Description

Condition: The 2 finials and 2 drops are recently turned (to match proper samples), the top tip of the crest is broken away and was smoothed over, the case has been refinished. The two statues are modern replacements. On the positive side, clock retains original dial, a great indicator pendulum (an uncommon model with Ansonia patent), a good tablet of Don Quixote (see Ansonia "AMERICA' for example of this tablet), and a good beat scale and cathedral gong. Generally very good condition. For details, see Tran Ly's (1998) Ansonia book, page 447. Height 24 inches
