Ansonia “Jumper No. 2”, ca. 1891.    The No. 2 Jumper is slightly smaller than the No. 1, at 14.5 inches tall.  The nickel plating on this example is a bit dull and I cannot exclude the possibility that part or all of it has been repainted.  Nonetheless, it looks good and the paper dial is clean; the hands are correct.  The bisque doll matches the girl in the catalog illustration (Ly, Ansonia Clocks & Watches, page 66) and she is also bobbing happily. The one-day movement is signed.  These two look good together!  The No. 2 Jumper seems to be a bit more common than the No. 1, with two sales in 2018 for $600 and $700 at Wooten & Wooten and Fontaine’s, respectively.  $500-$700.
