Antique American Clocks
Seth Thomas "Arch Top", ca. 1880.
A 15.5-inch shelf clock with a beautiful mahogany or walnut veneer,
with much of the veneer on the front showing a burled or flame mahogany grain pattern.
These iconic clocks sold for over $600
twenty years ago.
The dial glass is old and the contoured metal dial holds very old if not the original paint; it has been touched
The 8-day time-and-strike movement is signed and running, striking on a wire gong.
There is also an alarm, not tested.
There is a good Thomaston label inside.
These clocks are lucky to bring $150-$250 today.
