Seth Thomas column & splat, ca. 1835.  A 29.5-inch (short drop, 42T escape wheel) 30-hour wooden works clock.  The mahogany veneer is complete, the columns and splat repainted and re-bronzed.  Both glasses are original, the tablet having lost most of its eglomise painting.  The dial shows some peculiar wear between the 5 and 6 and in the middle.  There are new paw feet in front, turned feet in back; the chimney caps are a bit nicked up.  Very nice label inside.  The wooden movement looks ok but I can’t wind the time side and the strike side doesn’t want to strike; I can’t advance the hands.  Like the previous clock, this one has been stored for some time and a little attention is probably all that is needed. The hands are correct but the hour hand has been repaired.  Two old 30-hour weights.  This style clock has been selling for $250-$400 when in decent shape.
