    Seth Thomas Clock Co. wall clock, “Regulator No.2”, ca 1913.

    Undoubtedly America’s most poplar clock. They must have made millions of them and it is still one of the best sellers that we have.The case is made of old oak veneer, 36 inches high. The color and veneer are good except some minor loss on the base. There is a small section to reveneer if you can do it yourself, otherwise I wouldn’t worry about it as it is hardly noticeable. There is an old label inside the case.An 8 day, time only, weight movement. It has Graham dead beat escapement, maintaining power, and is running very strong. It has strong, well finished plates that are secured to an iron back plate. Dial has been nicely repainted. The brass accessories appear to be original to this clock. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 110-111.

    Seth Thomas "Regulator No. 2", ca 1875.

    Seth Thomas “Regulator No. 2”, ca 1875.

    This is the early or old style No. 2. This 34 inch walnut veneered clock has been restored, dial was repainted some time ago as there is now some slight flaking of the black paint. This glass is pictured in the catalogs on the Regulator No.1 models, which means it may not be original to this clock, but there is a slight chance it could be. It has one of the finest sliding partitions with a full label and paper beat scale that we have seen. As you know the label is glued to the sliding partition and will usually be pretty ragged or missing after 125 years of wear and tear. 8 day, time only, weight movement. The weight comes down behind the sliding partition. We see quite a few of the early No.2 models, but don’t see very many this nice. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 110.

    Veneer wise the case is in very good condition. There is minor veneer damage on the hinge side of the bezel and some veneer loss on the bottom bracket (not easily seen).

The lower key lock door retains original gold leafed border in excellent order The original dial has some paint flaking, and bears the name of jeweler from West Virginia (R. H. Nefflen) . The seconds hand is included, but we could not put it on, as the suspension spring has been lengthened just enough that the cross bar interferes with the second hand (this is repairable).

    This is the limited reissue from Seth Thomas in the 1980’s I think. There is a good label in the bottom which says it is No. 1873 of 4000. This is a very well made clock, true to the original design. The clock appears to have never been used so it is as perfect as the day it was made. Solid oak case, good label, excellent dial, brass weight, pendulum bob and pulley, just like the original model. It is an 8 day timepiece in good running order. 36″ tall.

    Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Regulator No. 2”, ca 1889.

    An interesting clock for historical reasons, not for the clock itself. I first thought it was a reproduction case because the light oak case was so rubbed out and cleaned. On the back of the case is the factory mark indicating it was made in 1889. The brass movement, pendulum, weight, dial and hands, are all ST original stock and in excellent condition, with a smidgen of paint loss on the dial. Inside in the usual place is a black ST label. It has been overpasted with a label that says in part, “B. M. Boyce (Benjamin/Son in Law of Daniel Pratt, Jr.) Daniel Pratt’s Sons”. After the death of Daniel Pratt, Jr., Benjamin Boyce and Daniel Ford Pratt continued the Pratt business. Pratt (the son) withdrew in 1880 and Boyce continued the Pratt business alone in Boston, Mass. I can find no research indicating he ever sold Seth Thomas clocks, or anyone else’s clocks, but here it is. NAWCC Bulletin, June 1996, page 320. See also clock No. 15 below. Both came from the same collector.

    Mahogany case is 36″ high and is clean and polished. It is relatively free of any smoke or black stains. It even looks clean inside and on the back. There is a very nice painted dial, signed by Seth Thomas, and has three correct hands. There is a wood brace behind the dial as many Seth Thomas regulators have, and there are two screws thru the dial just outside the seconds ring. I do not think I have seen that brace used on the No. 2 regulators before, but are most always found on the larger regulators. The dial has some fading but very little paint loss. Signed 8 day brass movement is running. The brass bob has been polished, brass weight was not. It has the correct brass beat scale and pulley. Good original glasses, door lock, and most of the old paper label inside. Better than the average No. 2 but you will find some edge nicks, especially on the bezel. Ly-Seth Thomas, pages 276-277.

