    Just picked this up from local antique store/clock repair shop today. I have never seen an Ansonia with so many intricate designs and details. Does anyone know what this particular clock model name is by chance? I’m super excited to have this new project to work on and hopefully bring back to life. Thanks for checking it out!

      Hi, Dschmid. :-)

      Your clock looks like it might be a variant of the Ansonia Virginia (yours doesn't have feet).

      Here's a Worthpoint listing for a footed Ansonia Virginia that gives quite a bit of detail:

      You might want to find out whether your local library has or can borrow through the inter-library loan system a copy of Tran Duy Ly's 1998 Ansonia Clocks & Watches book:

      https://search.worldcat.org/title/41537368

      You can buy a copy, but it seems a bit dear:

      Thank you! It does have the feet but they are not pictured. I’m going to overhaul the movement soon and just preparing to disassemble. Thank you for the positive ID. I guess I can mark it off as mystery solved!

      Dschmid, You're very welcome. :-)

      Our resident clock expert bruce99 has been worryingly quiet for months now. :-(

      Google Lens turned up a footed Virginia, so I took a shot. That yours actually has feet clinches it.

      Thank you for marking this post as "MYSTERY SOLVED. :-)

      Thank you for the worthpoint link and Ansonia book. I went ahead and purchased that. Of all the makers of antique clocks I seem to favor Ansonia the most! Not to mention I think they are easier to repair.

      Dschmid, You're quite welcome. :-)

      That's an interesting observation about Ansonia clocks being easier to repair.
