Antique American Clocks
Seth Thomas Sons & Co. "No. 5002", ca. 1872.
This 9-inch clock (with dome) is more commonly
known as a candlestand clock.
The base here is a replacement and the dome on this clock is cracked and taped together; it is
not the original dome and is a bit too short.
The gold rings on the candlestick are discolored.
The signed porcelain
dial is perfect and the hands are correct.
The clock is running easily but the hour/half-hour strike is sticky.
feels like the strike spring may be disconnected or broken.
This is a 15-day movement and is signed on the back.
sold one in July 2018 for $1275 but it was in near-perfect condition.
Although sales of this model are scarce, I'd look for
$150-$300 for this example.
