Well, my first(actually second, the first isn't back yet)clock. Ca.1890 Ansonia calander clock, I don't know what this particular model was called, but we are very happy with it!

Sam,
What a nice addition to your family. As well as being a nice clock, it will never have colic, need new shoes, want a driver’s license or go to college. The clock will never borrow money, either. Why did we not think of that when we were having kids?

Very nice and unusual clock Sam,


Ansonias have quite a following and we have many topics about them...

Find or Search for "Ansonia" in our Clocks Forum


Here is one close to my heart...

Click for topic: The Ansonia Clock we call "Margaret"


Congratulations on your acquisition,

Lindell

Thanks guys! The dial on my clock is not original, it is pieced together in 2 parts & appears to have been done many,many years ago. Other than that, it seems all original & is keeping good time, I'll be tweaking the regulation for a while though. Would love to find an original dial for it, but my clockmaker told me not to hold my breath. Actually, I kind of like the current one, seems to be hand painted and not quite perfect.
