Catalog Description:
C.1920, Seth Thomas "Regulator No. 3" in oak and good condition, except as noted. This is very likely a railway contract model, as it appears that the little "ears" below 4 and 8 have been added and the finials have not been turned to the proper profile. I guess someone along the way wanted it to look like an early No.1 extra, so they added a screened "Regulator" tablet in lieu of the clear glass this model calls for. Uses large No.62 movement with 72 beats, cut pinions and maintaining power. The veneer on the rear of the back has lifted in some areas... is fine on front of the back; also a center split in the back. The oak veneer is overall in nice condition. The dial has been refinished by the Dial House. Has original label inside case bottom. Height 44"
