Description

Another of the early models when Seth was making very nice parlor clocks, not kitchen clocks, like everyone began making in the late 1800's. This walnut case is 22 1/2 inches, with a lot of unusual carvings, top to bottom. Note the acorns on the lower finials. Original finish, case is complete. It sat too close to a lantern or fireplace at some time, 2 of the 4 finials are slightly scorched, bottom left the worse. Some sanding and staining should put it right again. 8 day, striking a cathedral bell, running strong. Nickel accessories, bob, gong base, dial ring. Original black label on the base. This model is very poplar with the City Series collectors. Ly-Seth Thomas No.175.
