Waterbury Clock Co. produced this oak-cased advertising calendar clock, featuring a rope-carved crown cornice and matching base, a white calendar dial with black Roman numeral hours, Arabic date numbers from 1 to 31, and a red crescent moon hand alongside black hour and minute hands and a red seconds hand, signed "MANUFACTURED BY WATERBURY CLOCK CO. U.S.A." along the lower chapter ring. Lower glazed panel displays a gilt-lettered reverse-painted tablet advertising "MISSOURI CROOKS 5¢ CIGARS, MILD & MELLOW," and the case interior retains an original brass maker's plaque reading "WATERBURY CLOCK CO." mounted beneath the pendulum bob. Included is a winding key, shown separately. Case shows a warm oak finish to the front with natural, lighter wood tone visible to the reverse, overall solid and presentable with light wear consistent with age. This clock was hand made, repaired and movement restored by the previous owner and is excellent condition. A very unique piece with a working movement and proper key. Dimensions: 18 1/2"W X 36 1/2"H
