Which do you mean, please? Flaming or flamingo?

Does your clock look like the ones that you will see by clicking on the following search? Waterbury Flamingo Clock - Google Image Search (http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&safe=off&q=Waterbury+Flamingo+Clock&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi) 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 (http://www.antiqueclocks1.com/woodsd3.htm)

Style:Waterbury " FELIX" mantel clock
Comment: Nice case in original condition
Stock Number: 134-1408
Case:Great pressed oak case 22" tall.

Status: Sold @ $225.00

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.
