We are pleased to be able to offer this exceptional regulator for your serious consideration.
Little is known about the U.S. Clock Co. Founded and operated by Henry Terhune and George Edwards, the firm was in business from 1870-ish through at least 1900 as best as we can tell. Their trademark had US Clock Co with the "U" and "S" intertwined. Sales rooms were at No. 18 Cortlandt St., NYC under the name Terhune & Edwards. They produced a series of high-grade regulators, both hanging and standing, some with multiple dials (astronomical regulators).
Physical: The elegant case, which measures 30.5"w x 78"h x 10.5"d, was professionally refurbished with 8-10 coats of hand-applied and hand-rubbed shellac as was originally done in the factory; it is stunning!
These high-grade regulators were all most likely made to order and some differences in size is common, even with the E. Howard clocks that do not always match catalogue descriptions.
This is definitely a Regulator "E" in the opinion of our outside experts. The pendulum is 100% original. The Ly book shows the same pendulum on the "B" and
"F" floor-standing models.

The upper finials are correct and original. One of the lower side finials is a copy of the other original one and the center finial is a matching copy scaled correctly to the clock. If you look at the uppers they are a different design yet very similar to the catalogue cut, but this is also common among large wall-hanging regulators.
The glass is all original, including the German mirror behind the pendulum. The original wood panel behind the mirror was decayed and replaced for stability (though one cannot see that without taking the clock off the wall). The replacement panel is a duplicate of the original.
Note the exceptional 20-facet original jar in the signed mercurial pendulum. The reflection of the pendulum against the exceptional mirror is captivating.
The original 14" re-silvered dial is in excellent condition and features a subsidiary seconds dial. The hands are original.
Mechanical: The precision signed deadbeat movement is original to the clock, was professionally serviced in 2011, and is in excellent running order.
Comments: Here is an opportunity to own one of the highest-quality American wall regulators of the late 19th Century. Give us a call to make arrangements.

Waltham Regulator No. 16
Big and Bold! |
|
|
Ship From CA
|
|
(original catalogue) |
|
We have not had a large Waltham wall clock like this in quite some time. And never one in such pristine condition. These were typically used in commercial, industrial and school applications. The original catalogue drawing does not come close to representing what a pretty clock it actually is. The 1910 Waltham catalogue offered this clock for $72; it's a bit more than that now!
Physical: The solid oak case, which measures 18"w x 67.5"h x 10.5"d has been French-polished and is in excellent physical condition. The 12" dial retains the original paint and is in excellent condition as you can see in the photos below. It is signed "Waltham Clock Co." The glass is also original.
Mechanical: The heavy-duty, eight-day, time-only, deadbeat, retaining-power Waltham movement is original to the case, was professionally serviced in 2011 and is in excellent running order. It is mounted on a typical Waltham heavy metal plate as you will see in the photo. In addition, the clock has a GREAT original damascened nickel pendulum bob.
Comments: This is a big, beautiful clock - understated elegance - that is in excellent overall condition, running like a champ and ready to ship to you. Give us a call to get the process started.

70" E. Howard Regulator No. 59 ~ With 12" Dial |
|
|
Ship From So. CA
|
|
(Orig Catalogue Drawing) |
|
E.Howard & Co. made this clock in four sizes, ranging from 3' with a 6" dial to this one that is 5'10" long with a 12" dial. Knowledgeable observers will immediately note that this is the same case as Regulator No. 71, the difference being that the 71 has a seconds bit (and would sell for nearly three times this amount if you were one of the handful of people in the world fortunate enough to find one)!
Physical: The 70" case is in spectacular condition. The top finial and one of the small bottom finials were replaced and the case professionally recoated by one of the top anqituities restorers on the West Coast. There is a small chip on the upper right finial which we turned to the front so you can see it in one of the photos, but it can be reversed so the chip is not visible. The 12" diameter dial was restored by the famous dial-painter, Martha Smallwood and is in excellent condition. Great pendulum bob, too! The glass has been properly replaced.
Mechanical: The single-weight, time-only movement was professionally overhauled in 2006 and serviced again in 2011. It is in excellent running order.
Comments: This beautiful, show-stopping clock will draw "oohs" and "ahs" wherever it's hung - in your home or office.

Waterbury Jeweler's Pinwheel Regulator No. 7 |
|
|
Ship From So. CA
|
|
|
|
One of the most sought after of the "big cats" of the Waterbury Clock Co, this particular case was sold with two different pendulums: this one with the "lyre" configuration, and another with a mercury jar.
Physical: The oak case, which was professionally restored in 2005, measures 22.5"w x 82"h x 11"d and is in excellent condition with original glass. The 12" porcelain dial is original, in excellent condition, and features a sweep seconds hand.
Mechanical: The Swiss pinwheel escapement, deadbeat, eight-day, time-only movement is encased in the original iron box with side doors to keep dust down. It has been professionally overhauled, is in excellent running order, and ready for years of great service to you and your family.
Comments: We have only had a handful of these clocks since we started our online business in 1998. Each has quickly gone. We suspect this one will, too. Will it be to your home?
