REVISED LISTING: We finally discovered it's stamped, original 1882 Ansonia N.Y. Patented stamped timepiece, very well wrapped & free from dust, elements in a dry stored environment, inside a closed box. We find both front wind mechanisms tight; fully wound. We then checked the timepiece 's hands by carefully advancing the minute hand to both hour & 1/2 hour numers, 11:00 & 11:30, respectively. We immediately heard the clock's chime ring w/the appropriate strikes per dial numbers, respectively 11 & 1, while observing top timepiece components movements rapidly spinning. The clock's original pendulum & key were also w/the timepiece, as shown. We now have a completed clock of impecible, pristine beauty. We cannot guarantee a perfect running order as we are not clock experts & unable to fully test. We recommend the timepiece be professionally serviced & securely installed within it's porcelain case, ready to display & admire, proudly.
