Antique American Clocks
Seth Thomas "Drop Octagon 12 Inch", ca. 1879.
The 23.5-inch case is mahogany with the original 12-inch
painted metal dial (note the logo above the mainstem) and hands.
Both glasses appear to be original.
The 8-day, time-and-strike
movement is reluctant to run and the strike is stuck.
There is a wire gong and the remains of a black label inside.
dial has been touched up and the paint no longer matches, and there are more chips.
Lotta room for improvement here.
