10.       $1200

Ansonia “Virginia”, ca. 1904.  A second example of the Virginia.  The same bronze and silver facing, and again not repainted but in the original finish.  And again, the black iron case has been re-lacquered. Here the dial has porcelain cartouche numbering and ornamental gold hands.  The pallets are steel.  I cannot get this one to run, the strike is frozen and the time spring is either unattached or broken.  The 8-day Ansonia movement is signed, and there is a cover over the back door.  A beautiful example nonetheless.  $1200-$1800.
