This Beautiful Antique " ALL-ORIGINAL " Reddish-Pink Case with applied FLORAL pattern is a stunning example of an Ansonia Porcelain or Ceramic clock and is titled "TRAIL". It is signed on the back below the opening for the round dust cover "TRAIL ca. 1901" (see pic's). The crisp magenta purplish red case with its pink accents and lovely floral designs is just gorgeous. It is a true ANTIQUE ANSONIA clock, guarenteed!!!! This clock is listed on page 601 of ANSONIA CLOCKS & WATCHES by Tran Duy LY.. This FANTASTIC old time piece was made in the late 1800's through early 1900's and is one of the sweetest looking porcelains made by Ansonia. It is 9 1/2 inches wide X 10 1/2 inches high and about 5 1/2 inches deep. The 8 day time/strike movement is signed with a patent date of June 18th, 1882. It has been oiled and runs and keeps VERY good time and comes with its pendulum and a winding key. This beautiful old clock strikes the hour and half hour on a SUPER sounding cathedral gong that resonates nicely and is very pleasing to the ear. The VERY NICE 5 Inch " Original " American Sash dial is signed and has the Ansonia logo on it. T is some slight discoloration between the 5 & 6 (please view my photo) however, it is still Very Nice for being 100 + Years Old!!! The brass bezel has been cleaned and a coat of paste wax applied to help keep it from from tarnishing. The Floral Designs are still bright, beautiful and crisp on all sides of the case. (please see photo) This clock has NO CRACKS OR HAIRLINES anyw in this clocks case. The case has been thoroughly cleaned & is Still Very Vibrant and pleasing to the eye. T are a few minor chip touch-ups that are not really noticeable. It does show some light crazing from temperature variations in its life, which is not bad for being 100+ years old.
