Catalog Description:

Seth Thomas Clock Co. short drop, school house clock, or as the catalogs call it, the "12 Inch Drop Octagon", ca 1909. It has an 8 day, time only, movement, and is running. 75% of the label is intact inside the case. Pendulum bob has been replaced. I wonder how many clocks have the original pendulum? The paper dial is new.The 23 1/2 inch old oak case has a coat of varnish or brown paint on it which sure didn't improve its looks. The case is solid, very serviceable, and could make someone a fine first clock. It is probably as good as my first clock. Ly-Seth Thomas No.505.
