This item is an old pendulum Regulator wall clock. They were widely used in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Here’s a breakdown of its history and potential value:
Regulator clocks were designed for high accuracy and were often used in public spaces such as train stations, schools, and offices. The term "Regulator" indicates that the clock was meant to "regulate" timekeeping standards.
Era:
Based on the appearance, this clock seems to date from the late 1800s to early 1900s. The Roman numerals on the dial and the ornate wooden frame with glass are consistent with the Victorian or early Edwardian periods.
Maker:
Many well-known manufacturers, such as Seth Thomas, Gilbert, or Waterbury, produced regulator clocks. Look for any labels, engravings, or markings on the back or interior of the clock for identification.
Value:& Condition:
The clock appears to have wear and discoloration, which affects the value. Restored versions are worth more, but collectors may still value the original patina so you have to be careful how you clean/restore it. If you’re unsure how to do so I would leave it as is for now.
Market Value:
Authentic antique regulator clocks in good working condition typically range from $200 to $800, depending on the maker and rarity. If heavily damaged or non-functional, the value may decrease to $50 to $150.
Restoration Potential:
If restored, this clock could increase significantly in value. If you can provide more informatio about the clock's manufacturer (please look on the back or within any of the accessible internal mechanisms) then I can refine this estimate further!
