Seth Thomas “Office Calendar No. 3”, ca. 1863. The “Peanut” was an early wall calendar from Seth Thomas, only 23 inches from tip to tip, with a 6-inch time dial and an 8-inch calendar
dial. This model uses a round, double-wind, time-only movement that runs for 8 days, and was used only in this model. Here the case is veneered in rosewood in fine condition, with an old finish that shows some alligatoring. Both glasses are old/original,
the dials have been repainted, the hands, including the ‘ST’ time hands, are correct. The unsigned movement is running and the
Mix Brothers calendar is advancing. There is a black instruction label on the back of the door; I do not have a door key but
the door stays closed. AAC sold a Peanut in July 2020 for $3100. $2500-$3500.
