144.              $200

Ansonia Brass & Copper Co. “Drop Extra”, 1869-1877.  A 25.5-inch case veneered in rosewood with a nice finish and good veneer on the bezel.  Both glasses are old but the putty on the dial glass is newer.  The tablet on the pendulum door looks original.  Both drop finials are correct. The 12-inch dial is paper, old with some wear.  The hands are Ansonia issue.  The 8-day, time-and-strike movement is unsigned; it is running strongly and striking on a wire gong.  There is a good label inside.  Fontaine’s sold one in 2022 for $225. $200–$300.