    This old clock hung in a RR station for most of 100 years, accumulating a whole lot of smoke. You can tell from the back side it was pretty black before it got a cleaning. I guess the old dial got beat to death for they have put a new painted dial on the case. There is most of an old dirty label inside, correct hands, brass beat scale, brass bob, wood stick, brass weight, brass winding crank and door key, brass door lock, and brass ring around the glass in the door, all look to be original to this case. The oak case is 36″ high, complete, and all original except for the dial pan. There is a provenance label on the back indicating the clock was serviced in 1934 and a couple of times after that. Charges were $2.50. Ly-Seth Thomas, pages 276278.

    SETH THOMAS No. 2 wall regulator. Round top solid Oak case with painted original dial; brass weight.

    Round top solid Oak case with painted original dial; brass weight. By far the best selling clock in our long history in the business has been the venerable . They came in several different case woods and this one is solid OAK. The eight-day brass movement is original to the case and bears the ST logo and USA on the brass front plate (see photograph). The original label on the inside floor of the case is in an amazingly good state of preservation (see photograph). Unlike so many Seth Thomas No. 2’s the dial on this clock retains its original paint with some fill-ins and touch-ups…without being distracting at all. As with all our clocks, we have priced this quality clock at levels below most others on the internet. Insured shipping is available throughout the Continental United States. Height: 36 in. (91.44 cm) Depth: 6 in. (15.24 cm) Width: 16 in. (40.64 cm) Weight: 15

    Round top, solid Oak weight-powered wall clock.

    The demand for Seth Thomas No. 2 wall regulators has been dramatically growing year after year. These fine clocks were used in railroad stations, banks; hotel lobbies and business offices for decades due to their very excellent timekeeping and handsome, solid appearance. They were made in a variety of woods…some veneered and some in solid Oak like this one. The top wooden bezel was made in eight sections which over the years often shrank a bit allowing a slight separation between each section. This one is no exception. The sections are solid however with only minor lines between each segment (see photograph). The brass movement has been polished, cleaned, serviced and oiled for proper operation. Prices for these fine clocks have been increasing rapidy…so this one…at only $1950 represents a bargain in anyone’s language!! Shipping is available throughout the Continental United States.

    The demand for the venerable SETH THOMAS No. 2 REGULATOR has become almost impossible to meet. Buyers have been contacting us for these excellent regulators so often that we are having a difficult time meeting the growing demand.

    This is a Seth Thomas reissue, one of 4000 pieces they made in a limited edition and is almost identical to the originals. This is perhaps the most poplar clock ever made. The 36inch case was made of hardwood oak, hand finished. It is a beautiful dark oak shade. Dial is 12 inches, label says this is number 3603 of 4000. This clock looks like it has been in a bank vault these past 25 years. Originals this nice are currently selling for $1500 to $2500. Ly-Seth Thomas, page112.

    A well made clock with the identical look and dimensions of the early Seth Thomas clocks This clock is well constructed of solid oak and stands 36 inches high As the pictures show the movement, weight, pendulum bob, pulley, iron back plate, and dial, are identical to its cousins This is not a foreign made clock or one of the4000 reproduced by Seth Thomas The movement is not signed ST, but is marked only “402” This clock is every bit as nice as the Seth Thomas reissued clocks we regularly sell for $800 and up, and it is running See Ly-Seth Thomas, page 111-112 for similar clocks

    This 36.5 inches case was made with old oak, retains the original finish and has all 5 little buttons on the base. We have not had, or seen, a better No. 2 case. There is an excellent brass beat scale, has a good amount of the paper label in the bottom, super old dial with original paint, (any paint flakes are not worth mentioning, normally a Seth Thomas dial this old has been repainted at least once), and a near perfect brass weight and pendulum bob. The 8 day, time only movement is correct for this model, and is running properly. Ly-Seth Thomas, 2004 Edition, pages 276- 277, lists current value $2000-$2200.

