146.           $300

Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Inspiration and Innocence”, ca. 1906. I can find no sales records for this evidently rare model, although it is shown in Ly, Seth Thomas Clocks & Movements, Vol. 2, page 608.  Its big and heavy, 26 inches wide and 21 inches tall, and has been professionally refinished.  I see only one boo-boo, the loss of part of the index finger on the left figure.  Not readily noticeable.  Note the three attached dragonflies on the center mount.  The clean porcelain dial sits behind a flat beveled glass, with the original hands.  The signed 8-day, time and half-hour strike movement is running and striking as expected.  A large and impressive double-figural that is rarely seen.  $300–$600.
