Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Regulator No. 2”,ca. 1863.  This unusual model is shown in Ly, Seth Thomas Clocks & Movements, Vol. 1 on page 274.  It uses a weight behind a baffle, as does the No. 1 model, and lacks a seconds hand, usually found on both models.  The unusual tablet looks to be original, with some touch-up; the atypical hands are also shown in the catalog illustration.  Here’s what’s not good: The 34-inch case does not appear to be veneered (although it probably was at one time); the dial is paper and there is no zinc dial pan.  Just yellowed paper.  That can be fixed.  The 8-day, time-only movement is not signed (typical) and has had some solder repairs to the crutch and pendulum hanger; it is running like a champ.  The pendulum stick and bob are ST issue, the cast iron weight is proper/original, and there is a good Plymouth Hollow label on the wooden weight shield.  The weight pulley has been repaired.  A rare model.  $350–$600.
