| Catalog Description:
C.1870, Seth Thomas, "Regulator No. 1, Extra, Striking", as-found, in need of work. See also lot 363 in this catalog; the striking model is truly uncommon and it is a surprise to have 2 of this model on offer. This one does need some attention: the case has been stripped and could use some more finish (the rosewood veneer is good with some small chips), the bottom of the clock is missing. The dial has been repainted with numerals a bit too bold. There are NO weights, no baffle, no beat scale and tablet is incorrect. Hands are original. For details on this model, and photos of the unique Terry style movement, see Tran Duy Ly's book titled Seth Thomas Clocks, (1996), page 108. Height 38 inches
