Condition: extremely dirty, needs full restoration. This clock was brought to us from a barn and we had to clean the bird droppings off it. The hands were inside the back (minute shaft is frozen, do NOT try to turn hands). The porcelain numerals are all there, unbroken. Some case parts are loose, but none are absent. Most of the finish is gone, down to spelter and oxidation. Crystal is absent; bezel OK. Both 'scape pallets are still fine (just very dirty) For reference, see Ly's Ansonia book [2nd ed], page 399. Lots of potential on this one Worth $2000 when nice/original. Height 22.5 inches [57cm]
