Catalog Description:

Mixed lot: C.1825 Seth Thomas case and dial now with a C.1835 Jerome brass bushed wooden movement with 42 tooth 'scape (see detail photo). As you know the spacing is wider on this movement, so the winding holes have been routed out a bit to allow winding, and the rear of the dial relieved. The old tablet looks to have been repainted in place some time ago and now flaking again. The case itself has been refinished to alight mahogany, and retains old scrolls and glue blocks (glue blocks for returns are missing). Retains a decent label (see Ken Roberts, page 109, absent Terry patent). The marriage was done by a competent workman, and the clock ticks and strikes, and certainly fills the bill for a "decorative" early American clock; Height 31 inches Reserve $1000
