Hello Bambini!
Welcome.
Your heirloom antique Waterbury clock is called the "Albany". It is from 1891 and the case is made from Walnut wood. I don't have the original list price on it but these so-called "Gingerbread" or "Kitchen" clocks were a good value for the money. They were very popular and made in a wide variety of models but all of the major American Clock Manufacturers. Your clock looks sto be in good, original condition. It does appear to be missing two finials. Here's another example with the finials and the optional alarm feature: http://www.clockprices.com/waterbury-albany-shelf-clock.html. There are several examples to be found on the Internet if you search on the name of the model.
I hope that solves your mystery. If so, please check the "Mystery Solved" box in your listing.
Thanks for sharing your heirloom with us.
Bruce
