Ansonia “Forrest”, ca. 1894.  A 40-inch black walnut case with an old/original finish, thick and almost crusty.  The door glass is old, the signed + logo paper dial yellowing, the hands as shown in Ly’s book on Ansonia clocks, page 189.  The 8-day time and half-hour strike spring-driven movement is signed, running, and striking on a cathedral gong.  Like the case, the bob could use some polish.  No label to be found.  Horton’s sold one in 2019 for $725; RO Schmitt’s sold one in 2018 for $500.  Not a common clock.  $400-$600.
