Can someone please give me some info on this clock that I recently bought at a flea market, any info would be helpful. Not selling it just would like to know the history behind it.
Thank you.

Hi. You have an Ansonia "Crystal Regulator No. 5". Ansonia made a series of these Royal Bonn Porcelain Crystal Regulators number 1 through 8. These models were from circa 1906 and could have been made several years before or after that date. They listed for somewhere between $31.35 and $40 which would be roughly $900 to $1,100 dollars in 2017. These clocks are very collectible and have maintained or even appreciated in value over the years if they are in good condition and free of any damage to the porcelain.
If that solves your mystery, please indicate "Mystery Solved" in your listing.
Thanks for sharing your Ansonia.
