Description
Condition: the oak case was refinished some time ago with a varnish that has a darkened with a bit of a red cast to it. Balance of the clock, dial, pendulum, beat scale and all hardware are original. The dial has darkened a bit with age and shows some wear from setting the hands. The price of this clock in 1904 was $19.90. We most commonly see these as timepieces, nice to see a striker. For reference, see Tran Ly's book on Ansonia clocks, pages 590-91. Ly price guide for 2004 shows $1600. Height 50.5 inches [128cm]