    Mahogany veneer case is 36.5 inches high, which in itself dates the clock after 1913. There is no veneer on the bezel, it was stained to match the rest of the case. It is a little rough where the veneer was scraped off. The 8-day movement is not signed, has not been out of the case that I can tell. I would service and change the weight cord as soon as possible. It has been in storage for several years. The original zinc dial is very good for its age, slightly dirty and has a little flake or two. The original screws, in the original holes, lead me to believe the clock has not been played with. All the brass; weight, bob, beat scale, pulley, and dial ring are all in good condition. For some reason the crutch has been extended, perhaps to fit a new stick. The clock is running despite these deficiencies. Most of the black label remains in the base. The ride from Oregon in a U-Haul trailer left some skinned places, but they should clean up fine. Ly-Seth Thomas, 2004 Edition, pages 276-277.

    Mahogany veneer case is 36.5 inches high, overall in much better condition than No. 260A, the main difference is that the veneer is tight, no scrapes or patches. There are the usual nicks where Bubba bumped into door jams when carrying the clock. Everything looks to be original on this case, glasses, good zinc dial, weight, very nice damascened pendulum, beat scale, and the black label inside. The time only, 8-day movement has been in the case over 85 years, clean and running, and signed. There is a label and the dial is signed. This case showed signs of clocks sliding over each other on the ride from Oregon. I put some NuLife on the wood and it looks 100% better. There was no veneer damage. Very nice accessories, weight, pendulum, beat scale, pulley, and bezel ring. Ly-Seth Thomas, 2004 Edition, pages 276-277.

    Despite being totally disassembled the main missing items are the two case side boards and the backboard. The dial-bezel assembly is complete, (no glass) missing only one small, easily made wedge shaped piece of wood. The dial has some flaking. The cellophane was to hold the bezel together. The lower door is complete with old glass, hinges, and lock. All the hard to make bottom trim is there. Includes a bag of original No. 2 hardware (screws, door lock, hanger and bracket, and bezel latch), even includes an original dial stiffener board.

    Ly-Seth Thomas No. 367 gives the date as 1938, but actually this style base, Arabic dial, plain glass, came into production in 1929. The quartered oak, 36 inch case, has been refinished, stained and polished to appear more mahogany or cherry, thanoak. Old dial has had new holes drilled so that the screws would fit tight, and the opening around the seconds bit has been filled in to appear smaller, and touched up with a not so white paint. Brass is polished bright. Eventhough I have pointed out some deficiencies this is a beautiful clock, thewood grain is just outstanding. Anyone should be happy to hang this in theirhome. 8 day, time only movement No. 77A (80 beats per minute) is used in thismodel. There is a full label on the back of the case.

    Repair dates marked on the case and dial back to 1919. Everything about the clock is original and is generally in very good condition. Old “NCR-3460” New York Central Railroaddial, has the normal wear for Seth Thomas dials of this age, most of theold label remains in the base, good glasses, brass movement, bezel, pendulum, are all in untouched condition. The mahogany case has been refinished, now a much lighter shade. They put a coat of shellac or similar finish onthe wood which gives it a shine. I checked the movement and it is correctand like the movement in Ly-Seth Thomas No. 368, and the clock is identicalto No. 362. Old mahogany veneer case is 34 inches long, perhaps a chip or two, nothing worth writing about, movement secured to an iron bracket, 8 day timeonly, 80 beats to the minute, and running very good.

    Seth Thomas “Regulator No. 2”, early model, ca 1878.

    This tablet was only used by Seth Thomas from 1878 to 1880, and seconds bit started in 1879, so that only leaves 1878 as the date this clock was made. For lack of other information I often use the date by the clock in the catalogs, but more times than not the catalog date is not the date when a clock was made, it is only the date it was pictured in the companyÕs trade booklet. These early Seth regulators were 34 inches high, walnut veneer cases, 8 day time only movement, large flat weight descending behind a sliding partition, full label on the partition. The clock runs real well, appears to be all original, a few chips of veneer missing on the rounded bezel, some gold paint loss but majority still intact. Has been rebacked to hold the remaining gold. Original paint on the old zinc dial is very good. Overall a near perfect example of a very early regulator. Ly-Seth Thomas No. 364.

