I pick this ansonia up a few years ago and have never been able to determine the model. The movement has smooth plates with spring barrels. Which places it in the 1890's.

Read the FAQ's and learn how to post a picture properly if you expect help. While you are reading it doesn't take long at all to read the site rules. You will find tons of help here if you go with the flow and not buck the system. It really is a good site.
Its my phone will download to computer later and fix.
Obviously you read and understand the FAQ. Most new people here just blame the site. Make sure you orient it on your computer and SAVE to a new file name. If you save it as the same file name it may or may not work right.
Great job orienting that photo. Be patient folks get on here at all different hours but there are some super good clock people on here.
Fixed itself nwacc couldn't figure this beast out
The NAWCC is a great resource for collectors of watches and clocks.
Not every clock ever made has surviving documentation or catalog listings. Sometimes labels are still present, often they do not. The original owners most certainly have long since passed away. I've never seen this model before. There must not have been very many made. Good luck with your research.
Here are a couple of photos of nice, well cared for examples of this model:

I had one person tell me that the model was Kyoto, but I have had people swear my 77 lincoln was a Cadillac. So until I find some kind of document I'm not sure. However it does resemble a pagoda.
