This is a very scarce clock.

The mov't is Waterbury with ladder chains and rope twist weights. This is the same mov't that is in a Waterbury Augusta.

Waterbury did not make the hall bench but sold mov'ts to a company in New York that made this piece of furniture. This company made three different styles of hall benches, this is the middle grade model.

They are very collectable and I purchased this one off from Ebay about 3 years ago in Monterey California. I had it shipped to Wisconsin for $375.00 The finish is original and the clock has very nice carvings.

Most people who see it are amazed and never knew such an item was ever
made.

....very interesting!!!a marvelous piece at a remarkably modest price!...are you thinking of replating/gilding the hands to make them stand out?...Jim C

Jim the price listed was just the shipping cost, the clock was conciderly more.
