Ansonia “Ringgold”, ca. 1886.  A 24.5-inch black walnut case, cleaned up nicely with reeded/fluted columns on the sides and a peaked pediment.  The stenciled door glass of a girl picking an apple is original and as shown in the catalog illustration.  The glossy paper dial is a replacement, the hands are correct.  The 8-day T&S movement is signed and running, striking the hours and half-hours on a nickel bell.  There is an alarm (untested), a two-barrel pendulum, and an Ansonia beat scale.  The back wall has a textured paper covering.  Part of a label on the back.  Horton’s sold one not quite as nice a year ago for $100.  $100-$200.
