Antique American Clocks
Welch, Spring & Co. "Regulator No. 3", ca. 1878.
A weight-driven regulator,
time-only, 8 days with two weights.
The 34-inch case is in rosewood veneer in excellent condition; the veneer on the bezel is
so good that it is probably not original.
Both glasses are old, the tablet has been repainted.
The movement is unsigned
and not shown in Ly's book on Welch clocks; it is running weakly and needs a thorough cleaning.
The clock did not come with
weights but the two 4-lb round weights I installed are shown in other examples and are sufficient to power the movement.
12-inch dial is likely an old repaint, with some soiling.
The hands are Welch issue.
An uncommon clock with only a couple
of examples in the Antique Clocks Price Guide, one of which sold at R.O. Schmitt's in 2017 for $350.
