| Catalog Description:
C.1909, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "Regulator No. 20", 8-day weight driven timepiece in cherry and in very good condition. The cherry case has a couple of nicks and scrapes but is quite nice; flats have been wire wooled and varnished; grooves and moldings retain original finish (looks fine). The original dial has a dozen or so small flakes, but is in remarkably good condition for Seth Thomas. The counter balanced hands, pendulum and weight are original; pend with some dings along the circumferance. Both glasses are old. The movement is a dead-beat escapement with maintaining power. For reference, see Ly's Seth Thomas book, page 136, fig 447 for the clock, and movement fig 449. Large and impressive; has been in storage; movement sound, could use some oiling before operation. Height 62 inches
