Ansonia Clock from late 1800s

This clock shows a figure of Don Ceasar which is also the model of the clock called "Don Ceasar" All these clocks have two patent dates which i dont have a clue why. This clock is made in Victorian style. The clock usually catches alot of eyes and usually sells for $500-$100 depending on the condition. The condition of your clock seems to be almost perfect and it runs too, i think it would sell for about $700.

This a very cool unique item of history

Thank you for your comment Samstopp, I did however get this appraised somewhere else, and it's not "Don Ceasar", it's "Don Juan" It also appraised at $1000.00-$1200.00

Since I'm selling it now, here is must of what I recieved on the apprasal (You will get the apprasail documents with purchase)

Movement: A gilt brass door in the back of the case opens to reveal this skeletonized brass Ansonia (so marked) movement of eight day duration, striking the hour and half hour and powered by two steel springs with anchor escapement and short pendulum.
