Seth Thomas No. 2 Regulator, 8 Day Time Only Wall Clock Oak Case, Beautiful & Running Seth Thomas No. 2 Regulator, 8 Day Time Only Wall Clock Oak Case, Beautiful & Running Click images to enlarge Description Heritage Matters SETH THOMAS WALL CLOCK OAK CASE, "REGULATOR NUMBER 2" MODEL 8 DAY MOVEMENT, TIME ONLY, RUNNING Ca. 1917 - 1922 THIS is a guaranteed genuine antique Seth Thomas wall clock, their famous Regulator Number 2. The case is oak. It has a properly marked Seth Thomas #77B eight day time only movement. The finish is good, in need of a rub-down with quality beeswax polish. The finish seems to be original--I see no evidence of it having been refinished. As far as I can tell--and I am pretty certain of this--it is all is original, except the key. The zinc dial shows wear, with very minor losses. I disassembled the movement, ultrasonically cleaned it, polished the pivots, restrung the weight,then reassembled and lubricated it. It measures about 35 X 15.5 X 5.5 inches. It has the base style which was discontinued in 1922, and the movement is a 77B with cut pinions, which Thomas began using about 1917. That puts its manufacture in the six year period from 1917 to 1922. There is one small area on the base, at the very front, where the glue on the veneer has partially released. It cannot be seen on the photos, you have to run your hand over it to feel it. This came out of a Maryland Eastern Shore estate in which the last family member died (so I am told) at age 104, though they spent their last few years in a nursing home. ?Although running, I sell all mechanical and electrical devices in "AS-IS" condition. This is because old items like this can easily get broken or out of adjustment in shipping. You still have an inspection period of 30 days during which the item can be returned for any reason for a refund of the purchase price only--however it must be returned in the same condition in which I shipped it, meaning if there is damage, an insurance claim must be made. Should there be a problem with your purchase, please contact me directly through the eBay mail system. I can and will do the same things directly that I would through eBay, and probably more quickly. NO RESERVE! MY PLEDGE TO YOU: no surprises! I will provide high-resolution scans; I will fully describe each item, obverse and reverse, positives and negatives, possibilities, likelihoods, what I suspect, and which is which; and I will provide as much historical context as I can. Now, I believe that the only people who never make mistakes are those who never say or do anything, so consequently, there will be times I am wrong. There, you are covered by my guarantee. MY GUARANTEE TO YOU: I guarantee each item to be genuine as described. After you receive your purchase, you will have a 30 day inspection period; and if you are dissatisfied, simply return the item (in its original condition) for an immediate refund of your purchase price. Furthermore, if in the inspection period, you decide to send the item for expertizing, I will extend the period until its return from the expert of your choice. If it returns with an opinion of not genuine, or of being significantly different from how I describe it, I will also reimburse you for the expertizing fee.
