Seth Thomas “Empire No. 13 and Lion”, ca. 1913.  A 15.5-inch high crystal regulator with thick beveled glasses, an ornate and gilded base and top, a standard (flat) signed porcelain dial and a gilded lion on top.  All the gilding has been polished off the heavy metal parts (base, top, and lion) and all that is left is the copper base metal.  The left glass has a corner chip.  The dial shows some cracks at the 3 position.  The hands are correct as is the false mercury pendulum; the 8-day time and half-hour strike movement is signed, running, and striking.  A very similar example, with similar loss of gilding sold for near $200 on eBay in 2018.  $150-$200.
