303.    $100

Ansonia “Prism”, ca. 1914.  A 10.75-inch high crystal regulator with four chip-free beveled glasses, a visible escapement with ruby pallets, and a false mercury pendulum.  Gold plated according to the catalog, but most of the gilding has been polished off and there are some spot of corrosion and spotting.  The two-part porcelain dial is clean, the minute hand an improper replacement.  Contains a rack and snail unsigned movement that is running and striking on the half-hours. These run about $125 on eBay.  $125-$175.
