Antique Ansonia Clock Company \"Boston Extra\" Early 1900\'s Open Escapement:

Up for sale is an Ansonia Clock Company “Boston Extra” Modelin a black iron casing. This clock was made by the Ansonia Clock Company in theearly 1900’s. Based on research, theclock first appeared in their 1904 catalog and is a 8-day time/movement withhalf-hour strike. It measures 11\"high, 15\" long. The case is very heavy cast iron.
I dropped this clock off with a Andersen’s ClockRepair shop in Macon, GA around November / December 2015 for a total overhaul. The clock was not working at the time and I didnot want to sell it for parts as this is nice example of early American craftsmanshipand I hated to see it be parted out or turned into a steampunk project. The internal mechanism and associated partswere cleaned, oiled, and adjusted for the overhaul and completed/ picked upApril 26th2016. The clock hasbeen sitting on my mantle for 9 days and it has kept time and has chimed everyhalf hour. The clock can be adjustedslower or faster from the front and I have a key that will adjust the speed andwind the clock. It is not the original key;however the key came from an antique shop and fits the clock without issue. You can also adjust the speed on thependulum, but it seems easier to adjust from the front.
There are a few places with minor paint wear and loss insome of the edges and corners. I believe the paint job is original. The previous owner did scratch their name andID on the clock. Please viewpicture. The representative at Andersen’s,the clock repair shop stated that the casing was in great condition consideringit was made at the beginning of the century.The case is very decorative with \"Verde Bronze Columns. The clockhas a heavy cast brass bezel with beveled glass. The dial is porcelain,and in great shape. It\'s signed \"Ansonia Clock Co.\" Themovement is the original 8-day time and strike brass movement. Eventhough the clock is used, it is in excellent running condition since beingoverhauled. I cannot guarantee the clock will run after shipping due tovibrations, bumps, and possibly lack of care from the delivery company, but Ido guarantee that it will be packaged well and will run after adjustment by aqualified person. The clock on its ownweighs around 24 lbs. I will be placingthe clock in a sturdy box and additional packing material so I am estimatingthe shipping based on 26 lbs with approximate measurements of 20x18x16. I will use Fedex as they are very competitivein pricing.
