DR-21.            $50

Ansonia Clock Co. “Florentine No. 3”, ca. 1886. A second example, this one in the original (or very old) blue velvet.  The brass fittings here are still in good condition, although a corner piece is missing from the top front right side.  The side handles are brass although the loop handles are missing; the feet are also brass.  The dial glass is beveled, the two-part porcelain dial is signed and there is a visible escapement. The signed 8-day, time and half-hour strike movement is running and striking on the cathedral gong.  Feeling crafty?  This guy needs a new velvet coat.  $50–$150.
