    Antique Seth Thomas Office Calendar No. 7 Clock

    Jan 2020 – 46 Antique American Clocks Seth Thomas “Office Calendar No. 7”, 1888. The second-smallest Office Calendar, at 26.5 inches (behind the No. 3 “Peanut”). This one is very original. The glasses and hands are old, including the original calendar hand; the dials may have been repainted long ago as they are just too good to still be original paint, but they show a lot of age; the calendar roller paper covers are very dark, and the walnut veneer case shows no repairs and has all the decorative buttons. This one is time-only with a signed ST movement that is running effortlessly. The pendulum bob is a replacement. The calendar day is advancing but the date needs adjustment. Good labels inside, and a date stamp on the back (1888). About all you could ask for. The last one Horton’s sold was in July of 2018 for $610.

    Rosewood veneer case is 26.5″ high, with decorative attached buttons, top, bottom, and middle. The case is very similar to their No. 4 and No. 6 models. This case is almost perfect, no bad veneer, no repairs, all original. Key lock on the side. Two labels inside the case, the one on the door says the clock and calendar were set to running November 1, 1878. Original dials have not been repainted and have very little paint loss; however, years ago someone put a coat of varnish or wax on the dials. It has held the paint very good, but it also darkened them somewhat and gives the impression there are brush marks. They aren’t bad, and since the case is so nice I would sure live with the dials. 8 day, spring, striking hours on a large brass bell. Perpetual calendar is functioning and clock is running.

    Seth Thomas “Office Calendar No. 7”, C. 1878.

    This No. 7 in some ways is a better clock than #64, but the rosewood veneer on #64 always looks better to me. This walnut veneer case is very nice, still with the original finish, a tiny veneer chip or two, scuffed on the bottom of the door, but no harm. This door has a hook on the side, where #64 has a key lock on the side. The biggest negative is that the case apparently split slightly around the lower hinge. It hasn’t been tinkered with and is not bad as is. I probably would not do anything. Dials look very good, color matches, but top dial was repainted at some time. Two excellent full labels. The one on the door says the clock was set to running on August 1, 1878. The case is 26.5″ high. Movement is 8 day, strikes hours on a large brass bell, perpetual calendar is working properly.

This collector’s item, manufactured by the prestigious Seth Thomas Clock Co. around 1884, boasts a distinctive walnut case standing at approximately 50 inches tall.

    The clock features two large 14-inch dials, a painted tin dial with an S.T. monogram and Roman numerals on the chapter ring, as well as an outer minute ring marked with ticks and triangles every 5 and diamonds every 15 minutes. A seconds dial above the center is adorned with Arabic numerals every 10 seconds. The lower dial displays a calendar with the same S.T. monogram and Patented mark from February 15, 1876, along with cut-out windows on each side that house revolving cylinders displaying the day of the week on the left and the month on the right.

    A very rare model, large, heavy, and difficult to find one that is complete and does not have a broken tail on the bottom or broken finials and railing on the top. This clock has all those parts but is missing the original calendar movement. The walnut case is 50″ tall, has large 14″ dials, is very heavy and requires two people to carry and hang the clock. It is clean and polished and has been restored where restoration was needed. I cannot tell there is any new wood, etc. but as you know there are craftsmen out there that can do as well as the Seth Thomas workers. The finish on the case may not suit everyone, but could easily be polished and rubbed down to suit a new owner. It is possible the lock has been moved or a new lock installed, but not sure of either. All the case trim appears to be correct and complete. The clock has its correct pendulum, weight, hands, two dials, and keys for both doors. A special key is needed to open the little door underneath the base. That door has a glass for viewing the pendulum. We have sold a half dozen of this model over the years and they generally have brought over $10,000. You can get a reproduction calendar movement from Zero-Distance Ebay Store, based in California, for around $800, or buy clock No. 87 and use that calendar movement.

    Seth Thomas, "Office Calendar No. 5", C. 1884.

