Description

there is some flaking on the original dial; the gold on the tablet has been touched up, some touch up on Union Pacific and Seth Thomas on dial. Otherwise good original condition. Although this model was produced in quantity by Seth Thomas, one with original railway identification is rare. Note the Union Pacific instruction and maintenance label was pasted over the original Seth Thomas label, part of which is showing. Clock was cleaned in 1928 and 1945. Ht 23"
