Catalog Description: C.1863, Seth Thomas, Plymouth (label and movement), COTTAGE, mini one day time, restored (see Ly no. 968 in Seth Thomas book). This is a Civil War era clock and these OG bottoms are hard to find. This model might not please everyone, as it has been completely re-veneered, top to bottom, and there are some “waves” in the veneer. Any one who has tried veneering knows that it is a tough job. The dial has been professionally painted, and with new “S-T” hands. Retains a great Plymouth Hollow label. Just cleaned, running and ready to enjoy. Height 9 inches
