Antique American Clocks
Seth Thomas column & splat, ca. 1835.
A 29.5-inch (short drop, 42T escape wheel) 30-hour
wooden works clock.
The mahogany veneer is complete, the columns and splat repainted and re-bronzed.
Both glasses are
original, the tablet having lost most of its eglomise painting.
The dial shows some peculiar wear between the 5 and 6 and in
the middle.
There are new paw feet in front, turned feet in back; the chimney caps are a bit nicked up.
Very nice label
The wooden movement looks ok but I can't wind the time side and the strike side doesn't want to strike; I can't advance
Like the previous clock, this one has been stored for some time and a little attention is probably all that is needed.
The hands are correct but the hour hand has been repaired.
Two old 30-hour weights.
This style clock has been selling
for $250-$400 when in decent shape.
