134.           $750

Ansonia Clock Co. “Georgia”, ca. 1892.  An enameled cast iron case with embossed metal panels holding gilded figures in standing poses.  The finish is original.  The case is 17.5 inches wide and 13 inches tall; note the loss of paint at the corners of the base.  The dial glass is convex and beveled; the dial has cartouche porcelain numbers and ornate hands, with a visible escapement.  The Ansonia 8-day, time and half-hour strike movement will run for a while and then stop.  It strikes on a cathedral gong.  This is one of the most desirable of the cast iron models; AAC sold a refinished example in January of 2022 for $1000.  $750–$1000.
