Ansonia Clock Co. “Roy” crystal regulator, ca. 1914.  A bow-front crystal regulator that may be the only model Ansonia made with a bowed front glass.  It is 11.25 inches tall; the four beveled glasses are chip-free except for a tiny chip in the lower left corner of the front glass, the brass shows light tarnish.  The convex porcelain dial is decorated with flowers, the hands are Ansonia.  The 8-day time and half-hour strike signed movement is running and striking like a champ. The most recent sale was at RO Schmitt’s in 2016 for $250.  $150-$250.
