Ansonia Clock Company, "Cabinet Antique", ca 1894.

This is a cousin to the Cabinet Antique No. 1, probably made at the same time. Both sold for $32 in 1894, which was twice what you would have paid for an Ansonia Capitol or Bagdad. The 20 inches high mahogany case is very nice with a few age marks. All the brass was removed, cleaned, and polished, by Bruce Baziluk. The clock is near perfect and is highlighted by the cartouche numerals and the brass dial overlay. There is a French sash and a heavy beveled glass. This model has an 8 day movement, strikes a gong on half hours and hours, and is running. This is a hard to find model, and almost impossible to find in this condition. Ly-Ansonia No. 835 and No. 836.
