Antique American Clocks
Seth Thomas "Gingerbread", ca. 1880.
A 28-inch oak-veneered kitchen wall clock, one of only a few
from Seth Thomas.
This one has a thermometer (bulb is broken) at the top and a level at the bottom (working).
is chipping off in places and is covered darkly with varnish, with some crackling.
The glass is old, the signed paper dial is
very yellowed.
The signed 8-day, time-and-strike movement is running; the hour/half-hour strike will strike the brass bell but
requires assistance.
There is also an alarm, untested, a white ST label on the inside bottom, and an ST pendulum bob.
