Ansonia Clock Co., Royal Bonn case, “La Nord”, ca 1904.
This is an outstanding Royal Bonn case in colors I have never seen before, dark chocolate browns, yellow roses, and more unusual no gold gilt. The case is perfect. Bezel, dial, hands, open escapement movement, all are perfect. This clock came with the Miller collection. Case is 14 1/2 inches wide, 12 inches high. It should sell in the $1300-$1800 range. Ly-Ansonia No.2584.

Ansonia Clock Co. “La Nord”, Royal Bonn case stamped and signed front and back, ca 1904.
Another excellent clock from the same collection. It is a big clock, standing 14 1/2 inches high, 11 1/2 inches wide. 8 day, gong strike, Rocco sash, beveled glass, 2 piece porcelain dial and open escapement. The only thing keeping me from saying this clock is perfect, are 4 faint little hairlines, which you could probably make disappear with a cleaning, or just install a replacement dial ring. It wouldn’t bother me, just like it is, but if you are trying to collect a perfect set of Ansonia Royal Bonn’s you will want to change the dial. Primary color is white, with a lot of light blue, rose, yellow and purple flowers, and a smattering of gold around the case edges. More flowers on top and sides than you see on most models. Complete, and a very nice Royal Bonn. Ly-Ansonia, page 607.

Ansonia Clock Co. Royal Bonn, “La Nord”, ca 1904.
One of their larger cases, 14.5 inches wide and almost 12 inches high. The colors are dazzling in pastel shades of blue, green, yellow, rose, and gold for accent. The movement, as usual, is 8 day, strikes a standing gong on the hours and half hours. Like most of Ansonia’s finer porcelain clocks, it has a beveled glass, 2 piece porcelain dial, open escapement, and original hands. The dial ring has some faint hairlines and a tiny chip around one arbor, none of which is bad enough to get excited. I found another 2-piece dial in nice condition, which I will ship with the clock and you install it. This is a very attractive clock and I see some good appreciation in value once the dial is changed. Ly-Ansonia No. 2584.
