Catalog Description:
C.1900, Ansonia Clock Co., "Porcelain Hanging No. 4", 30-hour hanging timepiece. The porcelain case is in very nice condition with minor wear on the applied gold highlights. Ansonia imported these cases, and the English porcelain is stamped on the back "Empire Works, Stoke on Trent". The unmarked movement and dial assembly is Not an Ansonia, and is slightly too large for the case. With a little looking you could probably find a movement for this case, as it is the standard Ansonia novelty movement. A picture of this model (with proper dial and movement) can be found in the Tran Du Ly\'s book on Ansonia Clocks and Watches page 643. With the proper movement, it would be worth around 1500 dollars. Height 10.5 inches
