Waterbury Carriage Clock

[Zu-Astarti]

Picked this up on EvilBay. 30-hour time & strike. Anybody got a Waterbury book and can put a name to this tike?

 

[Steven Thornberry]

It's called the Major - 1906 catalogue in Tran (vol. 1)

Nice find Oren, very fancy case.

Thanks. I've seen these with time and alarm before but this is the first one I've had that's a time and strike. Kinda cool. It has a repeater button. Sitting here trying to figure out what the star wheel behind the snail is for.

could it be for the half hour blow?Put the minute hand on,move it foreward and see what it´s doing.

I get it now. The star wheel and snail are one unit. The flat spring pushes into the space between the teeth and indexes the snail to just the right spot when the rack falls.
