Seth Thomas Regulator No. 6 in Oak, c.1889 |
|
|
Ship From So. CA
|
|
One of the most popular Seth Thomas weight-driven wall clocks is Regulator No. 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 1889.
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 excellent condition (a qualified dial-painter could hide the chip between the VI and VII). This clock also features a beautiful original damascened pendulum bob and an original label that's in exceptioinally nice condition. The glass 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 (2011) 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 climb in value. Don't miss it if you've been seeking a nice, clean original (and this one has an exceptional price, too)!

Here is one of the most popular of the Seth Thomas regulators, but one that they built specially for Ball Watch Co. of Cleveland, the "official" railroad timekeepers. In the 1928 version of this model, the bezel was solid oak instead of veneered and Ball did not add the horizontal "L" brackets inside the head. This clock is a very clean example of this later style. There is an article on the Ball Watch Co. in the Jan 2013 edition of the NAWCC "Buletin" if you would like additional background information.
Physical: The oak case, which has the original finish, measures 20"w x 44"h x 6" d. The 14" dial has the original paint and is in excellent physical condition. The weight and pendulum bob are correct and original, and there is a service label in the bottom side panel, likely from the jeweler(s) with whom Ball contracted to inspect/certify its watches and RR clocks.
People sometimes ask us about the two holes that are in the back of the case on each side of the pendulum on most Seth Thomas clocks. Those were there for a "holding block" that held the pendulum in place during shipment. Occasionally we ship a clock with a reproduction block to make setup simpler, then ask that the block be returned to us for the next shipment.
|
Mechanical: The original eight-day, time-only, deadbeat, retaining-power, signed Seth Thomas movement has been recently overhauled and is in excellent running order, ready for many more years of great service.
Comments: This is a very clean Ball Watch Co. clock. Original finish and dial paint add a lot to its desirability. Give us a call to start the process.

Here is one of the most popular of the Seth Thomas regulators, but one that they built specially for Ball Watch Co. of Cleveland, the "official" railroad timekeepers. One thing that always tells us we have a legitimate Ball Watch No. 3, other than the dial, is the pair of "L" brackets mounted horizontally inside the case. We're not sure if Seth Thomas put them in there as part of the customized order for Ball Watch, or whether Ball added them, but they are always present on this particular Ball model. This one is a very clean example and is older than the one in the previous listing (thus the price differential).
Physical: The oak case, which has the original finish, measures 20"w x 44"h x 6" d. The gilding around the lower door has been restored. The 14" dial has the original paint and is in excellent, age-appropriate condition. The weight and pendulum bob are correct and original, and there is a dark original label in the bottom. The date of manufacture (1891) is stenciled on the back of the case.

Comments: This is probably the nicest of the only several Ball Watch clocks that we've ever offered. Original finish and dial paint add a lot to the value. This model continues to command top dollar at high-end clock auctions; but our prices are lower than that! All it takes is a phone call to start the process...

Seth Thomas Regulator No. 9 in Oak |
|
|
Ship From CA
|
|
(Original Catalogue Drawing) |
|
This is amazing! On the day we shipped the previous Seth Thomas Regulator No. 9, another one showed up and became available to us. Extraordinary! Take a look for yourself:
Physical: The oak case measures 15.75"w x 48"h x 7"d. It bears the original finish, which shows some slight crazing - beautiful. The 10" dial retains its original finish and is in excellent condition. There is a nice label in the base, though we're not sure if it is original.
Mechanical: The eight-day, time-only, deadbeat, retaining-power movement was overhauled in 2011 and is in excellent running order.
Comments: This is a super clock that will make a great addition to your collection or a wonderful single clock. We're delighted to offer it at the same price as the last one we had. Give us a call to make it your own!

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:

|
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 (we will have it serviced again prior to shipment).
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 wall space overload is your opportunity!

Waterbury 30-Day, 24"-Dial Gallery Clock |
|
|
Ship From So. CA
|
|
|
|
Here is one HUGE gallery clock for your consideration, the largest of this style by the Waterbury Clock Co. Its original 1913 catalogue price was $33; now it's a little more expensive!
Physical: The oak case, which has a beautiful finish (assuming original) measures 24" diameter for the dial and 34" diameter across the back of the case, and 5" in depth. It is a BIG clock! The dial has the original paint with the Waterbury logo and the "Thirty Day" marking that has grown faint with age. It could be strengthened by a dial-painter if that was to your liking. There is nice crazing on the dial as you can see in the closeup photos.
Mechanical: The 30-day movement has been overhauled and two new springs installed, so it is in excellent running order, ready for years of great service for you!
|
Comments: Though we have gallery clocks available fairly consistently, seldom have we had one as large as this; and the long-running thirty-day movement makes it a whole lot more desirable. Will it be yours?

24” Dial ~ Weight-Driven
Howard Regulator No. 20, c. 1874
Here is a nice big E.Howard clock for your consideration. Have a magnificent 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 are generally 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!
