Catalog Description:

Ansonia Clock Co., very large wall clock, the "General", ca 1914. Not as nice as the General's we had in past years, because it needs a little work. The case should be 68 inches high; of course with the top ornament missingit is a little shorter now. There are any numbers of people who can makethe top ornament, but it would help if you could borrow an original ornamentfrom someone. All the other pieces are intact. The 8 day, 2 weight movement, is signed and generally in good condition. The hands and weights are replacements, but are good replacements. Brass pendulum is not as smooth as we would likebut the dents can be smoothed. The big old case is hard to move or hang, and you will no doubt find a bruise or two caused by someone like me tryingto carry it thru a doorway. If you have followed our auctions you knowthis model brings some high figures, an oak one last year brought $4635.Ly-Ansonia pages 180-181.
