  • Antique Seth Thomas “Regulator No. 3” Model Clock

    Antique Seth Thomas

    Catalog Description: Seth Thomas, “Regulator No. 3″, C. 1886. This is a large wall clock, 42″ high, probably an expansion of the 34” No. 2 Regulator, with some minor changes, such as the 12 piece bezel, and finials. The old oak veneer is tight and in good condition with a few well executed repairs. The overall finish is good, gold gilt around the door has been repainted. The finials which are so often lost on the No. 3, look identical to the originals I have had on other No. 3’s. On the inside of the lower door is the stamped number “141”; the letters preceding the number have been partially chiseled away. I can see the remains of “B & O”, but it might be wishful thinking. If someone walked away with a railroad clock I can imagine they would want to erase the B&O. The movement is a signed No. 62, weight driven, time only with maintaining power and a Graham dead-beat escapement. It is interesting to note that the No. 62 movement was used on the early models with finials, and the later models without finials. The pendulum bob, stick, and pulley look to be original. The backboard has the original brass beat scale and the original label is in the bottom of the case, about 80% legible. The 14 inch dial is probably a very old repaint on the original pan. There are some service dates penciled on the dial stiffener board starting with, 8-16-09 thru 12-6-26. The clock is a strong runner and far above average for the No. 3’s I have had or seen.

  • Antique Seth Thomas “Regulator No. 3” Model Clock

    Antique Seth Thomas

    Catalog Description: Seth Thomas “Regulator No. 3” ca 1886. The backboard, movement, dial, and hands, are the good. The 8 day, one weight movement is a strong runner. The weight, although correct, is not a cream puff. The bob may be correct, not sure. The stick is not original. Label and beat scale are in the lower part of the case. The ugly is the charred left side that was exposed to excessive heat. A good shop man will probably make a new side board and take the octagon bezel apart and replace a couple of sections on the left side. Most of us would sand the devil out of the charred pieces, get it down to good wood, and leave it together. We do feel the good parts did not start life with the bad and ugly. Doesn’t that make you wonder what happened to the rest of the case “good” came with. Surely it was better than this case. As you can see there are no finials. The dial is an old repaint. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 113.
