Seth Thomas Regulator No. 2. Walnut cased wall clock. 219132.

The Seth Thomas Model Number 2 has always been a very popular clock. This model was first made in the 1860s and enjoyed a production run of over 100 years. Over this period, the Number 2 underwent a small number of design changes, including slightly redesigning the movement and base moldings. As a result, we are able to date many of these clocks within a range of 20 years. This fine example was made sometime around 1900. It was marketed as a small regulator for use in railroads, schools, fire departments, offices, etc. 

This case is constructed in walnut and and retains its original finish. The color is excellent. The weight-driven movement is good quality. It features well-finished rectangular-shaped plates, a Graham deadbeat escapement, and maintaining power. The movement is designed to beat eighty times per minute. The movement is secured to a large iron mounting bracket 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 original to this clock and is painted on tin. It measures approximately 12 inches across. It is in good condition. It does have several small areas that have been restored. It also shows a number of age lines on the surface. The lower door is fitted with glass. Through this, one can view the pendulum's side-to-side motion and the weight's lowering over a week. The Clockmaker’s label is located inside the case.
