Catalog Description: Seth Thomas “Round Band” beveled ogee clock, ca 1875. 8 day, gong strike, alarms on a brass bell. Full label, repainted zinc dial, great tablet (although broken) showing cats trying to catch a mouse. 17 inch walnut or mahogany veneer. One problem, if you want it to be, the dial is an old zinc repaint, but does not have the cutout for an alarm. There is an alarm in the base of this case. Not a collector clock, but sure is nice otherwise. Ly-Seth Thomas No.976.

The refinished rosewood veneered case is in excellent condition with just a small veneer chip on the back edge, bottom. The original dial has been repainted. The gong for the strike is missing, but the brass grommet that holds in place is still there, which would make it an easy repair. The bell for the alarm is still there (they actually have bent the hammer so it strikes and alarms on the same bell). The label is very clean. The original tablet of a dog is in outstanding condition. Height 17 inches

Catalog Description: Seth Thomas, “Rosewood, Shell Column”, ca 1875. Weight clock, similar in a lot of ways with the mainstay mantle clock, the OG clock. This clock is very similar to No. 496 as it is also made of rosewood veneer, shell columns, gold capitals and bases. I can almost call the clock perfect. The gold is about 100 percent. There are a couple of tiny veneer chips that you have to look hard to find. And I am in doubt about the lower glass, so I will call it a replacement. Signed brass movement strikes a coil gong, runs good. The old zinc dial has held the paint much better than we normally see on aSeth Thomas dial this old, and someone has touched up a half dozen chipped places. The old clock actually looks very good. Fantastic full label, a pair of period weights, brass pendulum and key. Ly-Seth Thomas No. 989.

Catalog Description: C.1866, Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Conn., “Rosewood”, 30-hour time/strike column & cornice shelf clock. The rosewood veneered case with a nice old finish is in exceptionally nice condition with a couple of minor veneer chips on the base and just below the right column. The original painted dial, that is very nice for a Seth Thomas, has some flaking along the bottom and around the winding holes. The tablet, which is unusual, appears to be original; no evidence of replacement. The movement is marked “Plymouth Hollow” which would make this a crossover clock, assembled just after the Civil War. It looks as good in person as it does in the foto. Height 25 inches
