75.      $400

Seth Thomas “Queen Anne”, ca. 1883.  You could get this in cherry, ebony, mahogany, oak, or walnut, with or without a strike.  This one is walnut, with a clear finish that is slightly glossy, and is time-only, eight days, spring-driven.  It is running without issue.  The door glass is old, the nickel pendulum bob is damascened, and there is a beat scale; all the finial knobs are present and there are no issues with the case.  The painted dial is original and has been touched up in a couple of spots; it is a bit faded and a bit warped.  The hands are correct.  There are remnants of a black label inside.  Another solid clock with little to complain about.  Queen Annes are bringing about $450 pretty consistently these days.  $400-$500.
