SP-9.              $50

Ansonia Clock Co. “Prism”, ca. 1914. A 10.75-inch-tall brass case, badly tarnished, with four beveled glasses.  There is a short crack in the lower left corner of the front glass.  The two-part porcelain dial bears the Ansonia logo, no cracks, with proper hands.  The bezel is jeweled, as is the pendulum bob.  The pallets are ruby.  The 8-day, time and half-hour strike movement is signed and running, but the rack and snail strike is slipping and has a hard time stopping.  Polish could make a big difference.  $50-$150.
