I've acquired a Waterbury Calendar clock #33 but with it came some calendar clock movements. I'm fairly sure the one picture here is a Seth Thomas #4 office:

But this one is a mystery - it's 9" long.

And last, this rotary one. It's 4" in diameter and 3" high.

And from the top - obviously its activating mechanism is missing.

GREETINGS MICHAEL, THE COMPLETE MOVEMENT IS A AUSTRIAN OR GERMAN SPRING REGULATOR WITH A CALENDER MECHINISM AND VERY RARE BUT IT TAKES A SPECIAL CASE. THE FIRST POST MAY BE A SETH THOMAS, THE LAST ONE IS A MYSTERY TO ME BUT IT LOOKS VALUABLE. I MIGHT ALSO MENTION THAT I HAVE A NICE WATERBURY #43 DOUBLE DIAL CALENDER CLOCK CASE ONLY THAT BI WILL BE LISTING ON EBAY SOON. TAKE CARE. EDDIE

GREETINGS MICHAEL, I WANT ADD SOMETHING TO MY LAST POST. I NOTICED AFTER LOOKING AGAIN AT THE GERMAN MOVEMENT IT HAS A FLY 0R GOVERNER ON THE LEFT SIDE WHICH INDICATES THERE IS MOTION IN THAT PART OF THE CALENDER TRAIN, SO IT MAY BE A TIME CLOCK MOVEMENT. EDDIE

Blimey Eddie, you're on the ball this morning! Thanks.

The #33 has an excellent case but is missing its time dial. I won't be listing it until I return from a Missouri auction in 2 weeks. That's Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Missouri in a month. Not bad for a Brit living in Indiana!

At the Wisconsin auction I gambled $250 on a rare English fishing reel. It sold on ebay for $1850 last week. I only went there for clocks, watches and tools! You just never know in this game.

I suppose being a time clock movement makes it less desirable?

Eddie's right. The second one is very rare and should look like this:

GREETINGS MICHAEL, IT IS NOT A TIME CLOCK MOVEMENT AFTER ALL, THE PICTURE FROM MR. ZIMMERMAN TELLS THE STORY. THE MOVEMENT HAS SO MANY ROBUST ATTRIBUTES THAT I THOUGHT IT WAS MORE THAN A CALENDER CLOCK. TAKE CARE. EDDIE
