Antique Seth Thomas Crystal Regulator Clock Empire No. 10 Striking Not Running

Antique Seth Thomas Crystal Regulator Clock. Striking When Manually Set, Not Running. Beautiful Gold Gilt Case. Would make a great gift for a special occasion or keep for yourself! What looks to be an orange/red color on the back of the movement and gong is not really there. Just a reflection off of what the photographer was wearing that day. This style clock does not come to the market very often. Made by Seth Thomas in the early 1900s. This is the Empire No. This clock probably dates to the early 1900s. The top and bottom pieces may have been re-gilded at some juncture. The corners of the actual case appear to have the original finish. They show some finish loss. The front and rear bezels are on hinges and attached to the clock case. Both doors are still secured well. The side glass pieces are still intact and beveled. There is no cracking or blistering of any of the beveled glass pieces. The gold colored lacquer finish on the clock shows some minor loss in places. Most notably on the top of the clock case. Nice porcelain face with an antique white background with black numbering. A hairline in the face at the 10 o’clock mark. The grommets are both in place. Some minor chipping around the right wind hole. The pendulum has two glass vials that hold lead ingots. One of the glass vials is broken, see pic. This is the model 48N movement as noted on the back plate. The clock will strike when the hands are advanced manually, but just keeps striking. The clock does not have a beat when set up the pendulum. Did oil the back pinions, but does not run. The movement is an 8 day movement. The strike and wind springs are wound tightly. He clock will come with a newer wind key. This is a time and gong wire strike clock. The clock stands 14-3/8″ tall, by 8″ across, by 7 wide. The clock face is 3.25″/3.75″ across. Let us know if you have any questions or need additional pictures. There is no representation that the clock is in original condition, or will continue to be in working order. The pictures provided both complement and supplement the listing description, so please look at them very closely as well. With old items, there is no way one can capture all the little imperfections in words, so the two media are meant to be the full description. If you have not had experience with old mechanical clocks before, I would suggest you steer clear. One really needs to have the patience, and skill to work with these great works of art. They are not our modern plug in and go, or change the battery clocks. Make sure that this clock meets your needs and requirements before deciding to acquire it. So, please carefully review all the attached pictures. Ask all the questions you have, come see in person or send a friend to see the item on your behalf, prior to deciding to acquire it.
