Antique American Clocks
Seth Thomas 30-hour Looking Glass, ca. 1830.
A Seth Thomas version of the Looking Glass
clock, 35 inches tall with a full-length door that opens on the right.
There is an escutcheon on the right side (but no key).
The half-columns show the original bronzing under an alligatored finish, as does the splat.
The mahogany veneer is good all
The upper glass is original with the original putty, the mirror has been replaced.
The wood dial is quite yellowed,
perhaps due to a varnish of some sort?
The hour hand is correct, the minute hand not so much.
I hung the weights but the
32T long-drop wood movement would not run; it would strike.
Old iron bell and a good label, and a couple of old unmatched 30-hour
Horton's typically sold these for about $150 of late.
