. The 15.5 inch metal case has attractive and interesting designs on all four sides. Ly-Waterbury #1246. If it was in a little better condition I could expect to get bids in the 500 dollars -600 dollars range, as it is more like .
