Catalog Description: C.1955, Seth Thomas, 110v electric “Plymouth” tambour clock Westminster chime, as-found. This clock has been packed away for a while, and we were surprised on plugging it in and moving the hands to find that it chimed the quarter hours just fine, and with great tone. BUT the hands are not advancing despite the obvious efforts of the motor, so it is going to require some looking into. Note original instructions, pre-load key and silvered dial with raised bronze numerals. Original finish great, plus burled applique intact; Height 9″ $75-100

Catalog Description: C.1880, Seth Thomas Clock, Co, Thomaston, Conn, “PITTSBURGH, V.P.” in walnut, 8-day time and strike on cathedral gong. Condition: Overall very good original condition. The biggest item that keeps it from being excellent is that something fell against the front molding and gouged it, and it was later filled with something that shrank, and your finger feels the cavity before your eye does. There are also other minor nick and scrapes commensurate with the age of the clock. This fancy cut glass/mirror pendulum was used on both the Pittsburgh and the St. Paul, and there should be one more little loop above the leafy decoration. (Shows clearly in the foto of the St. Paul). Original dial has had some chips in-painted, and the ST logo is from a rub-on set. Otherwise the clock is a very good example of this model with nice original finish. Ht 23″ [58.5cm]
