Catalog Description:
Ansonia Clock Co. hanging, "Reflector", C. 1883. This is the earlier of two models pictured in the catalogs. This is a great looking Reflector. Some very talented person completely repainted the 35" case, black like original. Only an astute clock collector could tell it wasn\'t original paint. 8 day movement, gong strike. 4 of 5 glasses are perfect (bottom right mirror is cracked). Very nice pendulum and beat scale. I saw one sell at the Chattanooga Regional earlier this month for $1800, and the finish was completely stripped. This is as nice as we have had, even considering the repaint. Ly-Ansonia #574.
