Antique American Clocks
Seth Thomas "Parlor Calendar No. 5", ca. 1890.
A 20-inch walnut case with a light stain and a smooth,
clear finish that is likely original; the base and the dial board have a darker finish that contrasts nicely.
Both dial glasses
are likely original, as are the dials, which have been varnished and show little flaking.
The hands are correct.
time-and-strike movement is signed and running, striking on a brass bell.
The weekday roller is advancing but the calendar date
needs adjustment.
Horton's sold this model in 2018 for $300; Fontaine's sold one that same year for $350.
