Larry, It appears to be an Ansonia movement. Usually they are marked as such. They used movements in this configuration for many years. It was also copied by some Asian clock companies. Hope this helps. Curly | |||

Thanks. Curly for answering my question, I don't think it's an Asian copy as it looks very old, and the dial to me is original coming from the Southern Pacific station in Tucson, Arizona | |||

GREETINGS LARRY, I NOTICED THAT THE RATCHET SPRINGS ARE FLAT PIECES OF SPRING STEEL WHICH IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR A JAPANESE MOVEMENT ALSO THE ADJUSTMENT ON THE BACK PLATE TO BRING THE FLY PINION CLOSER TO ITS MATEING GEAR IS ALSO COMMON TO SOME JAPANESE MOVEMENTS, PLUS ANSONIA MARKED ALMOST ALL OF ITS MOVEMENTS.

Thank you Eddie, I will have to look closer when I disassemble the clock for cleaning, and see if I can find any other identifying marks. Larry | |||
