Geo. B. Owen “Regulator No. 3”, ca. 1878.  A second example of this standing regulator (with #1), every bit as spectacular, 9 feet tall in walnut with burled walnut trim on the door and base.  This clock differs from #1 in that it has a nickel bezel, weight, and pendulum, a burled panel on the back wall, and a “sub-base”, a 5-inch tall platform that appears to be original to the clock.  The sub-base is not attached to the base and can be set aside if you like. Like #1, the glasses are old, the 12-inch dial is porcelain with correct hands, including a seconds hand, and all the trim pieces are present and appear to be original.  The Swiss jeweler’s regulator movement is running without issue.  Neither clock has a label or signature that I can find, and since the Owen catalog reprint I have shows no differences between it and the Gilbert clock, I don’t know that we can be sure who made either one (not surprising, as Owen ran the Gilbert Clock Co. concurrently with his own manufacturing operation).  I have assigned makers based on what my consignors told me.  Carroll Horton sold this clock in 2018 for $9250.  Delivery to the eastern half of the US for $500.  $6000-$9000.
