170.     $200

Ansonia Clock Co. “La Vergne” Royal Bonn clock, ca. 1914.  An 11.75-inch by 14-inch wide porcelain case with mauve to green coloring, bright gold highlighting, pink roses on the front and a visible escapement.  The outer porcelain dial shows several cracks; it sits behind a beveled glass in a standard bezel.  I see no cracks, chips, or repairs to the case; the 8-day time-and-strike movement is signed and running, but the strike hammer is missing the cathedral gong.  A very colorful example of this popular clock of its era.  $200-$400.
