Ansonia Clock Co. "Reflector”, ca. 1883.
The 33.5-inch case appears to be mahogany with an old finish, a period Ansonia glass in good condition and four side mirrors, likely
original, with gilt stencils on the top panel and bottom curved panels (and middle drawer to store the winding key). This appears
to be an early model. The dial is very yellowed paper with a "J" logo that is reminiscent of Junghans, but Junghans did not
use this form of logo. the 8-day, time-and-strike movement is unsigned, consistent with it being manufactured for foreign distribution.
The clock is running and striking on a cathedral gong. The beat scale has been broken and repaired. This model is more
commonly seen with an ebony finish. A couple of similar mahogany examples sold at Cottone’s in 2021 for $800 and $950. $600-$1000.
