About the Seth Thomas “Garfield” Clock

Title: Seth Thomas “Garfield” Clock Model: A Collector’s Guide

The Seth Thomas “Garfield” Clock, introduced in the late 1980s, represents a unique fusion of antique craftsmanship and modern pop culture. This novelty clock is not a traditional mantel, wall, or regulator but rather a whimsical representation of the popular comic strip character Garfield by Jim Davis.

The “Garfield” Clock typically features a cast-iron case, capturing the essence of Seth Thomas’s commitment to quality materials and craftsmanship. The Garfield figure is often depicted sitting on a wooden ledge, with his characteristic round stomach and expressive face. The clock dial is usually surrounded by a decorative border that complements the overall design.

This model was produced during the late 20th century, making it a relatively recent addition to the Seth Thomas catalog. Despite its youth compared to other antique clocks, the “Garfield” Clock has become collectible due to its unique blend of art and humor, as well as its association with a beloved comic strip character.

Notable features of the Garfield Clock include the moving arms that mimic the cat’s movements when the clock strikes the hour or half-hour, adding an entertaining element to timekeeping. Additionally, some versions feature sound effects, such as Garfield growling or purring at specific times. These clocks are often sought after by collectors who appreciate both antique craftsmanship and popular culture references.

For antique clock enthusiasts with a soft spot for pop culture, the Seth Thomas “Garfield” Clock offers a delightful blend of tradition and humor. Its unique design, entertaining features, and association with a beloved comic strip character make it a collectible piece worth considering.

Antique Seth Thomas Garfield Clock

Jan 2020 – 35 Antique American Clocks Seth Thomas “Garfield”, 1886. “Stately” is barely sufficient to describe this clock, 30 inches high in mahogany, with an old finish. The top surface shows more wear, but all the finials are there. The Garfield came with nickel or brass trim and most collectors prefer the dial bezel, gong mount, pendulum bob and weights to match. the catalog description from 1883 notes that it came with “Brass weights and bell nickel plated”, so matching was not a manufacturer stipulation (See Ly, Seth Thomas Clocks & Movements , Vol. 2, page 727.) Here we have all brass trim and weights with a damascened nickel bob. The dial has an old coat of paint, possibly original, that is chipping in places; the hands are correct. door glass is wavy. The signed movement is correct to this model and is running and striking without issue. black label in the bottom. Horton’s sold one last July for $1275. $1200-$1600.

Antique Seth Thomas Garfield Clock

Jan 2020 – 100 Antique American Clocks Seth Thomas “Garfield”, ca. 1883. This classic, weight-driven shelf clock is 30 inches high, named after the second US president to be assassinated, in 1881. The case is walnut in an old if not original finish and with a nice amount of “patina”. The glass is original, the dial repainted long ago; the hands are original, as is the pendulum and bob. The dial trim, weights, and damascened pendulum bob are nickel-plated; the weights and bob could use a bit of polish and the weights do not match but I have been assured they are Seth Thomas issue (one hook has been changed). A decent label inside on the bottom, no date on the back of the case. The movement is correct to this model and is running but would benefit from service. Horton’s sold this clock in 2017 for $1525. $800-$1200. OVERVIEW PAGE

Seth Thomas Clock Co. rare and unusual mantle clock, “Garfield”, ca 1883.

ST made the Lincoln and Garfield models to commemorate the only two Presidents to be assassinated at that time. The case styles are slightly different, but behind the door the internal parts are near identical. We have sold 2-3 dozen of the Lincoln/Garfield clocks and I want to tell you the factory did not use the same equipment on every clock. Sometimes you may have brass weights, a nickel pendulum, brass dial rings, or vice versa. 125 years ago the companies were not hung up on making every clock the same. This clock is correct and all original except the original metal dial has been repainted and the case cleaned and polished. The Garfield is 29″ high, made of walnut, and has a damascened pendulum, correct weights, hands, and all other accessories. The movement is 8 day, running, and striking on the heavy duty Cathedral gong. Ly-Seth Thomas, pages 726-727.

Seth Thomas “Lincoln VP”, ca 1886. Made in walnut and ebony, which was very poplar in the late 1800’s.

I see many Lincoln’s where the ebony was removed or an attempt was made to remove. You can always tell. It is our experience the collectors would rather have an original case, no matter the wood. This model uses the heavy trapezoid 8-day movement that is running, striking hours on a patented cathedral gong that has a deep resonating sound. They are always weight driven and came with nickel or brass accessories; this one has brass. Note the weights are slightly different size. I have seen two or three dozen of this model and half had weights slightly different size. This original case is 27 inches high, dial flaking slightly, has a beat scale.

Seth Thomas mantle clock, “Lincoln, V.P.”, C. 1883.

A factory stamp on the back indicates the clock was made 1883. Good walnut case is 27″ high. This clock should not need anything except to clean off many years of grime with a mild cleaner, feed the wood, and clean and oil the movement. It has been in storage for many years. Not only is this a large and well made clock, but only the best was used by ST inside. 8 day trapezoid movement strikes hours on a Cathedral Bell. All the accessories are matching, brass weights, pulleys, pendulum bob, gong base, beat scale, and dial ring. Other than the small things mentioned the stick has been broken and repaired. The old dial is really nice for a ST dial this old. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 275.
