Condition: the hinge for the bezel needs repair, as one of the small brass tubular parts of the hinge has come off and missing, and pendulum replaced. Otherwise this clock is in exceptional original condition, and young "Melody" still complete with not only his bow, but with all the strings on the violin as well. This clock sold new in 1904 for $50. For details, see Tran Ly's book on Ansonia [1998], page 388, fig 1501, current price guide is $2750. Height 25.2 inches
