DESCRIPTION:
Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Conn., "Regulator No. 19", walnut cased wall regulator made for the Santa Fe Railway System (signed on original 12" Montgomery dial), in walnut and walnut veneer case with burled accents, c.1890
CONDITION:
The case has lost its original finish and a thin coat of lacquer applied without stain, so the clock does appear light to the eye. The maintenance man at Santa Fe reinforced the top rear of the door with a metal bracket (very nicely done) to keep it from splitting [a common problem with this case]. The movement is clean and running. The original dial has had artists fixative applied, however the base surface and numerals are all original; only a couple of minor flakes and minor fading of some minute numerals. Complete with mercury pendulum [special shipping required], original thumb print glass jars, and with much of the original gilding still showing on the lower carriage of the pendulum. Ht 75"

DESCRIPTION:
Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Conn., "Regulator No. 16" wall clock, 8 days, time only, brass weight driven movement earlier version mounted on the standard No. 3 bracket with center sweep seconds in a walnut case with black walnut back panel and burled highlights and painted metal dial, c1884
CONDITION:
the case retains its original finish, nicely rubbed down. The upper left corner molding has a chip and indentation. The bottom three finials and finial block on center finial are replacements as well as the top finials. There is old green and yellow paint on the back. The pendulum is a period European replacement and is not the proper Seth Thomas type. The lock catch is absent and the dial has been repainted. This clock after fitting proper pendulum and replacing bottom finials would be an excellent example. Ht 75"

DESCRIPTION:
J.H. Gerry, New York, N.Y., in case provided by Seth Thomas Clock Co. as a variant of "Regulator No. 16" with 8 days, time only, weight driven movement in walnut case with J. H. Gerry patent gravity escapement, c1885
CONDITION:
this is generally good quality work, escapement changed and gravity arms added in the late 1800s to the square movement. This clock contains square form plates rather than the typical trapezoidal plates found in the standard Seth Thomas No. 16. The special glass dial signed "Gerry" shows small chips around the screw mounting holes, and some loss of paint. Note the clock runs reliably and with distinctive action of the gravity arms onto the brass keystone (pendulum hangs from the front of the movement) Also the keystone itself was replaced by the current owner, and not to the same standard as the balance of the work. A few screws have been replaced with heads that do not match. Still it is mechanically sound and will respond to additional refinement. Walnut case retains an old finish, with some losses (chip to top shell), but generally very good+ condition. Nickel reflector, weight, pulley and pendulum bob. Note also that this is one of the early "thin" cases, front to back. J.H. Gerry was an important figure in the development of the Self Winding Clock Co. Ht 76"
