Antique American Clocks
Seth Thomas "Office Calendar No. 6", 1891.
A 32-inch mahogany (or walnut with a dark stain)
This is the successor to the Office Calendar No. 4, a bit larger with a larger calendar dial; the calendar mechanism was
upgraded to the R.T. Andrews patent movement (1876), and a strike was available (as found here).
The bezels were made from solid
wood without veneer and a nickel trim ring was added.
Buttons were still included, and on this example the two buttons above
the calendar dial are improper replacements, the only flaw I can find here.
The glass over the time dial is old, the calendar
glass modern, and both dials have been repainted, the hands are correct.
The 8-day time-and-strike spring-driven movement is
signed and running, striking the hours on a wire gong, and the calendar is advancing.
The rollers are rather dark and probably
There is a large replacement hook to hold the door shut; a smaller hook probably would have been sufficient.
Nonetheless, a nice example.
Horton's sold two in 2018, one for $461 and one for $885 (wow!).
