Ansonia Clock Co. “Monterey”, ca. 1904. A distinctive enameled
iron case, 9.5 inches tall and 17 inches wide, with figurals on the corners and plaques of cherubim on either side of the dial. There is a visible escapement over a signed Ansonia porcelain dial with some hairline cracks, behind a flat beveled glass in the French
sash. The hands are proper, the pallets on the escapement are steel. The Ansonia 8-day, time and half-hour strike movement
is running and striking on a cathedral gong. Schmidt’s Antiques sold a similar example in 2020 for $180. $150–$250.
