608.   $1500

Ansonia “Apex”, ca. 1905.  This is the deluxe version of the Apex, fitted with a jeweled sash and pendulum. The Rich Gold finish is in good shape (although far from new) and all the trim pieces are present.  The top is not fastened down (it needs a nut underneath the top and is hard to get to without removing the movement), but that doesn’t matter unless you plan to carry it around with you.  There is a hairline crack in the porcelain outer dial between the 8 and 9.  All beveled glasses are just about perfect – I see a bit of a chip in the upper right corner of the front door.  The clock is running easily but the strike needs adjustment as it only strikes once on the hour and half-hour.  One sold at Harris in 2018 for $1700.  $2000-$2500.
