Ansonia Clock Co. porcelain cased, "Relay", C. 1904.
This is a large clock that is 13.5" wide and 11.25" high. I know it isn't one of the La whatever, but it is a very stylish and colorful case, clean as a pin, shining all over, brass shining. All Ruby, even the flowers are darker than most, but an abundance, and some would say an overabundance of gold striping. Note the open pretzel looking things on the sides. Outstanding 2 piece porcelain dial, open escapement, hands, thick beveled glass in the French style, machined bezel, and American sash. Completely original but with a couple of small imperfections; a place on the top the size of a match head that must have been a chip, now touched up with paint; a sliver on the back bottom edge is missing. Neither of the imperfections can be seen unless you are trying to find them. 8 day movement, strikes half hours on a gong, runs good, has a correct pendulum and back door. Ly-Ansonia #2591.
