Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Regulator No. 17”, ca 1884. The oak case is 68 inches tall, stained very dark to more resemble mahogany and nothing has been cleaned. The door has three key locks on the side, all operational. The dial I believe to have original paint, hands are correct, brass dial ring, brass beat scale, wood pendulum stick painted black, and a large pendulum bob. The 8-day timepiece movement is their No. 62 movement, properly signed, has cut pinions, maintaining power, and beats seconds. The case is 68” high, beautifully polished and well-maintained oak that is all original including the seven small finials and the bottom decorations, wood door knob, the wood dial board, and the two glasses. There has been repairs made to the top and base but it looks to be identical to the originals. The brass weight, brass beat scale, and brass pulley all seem to be original to the clock. The case and movement are pictured in Ly-Seth Thomas, pages 298-299. In nice original condition we have seen this model sell for over $10,000. The only two we have ever sold went for over $5000. $2000-$2500.
