Evidently some of the No. 2 models came without a statue, this one has a statue, although it is a modern plastic exact look a like. I spent far too much time examining this clock trying to decide if it was modern or old, then happened to remember where it came from. The man who refinished this old clock made it look like brand new, which he likes to do. He said he replaced the mirrors and dial, sanded and polished all the wood, cleaned all the brass and even painted black the levers in the old Ansonia movement. The 8 day movement is running real strong and strikes a nickel bell each hour. Clock is 17 inches high, 20 inches high with the too tall, new dome. Ly-Ansonia, pages 96-97.
