Catalog Description: Seth Thomas, “Regulator No. 6″, C. 1884. The walnut case is 48″ tall and 16.75″ wide. The locking door has the original old glass. The inside backboard has some small skinned places where Bubba hauled the clock with the weight and pendulum still inside the case. One top finial has about 1/8” missing from the tip, and one bottom finial has been nicely retipped. The base has had some veneer repairs, and the overall finish shows it has not lived in a controlled environment. Heat and cold, smoke and tars, working together, and not having furniture polish and oils applied occasionally have hurt the finish maybe 10%. Not a big thing and can probably be brought back with some elbow grease. The old style, rectangular plate, 8 day, time only movement is clean and a strong runner. The old dial was professionally repainted, the hands are old but probably not original to this clock. The pendulum stick and hardware are contemporary, the weight is an old replacement, and the silvered beat scale is original and in good condition. Ly-Seth Thomas #368, #391. $3000-$4000.

Catalog Description: Seth Thomas Clock Co., “Regulator No. 6″, C. 1884. This is a really fine clock that retains the original finish with some crazing, burl walnut appropriately used on the top and base. It stands 49” high, has no repairs or new wood, and other than some minor nicks made by Bubba when he moved the clock, it is as nice and original as we ever see. It should please some Seth Thomas collector. The movement is 8 day, weight driven, time only, and runs beautifully. It is the same movement that is used in the Reg. No. 2, with strong well finished plates that is secured to an iron bracket. It has Graham dead beat escapement, 80 beats to the minute, has maintaining power. All brass accessories include the pendulum ball, weight, pulley, locks, and bezel. The beat scale is nickel. Typical of ST regulators the dial has been repainted with a seconds dial and the ST logo. On the inside base is a good black label. We previously owned this clock and a couple of other No. 6’s back when they were bringing around $3000, now we find them selling for $4000 and up. Ly-Seth Thomas #391.

Catalog Description: Seth Thomas “Regulator No. 6”. This clock is number 217, of 4000, reissued by Seth Thomas in the 1970’s. A label inside carries the serial number. The quality of the clocks is typical Seth Thomas and it is identical to the originals made 100 years earlier. They used select walnut, a quality grade of brass, and the same movement, 8 day time only- and signed. We had the movement checked; it is running and should provide many years of maintenance free service. The case is 49 inches long, excellent condition throughout. Typical brass weight does not show in the picture, but like everything else, it is perfect. Ly-Seth Thomas No. 391.

Catalog Description: Seth Thomas “Regulator No. 6″, C. 1970’s. This is #480 of 4000 reproductions made by Seth Thomas in the 1970’s. It is the same scale 48-49” high, same finials, dial, pendulum ball, beat scale, door locks, movement, etc. Double side locks, label on the base signifying it was made by Seth Thomas and showing it is #480 of 4000. The No. 2 style movement is marked, “S T 61 A414-000 7801”. I am sure this clock has not been on the wall since it was made, more than likely in a box under the bed. It looks like it was made yesterday. I have had it in my den a few months (left the originals in the basement) and I would recommend it be oiled before extended use. I doubt it has been oiled since it was made. Ly-Seth Thomas #391 pictures the C. 1884 model.
