Hi Haytham. As indicated above, Ansonia made hundreds of models of Bee clocks. But, if they did make a model that was a prizewinner at an exhibition you might be able to find out more by doing some further research or taking it to a horologist. See our Question of the Week on Horology for more information: http://museumvictoria.com.au/discoverycentre/discovery-centre-news/horology/
