Catalog Description: Seth Thomas contemporary clock resembling the earlier “Lunar” model. This is a 3 weight clock striking 8 rods on the quarters and hours. Chain pull up 8 day movement is running well. Full label with instructions on the back. The clock was made after 1970 when they merged with the Talley Industries, and before 1982 when the company moved from Thomaston, Conn. to Georgia. Cherrycase is 32″ high plus the pendulum and weights hanging below. Full door infront plus the whole top comes off like the bonnet of a tall clock. Nearmint clock except for tiny scrapes on the weights and pendulum, not worthmentioning really. A lot of clock for this minimum, and very very heavy.

Catalog Description: C.1909, Seth Thomas Clock Co., “LUNAR” in old oak and in good condition. These clocks turn up from time to time but often in a state of distress. This one has had the dial professionally repainted, and it is exactly correct and as it should be. The finish on the case is original , with minor nicks and scrapes commensurate with its age. Now Seth Thomas in their catalog lists this clock as 41 inches, however, that dimension includes the weights hanging below the case; the case itself is only 36″. Two weight movement is complete and sound; clock ticks and strikes. Pendulum is in box with weights & finial.

Catalog Description: Seth Thomas alarm clock, “Long Alarm” ca 1910. Bought and distributed by a New York company as an advertising piece. Inscribed on the dial is, “Geo. W. Welsh’s Son., New York”, plus the street address. Touted as a “long alarm” it is that. It will alarm for about 15 minutes with one winding. It is not a sound you want to listen to for 15 minutes. One day movement, seconds dial and alarm dial, wind and set in back, alarm switch in front. Metal case is 9 inches high, finished in an oxidized copper finish. Looks nice and original but typical of this clock the round metal on top tends to crack and split, no doubt from heat and cold. This is a very nice example of Seth’s top of the line alarm clocks. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 25.
