88.      $200

Ansonia “Para”, ca. 1904.  One of Ansonia’s wall clocks that was not named after a Queen (there were at least seven “Queen” models).  The 39-inch black walnut case has been refinished with a light stain, all the finials are present and correct.  The door glass is old, the signed paper dial original with the Ansonia logo, the hands are correct. The 8-day, time-and-strike movement is signed and running, striking on a cathedral gong on the hours.  A good Ansonia beat scale on the bottom and a good label on the back.  No sales records for this apparently rare model in either the Antique Clocks Price Guide or LiveAuctioneers.  $200-$500.
