Description

Seth Thomas “Round Band”, 1863-1913. A 16.5-inch case with good rosewood veneer all around. This was a popular and long-lasting model for Seth Thomas, with it appearing in catalogs from the Civil War to World War 1. Both glasses are almost certainly original, with a well-preserved tablet. The dial is also likely original, with little flaking and correct period hands. The signed 30-hour time-and-strike movement is running and striking on a wire gong, while the alarm (untested) strikes on an iron bell. There is a complete label inside. AAC sold a similar example in 2023 for $100. $50–$100.
