If you think that Seth Thomas round bob that finished at over $900.00 was something watch this ebay item 2191362831 a two jar thumb print mercury pendulum for the same clocks. JACK

This one is now over 1,100 with 3 days to go. Check out the pictures of the Seth Thomas 19 in this section to see examples of this pendulum on Bill's fabulous clock.

If you study the mercury pendulum closely you will find it is not from a Seth 19 regulator but from an electric master clock. The rating nut is smaller and different. The Seth 19 pendulum has a graduated series of lines around the rating nut with a small clock hand to line up with the graduation lines. The big difference is the upper holder on the frame to hold the jars--this one is a 3 piece set up while the seth 19 holder is one piece. The final difference is the caps and the bottom jar holders have a taper on the outside while the 19 pendulum parts are straight. The upper hanger on the 19 pendulum is also different.

Here is a picture of the bob that Bill has, and I mistakenly thought was like the one in the auction.

The seller has relisted the mercury pendulum... EBay Page

I contacted the seller and sent the information that his pendulum is most likely NOT a Seth Thomas. Seller has revised listing to reflect that information.
