Ansonia Brass & Copper Co. "Hanging Monogram", ca 1874.
This early spring driven 8 day timepiece is as original as I have seen of this model, and I have only seen four others. Of course it has been refinished and it is immaculate like all of this collection. The one really outstanding part of this clock is the gold and black glass. The original putty is still in place. One top finial was broken at the base and has been pinned and glued. I doubt it will make a shipping trip without needing glue again. Small thing. There is a new paper dial on the old pan. The small rectangular movement held by three mounting blocks, one of which is now held to the case with machine screws, rather than fill the old holes and use regular screws. Oh well, no big deal I guess. To remind some collectors not familiar with this model, the pendulum hangs off center. Ly-Ansonia #547.
