Seth Thomas Empire No. 201 crystal regulator, ca. 1928.
Seth Thomas made about a billion models
of crystal regulators, and this is one of them.
It is described as with a "Rich gold finish.
Square corners."
matte gold finish shows some wear here, especially on the door at the latch, the base in front, and a bit on top.
All four beveled
glasses are just fine.
The dial is porcelain with diamond hands.
It holds a No. 120 eight-day pendulum movement with hour
and half-hour strike, and is 9 5/8 inches tall.
Strikes on a cathedral gong; movement is labeled and has a simulated mercury
It is running and striking without issue.
There are no sales records for this model in the Antique Clocks Price
Guide or online, although Horton's sold a very worn example several years back.
Based on sales of similar models I'd expect
