<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 428255, member: 25&quot;]Looks like a mid range Ansonia time and strike 8 day mantel or shelf clock from the first decades of the 20th C.</p><p>Looking for a specific model name is fairly futile as it is pretty meaningless to clock people who can see exactly what it is and do not shop for clocks by model, just maker, type, quality and condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>It does have one interesting technical feature, a pendulum adjustment through the dial. A watch key on the small arbour in the hole by the 12 turns a gear on top of the pendulum assembly to raise and lower the pendulum for minor timing adjustment. This idea was invented by Brocot in France in the 1860s but is unusual in American clocks, indeed I do not recall having seen it but may have simply forgotten.</p><p>I suspect that when&nbsp; it strikes the movement sounds like a bag of loose parts rattling around but this is normal, working tolerances in most mass market US clocks are so large they will almost work as long as all the bits are in the same room.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
