Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Regulator No. 2”, ca 1928. Near perfect 36 ½ inch high quarter oak case, clean, polished, ready to hang and enjoy. All wood case parts and internal parts appear to be original to each other. The original painted metal dial is only slightly soiled/aged, the slightest hint that the paint may be fragile, but that is normal for ST dials for they usually have lost a lot of paint by this time. It is signed in two places, and has three correct hands. Signed 8-day movements is running, pendulum, pendulum stick, brass weight, and beat scale, are all correct. There is an excellent label on the base. For whatever reason a thin layer of wood on the back of the clock was scraped off. No damage to the case or the look when hanging. America’s most collected clock. There must be one in every home. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 277. $650-$1000.
