Catalog Description: Seth Thomas mantle clock, “Greek”, ca 1884. 8 day, striking a nickel bell on the hours, running fine. Matching Seth Thomas nickel pendulum and rod, and dial rings. It has a new dial pan and dial paint. Full black label inside, original glass. 24 inch walnut case was evidently very dirty and was partially cleaned. Some of the finish is lighter in color. I wouldn’t do a thing to the case, although some folks may want it refinished completely to better highlight the nice walnut wood. If there is anything replaced on this clock besides the dial, I would probably point to the urn. It may have been added in later life, if so a great piece of work. Ly-Seth Thomas No.1296.

Catalog Description: Seth Thomas mantle clock, “Greek”, C. 1884. No doubt got its name from the urn on top and the columns on each corner. A large walnut cased clock, 24″ high, plain yet has a lot of character. The columns are grooved and above they each have their capital and ornate top. Full black label inside, excellent nickel accessories including the nickel bob with an embossed brass “ST” center, nickel pendulum rod, nickel bell, and nickel dial rings, all polished. 8 day movement strikes the bell on each hour, running very good. Glass is original, dial is replaced paper. The walnut case has original finish and is very dirty. It looks like someone thought about cleaning the case and decided it was a lot of trouble. Maybe some polish cleaner would help the case, it looks dull. The urn looks identical to all of this model I have had, but just too nice to be 120 years old, I will call it replaced. Ly-Seth Thomas #1296.

Catalog Description: Seth Thomas “Globe”, ca 1909. A handyman special, needs the green paint removed. You can probably get by with this original dial, just dirty. The accomplished painter didn’t even remove the dial and bezel when they painted the case, therefore the bezel has paint on it also. At least not on the dial.8 day, time only movement is running. It has a good label, and a factory stamp on the back, made “1912”. Hard to tell but I suppose it is oak, 31inches high. Ly-Seth Thomas No.402.
