Catalog Description:
C.1887, Ansonia Clock Co., Diana Swing, clock in good original condition. The bronze finish is mostly worn from the spelter statue, which it otherwise intact and with fine detail. The arm itself is a canister style; as with many earlier swing clocks, the movement is not signed (but is proper), and is running OK. Paper dial is good with no major stains. This clocks sold for 30.80 dollars in 1900, a bit expensive when you figure an Ansonia walnut shelf clock was only 4.75 dollars. Height 30 inches
