Antique American Clocks July 2021
62. $750
Seth Thomas “Regulator No. 30”, ca. 1909. A second example; this one 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. $800-$1200.
