About the Seth Thomas “Early Cottage” Clock
The Seth Thomas “Early Cottage” clock, cataloged around 1875, is a miniature version of the classic cottage style timepiece. This particular piece features the original dial, albeit with a less than ideal restoration, and bears an authentic Seth Thomas label along with its original glasses.
The clock’s case, made of walnut, measures approximately 9 1/2 inches in height. While overall good, the veneer on the top edge exhibits some minor chips. The model number, Ly-Seth Thomas No.1558, is clearly visible, attesting to its authenticity as a Seth Thomas production.
