Waterbury Varden Figure Clock in Metal Case, ca. 1899 – 1900

Here is a metal cased Waterbury figure mantel clock called “Varden” that I repaired recently. Tran Duy Ly’s book “Waterbury Clocks” shows this clock, and gives the date 1899 – 1900.

This clock is 11 7/8 inches tall and 15 inches wide. The enamel dial’s minute track is 87.8 mm outside diameter (just under 3 1/2 inches). The flat glass lens is beveled. The minute hand is not original.

The movement is round and has rack and snail striking. The mainsprings are in going barrels.
