Was looking at an Ansonia clock on eBay which was wooden it had a lable Sussex, i thought the Sussex was a brass Ansonia clock?

Tran duy Ly's Ansonia Catalog Reprint illustrates "Sussex" as #116 on page 135 (hanging clocks) as a 1924 catalog entry. 8-day running 11-1/2" square cased, white dial, lever movement 8-1/2 square white dial.

There was a wood cabinet clock (in oak per 1894 catalogue) called the Sussex and a brass-finished metal clock called the Sussex (1901 catalogue). Not unknown for names to be recycled.

Thank you very much Steven. you have answered that fully. Its just the wooden clock is on its way to me, but my own findings showed brass, by all accounts it hasn't got the correct top finial, i wonder what the original could be?

The picture in this link will give you an idea of what the top of the Sussex cabinet clock was like. It matches the catalogue picture in Tran.
