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.
