Seth Thomas “Regulator No. 6”, ca. 1880.  A walnut case with an old finish and nickel trim including the damascened pendulum bob, weight, and pulley.  The dial holds the original paint with some flaking and wear but is remarkably good for a Thomas dial.  The hands are correct; the beat scale is correct but the finish is worn, and there is a dent in the bob.  All the finials are correct although the bottom center finial looks like a replacement.  The door glass is old and wavy but one retaining strip is newer.  The veneer on the shaped base has some problems and has been partially replaced on both sides.  You’ll need to get down on your knees to see the flaws or look at the provided pictures.  The time-only 8-day movement is unsigned and is running and keeping time.  There is no label.  We sold a very similar example in 2016 for $2500.  $1500-$2000.
