C.1925, Waltham Watch Co., Waltham, Mass, ABBOT LYRE, 1-Wt, 8-day wall clock. Condition: Overall very good original condition. A minor item worth mentioning is that a good repairman, in an effort to strengthen the mounting of the movement, put in machine screws from the rear of the case -forward into the base mounting plate that is used on Waltham movements. It is well done and will never come loose. The finial and bezel have been brushed with gold paint and that can be removed +polished. The movement is properly signed. The dial, hands, pendulum and tablets are all original. Recent sales in the Boston area have approached the 11,000 dollar level. Find this clock illustrated in Tran Ly's volume 1 of American Clocks, page 247. Height 43 inches
