This Antonia mantle clock was passed down through my husbands family, along with another mantle clock. It has a porcelain dial with no chips or cracks, crystal regulator, bevel glass with no chips, and its original pendulum. It is 12 inches high. It has a two sided key. Anyone know it's worth? Many Thanks.

Hello,
That's a very nice crystal regulator.
It looks like you have an Ansonia model called the "Peer" circa 1914 with the plain, solid porcelain dial. They also came with the two-piece, visible escapement. I would guess your clock to be worth around $275 plus or minus $50 at auction.
Here's one very much like yours, but with the fancier pendulum, which sold for $300 in January: http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/10623437_ansonia-peer-model-crystal-regulator
Hope that helps.

I am moving to Louisiana next week and I was trying to find out about 2 clocks I have and guess what the clock you have is much like mine. Mine is not as nice because he face is cracked and missing a piece. The numbers are Roman Numerals. I have never used this site, what a treat!
Thanks for posting your clock.
