Seth Thomas Regulator No. 30 in Cherry Antique Clock Guy

Ship from So CA

All Original Seth Thomas Regulator No. 30
In Hard-to-Find Cherry, c.1909

Here is another mainstay of the serious Seth Thomas collector. Most of this model have been absorbed into and held closely by serious collectors. This one is in absolutely original condition throughout. We're fortunate at present to have three of this model from which you may choose, this relatively rare one in cherry, and two in oak.

Physical: The dark oak case retains its original finish and measures 18"w x 49"h x 7"d. The 12" diameter dial retains the original paint... usually repainted in older Seth Thomas clocks of this genre. The glass is original and bubbly. With reverse-gilded glass it is extremely difficult to verify age. Often, they have been "re-blacked" over time as the covering paint has worn with cleaning. So, all we can tell you about this one is that it looks great from the front. Probably old, but we can't guarantee it. There is a label in the bottom that has been replaced. Most Seth Thomas inside bottom labels this old are either gone, mostly gone, or very dark (what's left of them). The pendulum and weight are original.

Mechanical: The single-weight, time-only, deadbeat, retaining-power movement is in excellent running order, having recently been professionally overhauled, and is ready for years of great service for you.

Comments: Grab it while you can... a classic Seth Thomas design in relatively short supply that isn't going anywhere but up in value.

Seth Thomas Regulator No. 3 in Burled Walnut - Antique Clocks Guy

Seth Thomas Regulator No. 3 in Burled Walnut - Antique Clocks Guy

Ship From So. CA

Here is one of the most desired of the "industrial" Seth Thomas regulators. This particular model, which has a large 14" dial was made in several wood configurations, with oak being the most common. Burled walnut is the least common and most desirable of them all.

Physical: The walnut case measures 20"w x 44"h x 6"d and has the original finish. As you can see, it is in excellent physical condition, including the tips of the finials being present. The 14" dial has the original paint, and is also in excellent condition. The nickel trim, with the exception of the weight, was recently replated and is beautiful. Note the beautiful damascened pendulum bob. There is an old, original label in the inside bottom of the case. Grungy as most are, but still there!

Mechanical: The eight-day, time-only, deadbeat, retaining-powere movement was recently professionally overhauled and is in excellent running order, ready for years of great service for you.

Comments: This model generally moves very quickly. Are you quick, too?

Seth Thomas Regulator No. 2 in Cherry

Original Catalogue Drawing - Seth Thomas Regulator No. 2 - Antique Clocks Guy

(Original Catalogue Drawing)

Most of the Seth Thomas Regulator 2 models were made in oak (see PDF ID Guide). Next came mahogany. Then, relative to the oak and mahogany versions, relatively few were made in cherry, and a few in walnut. We don't see the cherry models often and haven't seen a walnut No. 2 in a several years. So here is a very original Regulator No. 2 in cherry for your consideration, only the second one we've had in cherry in a year.

Physical: The case measures 15.5"w x 34"h x 5"d and retains its original finish. The 12" diameter dial is in very good condition and retains its original paint (a large percentage of these Seth Thomas clocks have repainted dials). There are a couple of age-appropriate blemishes that you can see in the photos (left lower rear moulding and right side of door). There is a nice original label remaining inside the case at the bottom that you can see in the photo of the pendulum below.

Mechanical: The eight-day time-only movement is original to this clock and in excellent running order, having recently been professionally overhauled.

Comments: Been seeking a No. 2 that's not oak or mahogany? Here's your opportunity to own a nice original one now!

LARGE Seth Thomas 18” Lobby Clock in Oak
Seth Thomas 18 in Lobby Clock in Oak - Antique Clocks Guy

Ship From So. CA

These big Seth Thomas Lobby clocks don't come along too often any more. We think people just love them and can't bear to part with such a large-dialed clock. This one is a great example of the species.

Physical: The large oak case measures 25"w x 38"h x 7"d. It was recently professionally refinished and is in excellent condition. The 18" dial has the original paint... and the glass is old and wavy.

Mechanical: The 15-day time-only movement was overhauled in 2009, is all original, including hands and pendulum, in excellent running order, and ready for years of great service.

Comments: Been looking for a big guy... here he is!

