This silver finish timepiece looks very similar to the "Barge", but the Barge has a different design on the base (a shell). This timepiece is in nice condition, much of the silver finish worn off; note there was a bit of corrosion on the sail above the dial, but not obvious under silver touch-up. The front bezel that supports the glass has lost its nickel finish. The dial has been very carefully re-papered and with proper Ansonia logo; the hands are original. Seems to run. An uncommon clock. Height 14.5Ó $225-$325
