My grandmother got this clock from her boss many, many years ago. Upon inspection it has Jun.14.81 imprinted on metal inside.
I think it might be a Savoy model, but the font of the numbers and lack of faceplate make me think it's a different version of the Savoy. Unless said faceplate is unfortunately missing...
It was in working order when I was a kid, so I assume it still runs fine. Since then the pendulum fell off (I still have it though). I also have the key that you'd wind it up with.
Both my grandmother and I are curious as to how much of a collector's item it is.
See eBay completed listings for Ansonia "Savoy".

You say the pendulum "fell off". They are supposed to be removed when the clock is moved. I think it should hook back on with no problem unless the suspension spring or pendulum rod was damaged.
Yeah, I think the rod was damaged/discarded since I don't see one.
Another interesting thing is that the hinge on the door to the clock is on the opposite side compared to the clock pictured in that ebay link.
