Antique American Clocks January 2021

Seth Thomas “Regulator No. 18”, ca. 1883. The No. 18 is 54 inches tall, this one in walnut
or, possibly, darkly stained oak, with a polished finish. The repainted metal dial is 14 inches in diameter, with three proper
hands and a ST logo. Both glasses are old. The pendulum bob and stick are correct, as is the single brass weight. The unsigned time-only movement is as shown in Ly, Seth Thomas Clocks & Movements, Vol. 1, page 300; it beats seconds and is running
effortlessly. No label inside or out. No two ways around it, this is a nice example. Horton’s sold one in 2019 for
$1750, as did Fontaine’s. $1500-$2000.
