Description
The black and green adamantine case on this clock is in almost perfect condition with just a little roughness on the back edge of the case. The original paper dial is very nice with just a minor stain. The hands are original. The neat thing about this clock is it has an original shipping container. This original wooden box is marked on both sides with the Seth Thomas name. The wooden box was assembled with tongue and groove boards. There are remains of a label on the side of the box that may have described the contents or was a shipping label. It is very unusual to find an original shipping container and to see how it was made. The clock companies must have consumed a huge quantity of wood just to make the shipping crates. The top to the shipping box is probably not original as the holes do not line up and the lid would probably have been nailed shut and not have used screws. Height 11.5 inches