    Seth Thomas, “Office Calendar No. 5”, C. 1884.

    Some collectors look a lifetime for this model. I haven’t seen a half dozen in 25 years. This may only be the 3rd one I have had for sale. 50″ walnut case with polished French walnut trimmings (according to the catalogs). I would have called it burl walnut that is polished like fine furniture. All the ST calendar movements are 8 day, time only, 1 weight that descends down the right side. Beat scale in the bottom, very nice nickel bob with the Seth Thomas circles, glass viewing port in the bottom below the pendulum. You can’t see it unless the clock is hung very high. There are two labels inside, the white one reminding you not to oil the calendar movement and a black one with operating instructions and signed by ST. All Seth Thomas dials eventually are repainted, this clock is no exception as both 14″ dials have been repainted, expertly I might add. The calendar rolls are original. The clock is in good running condition, very clean inside and out. There is no evidence the clock has been tinkered with, other than what may be needed with regular use over long periods. Ly-Seth Thomas #65. Millers-Calendar Clocks, #47.

    Seth Thomas “OFFICE CALENDAR No. 5”, in walnut with burled panels, double dial perpetual calendar, 14 inch dials, weight driven, C.1890 (dated presentation)

    The original finish on the case has been rubbed out to a nice sheen; the grain is still closed and beautiful. This clock was retailed by G. W. Sayer of Spencer, Mass and was a presentation gift to “Goodwill Lodge No. 181, IOOF, Feb 25th, 1890 by Member’s Unity Circle”, so engraved on silvered plaque at center of door. The dealer, Sayer hung and checked out the clock in Jan of 1890, so indicated on their card tacked inside door. And with the instruction sheet from Seth Thomas indicating that the calendar was set for the year 1888. The rollers have been recovered and both dials were repainted some time ago. The wood screws pulled out for the iron movement bracket and the wall hanger, and have been replaced with machine screws (not a bad idea for something this heavy). Has near perfect inside labels and great damascene pendulum (nickel finish on pend and reflectors). Note the large trapezoid movement is similar to that in the Office No. 8 calendar, except it is 72 beat instead of 60 beat. Tran Ly has several references on the No. 5, including a foto of the movement in the 2nd edition St, page 435, and the clock shown in 3rd Edition, page 94. 2004 price guide = $18,000.

    C.1884, Seth Thomas “Office Calendar No. 5” in oak and in excellent original condition.

    There are some flakes on the dials which keep this clock out of the “outstanding” category, but they are original, and most folks would be happy with them. This is a large and heavy clock, so be sure you have a strong stud to hang it on. The dials are 14″. Note there is a glass covered crescent shaped opening at the bottom where the swinging pendulum and index can be seen. The door over this area is still intact and has never been broken off (a troublesome spot on this model). The original finish on this oak case has been carefully cleaned and waxed and is an attractive golden color. We have seen this model sell recently for $17,000, and our estimate is quite reasonable. For addition information on this model, see Tran Duy Ly’s yellow calendar book, page 250, item 606. Height 50 inches

    Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Office Calendar No. 3”, ca 1863.

    To most of us this is their “Peanut” model. If I had the money and wall space I would attempt to corner the market on this model. This is my favorite of the Seth Thomas wall calendar clocks. I have three in my office and as you might suspect, I am selling the least perfect of the three. If the dials did not need painting I would keep this one. It has typical ST dials, flaking. I am afraid they are at the point of having to be repainted. Each jolt from hauling or packing, will cause more flakes to fall. This little clock is only 24″ high, mahogany veneered, and in very nice condition. The round solid plate, 8 day movement was only used in this calendar model. The calendar mechanism is by Mix Brothers, and all movements, ST hands, and dials are original. Note the near perfect label on the back of the door, and the old brass bob and winding key. Key lock on the side, key included but probably not original. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 92; and Ly-Calendar No. 600.

