21.               $500

E. Howard & Co. “No. 70 Regulator”, ca. 1900.  An oak case (31 inches long) with a 12-inch dial.  The case shows modest wear on an old finish, the dial glass original, the lower glass old and either rebacked or repainted.  The dial is also period but a likely substitute for the original.  The hands are correct, the 8-day, time-only movement is running fine, driven by a No. 70 weight and regulated by a pendulum bob that shows much wear and no damascening. There is a label on the original wooden weight shield and a complete pendulum tie-down.  AAC sold a similar example last summer for $750.  $500-$800.
