Description
with some veneer losses and some restoration. Typical of Seth Thomas production, the case is veneered in rosewood, but there is extensive chipping on the top cornice, plus a little on the calendar bezel and along the bottom edge of the base. The dials are now paper, drawn by a graphic artist maybe 50 years ago and carefully pasted over the original pans; for freehand they are quite nice. The rollers are original paper, slightly tanned and very good. The time and strike movement is clean and running and all 3 hands are original. Note the complete direction label inside door indicates this clock was produced in May of 1875, by Seth Thomas, and the first year of the ST-Southern contract. Height 29 inches
