Seth Thomas “Regulator No. 30”, ca. 1909. This clock originally started out as a Self-winding
(electric) clock; it has been converted back to the mechanical version with a Regulator No. 2 unsigned movement, as was originally
used in this model. The dial board was replaced in the process. The 48-inch case is cherry and has been refinished nicely;
the door glass is old, the 12-inch dial was repainted by The Dial House in 2017, the hands are correct, as are the weight and pendulum. There is no label; there are several filled holes in the backboard near the bob, and the dial slips a bit in the bezel to rub against
the seconds bit. Shouldn’t be hard to fix, and absent that small issue the clock is running without problem. Schmitt’s
sold two examples in oak in 2018 for $1400 and $1100. $1200-$1500.
