Antique Running Waterbury Chime No. 500 Huge Mahogany Westminster Bracket Clock
THIS IS A HUGE CARVED MAHOGANY WATERBURY BRACKET MANTEL CLOCK. THE MODEL IS CHIME CLOCK NO. 500 AND IT IS CIRCA. THIS CLOCK HAS A FULL LABEL ON THE BOTTOM. EVERYTHING IS IN GOOD SHAPE, HOWEVER THE CHIME NEEDS ONE ADJUSTMENT. ON EACH QUARTER HOUR THE CLOCK STRIKES THE CORRECT WESTMINSTER CHIME, BUT THE LAST STRIKE IN THE SEQUENCE IS CARRIED OVER TO THE FOLLOWING QUARTER HOUR. IN THE LAST PHOTO YOU WILL SEE THE GEAR THAT LIFTS EACH HAMMER WITH STEEL SPOKES. THAT GEAR DOES NOT COMPLETE THE FULL ROTATION, AND ALWAYS LEAVES THE LAST HAMMER LIFTED UNTIL THE NEXT QUARTER HOUR. IT LOOKS LIKE THAT GEAR NEEDS TO BE SET ONE TOOTH FURTHER ON THE GEAR THAT IS NEXT TO IT. OTHERWISE THE CLOCK RUNS AND BALANCES EASILY.

THE CASE HAS LIGHT WEAR TO THE FINISH GIVING IT AN EVEN "ALLIGATOR" APPERENCE. THE CLOCK SITS LEVEL AND THE BACK DOOR HAS THE ORIGINAL CLOTH LINING.

THERE ARE A FEW FAINT SEAMS IN THE MAHOGANY HERE AND THERE. THIS CLOCK IS QUITE LARGE AND HEAVY!! THE DIAL IS IN GOOD SHAPE WITH A FEW TINY HAIRLINE CRACKS. THE NUMERALS ARE FIRED ON BLACK ENAMEL, IN THE SAME PROCESS PERIOD PORCELAIN POCKET WATCH DIAL WERE MADE. THE BEZEL IS GOLD GILT OVER BRASS.

THE GILDING IS QUITE THICK AND THE GOLD IS STILL VIBRANT. THE GLASS IS IN TERRIFIC SHAPE AS WELL.

THE SIGNED 8 DAY BRASS TRIPLE TRAIN MOVEMENT RUNS LIKE A TOP!!! THIS CLOCK IS VERY EASY TO BALANCE!!! AGAIN THE STRIKING SIDE WILL NEED THAT ONE ADJUSTMENT TO KEEP THE WESTMINSTER STRIKE FLUID. THE STRIKE IS CURRENTLY LINED UP TO THE CORRECT QUARTER HOUR AND THE HOUR COUNT IS ALSO CORRECT.

THIS CLOCK HAS IT'S ORIGINAL BRASS PENDULUM, BUT IT DID NOT COME WITH A KEY. WE USED A UNIVERSAL STAR CLOCK KEY TO WIND THE SPRINGS. CASE MEASUREMENTS: THE CLOCK MEASURES APPROX.

X 12 5/8 " WIDE X 7 1/8 "!! WE MAKE SURE THAT WE MEASURE TWICE AND DO OUR BEST TO DESCRIBE EACH ITEM.
