Seth Thomas Clock Co. "Regulator No. 17", ca 1884.

Seth Thomas Clock Co. "Regulator No. 17", ca 1884. The 8 day timepiece movement is their No. 62 movement, properly signed, has cut pinions, maintaining power, and beats seconds. The case is 68" high, beautifully polished and well maintained oak that is all original including the seven small finials and the bottom decorations, wood door knob, the wood dial board, and the two glasses. The dial was repainted with the 24 hour railroad motif, and is signed "Seth Thomas / Seventeen". We were told by the previous owner that the dial was an original railroad dial and in bad shape so he had it repainted like the original. The 14" dial looks spectacular and has three original hands. The brass bob, wood stick, brass weight, brass beat scale, and brass pulley all seem to be original to the clock. The case and movement are pictured in Ly-Seth Thomas, pages 298-299. In nice original condition we have seen this model sell for over $10,000.
