Ansonia Clock Co. “Don”, ca. 1908.  An uncommon crystal regulator, 13 inches tall with a dull gold finish, four perfect beveled glasses, and a two-part signed porcelain dial with a visible escapement and ruby pallets. The time spring is broken or disconnected so it doesn’t run, and the strike is not cycling as it should and does not count the hours. A very similar example sold at Schmitt’s in 2017 for $275.  $150-$250.
