Antique American Clocks January 2020
311. $225
Ansonia “Queen Elizabeth”, ca. 1901. A 37-inch oak case in an old finish with some alligatoring;
the finials look correct for the 1901 edition, as is the crest and base. Door glass is old and wavy, there is a decal on the
bottom that is not original and could be removed with a razor blade. Dial is paper with considerable foxing, the hands correct. The 8-day, time and half-hour strike movement is signed and running, striking a cathedral gong. Spring-driven. A break
in the pendulum stick has been repaired with scotch tape. Decent label on the back. On eBay oak models sell for $250-$300;
Horton’s sold one a year ago for $250.
