Catalog Description: C.1890, Seth Thomas “BALL TOP” Eclipse style walnut gingerbread, 8-day, time, strike and alarm. Condition: this case has been refinished; the original dial is flaking and discolored, just at the point you need to restore it to appreciate the clock more.

Catalog Description: Seth Thomas rare quarter striking mantle clock, “Atlas”, ca 1884, as indicated by the factory manufacturing stamp on the backboard. Made of carefully selected walnut wood, the clock is 22.5 inches high, three quarter turned columns on the front and quarter columns on the back. The columns were turned showing grooves and various thicknesses. The case is highly polished and looks like a parlor clock should. Nickel plated Seth Thomas bob, beveled and etched like only they could. Matching nickel pendulum hanger, gong base, hinges, and dial rings. Over half of the old black label remains on the base, brass beat scale, and brass strike hammers. An outstanding glass with gold design, original painted zinc dial is about as good as you could hope for in a clock this old, and particularly a Seth Thomas dial, as they always lose their paint early. Some crusty finish remains but for the most part, it has been well maintained with regular cleaning and polishing. We just do not get these quarter hour strikers (Atlas and Hecla) that are any better than this. I would think the new Ly- Seth Thomas books due out in late 1994 will value this clock upwards of $2500. Ly-Seth Thomas (1996 Book) page276.

Catalog Description: Seth Thomas City Series clock, the “Athens”, ca 1886. The 17 inches high walnut case doesn’t look like it has ever been touched, it is very dark, has crazed paint, and that presents another challenge for a refinisher. It would be a might fine case if cleaned because the nickel accessories, and probably the best, original dial, I have ever seen on a City Series clock would set this clock off perfectly. Usually the dials have been repainted by now, or should be. The Seth Thomas “Star” pendulum, on this clock, only came with the No.3 Fashion, the Nashville, and New Orleans. This is their one day model made back in the days when there was nothing else to do after dark but wind your clocks. Ly-Seth Thomas #166.

Catalog Description: Seth Thomas “Athens”, C. 1886, an early City Series clock. This is a rather plain walnut case, all original finish, would improve greatly with a cleaning, stands 17″ high. Everything is original, dial with just a little flaking problem, good black label in the base, good nickel pendulum with ST embossed in the center, nickel bell on which the alarm strikes as well as the hourly strike. There is a brass dial ring as well as a brass alarm ring in the center of the dial. The only shortcoming of the clock is a piece of molding is missing above the glass, inside the door. Minimum price is reflecting the expense to repair. Ly-Seth Thomas #166.
