Catalog Description:
C.1890, Seth Thomas, Regulator No. 2, in very good original condition, except for the repainted dial. The case has been wiped down with vinegar and linseed oil, and most of the old finish is still present; it is a mellow caramel color. Inside of case is clean as a whistle, and the inside label is still good (minor losses). The dial was refinished long ago, before brand stencils were available and the company name is lettered in along the bottom margin by hand; still, the large numerals were painted by a good artist who captured the essence very well (certainly not worth re-doing). The movement has been re-cabled and is in good running order. Height 36"
