Description
Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Cincinnati”, ca. 1880. Easily recognizable, but the design on the columns changed over the years for this City Series clock; I cannot find another example on LiveAuctioneers with columns as are found here. The clock stands 16 inches tall with clean mahogany veneer and ebonized trim, including the columns. Both glasses are likely original, with the original tablet in good condition but probably rebacked. The contoured dial was repainted, the hands are Seth Thomas with a repaired minute hand. The 8-day, time-and-strike signed movement is running and striking on a wire gong. There is an alarm hooked up but untested, and a good label inside. A better-than-average example. $100–$200.
