C.1880, E. Howard and Co., "No. 60 Regulator", wall clock

C.1880, E. Howard and Co., "No. 60 Regulator", wall clock in black walnut and in very good to excellent original condition. This is a clock for any Howard collector to be proud of. It has been in storage for several years and we unloaded it from a large wooden crate here at the house (the crate is included, but will not be at the auction hall). There are some shortcomings that need mentioning; the dial had been rubbed for years with a polishing cloth and virtually all of the silvering is gone and it is a brownish color (resilvering will correct this). The clock retains the original, numbered 4-steel jar pendulum, and one of the jars has a hairline stress crack and is seeping; we have a piece of mylar tape over this, which is only a temporary solution. Finally, at some point the top crosspiece of the door got broken off, and it has been carefully glued on, but the 2 glue joints do show. The original finish is overall excellent and all carvings and finials are intact. Original weight, pulleys, hands intact. Height 80 inches
