Waterbury Blinking Eye Antique Clock C. 1859-1875:
$1900.00
Waterbury Clock, Sambo, c. 1859-1875. 30-hour time balance-wheel movement antique clock. Cast iron case by Bradley & Hubbard, movement by Waterbury. This rare clock is in remarkable condition. I have had it professionally inspected for review of operability. I’m advised that all parts appear to be original, with exception of dial and key. I am told that the clock would need to be gone over by an experienced antique clock shop and that the hairspring movement would need to be professionally cleaned and the balance wheel needs to be “trued up” before trying to operate the clock.
Overall height: 15 1/2”. Reference Guide Tran Duy Ly “Waterbury” Edition (2000), p. 79.
Case is in exceptional condition, with minimal age-related paint flaking. Note close-ups pics of back left shoulder and left arm (where flaking is). Other dark spots seen in photos are not paint flaking, just part of the detail and shading of paint. All paint appears to be original & untouched. Clock is sold AS IS. Operability is not guaranteed.
This clock belonged to a relative who was an avid clock collector during his lifetime. Sambo has been kept safe, untouched, and out of the sunlight for many years.
