Catalog Description: Seth Thomas “Rosewood-Shell Column”, ca 1863. Very early Plymouth Hollow label, clock is complete and almost perfect. Great glass has been rebacked, original shell columns with gold capitals and bases. 25 inch case has a very small amount of veneer repair, a couple of tiny corner nicks.

This is a rosewood model, with some veneer repairs, and has been attractively refinished. The original faux shell columns show some wear, and there are some veneer chips on the base. The two beautiful tablets have been professionally restored (+ fresh black on rear). The cornice has had some veneer replaced on both the ogive and the straights. Main detraction is a dial that has been touched up with a black brush too wide. Has a very clean label, including full operating instructions, plus an attest that it was bought new in January 1867.

Catalog Description: C.1860, Seth Thomas Clock Co., Plymouth Hollow, Conn., “Shell Column” 8-day shelf clock, in generally fair condition, with restorations. This clock’s case has very good grain painted columns and over painted gilt capitals and bases (although the columns are upside down). The lower door has a very nice original reverse tablet with parrots (some background is lifting and flaking). The dial and hands are proper style, but new. The movement is an early brass Seth Thomas 8-day lyre plate movement, but 10 to 20 years older than this case. The later cornice top is not correct and needs to be re-done. There has been considerable re-veneering on the case, but it has been done well and mainly needs finish. Label legible, with some losses. Height 32″ $350-$450

Catalog Description: Seth Thomas mantle clock, “Sharp Gothic”, ca 1902. Walnut veneered case is 19.5″ high and in “almost” perfect condition. The veneer, particularly on the front has a burl look, the grain going ever which way. Note that one finial tip has taken a hike, and there is one veneer nick on the base, right rear. Wonderful waterfowl glass has been rebacked with black paint, looks good, and should hold the pretty scene. The old original dial has had a heap of paint touchup, all outside of the time ring. More flaking each time the clock is handled and someday it will have to be repainted. One day movement strikes hours on a coil gong, running real well. We almost never see Seth Thomas steeple clocks, very few were made. Ly-Seth Thomas No. 1081.
