Seth Thomas OFFICE No. 2 Wall Clock Antique Regulator circa 1860 Vintage Timepiec

This is one of the oldest domestic wall clocks, manufactured by the American company SETH THOMAS in the late 1860s to 1870s (early Meiji period in Japan). It is a large wall clock of the OFFICE No. THOMAS THOMASTON CT engraved below it. Originally based in Plymouth Hollow, Connecticut, the town was renamed “Thomaston” in 1865 in honor of the company’s founder. This clock was therefore manufactured sometime after 1865 and into the 1870s. The dial has a 12-inch approx. 30 cm diameter, giving it a bold and impressive presence. The clock strikes the hour on the hour, chiming the number of hours. Considering it’s approximately 150 years old, the condition is very good. It has been on display for five days and continues to run smoothly. The interior has been cleaned and greased. Both timekeeping and hourly striking functions are working properly. The pendulum swings continuously without stopping, and the clock keeps time accurately enough for daily use. Fine time adjustments can be made using the pendulum screw. Please note some signs of aging such as stains and scratches. See photos for details. Width: 42 cm approx. Height: 65 cm approx. Depth: 11 cm approx. Dial diameter: 30 cm (12 inches).