E. Howard & Co. Regulator No. 70 ~ 16” Dial
E.Howard & Co. Regulator No. 70 - RARE 16 in. dial - Antique Clocks Guy

Ship From So. CA

In the late 1800s and through at least the first quarter of the 1900s, E.Howard & Co. supplied somewhere in the range of 20-25% of all industrial clocks in America. Regulator No. 70 represents perhaps the best selling of all their industrial regulators. It was made in five physical and dial sizes as follows:

  • 24" dial/52" case
  • 20" dial/48" case
  • 16" dial/41" case
  • 14" dial/36" case
  • 12" dial/32" case

Over the years we have had numerous of the 12" configuration, and a couple of the 14" configuration. Here's a chance to move into the "big time" with a whopping 16" dial in an exquisite case. Take a look for yourself.

Physical: The oak case has the original finish, measures 41"h x "w x "d. The 16" dial has the original paint and is in excellent condition. The tablet also is in excellent condition with one very small bit of blacking off just above the pendulum view window (easily corrected). The weight and damascened pendulum are original to the clock.

Mechanical: The single weight, eight-day, retaining-power, time-only movement is in excellent running order.

Comments: These big guys don't come along often... so do what you need to do!

Seth Thomas Regulator No. 6 in Walnut - Antique Clocks Guy

Outstanding Original Clock!

Seth Thomas Regulator No. 6 in Walnut - Antique Clocks Guy
Seth Thomas Regulator No. 6 in Walnut - Antique Clocks Guy

One of the most popular of the Seth Thomas wall regulators is the number 6. So popular that it was copied and re-released in the 1970s by General Time, the company that bought the Seth Thomas (and has since folded). THIS IS NOT A REPRODUCTION, but an original clock with a factory stenciled date on the back of 1881.

Physical: The walnut case has the original finish and measures 49"h x 16/5"w x 6" d. The 10" diameter dial has the original paint in very good condition. There is a chip between the VII and VIII that could be made to go away by a talented dial-painter. There were originally little balls on the bottom of the lower finials that are no longer present; the finials could be restored by our specialist here (extra fee at our cost). This clock also features a beautiful original damascened pendulum bob and an original label that's in very good condition. The glass has imperfections and appears to be original.

Mechanical: This model uses the same time-only, weight-driven movement that's in the Regulator No. 2. The original 80-beat movement features lantern pinions, Graham pallets. This one was just overhauled (2007) and is in excellent running order, ready for years of great service for you.

Comments: Like the other Seth Thomas wall-hanging, weight-driven clocks, this model has continued to scream up in value. Don't miss it if you've been seeking a nice, clean original. We were fortunate to have another about a month ago (amazing to have two so close together) and it disappeared quickly. That won't happen unless you snooze!

Seth Thomas Regulator No. 2 in Oak - Antique Clocks Guy

Ship from So CA

Seth Thomas Regulator No. 2 in Oak

Here's another fine example of the highly sought-after Seth Thomas Regulator No. 2, this one with Roman numerals and the triple-bottom configuration as you can see in the attached chart. What more could you want... this is a clean clock with original finish and dial paint, and priced very fairly, especially since it's not been messed with by some amateur clock hacker!

Physical: The "triple-bottom" oak case, which has the original finish with polished and re-lacquered brass, measures 15.5"w x 34"h x 5"d. The 12" dial has the original paint and is in excellent original condition as you can see in the photos. A couple of service dates are penciled in on the bottom of the dial (behind the wood bezel, so you can see them when the bezel is opened). Label inside is not original; many of these labels have long ago disappeared or turned absolutely black. Note the presence of the little "tits" on the bottom that are so frequently missing on these earlier "triple-bottom" models.

Mechanical: The eight-day, time-only, deadbeat, retaining-power movement was overhauled in 2006, is in excellent running order, and is ready for years of great service for you.

Comments: There is a continually increasing demand for No. 2s in the marketplace. If you've been contemplating purchasing a No. 2, this might be your time (no pun intended)!

Seth Thomas Regulator No. 9 Oak

Awesome Condition!
Seth Thomas Regulator No. 9 in Oak

Here's another classic Seth Thomas regulator like the one above, but in oak.

