This model case has beautiful floral accents carved on each side. Note this is an early case with inset door that was discontinued in an effort to simplify the case. The damascene pendulum and smooth weights are original The only fault we found was that the clock wants to stop when it warns for the hour strike; warning lever needs adjusting. Height 38″

  • Antique Seth Thomas “Fleet Series” Model Clock

    Antique Seth Thomas

    Catalog Description: Seth Thomas oak mantle, the third and last of the “Fleet Series”, ca 1909 to 1915. The only difference in this one from the others is that it has an alarm, sounding on a brass bell, and the dial is a tad better. 8 day, striking half hours, running. Not a dimes worth of difference in the 3 clocks. He had acquired the set in about as good of condition as you could hope to find. Ly-Seth Thomas #1108.

  • Antique Seth Thomas “Fashion No. 5” Model Clock

    Antique Seth Thomas

    Catalog Description: Seth Thomas Made for the Southern Calendar Clock Co. , Fashion No. 5″, ca 1875-1889. The Fashions used the Andrews calendar mechanism which many horologists feel is the most accurate and dependable calendar mechanism ever made. This No. 5 model was the first using a long pendulum. Cases are 32 inches high and made of fine walnut. The movements were 8 day, hour strike on a bell. I note that the dials have been repainted which seems to be standard procedure for the Fashions, and the calendar dial has the seldom seen name,”Fashion Calendar Clock”. The finials are not original to this clock but were expertly copied from originals. The clock is running and operating properly.
