Ansonia Clock Co. “Zenith”, ca. 1914.  A 15-inch crystal regulator with a worn original finish where much of the gilding is worn off.  There are four perfect beveled glasses and a signed porcelain dial with a visible escapement and ruby pallets.  The 8-day, time-and-strike movement is running without problem, but the rack and snail strike mechanism is not working properly.  The movement is signed.  Otherwise a nice example.  This model is not uncommon and would sell for around $225 on eBay in this condition.  $200-$300.
