(model unknown)	Maker: Ansonia Clock Co., New York, NY Built: c. 1900 Case: Green Onyx Well, it took about five years and dozens of marts and hours on the Internet, but I finally found a green onyx clock made by Ansonia! This clock is not listed in any extant catalogs, but its design features and construction are absolutely in keeping with Ansonia designs of the period. The green onyx is really beautiful. One of the joys of collecting is having specific goals, and the patience to make them happen. This clock is a testament to that patience.
(model unknown)	Maker: Waterbury Clock Co., Waterbury, CT Built: 1900's Case: Green Onyx My quest for a green onyx clock also turned up this small jewel.The dial is not signed, but the movement is, and there is no evidence of a "marriage" (the term for a clock in which the movement maker does not match the case or dial maker). The case is typical of American design and construction of the era.
"Albany"	Maker: Ansonia Clock Co., New York, NY Built: 1890's Case: White Onyx The fabulous gilt dial really makes this clock. (I'm going to have to take a better picture of it.) It has a jeweled visible escapement. Apart from some minor stuff, I need a replacement for the gong. If you can help, please check out What I'm Looking For .
"Alvira"	Maker: Ansonia Clock Co., New York, NY Built: 1895 - 1920's Case: White Onyx A long-lived model in the Ansonia line. Mine has a tiny, almost imperceptible hairline crack in the porcelain dial, but is otherwise in perfect condition. There is beautiful depth in the onyx.
(model unknown)	Maker: Ansonia Clock Co., New York, NY Built: c. 1890 (?) Case: Black and red marble Well, the great Ansonia identifier struck out on this one, too-- it's not in any of my catalogs. I suspect it was made in the late 1880's or early 1890's, when Ansonia was just coming out with a line of genuine marble clocks. This was probably a short-lived model from in between the 1886/7 and 1894 catalogs.
