Antique American Clocks
Geo. B. Owen "Regulator No. 3", ca. 1878.
A second example of this standing
regulator (with #1), every bit as spectacular, 9 feet tall in walnut with burled walnut trim on the door and base.
differs from #1 in that it has a nickel bezel, weight, and pendulum, a burled panel on the back wall, and a "sub-base", a 5-inch tall
platform that appears to be original to the clock.
The sub-base is not attached to the base and can be set aside if you like.
Like #1, the glasses are old, the 12-inch dial is porcelain with correct hands, including a seconds hand, and all the trim pieces
are present and appear to be original.
The Swiss jeweler's regulator movement is running without issue.
Neither clock
has a label or signature that I can find, and since the Owen catalog reprint I have shows no differences between it and the Gilbert
clock, I don't know that we can be sure who made either one (not surprising, as Owen ran the Gilbert Clock Co. concurrently with his
own manufacturing operation).
I have assigned makers based on what my consignors told me.
