Quite Scarce
Gazo "Capistrano"
circa 1979 |
|
|
Ship From So. CA

Sometimes we read copy for a clock for sale claiming it is "rare" when, in fact, like this one, it is a production clock and not rare at all. However, this one's pretty scarce. In the 28 years we've been in business this is only the second one we've ever had to sell. Scarce.
We've owned this particular intricately carved "Capistrano "model from the Gazo Family Clock Factory for many years but need to clear some wall space for new clocks coming in. Our loss – your gain!
Physical: The alder case, which measures 12"w x 41"h x 6"d is in excellent original condition. It has hung in a hallway in our home and not in direct sunlight so the case is not bleached out.
Mechanical: The eight-day chiming movement was just checked by our technician and is in excellent running order.
Comments: The beautiful, classic "baroque" style of this clock has long been in demand through generations of changing fashion. This one will look great in your home and not take up a lot of space in the process. Give us a call to start the process; we expect it won't last long on our site.

Ansonia Regulator "A" in Walnut, c.1910
with Gong Strike (not wire) |
|

 Ship From San Diego County

(0riginal Catalogue Drawing)

Over the years we've generally not had clocks this size and most of the Ansonia "Regulator A"s we've seen have been in oak and with a (crummy-sounding) wire gong for the strike.
Physical: The beautiful black walnut case measures 32"h x 17"w x 35"d and is in excellent physical condition. Clearly, it has led a charmed life over the last 114 or so years. Lower glass original and possibly upper. Rubber stamp on back says: "16 Sep 1910" most likely the manufacture date.
The 11" diameter dial (original paper overlay) is in very good condition with a small scuff (age-appropriate) between VI and VII.
Mechanical: The original movement is in excellent running condition. We hung it here and it started right up. Subsequently, we opened it to lubricate and photograph the mechanism, which appears to be quite clean. It is keeping good time.

This clock has what was an upgrade not only for striking the half and hour, but also on a heavier gong instead of a thin coiled wire (then a $.40 option on a $10.90 clock – they're a little more expensive today)! As a result, it has a mellow striking sound.
Comments: Pretty clock, nice to have the black walnut (most were ash), runs well, priced right. How come you haven't already picked up the phone to call us? (!)
