clock

[EscapeWheel]

I'm sure you'd like to know more about your clock!

You say it's wooden. Can you give us the size? Height and width and a general description? Fancy carvings? Plain and square? Or something different?

Is it possible the date is more like 13 June 1881? I know it's hard to read....

Please write us back - we like to help ID old clocks!

I agree with escapewheel. Ansonia made thousands, upon thousands of clocks with hundreds of models. A photo would help. Jim

Do you wind the clock? Or does it run on batteries? My guess looking at your photo is that it is a more modern clock made it to look old... We would need photos of the movement… especially the back… is there an access door that would let you stick a camera in there so we could see what’s behind the dial? a larger closeup shot of the dial might also help... any markings there?

Hello, Christmasanne, and welcome to the forum.

The best method to date a clock is by looking at the back of the movement (the "works" or the "mechanism"). Please provide pictures of the back of the movement.

Also, does the clock have an electrical chord attached to it? I see something plugged into the receptacle behind the clock.

Regards.

EDIT: I see Bruce has the same observations as I have.

Thanks for your reply’s. I’m getting the photos to post.
