Seth Thomas “Regulator No. 1 Extra”, ca. 1875.  An absolutely gorgeous case veneered in rosewood with just a couple of good repairs on the bezel.  Unfortunately, there are several significant issues.  There is no lower glass; you will need to have one cut and painted in the ST No. 1 design.  The pendulum bob is a cheap replacement and you will need to find an ST pendulum bob.  The weight is from a Howard No. 70 and is so marked.  The bottom weight shield board, which normally displays a beat scale, is missing.  The seconds bit is an improper replacement.  Note that there is some minute flaking to the painted dial.  This example has the early round movement made by S.B. Terry and is signed only with an ‘X’.  It is running without issue.  If this clock had the lower glass and correct bob I would expect $1200-$1500. $600-$1000.
