The American Ansonia Clock Co., peak production period 1880s to 1920s

The Ansonia Clock Company was an American clock manufacturer that was founded in 1851 in Ansonia, Connecticut. It was originally known as the Ansonia Brass and Copper Company and began as a brass and copper manufacturer. However, in 1854, the company decided to expand its operations into clock making.

Under the leadership of its founder, Anson Greene Phelps, the Ansonia Clock Company quickly became one of the largest clock manufacturers in the United States. The company produced a wide range of clocks, from cheap and simple models to expensive and ornate ones.

The peak production years for the Ansonia Clock Company were in the late 1800s and early 1900s. During this time, the company was one of the largest clock manufacturers in the world, producing a wide range of clocks for both domestic and international markets.

In the 1880s, the Ansonia Clock Company was producing over one million clocks per more...

The Ansonia Clock Company continued to thrive into the early 1900s, with production peaking in 1904 when the company produced over 500,000 clocks. However, the company began to experience financial difficulties in the 1910s, and by the 1920s, it was struggling to remain profitable. In 1929, the company declared bankruptcy and was forced to close its doors.
