Catalog Description: C.1928, Seth Thomas Clock Co., “Cambridge”, 8-day time/strike pillar and scroll shelf clock. This clock is in very good original condition, except for some flaking of the Mt. Vernon tablet (someone has painted over the rear in an effort to stabilize it). Paint loss is in the area of the tree on the right of the house. The dial, hands, case and glasses are original. There are a couple of minor scuff marks on the base. The only other shortcoming for this clock are the two smaller finials. One of them must have suffered damage to the tip and the other was shortened to match. Almost anyone with a lathe could turn new tips to add to the finials; or enjoy as is. Height 25 inches
