Ansonia Brass and Copper Co., "DROP EXTRA", Calendar, with Wm. A. Terry patent calendar, c1871
Anonymous (not verified)
24 October 2024
the attractive rosewood case has some minor losses and a small bubble in the bezel area; the original finish was varnished over some time ago which has left the surface irregular. The original label is good and original hands intact; period tablet is old and perhaps from another clock, however looks fine. The original dial is good with minor losses, and the Terry Patent portion is a bit worn and light; note calendar wheel has been re-blacked. Information on this and other models with the Terry improved calendar can be found in Tran Duy Ly's book titled "CALENDAR CLOCKS" (1992), PAGES 20-21. Ht 26"
