Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Empire No. 25” (Rough Rider), ca. 1909. I’ve not seen this model before and there is only one sale on LiveAuctioneers for $300.  The 18-inch case is spelter with a Syrian Bronze finish, worn off in the high places; the Rough Rider is bronze.  There are four beveled glasses and a signed porcelain dial with the correct hands (Ly, Seth Thomas Clocks & Movements, Vol. 1, page 247).  The round movement has the ST logo and is running and striking the cathedral gong on the hours and half-hours.  The Rough Riders were a cavalry regiment in the Spanish-American War (1898) led by Teddy Roosevelt.  $250–$500.
