Alarm Clock Doc

Here's a classic Waterbury alarm clock, named the "Spasmodic". Waterbury gave it this name because of the alarm feature. When Westclox introduced this same feature, they simply called it a "repeating" alarm. Both terms refer to an alarm that sounds, then stops and continues repeating until the alarm is shut off. Waterbury did not put manufacture dates on their clock movements, but this one has three patent dates. The last date being February 12, 1907. On that basis, I'm dating this one 1907-1908.
