E. Howard & Co. “No. 70 Regulator”, ca. 1920.  A 31-inch walnut case with a clean finish.  Both glasses appear to be original, but the tablet has been repainted.  The dial holds very old paint with considerable crackling, faded numbering and signature, and some touch-up at screw holes and the center openings; the hands are original.  The Howard No. 70 movement is running without issue.  The pendulum stick has been repaired at the top; the weight is correct.  There is a wooden weight shield and a Howard tie-down.  A nice example.  $600–$900.
