Antique American Clocks
Seth Thomas "Column Shell Large", ca. 1874.
A 32-inch case veneered in mahogany
and rosewood with barely a chip to be found.
I believe the two tablets are old repaints on old glass, well done, and have since
been touched up.
The dial glass is newer.
I expect the columns and gilding have also been redone, it's just in too good
of shape otherwise.
The metal dial is appropriate and has been overcoated with a yellowing varnish.
The hands are correct.
The weight-driven 8-day, time-and-strike lyre movement is stamped "Plymouth Hollow"; the well-preserved label is from Thomaston.
It is running and striking as expected.
Big and beautiful, a fine example of this popular model.
