Waterbury Flamingo Clock - Google Image Search I'm just trying to narrow things down here as to what you actually have. Thanks!

I have yet to find other examples of the specific clock that you have, other than those that I have already found.

I did find a couple of similar ones on the following site which might help to give you an approximate idea of the age and possible value of the one that you have.

antique clocks - Wood Case Clocks

Style: Waterbury Walnut mantel clock " MELROSE".
Comment:Original glass and great original pendulum.
Stock Number: 134-1574
Case: Walnut 20" tall
Works: Waterbury 8 day time and hour strike on bell.
Status: Sold @: $ 325.00, + P&S
Year: c. 1880.
Reference:Waterbury Clocks by Tran Duy Ly
Condition:Case: Very good, a new coat of finish many years ago, replaced paper on dial ; Works: Excellent.

Style:Waterbury " FELIX" mantel clock
Comment: Nice case in original condition
Stock Number: 134-1408
Case:Great pressed oak case 22" tall.
Works:8 day time and strike.
Status: Sold @ $225.00
Year: 1912
Reference: Waterbury Clocks by Tran Duy Ly and a "heads up" by a customer.
Condition: Case: very good; Works: running.

I would say that the older of the two, being the first one, might be very close to the style of the one that you have. And thus, might be one that would be of comparable age and value.
