Seth Thomas Regulator No. 2 Wall Clock. VV-38.

This is a very popular clock. The Number 2 model was first made in the 1860s. This fine example was made circa 1910 and was marketed as a small regulator for use in Railroads, Schools, Fire Departments, Offices, etc. 

This case is constructed in oak and retains an older finish. The weight-driven movement is good quality. It features well-finished brass plates that are that are shaped like a trapezoid, a Graham deadbeat escapement, and maintaining power. It is designed to beat eighty times per minute. The front plate is die-stamped with the Maker’s trademark and “77A.” The movement is secured to a large iron mounting bracket, which is attached to the backboard. This mounting bracket also supports the pendulum. The pendulum is constructed with a wood rod and a brass-covered zinc bob. This clock is designed to run for eight days on a full wind. The dial is painted on tin and measures 12 inches across. This is the clock's original dial, and as a result, it has some minor areas of wear. The lower door is fitted with glass. Through this, one can view the side-to-side motion of the brass pendulum bob and the descending of the brass-covered lead weight over a week's time. 

This fine example was made circa 1920. It is inventory number VV-38.

Inventory number YY-41.
