Description

See Ly Ansonia book, fig 475; current price guide = $1300, which is certainly conservative on this particular clock. There is some mild pitting and rust on the iron base and other minor oxidation, and hinge is missing on rear dust cover {snaps into place OK}, however this clock is otherwise "about as good as it gets" Ht 21"