Physical: The oak case is in fabulous physical condition, having been professionally refurbished... it looks/feels like new. The case measures 15.75"w x 48"h x 7"d. It's a beauty! The 10" dial has the original paint... a great bonus as most Seth dials have long ago started flaking off or have been repainted.

Mechanical: The single-weight, eight-day, time-only, deadbeat escapement, retaining-power movement is in excellent running order, ready for years of great service in your home or office. Weight, pendulum, movement, hands, etc. are all original.

Comments: Not a frequently available clock. And this one's a real beauty. Give us a call to make it yours!

Waterbury Regulator No 3 in Walnut - Antique Clocks Guy

Ship from So. CA

Extremely Clean/Original
Waterbury Regulator No. 3 in Walnut

Here's a rock-solid example of a two-weight Waterbury regulator, c.1891. We discovered (too late) that we have a focus problem with the front and front right photos. Looks like the ambient light in the room tricked the flash not to flash, so gave us a grainy photo. We'll replace it when we next visit our consignor, but don't let that stop you from buying the clock in the meantime!

Physical: The walnut case has the original finish and measures 16"w x 46"h x 5.5"d. The case is in excellent physical condition as you can see in the photos. There is a door-jamb scratch on the inside from the latch that doesn't show from the front when the door is closed. We would seal it and stain it to match if it were ours. The 8.5" diameter dial is original to the clock and the hands and door glass are original as well. If original is what you like, this clock is it!

Mechanical: The eight-day, time-only, deadbeat escapement movement was professionally overhauled in 2005 and is ready for years of great service in your home or office.

Comments: This is an extraordinarily clean clock. Not fancy, just solid American design. Don't let it slip through your grasp!

Physical: The quartered oak case measures 19.875"w x 53.25"h x 8"d. It is in excellent condition, having recently been professionally restored. The 10" dial is original to the clock and in excellent condition. Weights are original, too.

Mechanical: The time-only, 2-weight movement was completely overhauled in 2005 and is in excellent running order.

Comments: The Waterbury company was known for ornate wood cases and strong movements. This clock is an excellent example of the genre.

Howard Regulator No. 20 in Marble - Antique Clocks Guy

Howard Regulator No. 20 in Marble - Antique Clocks Guy

Ship From So. CA

24” Dial ~ Weight-Driven
Howard Regulator No. 20, c. 1874

Here is a nice big E.Howard clock for your consideration. Got a great mantle that needs a large format clock above? This would be a great choice. We don't see this model floating around out there. And other Howard marble clocks (as you can see) are much more pricey; this one is a bargain.

Physical: The widest/tallest part of the clock is 28". The marble is in excellent condition. The dial signature has been "strengthened". Note the great damascened pendulum bob.

Mechanical: The signed eight-day, time-only, single weight movement is in excellent overhauled condition, ready for years of service. Most of these old Howards have had the weight fall at some point and go right through the bottom of the case; not so with this one.

Note the rod that goes up from the movement: it goes to a rate adjustment knob on the top of the case that is not visible from the front. Also, note the lever on the bottom that folds out of view, but which can be folded down to (cleverly) restart the pendulum without having to open the front of the case... very cool.

Comments: Ready for a substantial wall clock? You know how to reach us!

Seth Thomas/American Clock Co
Regulator No. 30
Seth Thomas/American Clock Co. Regulator No. 30 - Antique Clocks Guy

Ship From So. CA

This is an interesting clock in that the American Clock Comany had the same (similar) clock made for them by Seth Thomas, Kroeber, Waterbury and New Haven, each with their own movements.

This particular clock has an original signed Seth Thomas spring-driven movement. There may be some confusion here as most of us think about an entirely different clock when we hear "Seth Thomas Regulator No. 30 (see examples below on this page). But ST apparently used this model number in 1874 for this particular clock, then again in 1909 for the much larger, more "Seth-like" weight-driven regulator.

Physical: The recently professionally restored highly detailed walnut case measures 16"w x 37"h x 4.5"d. The 6" dial was professionally restored by the famous dial-painter, Martha Smallwood. Both are in excellent condition.

Mechanical: The eight-day time and bell-strike movement was recently professionally overhauled and is in excellent running order. The pendulum is original to the clock.

Comments: This is a pristine example of an interesting 19th Century American regulator. A simple phone call will get it on its way to you.
