Antique American Clocks
Seth Thomas "Parlor Calendar No. 10", 1885.
A most impressive shelf calendar, 36 inches tall
in burled walnut with a perfect finish.
The top piece appears to be an accurate replica, the only fault here.
both glasses are original, the dials repainted in the proper format, the hands correct.
The 8-day time-and-strike movement is
signed and running, striking on a cathedral gong; the calendar is advancing with authority.
The weights are correct.
clock leans backwards slightly but it is not a serious problem; there is some flexion where the case inserts into the base.
A good black and gold label on the door, the date of manufacture faintly stamped on the back.
Fontaine's sold a very similar
example in 2018 for $3250.
$3000-$5000.
