This Old "Ansonia" Clock, manufactured at least 75 years (or more), is the family property of Malcolm Hourigan.

Malcolm, who used to live in McCluskiegunj, (District Ranchi), Jharkhand, India, was given this clock by his father, Malcolm James Hourigan (Sr) before he died some years ago. it was originally his Great Grandparents' clock which has come down 3 generations to be with Malcolm presently.

Malcolm was offered as much as US$3,000/- about 12 years ago by an Australian but sentiments and a feeling that it should be worth a lot more prevented him from entering into a sale then.

Malcolm can be contacted by persons interested at malcolmhourigan@yahoo.com or at the following address:

The Digital photographs were taken by us on the 3rd January 2002 at about 12:00 noon and this page is thus as old as your current date will show.

Its currently ticking away in my little workshop where Mal is busy getting it shipshape while waiting for an interested buyer.

This is "Malu" with his clock. all these years, Malu has maintained it by himself and kept it in good working condition. the chimes are deep and melodious, every 1/2 hour and hour.
