Hello tomk81, that helps a lot. Thanks.
You have an Ansonia wood case mantel clock called the "Kirkwood" from circa 1901. It was part of their "K" assortment and was joined by the "Kensico" and "Kenmore" models. Evidently they all measured 22 1/2 inches high by 14 1/2 inches wide. They came in pressed Oak or "Dark Wood". Depending upon the movement used, they retailed for $4.25 up to $5.05 (which would be roughly around $120 in 2010). As of March 2012, they have sold recently on eBay from around $80 to almost $200.

I hope that helps solve your unsolved mystery. If so, please consider marking it as "solved".
Thanks!
