Catalog Description:
C.1884, Seth Thomas OREGON, 8-day, time and strike on cathedral gong. Condition: this clock is in good original condition, with old cocobola finish intact. The top trim has been polished down and wiped over with shellac [grain is still closed]. Original painted dial with 3 or 4 flakes. Note the line drawing for this clock omits the two "ears" on this one, which is like one other we had, so we imagine the drawing was not updated after an early design change. One small chip on top right of marquetry trim; old split at top right of door. Retains original heavy pendulum with damascene pattern and full black label in case bottom that is barely readable. Overall good example. Height 19.5 inches
