Antique Ansonia/Seikosha Long Drop Octagon Clock Running Striking well. Now this is beautiful clock. It has seen lot of history (c1895) but still has a good looking case although I'm sure it has not been restored. (see the photos). It is possibly an Ansonia case although could be wrong. The movement is definitely a Seikosha, (the antique forerunner of Seiko) as labeled on the movement.  This clock is running and striking very well really reliable. The  pendulum glass has what looks to me like its original silver transfer on the door glass which adds to the original character and thus makes it more desirable. The pendulum is really well polished and looks great. It is striking  the hours, counting out the hours on the hour on its resonating cathedral coil gong. It goes for 8 days or more after winding fully and is supplied with an old key.  Standing approx. 57cm in height, 32cm wide and 13cm deep  with 19cm dial it would be great feature in your lounge on wall.
