    Does your clock look like the ones that you will see by clicking on the following search? 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.
