Seth Thomas Regulator No. 3 in Quartered Oak
|
|
|
|
|
One of the most sought-after Seth Thomas clocks, and basic to any serious American clocks collection, is the classic Regulator No. 3, circa 1879-1896.
These clocks, particularly those in Oak, were widely used in railroads, schools and industry because of their reliable, precise timekeeping. The Ball Watch Co. was famous for using this model for railroad timekeeping (private-labeled by Seth Thomas). This is a fine example of the breed.
Physical: The beautiful quartered oak case measures 20"w x 44"h x 6"d is in excellent condition. It was overcoated at some point in th past. After years and years of cleaning, finish sometimes becomes thin and/or dry. Overcoating was and still is a common professional restoration practice, without stripping and refinishing the case, strengthening rather than replacing the original finish. The gilding around the door, which is usually rubbed through if visible at all, was also nicely restored on this clock at some point in the past and looks great. The dial retains the original paint and is marked with the "ST" logo. There is a (typical) label remnant in the inside bottom of the case.
Mechanical: The eight-day, time-only, deadbeat, retaining-power movement was professionally overhauled in 2010 is in excellent running order. The pulley, weight and pendulum are correct and original.
Comments: This is a very clean clock and at a great price. We sold the last one of these in oak for $4,450. Our consignor got a great price on this clock so you do, too. Call to make it yours (we know you want it)!

Seth Thomas “ Umbria” in Mahogany
|
|
|
|
|
It's been years since we had a Seth Thomas "Umbria" model to sell. They are very stately clocks that were particularly popular with jewelers and with fire alarm companies... interesting! Personally, we think this is one of Seth Thomas' nicest-looking wall clocks.
Physical: The rich-looking mahogany cas measures 40.5"h x (my consignor has not sent us the other dimensions) and is in excellent condition as you can see. It was overcoated at some point in th past. After years and years of cleaning, finish sometimes becomes thin and/or dry. Overcoating was and still is a common professional restoration practice, without stripping and refinishing the case, strengthening rather than replacing the original finish. The 10" dial, signed "Seth Thomas" is in excellent overall condition and has the original paint. The glass is original as well, and there's an old, dark label on the inside bottom.
Mechanical: The 8-day time-and-strike literally "industrial-strength" movement was overhauled in 2010 an is in excellent running order. This is the same basic movement that was used by Seth Thomas in not only their own clocks, but also in the time-recorders they made for most of the industrial clockmaking firms in the United States. These are workhorse movements that pretty much last forever.
Comments: This a great clock that we would welcome into our own collection... we've always wanted one, but the little wifey keeps reminding we're in the clock "selling" not clock "collecting" business... bummer!

E. Howard Regulator No. 70 in Cherry - 14” Dial
Signed “ Riggs & Bros ~ Philadelphia ”
|
|
|
Ship From So. CA
|
|
The E.Howard & Co Regulator No. 70 has long been a mainstay in serious American clock collections. These clocks were widely used in commercial, school, railroad and industrial applications, some as "program clocks" with relay switching.
Most are in oak and have a 12" dial, but this model was also made in versions with 14", 16", 20" and 24" dials. We've never had either of the two larger sizes and have only seen a few with dials larger than 12". We also have the large 16" size presently available in oak. But this one in cherry is an unusual opportunity to own the nicest Regulator No. 70 we've ever seen.
Physical: The beautiful cherry case measures 18"w x 36"h x 4.5"d and is in excellent condition with original finish. It appears that the tablet has been re-blacked, which is the norm rather than the exception on clocks of this genre. This clock has a wonderful damascened pendulum bob that is original to the clock.
The 14" dial retains the original paint and is also in excellent original condition. It is signed "Riggs & Bros ~ Philadephia". Riggs was a jeweler and supplier of industrial, marine and other timekeeping devices. Read the linked article and see a HUGE Riggs clock that we sold several years ago.
Mechanical: The single weight-driven, eight-day, time-only, deadbeat escapement, retaining-power movement was professionally overhauled in 2009 and is in excellent running order - ready for years of great service to you.
Comments: Wether you're looking to expand your collection, or just buy a single great wall clock, give this one serious consideration. It's as clean as you'll ever find, and priced incredibly fairly.

E. Howard & Co. Regulator No. 70 ~ 16” Dial
|
|
|
|
|
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. 2 in Cherry
(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!

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)!

E. Howard & Co. Regulator No. 59 ~ 46” ~ c.1880
|
|
|
|
|
E.Howard & Co. Regulators No. 59 have long been favorites of serious collectors. Howard made this same clock in four sizes:
| Length |
|
Dial Diameter |
| 36" |
|
6" |
| 46" |
|
8" |
| 56" |
|
10" |
| 70" |
|
12" |
Physical: The walnut case measures 14.75"w x 46"h x 6"d and is in excellent overall condition with the original finish. We noticed a small chip on horizontal moulding just above the right lower finial and a small abraision on the left corner of the post just above the left-hand column. The glass is not bubbly, so difficult to say for sure if it is original. We have included a photo of the inside of the door so you can see the glass installation for yourself. The 8" dial is original to the clock, in excellent condition and has the original paint. The dial is signed "E. Howard & Co ~ Boston". It has a spectacular damascened pendulum bob.
Mechanical: The eight-day time-only, single-weight movement was professionally serviced in 2009 and is in excellent running order.
Comments: We have only had a few of these to offer our clients over the years as most stay put in collections. The collection where this one resides continues to grow with larger clocks and has run out of room for more, so their wallspace oveload is your opportunity!

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.

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!

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!

Waterbury Regulator No. 53, c.1906
Here's a wonderful Waterbury hanging clock with a lot of nice detail in the case that's in excellent physical and mechanical condition. Check the detailed photos below!
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.

LARGE Seth Thomas 18” Lobby Clock in Oak
|
|
|
|
|
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!

30-Day Seth Thos 18” Gallery Clock in Mahogany
|
|
|
|
|
If you've been looking for a large gallery clock, this one should be considered seriously. These Seth Thomas clocks were in their catalogues between 1884-1924.
Physical: The mahogany case retains its original finish. It measures 25.5" in diameter across the back and is 7" in depth. The dial, which has the original paint, is 18" in diameter and is in excellent condition (touched up by the famous dial-painter, Martha Smallwood.
Mechanical: The heavy-duty THIRTY-DAY time-only deadbeat escapement movement was professionally overhauled in 2009 and is in excellent running order, ready for years of beautiful service to you.
Comments: Large gallery clocks are fairly difficult to come by. We're proud to offer this fine clock to you.

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!
