Hi Everyone!  My husband and I recently purchased a 1967-built house following the owner's death.  The family sold it with various items still remaining in the house.  One of the items was this wooden case Waterbury clock (the only way I know this much is from what is readable on the paper attached to the back side).  I cannot match it with any online images of Waterbury clocks.  Can anyone give us some information on it?  We would greatly appreciate it!  Thanks in advance!!!

This style are known as a Gingerbread Clock so called because of the of  style ornamental embellishment of their wooden cases, complemented the decorative quality of Victorian home and furniture design. It has a striking movement and I would say 8 day duration many strike 1 on the half hour then the correct number on the hour. The hands are in the style called Maltese Cross, the dial has Roman Numerals. I would say the date would be any thing from 1880's to 1914. here is a link you might find interesting
