      Hello harleygirl,
      It looks like your Grandmother's clock is a model called "Felix" made by the Waterbury Clock Co. Collectors Weekly has a nice, concise and informative article on Waterbury at this link: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/clocks/waterbury

      The "Felix" was offered in Oak or Walnut. Your example is pretty dark so I would guess that it's probably made of Walnut. The stenciled pattern on the glass looks like it is an original Waterbury design. The Felix is from circa 1906. Your example could have been manufactured several years before or after that date. This clock retailed for around $4,50 in 1906. That would be somewhere around $130 today when adjusted for inflation. Here's another example:

      It must have been a very popular model for Waterbury because you can find many other examples with a simple Internet Search on "Waterbury Felix Clock".
      Hope that solves your Mystery.
