Catalog Description:
C.1890, Ansonia Clock Co., "Fisher Swing" clock in generally good original condition. The arm has been moist at some time and there is a bit of corrosion around the dial, and the dial with stains and wear (it is still quite good). The canister has taken a bump on the right side. The movement is a bit dirty, but is still running; rear plate is properly die stamped with Ansonia information. Set stem is lacking, but the small end of a double end key works fine. The statue retains original patina in very good condition; bottom felt is missing but is easily replaced. Between 1880 and 1900 Ansonia used two heights of iron bases, as this is the short one, the height is a couple inches less than some catalogs indicate. It is a decent example. Height 22 inches
