Waterbury 8-inch Drop Octagon Gilt, circa 1891.

8-day brass movement strikes on the hour only. The clock was bought on eBay from a seller in Wentzville, Mo., December 04, 2005. The face is a reproduction "Waterbury", the face pan, bezel, hinge, hands, and glass appear to be replacements. The hands were too short for the dial and these were replaced. Movement had been previously bushed, but the work was "cleaned up" and a strike side spring with a poorly repaired broken end was replaced. The rest of the clock appears to be original. The clock is in good running order and I run it every day. Listed in the 1891 Waterbury catalog.

The back of the case has a label with oriental characters, along with the Waterbury label. If you can translate this oriental label, or know it's significance, I love to hear from you.
