Antique American Clocks
Southern Calendar Clock Co. "Fashion No. 3", ca. 1880.
The first model to use a full-glass
door with "Fashion" on the glass in gilt lettering, and the first to include a seconds bit on the time dial.
The solid walnut
case is 27.5-inches tall (32 inches with the finial) with a clean and slightly dulled finish on the base.
The door glass is
old and the lettering correct; both dials have been repainted and the time dial has been touched up as well.
The back of the
zinc calendar dial is flaking badly.
The seconds hand is a replacement, the other hands correct.
The 8-day time-and-strike
movement was made by Seth Thomas for the SCCC, as imprinted on the front of the movement.
It is very reluctant to run and will
need a cleaning, as it has probably sat for years.
Note the nickel star pendulum bob with the leaf ornamentation on top, correct
for this model.
It strikes on a large brass bell.
The calendar weekday roller is advancing but the date hand is not and
will need attention.
There is a large dark blue and gold label inside that may be a replica, and a white label behind the calendar.
Horton's sold one in 2017 for $1350 but prices have come down since then.
$900-$1200.
