Waterbury Eight Day Steeple Clock

This is my second Waterbury Steeple clock. It's the same company, size, and style as the previous steeple clock, but with a few differences.

First, the movement is an 8-day (rather than 30 hour) with pinned plates. It was also made around 1860.

The only other difference is that the case is slightly deeper, and the door is angled inwards, rather than the previous clock, which is the reverse (sloped outwards).

The clock features it's original dial, with club hands (my favoutite type), original pendulum, gong, and pendulum holder (piece of wire inside the case). No key was with the clock.

The upper glass is cracked (vertically) but since it's the original wavy glass (over 140+ yrs old) I decided to keep it. The bottom glass shows a reverse painted (printed design, then painted on the back of it) scene showing the Girard College, in Philadelphia.

When I first got this clock it looked rather depressing. It had been painted with a very thick beige-brown faux-wood effect, and it was dirty beyond belief (all over). After stripping it, I discovered that the case was in very good condition with almost no flaws to the original walnut veneer (see "Specs" for more info).
