30.      $1200

Ansonia “Crystal Regulator No. 3” ca. 1914.  This porcelain regulator has a more traditional blue-green coloring scheme with pink flowers.  It stands 17.5 inches tall with four good, beveled glasses and tarnished brass columns.  The porcelain dial has some cracks, proper hands, and ruby pallets on the outside escapement.  The 8-day, half-hour gong strike movement is signed and running.  Horton’s sold a No. 3 in 2016 for $1950, and Fontaine’s sold a near-identical example in 2014 for $2500.  Not looking for that much here.  $1200-$1500.
