This rare Winchester advertising clock was manufactured by the Ansonia Clock Company. Hardwood construction and 16 inches across, this clock features gold paint accent on the frame of the door and a white face with black numbers 1 through 12. In the center of the face is an advertisement for Winchester firearms and cartridges (see image). The back of the clock has an Ansonia Clock Company, New York paper label. The Ansonia clock company started in Ansonia, Connecticut, in 1851 and moved to Brooklyn, New York, in 1878. The company was a successful clock making business until the 1920s when huge debts required the company to sell a majority of the timekeeping machinery and tooling to the Soviet government's U.S. trading company Amtorg prior to the 1929 stock market crash. In 1969, the rights to the use of the name and trade marks were transferred to Ansonia Clock Co., Inc. of Lynnwood, Washington.

Very good, showing some mild wear and handling marks. The lower door has been repaired, and some minor wear is visible on the main door. Mechanically fine.
