180.    $100

Ansonia Clock Co. steeple, 1850-1854.  This 20-inch steeple contains a Terry & Andrews signed 30-hour movement with an Ansonia label from Ansonia, CT, indicating that it was likely stock from the Terry & Andrews business after its sale to Ansonia Clock Co. in 1850.  The mahogany veneer has some bubbles, cracks, chips and wear; the glasses are old and likely original, given that the tablet depicts Theodore Andrews home.  The tablet shows considerable losses.  The clock is running and striking a wire gong; there is a good label inside.  $100-$200.
