I am attaching pics of a New Haven 8 Day Bank Regulator Clock. Does anyone know any information, history, value, rarity? Question-The back says time peice calendar. I have seen pictures of this clock and it does have calendar on clock. Did they make this with just time? Is this original or replaced. I do not have pics of the inside. Expertice appreciated, thanks!

Hi Mark:
I have no idea, but it will be interesting to see what Tran shows for this clock. I don't have his book
I would assume that this clock once held a calendar movement unless they put the same label on both calendar and non-calendar models; however that would not seem likely.... If so, that would mean a replacement dial.... Maybe an overlay dial on original pan?? Not a bad looking clock

According to Tran's New Haven book the "Bank" was available in time only, time and strike, and calendar. Listed as being 1911, solid oak, the time only was $7.25, time and strike was $8.75, and the calendar was .45 extra

Tran's 2000 price guide puts it at $475. However, the one pictured did not have the calendar option.
Yours is like the one pictured in the book.

You guys are great. Thanks for the posts.

Last question. Is this clock rare/valuable? The price indicated seems like it might be valuable or high for a regulator clock. Is this price the range for a regulator clock? Is it worth buying for $200? Advice appreciated, thanks.

Sounds okay to me, Buy it for $200 and if you don't like it, I will by it for the $200.

For $200 I wouldn't think twice. Not if 1) It's original and 2) It has the label.

You must remember this is not a true "regulator" clock. For a clock to be a true regulator it must be weight driven and have a seconds bit and most if not all have maintaining power. These schoolhouse type clocks are quit common.

Here is a Seth Thomas #2 Regulator

Ture, but for $200, I think it is still a good deal.
Gary, is a spring driven clock with a deadbeat considered a regulator? For example the 15 day World with the seconds bit? Or is it only weight driven? I assume that weight driven are more consistent due to the consistancy of the weight pull?
Best regards,

I think $200 for that clock is not a bad price with perk of the label too. True regulators must be weight driven.