    Rosewood veneered case is 34 inches long, has only a moderate number of bruises, no chips to speak of. Both doors have hook latches. Someone tried to install a knob on the lower door and left a hole to be filled. Old glass lost some of backing, new black paint has been put on where feasible, overall a good looking early glass. It is shown in Ly-Seth Thomas on an early No. 1 Regulator, clock No. 359. The old dial has been repainted very professionally. One really nice feature is the full label on the original sliding partition. That is a real plus. The flat iron weight is also original for this model. Now what it all boils down to is, this is a great early regulator with only one fault, the small hole in the lower door, and it should be an easy fix. In case you wondered why I said Ca 1878-1880, this base was only in use until 1880, this glass was only used between 1878 and 1880, there were no seconds bit on this model until 1879.

    Seth Thomas, “Regulator No. 2”, C. 1913-1921. This is an unusual quartered oak veneer case.

    Some of the wood grain designs they disclosed by sawing the wood different ways, is astonishing. The case height of 36.5″ helped me determine the age of this clock. Probably America’s most poplar wall weight clock, the majority were made of oak and oak veneer. What has made it such a good seller other than the name Seth Thomas is the simple case style, good case work, the heavy brass accessories, and it is an excellent timekeeper. 8 day time, weight clock, has a movement with strong, well finished plates, held to the case by an iron bracket, with Graham dead beat escapement, wood rod, brass covered zinc ball, and has maintaining power. The new 12″ dial pan is a repaint, and there is a good old label in the case. The case and brass have not been cleaned or refinished. Ly-Seth Thomas, pages 110-111.

    Cherry case 36.5″ high. According to available records ST did not made cherry cases after 1913, and the cases were 36.5″ after 1913, 34″ before 1913. Some may call it refinished, I call it cleaned. It was a clock my wife used in the kitchen for a long time, until we played musical clocks recently. I kept it adjusted to within a minute a month. The 8 day movement is clean, running, signed. I can’t see any tracks of a recent dial painter, but the dial is too nice not to have been repainted. It hasn’t been off the case many times because the original tiny screws are still in the same tiny holes, very unusual. All the brass is original, weight, bob, beat scale, and hardware. After all the glowing remarks I must say the back of the case looks like it was drug down the street behind a tow truck. I guess that doesn’t hurt it but thankfully we don’t have to look at the back.

    Some latitude there because ST didn’t make 36.5″ cases until 1913, prior they were 34″, and the dials had Roman numerals until 1921, and this base style was only used until 1922. As stated this nice polished old oak case is 36.5″ high, has a very good old zinc painted dial, weight, pendulum, beat scale, and label in the base is about 90% there. Movement is 8 day, powered by 1 large shining brass weight. Heavy brass plates secured to an iron bracket, Graham dead beat escapement, wood rod, brass pendulum ball, has maintaining power. Attractive dark oak case retains the original finish with crazing. It has led a sheltered life. Ly-Seth Thomas #362.

    Mahogany case is, or should be, 36.5″ high. Note the very bottom trim piece is missing and a new design was proudly added by an aspiring craftsman. Thank goodness it isn’t securely attached. When I first saw this clock I thought it was pretty sorry, but after closer inspection I see a $1500-$2000 clock with proper attention. The original dial is great. Usually they have been repainted, or should be, by this time. The signed 8 day, weight movement, looks like it has never been out of the case, dirty, needs to be restrung. The mahogany is almost perfect, just very dead looking. Some good polish would completely change it. The weight and pendulum are also very nice. There is no black label in the base but I will give you one if you insist on having one. Ly-Seth Thomas #362.

Has a fair label still showing in the bottom of the case. Pulley is for a banjo, proper No. 2 models are available from Timesavers.

    in oak, in very good condition, with restored dial. This clock hung in a Manhattan building and was boarded up out of sight in a small room between the wars. A few years ago, when the building was being remodeled, the wall was knocked down and there was this clock. Somehow word got to Mr. Rappaport and he immediately negotiated the purchase and carried the clock out to his home. The dial had flaked and has been professionally refinished. The case was cleaned with beauty rub and still retains original finish, with minor blemishes. It is an attractive light oak color. Hinges, latches, pendulum, weight and hands are original. We have the mercury in a lexan container, and are advised that it is not possible to ship the mercury, so you will need to make arrangements to pick the jar up in person (or have one of our private carriers bring it for you). This model is discussed in Ly’s 1996 Seth Thomas book, pages 128-135. Height 75″

Stated briefly, the clock is in outstanding original condition and sure to please the most discriminating collector. Nickel finish on dial bezel, weight and pulley are intact. Original dial with only minor losses near 12 and 6 from setting the hands. Additional details on the #19 may be found in Tran Duy Ly’s book on Seth Thomas, 3rd Edition, pages 301–303.

    Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Regulator No.18”. A contemporary clock made as a copy of the ca1909 poplar model No.18.

    The 8 day time only, weight driven movement is old and correct for this clock. It is signed properly and identical to the movement pictured with the Regulator No.18 in the Seth Thomas catalogs. The movement is secured to an iron back plate, has Graham dead beat escapement and maintaining power.This is a well made 54 inch walnut case with a very eye pleasing finish. Pendulum bob is not correct and the stick was made to represent an original. 14 inch dial is painted on a new pan. The brass dial ring band inside the bezel is correct as are the hands, brass weight, brass beat scale, pulley, door lock, and knob.If you would replace the incorrect bob this would be a fine clock that most collectors would love to have.

    8 day weight driven timepiece, and seconds pendulum bob. This is a nice example of the No. 18 in a 54″ mahogany veneer case.

Some small chips around the screw heads. No extra holes anywhere. The movement has polished plates and is secured to an iron bracket, Graham dead beat escapement, maintaining power. This is a good straight original No. 18 wall clock. Selling at eastern auctions and clock shows $4500 and more, and not nearly as nice as this one. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 127.

    The 8 day timepiece movement is their No. 62 movement, properly signed, has cut pinions, maintaining power, and beats seconds. The case is 68″ high, beautifully polished and well maintained oak that is all original including the seven small finials and the bottom decorations, wood door knob, the wood dial board, and the two glasses. The dial was repainted with the 24 hour railroad motif, and is signed “Seth Thomas / Seventeen”. We were told by the previous owner that the dial was an original railroad dial and in bad shape so he had it repainted like the original. The 14″ dial looks spectacular and has three original hands. The brass bob, wood stick, brass weight, brass beat scale, and brass pulley all seem to be original to the clock. The case and movement are pictured in Ly-Seth Thomas, pages 298-299. In nice original condition we have seen this model sell for over $10,000.

    Seth Thomas Regulator No. 17, ca 1884.

    Red oak case is 68 inches high, clean and covered with a clear sealer. May be too bright for some, but the sheen can be easily taken off or reduced. The case from all appearances is original with the possible exception of the doorknob, although the new, 2004 Ly-Seth Thomas book shows the clock with and without a knob. The base has some carving, the sides, top, and bottom, are fluted. As you might expect this large clock is very heavy and the finest materials available were used in its construction. There are three key locks on the side, all operational. The large brass beat scale, brass pendulum bob, brass weight, brass dial ring and door locks, are all nice, and polished. The original 14 inches painted metal dial, with seconds dial, is extremely nice for a Seth Thomas dial, particularly one this old. The door glass is original. The 8 day movements used in this model are No. 62 which beats seconds, or 60 beats per minute. It would be nice if we could find several of the big Seth Thomas Regulators, but they seem to have disappeared into collections. We had to buy a large collection to get this one. Ly-Seth Thomas, 2004 Edition, pages 298-299, values this model at $8000-$10,000. Our estimate for this clock is

    8 day time, 1 weight, running like all large regulators, never missing a beat. The large clocks are so well constructed of heavy brass and wood materials, they endure over time with little maintenance. Usually a little oil from time to time is all that is needed. Very nice 68 inch oak case, came from an attorney’s office where it had been hanging for years. The only possible addition to the clock may be the door knob. The catalogs show a door knob on this model. There are two door locks on the side that are operational, however the little brass catch in the door is missing. These can be obtained from Timesavers. Very nice brass pendulum bob, weight, beat scale, dial ring, and the door locks. A really nice 14 inch original painted dial, with a seconds dial. The movement beats seconds, or 60 beats per minute. We see very few of these large old regulators. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 126, gives all the particulars of this model, with an estimated value of $4500 in the 2000 price guide. Large Seth Thomas clocks, in good condition have been bringing 25% to 50% more than that estimate in the last 2 years.

