ANTIQUE SMALL ANSONIA CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH VERY ORNATE CASE -
Item History & Price
You are bidding on a nice small antique American carriage clock with a very ornate case - it was made by the Ansonia Clock Company I would say around the late 1800s. It is working and running very well indeed. It has a rather crude little brass 30 hour lever movement - due mainly to age, it stops if you turn it upside down or put it on its back. It starts again and runs perfectly if you turn it upright and tap it gently of the palm of your hand -... just giving it a twist does not start it. The original key is missing which would have been kept inside in the small clip on the back door - it comes with a larger modern brass key that unfortunately is too big to go inside. It has a nice enamel dial with an ornate brass centre and mask. The pictures were taken without its front glass which was broken - it is now fitted with a new glass. The very ornate case, which I think is spelter, is in nice condition with no damage. It is just under 9cm tall to the top of the case, and approximately 11.1/2cm tall to the top of the handle when it is up. The clock has a base width of 7cm.I have tried to be very accurate with my description and mention everything I feel the buyer should know, however, please contact me if you have any questions or need any further information.Item No. KMW1464If you are bidding on any of my other auctions, I will combine postage on multiple items. Items paid for by Paypal will only be sent to the Paypal verified address. All UK items will be sent, unless otherwise stated, by Royal Mail 1st Class Recorded. All items, if under the maximum weight limit of 2kg when packed, will be sent overseas by Royal Mail Airmail International 'Signed For' service unless otherwise stated. Items are now sent this way to conform to eBay/Paypal regulations that safeguard both the buyer and the seller. This can make the shipping charge, particularly for overseas bidders, higher than possibly expected as the Recorded/Signed For service adds to the UK postage, particularly to the overseas postage. I can accept no responsibility in the very rare event that items get lost in the post, but I will endeavour to do all I can to help the buyer by contacting Royal Mail and getting them to do the necessary search. Please be aware that it is illegal to falsify the value or contents on Customs documentation and under no circumstances will I do this. Overseas buyers are responsible for all duties and taxes, if applicable, that are levied by their Customs.
