Unusual Waterbury Mantle Clock With Porcelain Dial

Description: Unusual Waterbury Mantle Clock With Porcelain Dial This is a very nice looking and unusually styled mantle clock. It is made by The Waterbury Clock Co. at Waterbury, Conn., USA. It is in good running condition, keeping time and striking on a heavy duty coiled gong. It counts out each hour, for example; 1 gong at 1:00, 2 gongs at 2:00, etc. and announces each half hour with a single toll. This clock is getting close to a hundred years old and still looks great. It has been refinished at one time with a reddish brown cherry stain. It has some minor dings and dents here and there so we are classifying this as fairly rustic in appearance. It has the original rare signed porcelain dial and brass bezel assembly that is in very nice condition. It measures 20" long x 11 ½" high x 6" deep and comes complete with the key and original pendulum. If your payment needs to be delayed, that will be fine as long as you stay in close contact with us, and send it when you say you're going to. We accept Paypal, plus others. Any payment that requires time to process (clear) will delay shipping. Email with questions concerning other forms of payment. Most clocks will be shipped within 5 business days of received payment. We like to give each clock sold a final test run and observation before packing. This helps insure that the new owner will have a satifying experience. All items are carefully packaged with around 1 1/2" of packing material between your purchase and the box. All items are shipped insured. We never anticipate damage but in the event that an incident occurs, we will help with insurance claims as much as possible. Be very sure to save all packaging material if there is a problem. Normally, all shipping costs are based on actual price for estimated weight plus a minimal fee for packaging material and insurance. In rare instances there may be a flat rate shipping price quoted. Smaller items can be combined to save shipping costs. Because clocks require large boxes, priority mail is expensive. We quote USPS Parcel Post and UPS Ground in most cases. ***For any shipments other than the lower 48 United States contact us first for a shipping quote. Do not go by the shipping calculator. All sales are final, (with the exception noted below). We try to keep an excellent feedback rating by being fair and honest. We try to describe all items accurately so that you pretty much know exactly what to expect when your purchase arrives. It should be understood before bidding that all antique clocks, unless otherwise noted, have knicks, scratches, tarnished brass, stains and dents which are normally aquired from long term honest use. It is nearly impossible to find one in "mint" condition. If a clock has damage from misuse, it will be noted. If a clock is sold as "in running condition", it means that we have test ran it before listing it and feel confident that it will run for you. If a clock is running properly when it arrives,... thats about the best we can do. We cannot guarantee that a clock will not break down, but will not sell anything that we expect to break down without noting that it is being sold as parts or for restoration. In the event that you are not happy, please first go back and read the description to make sure that the item was not misrepresented, and then email us. If we missed seeing some hidden damage, we will refund your money, both purchase price and shipping both ways. ***This does NOT include items sold as parts or not working***(Who knows what might be wrong with things like that)...if it says "as is" it's probably gonna need work. We are collector/restorers. I have been a member of the NAWCC since 1978. My daughter and I spend quite a bit of time traveling around the northeast buying clocks and clock parts. Many times we are able to buy large quantities from clock makers or clock dealers who are downsizing, or closing out altogether. During the winter months we homeschool, and work together in our family business known as Winding Springs Antique Clock Farm. You may notice that since joining Ebay in 2000 our feedback has been positive. We only receive feedback about a third of the time which means we have actually had several thousand positive transactions over the past 10 years that are not recorded in the feedback system. We would prefer not to deal with anyone who might consider leaving us a negative feedback. We try to describe everything exactly as it is and if we do something wrong, we will make it right. That being said, rather than give us a bad feedback, first give us a chance to return your money. If you email us on Saturday it may not be until Monday before you hear back from us. We do not use our computers on Sunday, the Lord's day, but will answer any emails Monday through Saturday and do whatever we can to resolve any problems. Please do not wait until late in an auction to ask questions. (We may not be here)****Also, please do not ask us to falsify shipping records for international shipping. Honesty is always the best policy. Template and graphics are properties of Original Template Designs. Every buyer gets a MyStoreRewards invitation for cash back
