Description

Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Parlor Calendar No. 4”, 1878. A 24-inch walnut case with an old/original finish and ebonized trim. There are some scattered chips and scratches; both glasses are likely original, as are the painted dials and hands. There is yellowing, chipping, and wear to the dials, with some poor touch-up to the calendar dial. The calendar roller papers are likely original. The Seth Thomas 8-day, time-and-strike movement is running and striking effortlessly, and the calendars are advancing. There is a dated instruction label on the back of the door and a ‘do not oil’ label inside. An uncommon model, very original and in excellent condition. AAC sold a slightly nicer example last year for $760. $500–$800.
