25.      $100

Seth Thomas “Eclipse”, ca. 1880.  A 24.5-inch walnut case with a clean, slightly glossy finish.  Old glass in the door with a good gold stencil.  A signed paper dial in a bright brass bezel.  The 8-day, half-hour strike Seth Thomas movement is running and striking.  The pendulum has the correct Eclipse-signed bob.  An untested alarm, an instruction label inside.  Only flaw – the hour hand is incorrect, but a close match to the original.  A popular Seth Thomas shelf clock.  Horton’s sold one a year ago every bit as nice for $150.  $125-$175.