    J.H. Gerry, New York, N.Y., in case provided by Seth Thomas Clock Co. as a variant of “Regulator No. 16” with 8 days, time only, weight driven movement in walnut case with J. H. Gerry patent gravity escapement, c1885

    this is generally good quality work, escapement changed and gravity arms added in the late 1800s to the square movement. This clock contains square form plates rather than the typical trapezoidal plates found in the standard Seth Thomas No. 16. The special glass dial signed “Gerry” shows small chips around the screw mounting holes, and some loss of paint. Note the clock runs reliably and with distinctive action of the gravity arms onto the brass keystone (pendulum hangs from the front of the movement) Also the keystone itself was replaced by the current owner, and not to the same standard as the balance of the work. A few screws have been replaced with heads that do not match. Still it is mechanically sound and will respond to additional refinement. Walnut case retains an old finish, with some losses (chip to top shell), but generally very good+ condition. Nickel reflector, weight, pulley and pendulum bob. Note also that this is one of the early “thin” cases, front to back. J.H. Gerry was an important figure in the development of the Self Winding Clock Co. Ht 76″

    the case on this clock is among the nicest we have ever seen, never refinished and beautifully aged with a fine crackle that has naturally oxidized.

Overall the black walnut has an attractive grain and the case is as nice in person as the photos reflect. The movement will require some additional attention. Note there are a few holes in the front plate where a side-cock was removed to make way for this rare modified escapement. The pendulum stick has been replaced and has a replaced hanger at the top.

    Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Regulator No. 14”, ca 1879.

    Well, it sure looks identical to the picture of the No.14. A very good cabinetmaker decided he wanted a floor clock like the Seth No.14, and he made it. This clock is 97 inches high, made of walnut and burl walnut veneer. The clock is nice enough for my house and I have seen the day I would have given anything for a clock this nice, but to be honest, if I were going to keep it I would have a good cabinetmaker spend some time sanding and rubbing to get a little slicker finish. On close examination you can see that it is not slick like the Seth Thomas factory would have made. There is a door lock, 4 side glasses, and the large door glass. The top is removable for easier moving. The movement is fastened to an iron bracket. There are no markings on the movement, dial, or pendulum. They are not old nor are they new. The previous owner says he owned it 30 years and I would guess the movement and case to be 30 to 50 years old. It is 8 day with sweep second hand, Graham dead beat escapement, maintaining power, 1 large brass weight, and a very heavy gridiron pendulum. The great looking dial has etched designs allover, silver dial ring, and raised brass numerals. My guess is they all came together when the clock was made. Today I don’t think you could buy a new movement, dial, and pendulum this nice. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 200. An original No.14 would cost you over 20,000 dollars today. My estimate .

    These early regulators used the SB Terry round, 8 day, time only movements I would think this case would have had a Plymouth Hollow label originally Some restoration has been done from time to time The sliding partitions were removed from many of these early clocks because the pendulum and weight are very difficult to hang if the partition is in place This partition and label are modern replacements The top glass has been replaced but the important one with the gold paint, is near perfect Like most all Seth Thomas dials, this one has been professionally repainted No doubt some veneering has been done but the false graining is excellent and makes it almost impossible to see any veneer repairs The flat weight that descends behind the partition is a good replica of the early ones 41 inch rosewood veneer case has a special key lock on the bottom door

