Description

Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Office Calendar No. 3”, ca. 1863. The “Peanut” was an early wall calendar from Seth Thomas, only 23 inches from tip to tip, with a 6-inch time dial and an 8-inch calendar dial. This model uses a round, double-wind, time-only movement that runs for 8 days, and was used only in this model. The rosewood veneer is complete with a clean finish. Both glasses look to be original, the contoured metal dials have been repainted, with proper hands. The round 8-day, double-wind movement is unsigned, runs for a while, but not overnight; the calendar hand and weekday roller is advancing smoothly and as expected. Always a highly desirable model. AAC sold one last summer for $2223. $1500–$2000.
