FULLY AND PROPERLY RESTORED SETH THOMAS CRYSTAL REGULATOR EMPIRE No. 60 EXTRA

  

FULLY AND PROPERLY RESTORED SETH THOMAS CRYSTAL REGULATOR EMPIRE No. Offered for sale is a very nice Seth Thomas Empire No.

The clock has the convex front door and glass, fancy porcelain face, the dull gilt gold finish and beveled glass in the front, back and side panels. The face is in near perfect condition and the clock has the original hands. Both the front and back doors close nicely and the movement, a Seth Thomas model 48, has been completely restored using the proper horological methods. The clock can be found in Lys Seth Thomas book, volume 1, on page 256. The gilt finish, an applied gold bearing solution, gives the clock the dull brass look and was an option for the clock.

The gilt finish is in decent condition and shows some discoloration that is consistent with an item that is 113 years old. I ask you to please examine the 10 high resolution pictures carefully as they provide much of the description for this fine timepiece. Case dimensions are 6.75 inches wide, 10.875 inches high and 5.25 inches deep. Clock comes complete with the original faux mercury pendulum and the original winding key. WHAT MAKES A CLOCK A GOOD VALUE?

The rules of economics are fairly straightforward. Simply put, it is almost impossible to spend a little and get a lot. Antique and vintage clocks follow these rules as well. I have tried through the photos to show the basic steps that I do in restoring these wonderful machines to their original state. My goal is to provide you with a quality time piece that will provide enjoyment and be a source of pride in your home for years to come. Equally important to me is to provide you with a clock that I believe will retain its value over the years. That is what I think constitutes real value in antique and vintage clocks. MY PHILOSOPHY ON CLOCKS AND CLOCK MOVEMENTS. The only way to properly repair a movement is to completely disassemble, clean and inspect all parts, and make the needed repairs by proper horological methods. This includes the rebushing of all worn holes and the polishing of any rough pivots. The movements are then reassembled, lubricated with a high-quality clock oil and test run for 8 days. This is a very time intensive process but is the only correct way to properly recondition a clock movement. You should expect a movement repaired in this manner to run for ten years trouble-free. I have been doing clock repair for over 39 years. I apprenticed under an Oregon State licensed repairman and have been a member of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (NAWCC) since 1981. I do not make a living doing this; it has become a passion of mine. Once they are made like new mechanically, I put them up for sale in the hopes of paying for my materials and upgrading my personal collection. My hope is also to provide you with an heirloom to cherish for years to come. Read my feedback and you can see that I live by these words. I also provide a set of General Clock Instructions that will answer about 95% of the questions that may arise during the setup of the clock.
