C.1874, E. Howard and Co., Boston, "Regulator No. 22" 90 day duration, in excellent restored condition.
This is truly an impressive clock by every measure of horology, both in the pleasing lines of the case and in the quality of the movement. This clock spent most of its life in Southern California, and allegedly came out of the Southern Pacific offices; other than hearsay, we are unable to verify this, however someone in the Railway clubs may have more information. The 16 inch silvered dial has "astro" layout, with small individual hands for seconds and hours, and the large central hand for minutes. The 4-jar mercury pendulum assures the finest accuracy even with temperature changes. With Howardis finest movement running for 3 months on a winding. Woodtone is lighter than this foto reflects. The cousin to this clock stands outside the Georgia State Governoris office, and is pictured on the cover of NAWCC Bulletin, April 1999 (Vol 41/2, No.319). Another stands in the Board Room of Ford World Headquarters in Dearborn. Your attention is drawn to a related Howard Model No.25, with the same movement, yet in a simple closed case with no adornment, which sold at Sothebyis, New York, on June 19, 2002, lot 156, at a price of 95,600 dollars. Height 105 inches
