| Catalog Description:
C.1875, Seth Thomas Clock, "Regulator No. 1 Extra, Striking", 8-day, 2-weight wall clock in very good condition. This nicely refinished rosewood veneered case is attractive, although sealer was not used and the grain is a bit open. There is a little raised veneer on a couple of small spots on the dial bezel and a small chip on one bezel joint. The numerals have been restored over the original surface, and some touch-up around winding holes by the Dial House, and the dial is very nice. (Camera has accentuated spots which are not visible in natural light). The hands and pendulum with gilt rod are original. The painted tablet has been restored on the original glass. The case has an excellent label. This clock came from the Frank Grosso collection several years ago. It is in good running order. For details on this model, and photos of the unique Terry style movement, see Tran Duy Ly's book titled Seth Thomas Clocks, (1996), page 108. Height 44 inches
