| Catalog Description:
C.1892 (dated), Seth Thomas "Regulator No. 19", in oak and in excellent condition. This is a great clock, nicely refinished and with original presentation plaque dated 1892. The only minor items that keep this from being outstanding are 2 missing finial tips and small chip on one glass jar and spider crack on the other. These items are easily overlook when you view the clock in full and a regular auction might not even mention these points. The center panel in the case is a wonderful piece of burl with a great look. The MOST amazing part of this clock is the original painted dial which has survived with only minor paint loss. It also retains lock in door and with key (donit lose this). The clock retains original weight, pendulum, pulley, hands and case hardware. For details on this model, see Tran Duy Ly's book titled Seth Thomas Clocks (1996), pages 128-135. Height 75 inches
