[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 98963, member: 25"]No one is likely to be collecting these by model, just call it a Seth Thomas crystal regulator. The pendulum looks like a mock mercury one, just painted inside the glass, but it's very easy to tell, tilt it and see if the 'mercury' moves. These US made four glass clocks were about half the price or less of the French equivalents at the time so they were far more common than French examples in America. It is a mantel clock, not a clock designed to be worn around the shoulders like a mantle. It dates from around 1900.[/QUOTE]
