  • Antique Seth Thomas “Cincinnati” Model Clock

    Antique Seth Thomas

    Catalog Description: C.1875, Seth Thomas Clock Co., “Cincinnati”, 8-day time/strike rosewood and mahogany veneer shelf clock in generally good condition with an original finish (early version). This was one of the city series offered by Seth Thomas. The only veneer damage is on the base where some small pieces are missing. The ebonized areas of the case will need some touchup to hide scraps and dings. The original painted dial is very nice with some minor loss around the mounting screws and one small chip on the side. The tablet and hands are original. Both finials have lost their tips and been filed smooth. The label inside is very clean. Height 14 inches
