Mantel or shelf clock

Clockmaker - Waterbury Clock Co - USA, 19th century end - 20th century beginning. These timepieces were called "Gingerbread clocks" because they feature carved wooden decorations that resemble a gingerbread house. They were particularly popular during the Victorian era, often placed in the kitchen. Original parts, including the key. The clock mechanism works, but needs adjustment as it tends to delay the correct time :).
