Condition: Excellent original condition overall. The American companies had followed the French around 1900, making 4-glass clocks of cast metal. By 1912 or so, nearly all had introduced MAHOGANY cases of similar design to cater to the American taste. Relatively few of these have survived; the only things that keep this from being outstanding are some cracks in the ivory colored porcelain dial. For reference, see Tran Ly's book on Waterbury Clocks [2001], page 143, fig 405. In good running order. Ht 12.2" [31cm]
