    Antique Seth Thomas

    Catalog Description: Seth Thomas Clock Co. short drop, school house clock, or as the catalogs call it, the “12 Inch Drop Octagon”, ca 1909. It has an 8 day, time only, movement, and is running. 75% of the label is intact inside the case. Pendulum bob has been replaced. I wonder how many clocks have the original pendulum? The paper dial is new.The 23 1/2 inch old oak case has a coat of varnish or brown paint on it which sure didn’t improve its looks. The case is solid, very serviceable, and could make someone a fine first clock. It is probably as good as my first clock. Ly-Seth Thomas No.505.

  • Antique Seth Thomas “Drop Octagon, 12 Inch” Model Clock

    Antique Seth Thomas

    Catalog Description: Seth Thomas Clock Co. “12 Inch Drop Octagon”, ca 1881, per the factory stamp on the case. Brown label inside, over 95 percent good. Everything original, pendulum, maybe even the key. Walnut veneer case is almost 24 inches high. Some scuffing and veneer damage on the left side near the bezel latch, and on the left side down on the base. A little stain on the places would probably disguise them, although not obnoxious as it is, just enough to keep the clock from being great. Wonder of wonders, the old painted dial is original and has very good paint, no chipping, and the bezel still has original putty holdingthe glass. Ly-Seth Thomas No. 505.

    Antique Seth Thomas

    Catalog Description: Seth Thomas “12 Inch Drop Octagon”, ca 1909. 24 inch oak case, a great use of the grain, darkened over the years. Original painted dial has a little discoloration and paint loss where fingers rubbed. 8 day, time only, running. The old case dried out and separated slightly at the base. Rather than pull it together and glue, someone filled the cracks and stained. It is fine, just not a proper repair. Ly-Seth Thomas No.505.
