Condition: although this clock has been in storage for some time, it is really in good original condition; black enamel needs some minor touch up here and there; faux marble center trims are good. Waterbury offered this model with either porcelain dial or gilt brass dial, of which this is the latter. Uses Waterbury's reliable movement with rack striking (called their "Star" movement). For details, see Tran Duy Ly's book on Waterbury Clocks (2001), page 278, figure 962. Height 10 inches
