Original Listing Description

SETH THOMAS CRYSTAL REGULATOR EMPIRE No. 5 – 1904 This is a hard to find Crystal Regulator that is in excellent condition. These clocks are called Regulators for a reason. This one is keeping excellent time throughout the week within 15 seconds or less each week. You could spend just as much for an unknown. Why not buy one that has been completely serviced properly by me. This clock also comes with its original pendulum completely intact. While disassembling I was shocked to find how heavy the chrome weights inside of the vials (glass tubes) were. Also comes with an original two-sided key. 2005 book value of $750.00. The 3 ¾ inch cream porcelain dial is in excellent condition with no hairline cracks and a gorgeous floral pattern in signature Seth Thomas style adding character to this beauty. This clock has its original hour and minute hands that are always missing or have been replaced with non original hands. Original beveled glass with no chips, cracks or scratches that I can see. Metal case has a beautiful gilded pattern along the top and bottom and a flawless urn on the top giving this clock great esthetics and balance. The movement has been completely rebuilt by me for years of trouble free enjoyment, lubed and oiled in the proper places, and running strong while keeping excellent time week in and week out. Note the count wheel strike that is on the back of the movement instead of a rack and snail strike on the front showing its early age. This clock has a half hour strike 8-day fine round movement that even the winding arbors have their original grommets protecting the winding holes on the dial. The clock strikes on a cathedral gong that has a soft and mellow timbre and decay. Just click on the play button on the video provided to see and hear this clock working. This clock measures 14” high by 6 ¼” wide. This clock will compliment any of your room’s décor with its beauty and sound and you’ll be one of the lucky few who own an Empire No. 5. Buy it as a gift for that special someone, a wedding gift, Holiday gift or even for your own collection to pass on to future generations. The clock will be double boxed and shipped via FedEx Ground/Home Delivery in the continental United States only. Insurance and delivery confirmation is included and will be insured at the actual selling price. Because of its weight and value, shipping will be charged at a flat rate fee of just $40.00. This clock will be sold as is and the seller has the right to end the auction at any time.
