Catalog Description:

C.1902, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "Orchid No. 1" 15-day time and strike crystal regulator clock in very good original condition. The brass and glass case is in pretty nice condition with only minor scratches. The porcelain dial is perfect and the hands are original. The fancy embossed French style pendulum is very nice with a serial number that matches the number on the movement. The front beveled panel has a very tiny chip on the top left corner (difficult to see). The rest of the panels are fine. The movement is signed "R. Kaiser", who designed movements for Seth Thomas Sons and Co., and this movement is identical to ones seen in the "Sons" clocks, although it carries a small "ST" logo; this movement was meant to compete with French imports. Note front and rear doors have working turn latches. Height 10.25 inches
