Would really like to know about this clock has no Patton number does that mean it’s pre-Patton office ?

What is the name of the Clock Works? Can't tell him your picture all I can see is Clock Company.
"In your picture" photo and text editing on this site is terrible!
Is it Ansonia?
Ansonia it is. Shows in pic. #2.Also showing a number - not sure if model or patent number.
This clock looks just like yours except gold face.

You have an Ansonia model called the "Savoy" from circa 1904. You can easily find other examples online by looking up "Ansonia Savoy".
Your particular version with the American Sash and Dial original listed for $8.40 in 1904. That would be the equivalent of about $250 in 2020. As far as today's market value is concerned, you can search eBay's 90 day archive of completed sales for this, or similar models to get some idea. Does the clock run and strike the hour?
Your clock's case is made of black enameled cast iron with finished spelter alloy decorations. The movement is an 8-day Time and Strike.
Hope that solves your mystery. If so, please indicate "Mystery Solved" in your posting for this clock.
Thanks,
