Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Lincoln”, 1888. Always
a favorite, the 28-inch-tall walnut case has a clean finish, the door glass is original, and the dial was repainted some time ago
and is beginning to flake again. The hands are correct. The bezel is nickel, as is the gong mount and damascened pendulum
bob, but the weights are brass and mismatched (one is not an ST weight, the other I am not sure about, and they are not the same size). The trapezoidal Seth Thomas 8-day time-and-strike movement is running without problem. The date of manufacture is stamped on
the back, but not easily visible; there is a flaking black label on the inside bottom. Not perfect, but pretty darn good. Think about it. Lots of Lincoln sales on LiveAuctioneers, with three sales in 2022 for $800, $1000, and $1200. $750-$1000.
