The things that keeps this from being excellent are the missing imitation bronze finish on the base of the clock (has simply peeled off with the passage of time), and a couple of small dimples in the ball of the arm. Otherwise this is a nice clock with good old gilding on the frame parts of the arm and generally nice patina. The Fortuna is the largest swing clock that Ansonia offered. For additional details on Ansonia swing clocks, see Tran Duy Ly's book titled Ansonia Clocks and Watches (1998), pages 695-708. Height 30 inches
