I just acquired this Seth Thomas regulator No.1. The 2
caps which go on top of the columns on the front door were missing. The original
outlines are still on the door. (left picture). I was lucky enough to
obtain pictures from an identical clock from Scott Cottone who had an identical
clock in his recent auction. (right picture). I noticed that the
molding above the door on my clock had the flat ledge on top, and the ogee curve
on the bottom. There is no evidence of this piece ever being removed and the
original nails are still in the bottom attaching it to the piece that fits under
the dial. The picture from Scotts auction clock shows this ledge piece with the
flat on the bottom and the ogee curve on the top. I can't locate a
picture from any of the books, or original catalog reprints, of this clock
showing the original look. Which one is correct ?
Also,
I desperately need the hardware for this clock. 2 door hinges, 2 bezel hinges,
door lock and hands. If anyone has a junker, (No. 1 or No. 2) I would
really appreciate the help.
