PLEASE HELPMade by the Ansonia Clock Co., Brooklyn, NY, circa 1882. The case is black enamel cast iron with 9 pieces of silver cast ornamentation. The enamel finish is original, NOT a repaint. The 16 pieces of the case need to be disassembled, cleaned, polished and waxed. The 6 pieces of ornamentation also cleaned, polished, then sealed with lacquer, NOT re-plated. The brass dial needs polishing and lacquer. This clock never came from Ansonia with a statue of something on top. In short all parts are in great shape just needing some cleaning. The marked Ansonia movement is patent dated June, 13 1882. There is approximately $600 in restoration needed to get my clock to its like new appearance. Clock has original Ansonia pendulum and key. The sides of the case are flanked with winged Griffins. The front and side base ornaments feature the Greek goddess Diana. The gold incising around the dial is intact, it has not been touched up. This rare Ansonia is seldom seen and never in MINT original condition. There is NO damage, nothing broken, nothing missing, just the signs of a good cleaning are evident here.. Just a few very small nicks in the black enamel. This clock weighs 23 pounds. This weight does not include packing or boxing. Clock is 16" by 6 1/2" by 11" tall. Dial is 5 1/2" diameter. Photos available upon request. Submit your estimate of worth |

Hi Chelsey,
You mention a lot of about the cosmetic condition of your antique clock, but what about its mechanical condition? Does it still keep time? If your Ansonia clock is in good working order, its worth around $850-1500 dollars. Here are some similar clocks to comparison: ANSONIA MANTLE CLOCK currently for sale Antique Figural Clock.
