212.     $50

Ansonia Clock Co. “Ranger”, ca. 1886.  An uncommon shelf clock with no sales in the Antique Clocks Price Guide.  The 20-inch walnut or perhaps mahogany case has an old finish and good patina; the door glass is original with a stenciled pattern.  All the finials are correct.  The paper dial is a replacement with an alarm ring but the alarm mechanism has been removed.  The signed, 8-day movement is running and striking a wire gong on the hours and half-hours.  Ansonia beat scale inside, two-barrel pendulum, and a label on the back.  A nice example.  $50-$150.
