Catalog Description:

C.1880, E. Howard and Co., Boston, Regulator No. 7, figure 8, in walnut with restorations. The top trim got knocked off and a fairly decent cabinet maker re-cut the trim and added an old Victorian head off of a walnut bed, then refinished all to match (apparently done in 1932, as the weight is lettered with that date). A handy wood carver could correct this; see Ly's American Clocks, Volume 1, figure 402 for what the molding should look like. The pendulum stick has been spray gilded (should be leaf), and the baffle has been replaced (tie down and pendulum bob are original), old bottom tablet flaking; center repainted improperly. The original dial itself is very crispy.... has been well preserved with a good signature. Height of clock case 50" (with head as shown 52"). A large and hard to find clock than can be improved.
