Catalog Description: Seth Thomas City Series clock, the “Dallas”, C. 1885. This was one of the company’s early parlor clocks they named for western towns rather than eastern. This one plus the Austin and Carson were in small cases, using great wood selections, and they jazzed them up by using some metal on the front, plus a porcelain dial, a heavier brass bezel, beveled glass, and a different movement than the other City Series clocks. This 8 day movement is No. 5 1/2, outside count wheel, half hour bell strike on top of the movement, standing gong below. There is a great black full label inside and a factory stamp on the door, “5881A”, meaning the clock was made January 1885. This case is walnut, burl used on the front, stands only 13″ high. There are light hairlines in the porcelain dial; original glass needs to be fitted back into the bezel. Beyond my expertise. These 3 little clocks have always been difficult for the collectors to find. Ly-Seth Thomas #192.

Catalog Description: C.1922, Seth Thomas “DOUBLE DIAL”, with wall bracket in oak and in generally fair original condition. This clock stood out on an open porch and has gotten wet and the joints are all a bit loose. The dials both bear the name of the company that ordered the clock from ST: Lockwood & Almquist, Inc, New York. The pendulum has lost its brass cover, but the lead insert is intact. The movement itself appears complete, but will need service. This clock displays the same time in both directions, using large double spring movement #86, and was commonly used in the New York Public School System. Height 30 inches

Catalog Description: Seth Thomas, hanging “Eclipse”, or balltop, as most collectors calls them. No one has given a logical explanation as to why Seth Thomas made the shelf and wall balltop’s. One picture of a shelf model is buried in the back of Tran Duy Ly’s Seth Thomas book in the “Movement Description” section. We have seen hundreds so we know they were a production clock. Several different movements were used in the balltop’s, this one has the large 8 day Lyre movement, No. 5 7/8, with Geneva stops still intact. It is time, strike on a large brass Cathedral gong, and alarms on a brass bell. Other brass accessories are the pendulum, hanger, dial rings, alarm set ring, beat scale, and all the hinges, latches, and hooks. The 27″ walnut case is all original, never cleaned. There is a good label inside. Ly-Seth Thomas, Page 479.
