18.       $400

Seth Thomas pillar & scroll, ca. 1830.  A 31-inch clock with two replaced glasses and the tablet painted by a Mr. Moberg.  Everything else looks very original, and in very good shape.  The scroll tips are unrepaired – how often do you see that?!  The brass urn finials are Seth Thomas style, with metal posts; the feet and skirt look fine.  The dial is clean, the hands appear to be replacements.  There is an ivory escutcheon and door key.  The 30-hour wooden works is running and striking, driven by two old weights and regulated by a lead-backed pendulum bob.  Good label inside. An attractive example.  $400-$600.
