Antique Seth Thomas Parlor No. 3 Double Dial Calendar Clock
Antique Seth Thomas Parlor No. 3 Double Dial Calendar Clock
SOLD $475.00 Sold: Apr 13, 2025 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
Antique Seth Thomas Parlor No. 3 Double Dial Calendar Clock in very nice condition. The movement looks like it was recently serviced, and even retains the original Geneva stops on the winding arbors. These are usually gone, removed by frustrated owners or clockmakers who can't figure how to set them. The case has very nice mahogany veneer, with no chips that I can see. The lower movement looks to have really nice rollers, possibly the papers are replaced. The dials both have minor paint loss, which could easily be touched up if you want. The clock runs, and the calendar changes. Of course, I can't guarantee running condition after shipping, I have not tried to adjust the clock to change at midnight, that would have to be done after shipping anyway. The clock has both the original label inside the door, and the "Don't oil any part of the calendar" label in the back. The case is stencilled on the back with the date of manufacture. 1916L. Normally the number is backwards with the letter standing for the month, in this case, December. Tis time, I'm not sure how to read the number. Maybe just 1916? maybe an expert will chime in. No reserve, no returns. Local pickup is preferred. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
