I would like to know more about this Seth Thomas if any one can help? I am pretty sure it is one of the big old regulators but I don't know for sure!

Richard show a photo of the escapement area of the gears. So someone might give you more info. The only thing I know is if it has a second hand it is a good one. Yours has a second hand at the center. Which would have to be newer. is it a second hand. And then Lindel has his model 2 with out a second hand. With out a second hand it is hard to get it dialed in to 10 seconds a week.

Richard, I don't have a picture but it looks like it might be a 67 (A?B?) Either are 8day, weight driven, sweep second hand, keystone plate, 42 1/4 in pendulum. Length 7 11/16, width 7 5/16, depth 5 5/16 From a no.16 or 19 regulator. Someone else may know better! Mike

I.m no expert but it sure looks like dead beat escapement. They where sure housed in a beautiful case both the #16 and #19. I would be proud to find a case and get this back together if I where you.

Oh Mr. Buffard, Eugene if only that were possible.
I only hope that I will be able to build this movement a worthy home! I would truly love to see this beautiful clock in action once again.Now if someone could give me the size of the weight and toss me a spare pendulum Eek
Thanks everyone for your help.
