This Waterbury tambour mantel clock was made around 1920. The movement plates are steel that have been given a thin plating of brass. Brass bushings were inserted in the plate so that the pivots (steel gear shafts) can turn in brass holes as usual (steel on steel would cause severe wear).
This clock strikes the hours and half-hours on a heavy coil gong. The case is 17 1/8 inches wide and 9 3/4 inches tall. The dial's minute track is 4 3/8 inch diameter, and the minute hand is 2 1/4 inches from center to tip.
