99.      $200

Ansonia “Chile”, ca. 1906.  A 25-inch carved (routed) wood case described as “Dark Wood” in the catalog, likely refinished with an appropriate dark stain.  This looks like a pressed wood case but it is a step above that, as can be seen by a close examination.  The door glass is a modern replacement, the signed paper dial very old and the hands correct.  The signed, 8-day, time-and-strike movement is running and striking accordingly on a signed wire gong. No label, nice pendulum.  Uncommon.  $200-$300.
