My father gave this clock to my son. We are trying to identify it. The writing on the face is a little faded. It is Ansonia. The whole clock swings with the pendulum. We may be in need of finding replacement parts as it does not work for longer than a few minutes.
I cannot find the model name . Most likely the clock doesnot need replacement parts , it just needs overhaul . Disassemble , clean , polish , and lubricate . Those clocks are sensitive to dirt and lack of lube .
Thanks. Does anyone know where to look for a model name/number? We have not taken any of it apart yet.
The model is Mahogany No. 2 . Don't take your clock apart and spray it with WD40 . It makes a goopy mess .
Thanks. Now googling it, I see it is called a "swing clock". this helps. We will be very careful with the clock. We're wanting to learn more about restoring the clocks to original working order.
1923 or so, brass movement, swing clock
