Seth Thomas “Eclipse”,ca. 1890.  A 26.5-inch refinished walnut case with carvings top and bottom.  The glass is a modern replacement; the dial was repainted by The Dial House, the hands are correct.  The signed Seth Thomas 8-day, time-and-strike movement is running and striking on a wire gong on a Seth Thomas mount; the pendulum is specific to this model and says ‘Eclipse’ at the top.  The alarm is hooked up but untested.  There are remnants of a label inside.  The Eclipse was, and is a popular model, with many sales on LiveAuctioneers, most recently at Fontaine’s and Vogt’s for $175 and $150, respectively.  $150-$250.
