56.            $1800

Ansonia Clock Co. “Gloria Ball Swing”, ca. 1901. A beautiful example of this iconic swing clock, 28.5 inches tall; I think the finish has been professionally restored, but it looks very much like an original finish.  I see no chips, scrapes, or damage.  The swing ball has its original finish, with no scrapes or losses.  It is swinging without problem.  Ansonia key included.  Schmitt Horan, Fontaine’s, and Heritage Gallery sold similar examples in 2023 for $1800, $2800, and $1600, respectively.  $1800–$2400.

BID INCREMENTS
 
I use the following bid increments to assign the final sale price.  If your winning bid is less than one increment over the second highest bid, you are assessed your full bid amount.
 
   BID                     INCREMENT

$1-$249                       $0            The bid you place is the price you pay –                                                       no increments applied
$250-$499                   $25
$500-$999                   $50
$1000-$2499               $100
$2500-$4999               $250
$5000-$9999               $500
$10,000 >                    $1000
 
If you are the only bidder and you bid less than $250, you will pay your full bid amount if you are the winning bidder; if you bid more than $250, you will get the item for $250 or the minimum bid price, whichever is higher.
