About the Seth Thomas “Office Calendar No. 6” Clock
Introducing the Antique Seth Thomas Office Calendar No. 6 Clock, a significant addition to any collector’s American clock collection. This particular model was produced in 1891 and stands at a height of 32 inches, crafted from either mahogany or walnut with a dark stain finish.
The Office Calendar No. 6 is the successor to the Office Calendar No. 4, featuring a larger calendar dial and an upgraded R.T. Andrews patent movement. The clock boasts solid wooden bezels without veneer, accompanied by a nickel trim ring. While the two buttons above the calendar dial on this specific example are improper replacements, the rest of the piece remains in good condition.
The time and strike 8-day spring-driven movement is signed and operational, striking the hours on a wire gong. The calendar mechanism is also functioning, although some components such as the rollers have been replaced or repaired. Both dials have undergone repainting, while the glass over the time dial is old, and the calendar glass is modern.
Despite minor imperfections like a large replacement hook to hold the door shut and some veneer loss on certain areas of the case, this Seth Thomas Office Calendar No. 6 clock remains a noteworthy piece in any antique collection.

Antique Seth Thomas Office Calendar No. 6 Clock
Jan 2022 – #88 Antique American Clocks Seth Thomas “Office Calendar No. 6”, 1891. A 32-inch mahogany (or walnut with a dark stain) This is the successor to the Office Calendar No. 4, a bit larger with a larger calendar dial; the calendar mechanism was upgraded to the R.T. Andrews patent movement (1876), and a strike was available (as found here). The bezels were made from solid wood without veneer and a nickel trim ring was added. Buttons were still included, and on this example the two buttons above the calendar dial are improper replacements, the only flaw I can find here. The glass over the time dial is old, the calendar glass modern, and both dials have been repainted, the hands are correct. The 8-day time-and-strike spring-driven movement is signed and running, striking the hours on a wire gong, and the calendar is advancing. The rollers are rather dark and probably There is a large replacement hook to hold the door shut; a smaller hook probably would have been sufficient. Nonetheless, a nice example. Horton’s sold two in 2018, one for $461 and one for $885 (wow!).

Seth Thomas “Office Calendar No.6”, ca 1844.
8 day, time, perpetual calendar. 12 inch time dial, 10 inch calendar dial. Immaculately maintained, looks almost new it is so clean. The dials have been professionally repainted. I have had this clock hanging in my office for some time but space is getting precious and something has to go. The movements and even the wood inside the case is clean as new. Full label, running. 32 inch rosewood case is perfect. If I were pressed to find something wrong with this clock I would probably say the dials are just a little whiter than I like them. I would probably like them a little more aged or off white. Ly-Calendar No.607, or Ly-Seth Thomas No.66.
