65.      $1000

Seth Thomas “Regulator No. 3”, ca. 1928.  A 40-inch quartered oak case with an old finish, the dial glass old, the lower glass likely a replacement.  This model was originally designed for railroad use and has a 14-inch diameter dial (see Ly, Seth Thomas Clocks & Movements, Vol. 1, page 280); other No. 3’s have 12-inch dials and 44-inch cases. The dial has been repainted, the hands are Seth Thomas issue.  I believe that the two returns that should be on each side of the bottom have been lost on this clock.  The weight and pendulum bob are correct.  The No. 62 movement is signed and running, with maintaining power and deadbeat escapement.  This clock will do the job you need done.  Horton’s sold one in 2019 for $1250.  $1000-$1200.
