Waterbury Clock Co. “Regulator No. 2” ca. 1881.  A 36-inch case veneered in rosewood with a beautiful finish.  The dial glass is original, the lower glass a replacement.  The ‘Regulator’ decal is not shown in catalog illustrations, the carving at the bottom is shown in the 1881 catalog image, whereas a different carving is shown on the 1891 illustration (Ly, Waterbury Clocks & Watches, page 173).  The metal dial has been repainted and the hands are correct; note the seconds bit.  The “A-frame” movement is not shown in Ly’s books on Waterbury clocks, but it is found in other examples of this model; a solid plate movement is noted for the later edition of the No. 2.  The movement runs 8 days and is driven by two weights (double wind).  The weights here are filled brass shells and may well be original.  There is a weight shield with a black and gold label behind the pendulum; note that the clock must hang vertically to allow for the pendulum to swing unobstructed.  It is running without issue.  This is not a common model; the most recent sale I can find was for $350 at Fontaine’s earlier this year. $300-$600.
