Antique American Clocks January 2021
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.
