Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Empire No. 31”, ca. 1905.  Well, look at this!  Girl in bonnet, a must have!  The clock is 22.5 inches tall in barbedienne bronze with rich gold feet and trimmings.  There are two cut glass columns and four beveled glasses; the signed, decorated dial is porcelain, the hands possible replacements.  The 8-day time and half-hour strike movement is signed and running, striking on the standing cathedral gong. What’s not to like?  It’s in perfect condition.  This model sold at Fontaine’s last year for $500.  $275–$500.
