Belmont Clock Co. “No. 5 Regulator”, 2010.  The Belmont Clock Co. (Belmont, MA) made 10 replicas of the Hatch No. 5 Regulator in 2010.  These clocks were handmade without nails, in the same manner as made by Hatch in the 1880’s. The poplar case is 33 inches long with a grain-painted finish and a deep lacquer luster; there is a scratch on the left side near the upper latch, and a small nick near the lower latch.  The dial is 12 inches in diameter.  The 8-day time-only movement was made by Charles Lenderman.  The clock is running as you would expect.  These clocks sold for $3000 at the time of manufacture; I can find no resale records.  $850-$1200.
