Antique American Clocks
Ansonia Clock Co. steeple alarm, 1850-1854.
This is one of the initial clocks sold by Ansonia after
Anson Phelps bought out Terry & Andrews.
Note that the movement is signed "Terry & Andrews, Bristol CT", but the label
says "Ansonia Clock Co."
The case is 20 inches tall with a glossy finish and good walnut veneer.
Both glasses are likely
original, the decalcomania tablet especially nice; check out the men in stove-pipe hats and the horse and carriage.
The painted
metal dial is signed Ansonia (although it may be a replacement dial).
The hands are period.
The 30-hour movement is running
and striking on the hours on the wire gong; the alarm was not tested.
Note that the alarm mechanism sits in the lower left and
strikes on a brass bell.
There is a good label on the backboard.
A nice example.
