Catalog Description: C.1905, Seth Thomas, Thomaston, Conn, “Regulator No. 8 ” Short, in excellent condition, with the oak case attractively refinished to a golden caramel color. The dial, hands, weight, damascene pendulum, pulley and all associated hardware are original. This clock uses the No. 62 movement with dead beat escapement and cut pinions, along with the large pendulum bob (stick only may be an old replacement; hardware is proper). Personally, this case (3″ shorter than the long version) looks perfect with the large bob swinging about 3″ off the bottom. The dial has a couple of minor flakes and some wear to the numerals from setting the hands. Model numbers 7 and 8 have become very popular in the last few years. (See lot 398); ht 52″

Catalog Description: C.1894, (dated), Seth Thomas, “Regulator No. 8” 1-weight timepiece in oak, with no. 62 movement with cut pinions and retaining power. Condition: the only shortcoming on this clock is the bottom, which lost its small tapered bracket and someone long ago affixed 3 oak moldings, and 2 alternate finials that look OK. This clock was “Presented to Cushing Academy by the Class of ’96, January 1st, 1894″ and the brass bob is so engraved. Retains original signed movement, weight, pendulum, beat scale, hanger, pulley and hardware. Note weight retains original knurled top and bottom. There is an old repair to the bottom of the pendulum stick that is hidden within the pendulum; light colored stick is original. If not for the bottom, this would bring $12,000. For additional details, see Tran Ly’s 3rd edition book on Seth Thomas, page 286. Ht as shown, 53”

Catalog Description: Seth Thomas “Regulator No.70”, ca 1924. Made of quartered oak it is 55 1/2 inches high, 22 inches wide. Near perfect inside, it has an 8 day, time only, one weight movement, No. 68 with a beat adjuster, 60 beats per minute. The movement has jeweled pallets, polished cut steel pinions, polished keystone shaped plates, and is mounted on a large cast iron bracket. The movement is signed with the Seth Thomas logo, and the numbers “383” and “68” are inscribed. Pendulum, weight, beat scale, all very good. There is an original 13 inch white enameled dial that has not been touched.The outside of the case has some indications that it could have been manufactured for use as some kind of time keeping clock although there is no evidence that ever came about. On the outside of the case there are 4 small round holes on the left, at the bottom. There is no indication inside the case that anything was ever there. In fact two of the holes don’t go thru the wood which would leave you to think it was made so that something could be attached on the outside. It is a super clock none the less and you have to stand on your head to even see the little holes. Based on recent sales this clock should fetch $3500 to $4000. Ly-Seth Thomas No.470.

Catalog Description: C.1905, Seth Thomas, Thomaston, Conn, “Regulator No. 7″ Long, in walnut, in excellent original condition. The only thing that keeps this from being outstanding is some flaking on the dial. The finish has nice patina, a little dull, would rub to a sheen unless you prefer it as is. This clock has the large No.62 movement with cut pinions and maintaining power. Note also this is the desirable long case version. The weight has split the bottom board, but it has been properly repaired. We sold the cousin to this clock on year ago, lot 304 for $9750+12%. Although this should fare as well, our estimate is conservative. Any Seth Thomas collector would be pleased with this clock. Height 48”

Catalog Description: C.1905, Seth Thomas, “Regulator No. 7″ wall clock (short version) in excellent original condition. This is an interesting clock, in that it has an 80 beat movement on which the pendulum rides around 4″ off the bottom of the case, which to me makes it a more pleasant appearing clock than the regular 72 beat movement, on which the view of the pendulum is restricted behind the door. The movement is original to the case and there are no spare holes for any of the hardware; movement appears similar to that used in a No. 2. The beat scale has always been mounted in the high spot it occupies. The case retains original finish, nicely polished; the dial has been professionally re-blacked over the original white surface (has nice crazing), and with original hands, pendulum, hardware, etc. Height 45”
