Catalog Description:
Ansonia Clock Co. Crystal Regulator, "Floral", ca 1914. Someone at Ansonia wanted to make a clock of nothing but flowers. Well they succeeded. You cant tell much from the pictures in the catalogs, but hopefully my picture will show you that the clock is nothing but flowers. I see many, many kinds of flowers depicted on this 16-1/2 inch metal case. It was completely restored by Bruce Baziluk, a few years back, in a Syrian bronze color. 8 day, strikes half hours on a hanging cathedral gong, running nicely. 2 piece porcelaindial is perfect, outside escapement with jeweled pallets. The 4 glasses arenot beveled because the bevel would be behind the metal flowers. I have hadthis clock for a few years, in my collection, but I cant keep everything.Ly-Ansonia No. 116.
