Ansonia Clock Co.
8 Day Striking Mantle Clock
Ansonia Clock Company 8 Day Striking "Star" shelf or mantel clock. Excellent condition for age; imported to Australia from New York, USA circa 1914 and made some time in the previous ten years. This model is unusual in that it has a tube / cylindrical pendulum. Clock still keeps time perfectly but the strike needs to be repaired. The back has been nailed shut for many, many years (it has been in the family for 50 years plus). Paper face is in excellent condition, as is timber scroll work. Glass door has gold design, also in great condition. Original key is included. No woodworm, no splits, no cracking (except for back panel). Clock stands 47.5cm tall (19 inches) and 11.5cm deep x 27cm wide, it weighs over 2.5kg. Pick up is preferred although postage can be arranged on request. Please see photos for best description. Condition is excellent for 100 year old item, could do with a little TLC. I have only cleaned it lightly so that it retains its lovely aged patina.
