Original Listing Description

SETH THOMAS UTICA City Series SHELF CLOCK Time/Strike & Alarm Walnut Case RARE Another recent estate sale acquisition offered here is a c.1880's Seth Thomas UTICA with a walnut case. This rare clock was part of the city series produced by Seth Thomas. The clock also has what appears to be the original tablet which features a gilded pattern with herons (?). The dial pan appears to be the original nickel plated but I believe the dial has a paper replacement. The original dial is probably underneath but I have not tried to remove the paper to verify this. There is a label in the bottom of the clock but not very legible.Very nice lyre shaped 8 day marked Seth Thomas movement marked with a date of 1875. Strikes the hour only. I have had the clock running and striking the hour only (on a cathedral gong) but it will definately need to be cleaned and oiled. Very nice shiny damascened bob consistant with the city series clocks. The key may not be original but it is double ended for winding the movement/strike and the alarm.Clock measures 22-1/4” tall x 13” wide X 5-1/4” deep. The case has wear associated with a clock of this age but displays very well. Has the original button push to release the door.A very delightful and rare clock, sure to add to your collection. My pricing may seem outrageous but there just aren’t that many of these out there for comparison. Don’t hesitate to make me an offer. I do want to sell the clock.Shipping cost reflects secure packing with materials and size (purchase) of appropriate boxes. If cost is less the amount will be refunded to you.
