Ansonia Brass & Copper Co. “Large Gothic Gem”, 1869-1877.  The rosewood veneer on this 18.5-inch clock is practically perfect.  The glasses are original, the dial glass held in with putty, the lower glass has yellowed perhaps due to a lacquer coating to preserve the reverse-painted image.  The paint on the metal dial is old as well; the 8-day time-and-strike movement is not signed that I can see.  It is running and striking as expected.  There is a good label inside.  A very nice example.  $100-$200.