    Rosewood veneer case is 41.5″ high, where the early catalogs touted them as 44″. The veneer is almost perfect, especially when compared to a dozen or so others I have sold, and the large number I have seen other places. There is a small nick on the right side of the bezel and some loose veneer on the base. You wouldn’t know it unless you carry the clock, then you feel it. This case inside and out is almost clean enough to say it has never been on the wall. No coal or tobacco smoke inside or out. The large 14.5″ zinc dial was repainted at least 50 years ago. The black paper label and white paper beat scale that are glued to the sliding partition, are the best I have ever seen. The tablet is original but the black paint has some re-backing. The gold always seems to hold to the glass. The round eight day movement is attributed to S. B. Terry. Seth Thomas continued to make them after they bought Terry’s old stock. The original flat iron weight descends down the middle of the case behind the sliding partition. Wood pendulum rod has the original gold, while the old bob got in the hands of an overenthusiastic polisher. Most of the brass has been buffed off leaving the copper undercoat. It isn’t the end of the world, but honestly is about the only negative thing I can say about this clock. Ly-Seth Thomas, pages 108-109.

    The round movement was either purchased from the creditors of Silas B. Terry in 1859, or made from the patterns purchased at the same time. The round 8 day, time only movements were used a short time before they went to the rectangle movements. The old zinc dial pan is original and has been professionally repainted. The gold around the glass and the gold painted wood stick, brass bob, and glasses, are also original. The sliding partition where a label should be has been added. It looks fine, hides the descending weight, but nonetheless there is no label. Rosewood veneer case like 99% of the octagon bezel clocks has had some minor repairs and I notice one small chigger bite that should be stained or a tiny piece of veneer put on. The base is a remake, well done, veneered to match. The catalogs say this model clock should be 44 inch. I have probably had 20 over the years, none were over 41.5 inch, same as this one. Large flat iron weight descends behind the partition Clock is running. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 108-109.

    this as found clock is not for the faint at heart, but can come to life. It has no pendulum or weight. [weight cord goes up over a roller in the case top and down the right side, with a square bottom iron weight about 6 inches long] The rosewood veneered case has substantial veneer losses to the lower door and upper bezel. The original dial is very dirty, and with flakes, but the Dial House could clean and restore without repainting. Left quarter gilt molding is lacking from lower door. Bottom left OG return is missing as are both corbel shaped side pieces. The black & gilt tablet is missing. The original keystone failed and there is an envelope with some parts that could be modified to fit. For a similar clock in good condition, see Tran Duy Ly’s “Seth Thomas Clock & Movements” Vol. 1, p. 273 (although the c1880 date shown there is too late as the Regulator No. 3 replaced this model in 1879).

    About the Seth Thomas “Regulator No. 1” Clock

    Title: Seth Thomas “Regulator No. 1” Clock Model: A Collector’s Guide

    The Seth Thomas Regulator No. 1 clock model, introduced in the mid-19th century during the Industrial Revolution era (approximately 1852), is a quintessential representation of American craftsmanship and horological innovation. This timepiece belongs to the regulator category, designed primarily for scientific purposes due to its ability to maintain consistent and accurate timekeeping.

    The typical case materials used for the Regulator No. 1 include mahogany or walnut woods, adorned with brass ornaments and intricate inlays. The rectangular case design is a testament to the aesthetics of the Victorian era, while the robust construction ensures durability and longevity. The pendulum bob, often featuring an elegant glass sphere, hangs below the dial, suspended by a delicate brass chain.

    What makes the Seth Thomas Regulator No. 1 clock collectible is its historical significance, exceptional craftsmanship, and accuracy. As one of the first mass-produced regulators in America, this model represents an essential milestone in American horology. Its distinctive design, coupled with the company’s reputation for precision engineering, makes it a sought-after item among antique clock collectors worldwide.

    Notable features include the large dial (usually 12 inches or more in diameter), which provides ample space for easy time reading, and the adjustable brass-tuned pendulum, allowing for fine-tuning to keep accurate time. The Regulator No. 1’s minimalistic design, characterized by its lack of hour and minute hands, is another distinguishing feature that sets it apart from traditional mantel clocks.

    Antique Seth Thomas Regulator No. 1 Clock

    Jan 2022 – #98 Antique American Clocks Seth Thomas “Regulator No. 1” An early No. 1 in less than perfect condition. The rosewood veneer has probably been redone on the bezel and oddly, the left and right sides of the bezel have been trimmed flat; the base is a less-than-perfect replacement. Both glasses are old and the tablet original, but with many losses. trim around the tablet also shows its age. The dial is a newer replacement in good shape, the hands are ST hands but not original to the clock. The 8-day, time-only movement is a modern replacement and unsigned; it runs for only a few minutes. ST weight and a modern pendulum and bob.

