Antique American Clocks
Seth Thomas "Albany", 1884.
A 20-inch City Series clock veneered in walnut with a beautiful
finish, original door glass with a stenciled image and framed by gold and black trim.
The dial has likely been repainted, as
there is no chipping or wear evident; the minute hand is a slightly incorrect replacement.
The signed Seth Thomas 8-day, time-and-strike
lyre movement is running weakly and will need attention, despite its shiny and clean appearance.
The strike on the cathedral
gong is rich and deep; there is a proper ST pendulum bob and a worn black label on the inside bottom.
The date of manufacture
is stamped on the back.
