Title: Waterbury clock
Post by: rond on January 24, 2015, 12:26:27 PM

Hello, I can't seem to find any info on this clock. It's interesting though. Has a couple of kids around what looks to be some kind of container with the word COTTON on it.

The back reads:
Waterbury Clock CO. USA

PATENTED
JAN, 15. 1878
MAY, 6. 1890
DEC, 23. 1890
JAN, 13. 1890