    It is not perfect, but you do not know how close it came to staying in my collection. This clock cannot help but increase in value over the years. First the bad; the second hand is not correct, a recast lead weight, some of the paint on the tablet was scraped away, and there is some rough veneer on the bezel. That is all. There are plenty of good things to brag about. My favorite is the embossed pendulum bob signed, “Seth Thomas Clock Co. / Plymouth Hollow, Ct.”, and several other things embossed on the bob also. The complete black and gold label on the weight chute partition is signed the same. There is a complete paper beat scale at the bottom, and it is extremely rare to find all those things in this good condition. Gold pendulum stick, large hands, door lock with key, and the original repainted dial, are all original to the clock. Rectangle unsigned 8 day weight movement is in good running condition. I have known of embossed pendulum bobs selling for almost as much as our minimum for the entire clock. I suppose if you need or want one, huh? Ly-Seth Thomas, pages 269-271.

    This clock is 8 day, one weight descending down the middle of the case behind a partition that slides up and down.Some of this model have labels on the sliding partition, this one doesn’t and not sure there ever was one. Great original painted glass has been rebacked to hold the very nice gold paint. Original old zinc dial has been repainted. The 34-inch mahogany or rosewood veneer case has survived extremely well with hardly any chips. There are some scrapes or scuffs from hauling, etc. but should cover with “Nu Life” polish. The 8 day movement is rectangle and almost identical to the later No. 2 movements. It is like the movement shown at Ly-Seth Thomas No.368. The movement is held by mounting blocks and was used in some of the early No. 2 regulators. Original flat iron weight, old brass pendulum. The clock, glass, and everything, is identical to the one pictured in Ly-Seth Thomas No.354.

    Rosewood veneered case is 34″ tall and in above average condition. The dial bezel is usually the place that has veneer problems. It has a place or two where the veneer was loose and glued back, a few small areas where the veneer is missing, but no visible repairs. They sanded those places, stained them, and are hardly noticeable. The edges are rough in a few places but overall the veneer looks real good There are a couple of places on the base where the edges were nicked, but for its age the clock is as good or better than you will find anywhere. Other good points; a complete and near perfect, black and gold label, including the paper beat scale at the bottom, on the sliding partition that separates the pendulum from the weight chute; an almost perfect tablet painting, with just a smidgen of paint loss. The original dial was apparently repainted years ago. The dial is attached to a circle of wood consisting of 9 pie shaped wood pieces. For whatever reason, one of the nine was replaced, of course it is under the dial and you can’t see it. The hands are correct replacements. The movement is 8 day, weight driven, time only with rectangular solid plates, maintaining power, and a Graham dead beat escapement. The pendulum bob appears to be original although was originally nickel plated, now brass colored. The stick is a very old replacement and the stick hanger a very well made replacement. The flat weight no doubt came with the movement. We have sold a few of these over the years and haven’t had any that were nicer. Ly-Seth Thomas #354.

    Seth Thomas “Regulator No. 1”, C. 1860-1863.

    This is probably one of the first regulator clocks made by Seth Thomas. He purchased the bankrupt stock of Silas B. Terry in 1859 and began construction of his own line of regulators, this being the first. The round movement could well have been one of Silas B. Terry’s stock or made with the patterns and machinery purchased from him. It is very rare to find this movement in the Seth Thomas early regulators. Note how the weight is compounded in the top of the case using two pulleys, plus a third pulley holding the weight. Some restoration is needed to put the case back to original condition. The base will need to be made, order a seconds hand from Timesavers, and have the glass painted. There is no evidence that this case ever had a sliding partition separating the pendulum and weight and on which a label was placed. Instead there is a paper beat scale built into a small shelf on the door, and a label was put in the base. We believe the good zinc dial, bob, gold painted stick, and the flat weight, to be original to the clock. The case would be 34″ if the base were in place.
