Ansonia Clocks
The Ansonia Clock Company was one of the major 19th century American clock manufacturers.
The Ansonia Clock Company was founded on May 7, 1850 in Connecticut by Anson G. Phelps, Theodore Terry and Franklin Andrews.
Anson Phelps was the nephew of Eli Terry who was credited as the first clock maker to standardize clock works.
It produced clocks between 1850, its year of incorporation, and 1929.
In 1929 the company went into receivership the factory was sold to a Russian purchasing agent and the entire operation was moved to Moscow in the summer of 1930.
Terry and Andrews had previously manufactured clocks under the name of Terry and Anderson since 1841.
The Ansonia trademark has been used in the last few decades by a Lynwood , Washington sales operation on imported clocks.
