Antique American Clocks July 2020
25. $300
Southern Calendar Clock Co. “Fashion No. 2”, ca. 1876. The Fashion No. 2 was veneered
with walnut and this one shows the usual chipping and losses, particularly along the top front edge. The bezels are good and
may have been reveneered. The upper dial glass is old, the lower glass is modern. Both dials look original, with chipping,
particularly on the calendar dial; the hands are correct. The finials are replacements. The movement is signed by Seth
Thomas, made for Southern Calendar Clock Co. It is running reluctantly and will stop if I turn away from it; you’ll probably
need to have it cleaned. The pendulum bob is a replacement. It strikes on a large brass bell; the calendar hand and weekday
roller is advancing. Good labels inside. These clocks are common, often in rough condition, and sell based on condition. I would expect this one to sell for $300-$500.
