Catalog Description:

C.1914, Ansonia Clock Co., "GENERAL" wall regulator in oak and in very good original condition. The only minor replacement is the front door glass which is new and the Regulator decal is not appropriate (note they did stencil on the word regulator in all block caps in the years 1886 to around 1904, but these clocks were offered only in ash or black walnut). This oak model would have been made later and would have had a clear glass. This clock uses Ansonia's 8-day, double weight, time only movement with seconds hand. The pendulum bob has 4 or 5 dents, weights, hands, beat scale and case hardware all proper, and the original dial is quite good with only minor losses. Original finish was over-coated with a light coat of shellac; looks fine. For details on this model, see Tran Duy Ly's book titled Ansonia Clocks and Watches, (1998) pages 180-81. Height 68 inches
