CONDITION:
heavy black slate case is in very good condition. Only the smallest of chips on a few of the corners. Very nice dial. Pallets are carnelian. The rear door has been relacquered at some point. Signed Ansonia movement with rear mounted rack strikes on a bell. We were unable to find this model in the reference sources. It was perhaps made for a particular retailer, though none is listed on the dial. This clock is very heavy if shipping is a consideration
