The Waterbury Clock Company. An alarm novelty shelf clock. FF-203.

This alarm novelty clock is in a wonderful original condition. The case is brass, and the decorative designs have been pressed into the metal. The high points have been polished smooth, and the hollow areas are matted for contrast. The case, which is a facade, measures approximately 9.25 inches tall and 8 inches wide. 

The paper dial is original to the clock. It measures three and one-half inches across and is in good condition, except for some minor staining at the top. Printed at the bottom is the wording, "MANUFACTURED BY WATERBURY CLOCK CO. U. S. A." 

The lever movement is brass and will run for thirty hours once fully wound. It is also fitted with an alarm that strikes on a brass bell mounted at the top of the clock. The alarm is set from the back of the case. The back plate is die-stamped with the patent date, "Pat. March 19, 1889." It also bears the Maker's name and the instructions for each knob.

The Waterbury Clock Company offered this clock in their 1900 catalog.

Inventory number FF-203.
