DESCRIPTION:
Ansonia Clock Co., New York, NY, "Fortuna Ball Swing" cast spelter, 8 days, time only swinging arm mantel clock, c1906
CONDITION:
we believe that the swinging arm on this larger rare model had the "Red Enamel" finish which can be seen on top and bottom ball areas that were covered; but the lacquer has now darkened and turned it brown. The large figure retains an old and worn bronzed patina, but no losses or damage. The movement ticks and looks correct, although not visibly signed, but the suspension block needs repair. Ht when hanging 31 1/2".
