Wm. Gilbert “Regulator No. 7”, ca. 1881. An 8.5-foot standing regulator
in walnut with burl panels on the front door and base, a carved top and a pressed wood figurehead. All the parts and trim are
there, top to bottom, and everything looks original. The finish is clean and bright. The dial is porcelain with three
correct hands, the trim brass along with a brass weight and jeweler’s pendulum. The front and side glasses are old, the jeweler’s
regulator movement is Swiss. It is running just fine. A great example; one sold last September in Houston for $6000 and
it had incorrect finials and replaced trim, as well as a 27% buyer’s premium. Delivery to the eastern half of the US for $500. $6000-$9000.
