Antique American Clocks
Ansonia "Ringgold", ca. 1886.
A 24.5-inch black walnut case, cleaned up nicely with reeded/fluted
columns on the sides and a peaked pediment.
The stenciled door glass of a girl picking an apple is original and as shown in
the catalog illustration.
The glossy paper dial is a replacement, the hands are correct.
The 8-day T&S movement is
signed and running, striking the hours and half-hours on a nickel bell.
There is an alarm (untested), a two-barrel pendulum,
and an Ansonia beat scale.
The back wall has a textured paper covering.
Part of a label on the back.
Horton's sold
one not quite as nice a year ago for $100.
