Description

Seth Thomas “Regulator No. 6”, 1891. A 48-inch walnut case with an old and slightly rough finish – it looks like it has been cleaned, but not completely. It’s only noticeable up close. There is a vertical split in the center of the crest, and the upper finial tips are degraded; the right front cornice piece has been replaced and is painted dark brown. I almost missed it. The lower finials are correct, one of several styles used. The door glass is old but probably a replacement; the dial was repainted/relined some time ago and shows some wear and smearing of the numbering. It is signed, the hands are correct. The 8-day, time-only movement is unsigned; it is running poorly and will need service. There is a nickel weight that is not ST issue but will do. The pendulum stick is a replacement, the bob is nickel and damascened; the dial bezel and weight pully are also nickel. There is no label, but there is a date stamp (1891) on the back. AAC sold this clock last year for $850. $500-$900.
