Antique American Clocks
Seth Thomas "Hecla", 1884.
One of Seth Thomas's finest shelf clocks with a quarter-hour
strike on two nested bells behind the gong.
The 22.5-inch case is oak with a clean, old finish; I see no damage.
glass is likely original, the dial is paper with proper hands.
The 8-day, time, strike, and chime movement is signed and running,
but the strike and chime trains are very sticky and will need attention.
The pendulum bob is damascened nickel.
is a dark label inside on the bottom.
AAC sold one last summer for $1350 and Cottone's sold one last year for $1300.
$800-$1200.
