Antique American Clocks
Seth Thomas "Regulator No. 18", ca. 1883.
The No. 18 is 54 inches tall, this one in walnut
or, possibly, darkly stained oak, with a polished finish.
The repainted metal dial is 14 inches in diameter, with three proper
hands and a ST logo.
Both glasses are old.
The pendulum bob and stick are correct, as is the single brass weight.
The unsigned time-only movement is as shown in Ly,
Seth Thomas Clocks & Movements
, Vol. 1, page 300; it beats seconds and is running
effortlessly.
No label inside or out.
No two ways around it, this is a nice example.
Horton's sold one in 2019 for
$1750, as did Fontaine's.
$1500-$2000.
