Description

Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Office No. 6”, ca. 1913. This rather plain (ie., office-style) clock is 36 inches long with a “Mahogany finish”, which I think means it was another hardwood, possibly cherry, with a mahogany stain. At least that’s the way it looks here. I suspect that the crest is a replacement, but it matches the catalog illustration (Ly, Seth Thomas Clocks & Movements, Vol. 1, page 335). The two door glasses are modern, with “Regulator” in gold lettering on the bottom glass – a bit of artistic license, as the catalog does not show that lettering. The faded painted dial looks to be original, with the ST logo. The hands are Seth Thomas. The 8-day, time-only spring-driven movement is signed and running without issue, regulated by a proper ST pendulum stick and bob. A beat scale at the bottom, but no label. AAC sold a similar example in 2021 for $250. $200–$400.
