I can't see if the clock I have has the Waterbury movement for the extra key I have.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe start with the clock restoration to find if it's an early version of the #1 when Ansonia worked with other Connecticut clock companies as far back as 1831 when the brass movements became available. Ansonia Clock Co. was established 1851-1904 before moving to New York in 1905 after their fire destroyed the factory. Palmer's guide shows the Crystal Palace Clock made in 1880, but the clocks have been found with other clock company movements. They don't list Waterbury, but some searches have. I assume if it is a Waterbury which eventually became the Timex Company the history may be important to a collector?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
