Seth Thomas “Steeple Weight”, ca. 1858.  Seth Thomas wasn’t really into steeples, preferring OGs; this is his first entry, and it’s more an OG with a peak than a steeple.  The case is 29 inches tall with rosewood veneer, mahogany on the sides, correct finials, and a gesso eagle in the pediment.  Both glasses are likely original.  The dial is wood with some losses, the hands period and correct.  The 30-hour time-and-strike movement is signed with the Plymouth Hollow location; it will run briefly and strike, driven by two 30-hour weights.  The Plymouth Hollow label is faded and water-stained, but complete.  This clock used to sell for a pretty penny, as it is uncommon.  $200–$400.
