| Catalog Description:
C.1890, Seth Thomas Clock Co., Regulator No. 2, in oak, 8-Day single weight wall time piece. Condition: clock retains a wonderful original dial, with some wear to the numerals. The case was refinished some years ago and has a mellow golden oak color; the workman refinished the case inside and out, even varnished the rear of the case. The extreme right and left corners of the bottom trim were repaired with a sliver of oak (looks ok), small bubble in veneer on bow-tie. Movement, hands, weight, pendulum and all case hardware are original. For someone who does not mind a newer finish, this is a clean example of a No. 2. For a full discourse on the No. 2, see Tran Ly's 3rd edition of the Seth Thomas book, pages 276-78. In 2003 we were nearing $2500 on this model in original condition. Height 36 inches [91cm]
