Chelsea Ball Regulator "Click" to Login or Register

This is prehaps the scarcest of all Ball Regulators. Talking to my friend Jim Dyson who hosts the Chelsea Museum website, they only made a 121 of the mov'ts used in this clock and it is not known if all the mov't were used for Ball Regulators. This clock is very simular to a Seth Thomas Regulator Number 3. I only know of 2 other examples of this clock.

Very beautiful Jim, I've never seen one before.

In Rail-Road Timekeeping on page 65 there's a picture of the
similar looking Seth-Thomas Number 3 and I have attached it below.

Keep the great images and information coming Jim!

I have also provided here a picture of the "Ball Label" In Ball clocks the label is very important as it removes most of the doubt as to if the clock started life as a Ball Clock.

Here is another Chelsea regulator not often seen.
Regulator #3, serial number 36344, made circa 1908, sold by Daniel Pratts Son, 1914. All surfaces original. Dial signed Chelsea Clock Co. Boston. Fewer than 1000 movements of this type made which were used in both #3 and the super rare #5.

Does anyone have a octagon shaped (short drop) wall clock like in picture #55 in the Harrison Theatre on Ball watches and clocks. I would like to see a picture of what the original paper label behind the pendulum looks like. I know where one is, and it looks like it is an old clock, but I am not sure. It looks like the dial is a replacement, but it has the label in it. I don't have any of the Tran books. It is time only and appears to look like #55 in the slide show, but I want to make sure the label and clock is original first.
