I have up for sale a wonderful antique - last patent date February 12, 1901 - Waterbury Round Dial Face Carriage Alarm Clock.  It comes from the collection of a local couple who collected small clocks their entire adult lives and wrote a book about small clocks entitled, " Small Clock Tickertape on Collecting Miniature and Novelty Clocks" by Louise Dworatschek. Her husband Steve did the photography and sold at shows for many years. This clock was from their private collection and is shown on page 20 , plate 52  of the book- priced at $350 and Up . The book was published in 2000. Both has since passed on .  Its sounds like there is a screw or something loose inside the movement as when I shake the clock I can hear it . When I was trying to adjust the slow / fast I pushed the lever all the way to the right but it went beyond where I can retrieve it. It runs slow and needs to be adjusted -  I suggest that you have a professional service the clock not only for this but also because its been sitting unused up till now and the screw or what ever it is that is jiggling around inside the movement should be taken care of .  The dial face is very nice , its paper . The crystal is the original beveled glass type.  The case appears to be brass with a gold tone plating . The plating or finish is worn in spots as noticed in my pics.  The clock runs but has not been tested for accuracy . I pushed the Slow /Fast all the way over to the slow but it seems to have gone past the opening and I am not sure how to pull it back .  With that said , its an estate clock and I have no idea as to when it was last serviced, so in the least the movement should be cleaned and oiled. When I first got the clock I could here what sounded like something loose inside but I no longer here it , so I am not sure what happened.  The clocks stands approx 3-1/2" tall without the handle  and the stepped base measures approx 3" across by 2-1/8" deep . The backside of the clock is deeper as it has the knobs for setting and winding.  UPON RECEIVING THE ITEM - ONLY THROW OUT THE BOX AND PACKAGING AFTER YOU HAVE INSPECTED THE ITEM AND ARE HAPPY THAT THERE ARE NO DAMAGES.

  • Condition: Used
  • Condition: Good Estate Fresh and As Found Condition. Winds easily and starts right up , runs nicely but a little slow from what i can tell . I pushed the slow adjust past where I can physically pull it back. The alarm works fine. Good Cosmetic Condition albeit some plating wear , you can see some areas where the underlying copper color is shown through. Nice original beveled glass crystal and good dial face. The dial face is paper. It sounds like a screw is loose on the inside ,when I giggle the clock I can here it move around. It would be a good idea to service the clock , clean and oil the movement - plus take care of what I believe is a loose screw. Please view the pics to help assess. Looks nicer when seen in person, these up close pics , makes the minor wear it has appear worse than what it really is.The finish is worn in a few spots as you can see in the pics . You can see a copper / brass color. Read the description !