    Miniature Seth Thomas “Office Calendar No. 3”, or better known as the “Peanut”.

    The walnut case is 9″ tall and made to scale. The painted wood dials, hands, glasses, are all like the original peanut clocks. The small time only movement has a wire running to the calendar movement that moves the calendar dials. Instructions with the clock tell you how to move and adjust the “day of the week” and “month” rollers. Pendulum, winding key and tweezers (to adjust the calendar rollers) come with the clock. A label on the back says in part, “Limited Edition of 26 Pieces / Michael Paul / No. 8”. Pretty amazing. Ly-Calendar, page 248.

    Seth Thomas “Office Calendar No. 3”, ca 1863, called the “Peanut” by today’s collectors.

    The catalog pictures show the time dial with and without a recess in the center. I have had them both ways. All “Peanuts” were made early in the calendar clock production years and used the Mix Brothers patent calendar mechanism. Peanuts also used the ST hands, S on the minute hand and T on the hour hand. The old original zinc dials have been repainted, which 99% of them have been. 24-inch walnut veneer case is near perfect, and has a good black label on the door. Round Seth Thomas movement runs 8 days, and was apparently only used in the “Peanut” clock. I owned this clock for 20years, sold it to another collector, and recently bought his collection of120 clocks. This is a clock anyone would be proud to own, all original and running.

    Condition: the case has been attractively refinished and the veneer on both bezels is still good. Although there are 2 old dials with the clock, the top is correct and the bottom is from an Office No. 1, and mounts in turned about 3 degrees to the right (day and month holes do not line up properly). This could be solved by re-mounting the dial into new holes (we used the original holes), or having the Dial House make a new lower dial. Otherwise it is a nice clock with original hands, weight, pendulum, door lock, etc. Height 42.5 inches

    This clock lost its crown maybe 100 years ago and a very good cabinet maker made a new one apparently from a verbal description of what it should look like. He got the OG molding too tall and the angled top to tall, adding over 2″ to the factory height. Then someone cut out the calendar dial to show the pendulum swinging, and repainted both dials poorly. Both movements are original; one rod has come unattached from the calendar movement, but it is present. Original grid pendulum, bob and weight. Case partially stripped; rosewood veneer good except for minor losses; rollers original. A Major project, or these 2 movements will bolt in a Calendar-No.1 case if you have it. Height 44 1/2″

    Seth Thomas “Office Calendar No. 2”, C. 1862, when calendar clocks were first offered.

    They were introduced in their catalog of 1863. The full black label shows the Plymouth Hollow address as does the dial. I researched several of the early calendars clocks and none of the first movements were identical, which means to me they hadn’t settled on one movement in those formative years. This is a magnificient original rosewood case. Granted there are some corner nicks and a tiny bit of veneer chipped on the left side but I challenge anyone to show me a better, more original clock. I removed both 14″ square dial pans, (they are the original pans-repainted by Jim West, Houston) and the screw holes are tight. The screws couldn’t have been removed more than 2-3 times in 140 years. The case is 40.75″ high, all the catalogs say they are 42.5″?? This is a big clock, none of the catalog pictures do them justice. It is 8 day of course, 1 correct and original weight, time only. Ly-Seth Thomas, pages 34-35. Note that our clock is much older than the No. 1 and No. 2 pictured. Another reference is Millers “Calendar Clocks”, pages 10-11.

    The clock stands tall at 48 inches, with both versions featuring painted metal dials and brass pendulum bobs. While some components have been replaced over the years, such as the wooden dial mask and calendar mechanism mounts, the clock retains its original finish in excellent condition, showcasing a lovely patina.

    About the Seth Thomas “Office Calendar No. 10” Clock

The professionally repainted dials are of high quality, with the movement being driven by a weight descending within the right side of the case.

    Additional versions include a walnut Seth Thomas Office Calendar No. 10 Clock, featuring painted metal dials, nickel trim, and a damascened pendulum bob.
