E. Howard & Co., Boston, Mass., "Regulator No. 57", jeweler's regulator wall clock, the walnut and burl walnut case with bold quarter columns, having turned and carved capitals and turned bases, flanking the burl veneer trunk door with reverse painted and gilt presentation, "THE GREEN SHOE MFG. CO. (INC.) NOV. 24, 1924. BY THE EMPLOYEES", over a burl veneered, stepped, tapered bottom bracket, upper door with raised wooden spandrels enframing the dial, over a nicely detailed carved molding above trunk door, and fan carved, broken arch top, Roman numeral painted dial signed "E. HOWARD & CO. BOSTON", 8 day, time only, weight driven movement with maintaining power and large brass, decorated bob and gold leafed pendulum rod, with cylindrical weight. this clock is in almost untouched original condition. The case retains its original finish with some abrasions and scuffs at corners and one small repair to upper right corner. The center finial and half round plinth are absent and the pendulum rod and the weight hook have been repaired. Joel Warren of ithacacalendarclocks.com has a pattern for this finial, can faithfully reproduce this missing finial and is willing to do so for the future owner. The dial with original paint and hands has minor flaking around the four mounting screws. The only other example of a No. 57 Regulator coming to auction in the past was sold in August 2016 at Thomaston Galleries in Thomaston, Maine, for $41,000 plus buyer's premium and was missing it's weight and bottom bracket.
