same case as Boston Clock Co. Lockwood was a prosperous dealer for Boston Clock Co, Fairhaven, and Chelsea, buying clocks from all 3 in succession, as well as some from Bates (who bought the BCC/Eastman real estate in 1896, including inventory, and sold it to Parsons in 1897). The movement is typical of ones designed by Joseph Eastman for use in regulators made by Eastman, Boston Clock and Fairhaven, The case is a typical of what Boston Clock produced as their No. 1 Regulator, and with a fancy damascened pendulum bob. The bezel has two vertical dry splits; weight baffle has been replaced. Original dial is just starting to flake. The number 725 appears on the suspension block and on the front plate. Wheel work is quality 5 spoke design. No signature appears on the movement, nor has one been removed. A very interesting late 19th century clock. Height 36 inches
