Wm. Gilbert Clock
Co. “Regulator No. 9”, ca. 1901. A 78-inch walnut case with a dark and possibly original finish. All three glasses are
original, with the original putty. The 12-inch dial is porcelain with a sweep second hand; the movement has a dead-beat escapement
and retaining power and is running like a champ. There is a Gilbert brass weight and pendulum with a beat scale. The back
wall has an inlaid burl walnut panel. Fontaine’s sold one in 2021 in a refinished oak case for $2500 and it lacked the square
finials on top and bottom; in fact, of four sales on LiveAuctioneers since 2014, none had the four square finials. See Ly, Gilbert
Clocks, page 134 for a catalog image. Delivery to the “lower 48” for $500 or less, based on distance. $2500-$3500.
