Ansonia "Russia" - Cast Iron Clock

by Gary
(Blue Springs, Missouri)

This is a cast iron clock with a patent of 1883.

Tran Duy Ly's Ansonia Book shows it as a model called "Russia" and shows an 1883 photo.

An auction site tells me that an Ansonia Russian Iron Enamel Mantle / Shelf Clock won first prize at the Paris World's Fair. But it also gives a dimension of 4.5 inches. There was no photo.

Would like any information about this clock.
