Catalog Description:
Seth Thomas City Series clock, the "Reno", ca 1887, and so stamped on the case back at the factory. This is another of their earlier City Series models, when design and quality were very important. In a short time the oak kitchen clocks would dominate the shelf clock market. This excellent walnut case is 19.5 inches high, good label inside, good glass, outstanding nickel bob, Cathedral gong, and a brass bell for the alarm. 8 day movement is running, but like all of this collection should be oiled. The "only" negative thing about this clock is the new paper dial. Spend a few dollars and get it painted. Ly-Seth Thomas #224..
