Ansonia Clocks

Ansonia mantel clocks are probably one of the more historical clocks of all time. The Ansonia Clock Company made these clocks during their reign in the nineteenth century. The company has produced millions of clocks during its lifetime in the business from 1850 to 1929.

In 1844, Anson Green Phelps started the Ansonia Brass Company, which became a leader in metal importation in New York. This company formed a subsidiary they called the Ansonia Clock Company.

Phelps partnered with clockmakers, Theodore Terry and Franklin Andrews to produce clocks that make use of his brass raw materials. This became a very good team when Terry and Andrews decided to sell half of their clock making business to Phelps and move to Ansonia, Connecticut where the brass plant is.
