Antique American Clocks February 2023
Sal-3. $50
Ansonia Brass & Copper Co. sculptured metal-front,
1869-1877. A 16.5-inch clock that is not shown in Ly’s book on Ansonia clocks, although the case-front here is the same as that
used on Mustang (page 373). The figural topper (a youth with a scythe and armful of wheat) is not shown; it mounts on top of
the wooden box and is separate from the spelter metal case-front. Both have been painted/touched up. The dial glass is
old, the bezel polished brass, the dial yellowed paper, the hands likely replacements. The 8-day, time-and-strike movement is
signed N Pomeroy, Bristol, CT; it is running and striking on the steel bell. $50-$150.
