SOLD $849.49 Sold: Dec 20, 2024 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
** Added photos of the inside and the pendulum *** Beautiful clock made by the Seth Thomas Clock Company in Thomaston, Connecticut. This company made not only residential clocks, but commercial clocks, too. Some were made for banks, railroad stations, fire departments, hotels and schools. The inside is marked ST and 86AE.This model was popular in train stations and bank lobbies, sometimes referred to as Gallery Clocks. This clock was listed in a 1922 catalog. This is 14 inches in diameter lovely extra raised numerals and minute points on it. Numerals and minutes look like a combination of bronze and brass. It has a beautiful marble dial and the brass raised numerals makes it really unusual. It also has two winding arbors, spring driven, probably to run almost 15 days at a time. Housing is a wooden back and height is 4.5 inches. Dials spin well and it is missing the Seth Thomas brass raised logo that would have been below near the arbors. There are hand-written notes on the back of the clock being serviced in 1941 and 1953, and also on the inside there is a note that it was rehauled and other service dates. Purchased from an estate in Missouri, the family noted it used to be in the lobby of a Farm and Home Savings building but not sure of the location. It was running when removed from the home, but doesn't have a key. Pendulum swings and move well from the below door panel. Inside reveals it is brass and wood and swings well. This clock does have wear, it has some pits and some light chips on the edges as shown. Also some marble yellowing on a few of the areas as shown, please review photos carefully for full condition. Weight is approximately 22 pounds, nice and heavy. We will package it well as we always do for safe delivery. We usually do auctions on our items but this clock we will consider offers! Enjoy! (Condition: Pre-Owned)
