Description
F. Kroeber “Regulator No. 46”, ca. 1884. Kroeber Regulators No. 45, 46, and 47 are similar in style and came in walnut or ash. This is ash, 33.5 inches long. It’s got all the embellishments (finials and buttons), the original door glass, a signed 8-day time-and-strike movement that is running and striking on a cathedral gong, and a mirrored glass pendulum. There is even a signed beat scale on the back wall; the only thing missing is a label on the back of the case. The dial is painted, the hands correct. There are two depth-adjusters at the bottom to plumb the clock and hold in place. Half-a-dozen auction sales in the last decade, ranging from $650 to $950. $600-$800.
