Antique American Clocks July 2020
64. $200
Seth Thomas triple decker, ca. 1860. The 32-inch case is rosewood veneer, dirty but intact;
the gold columns were repainted some time ago, the three glasses are original with very nice original designs. The painted contoured
dial is likely original as well and has been touched up where the paint chipped off, with faded flowers in the spandrels; the hands
are period and appropriate. The 8-day, weight-driven, time-and-strike movement is signed Seth Thomas, Plymouth Hollow, and bears
the American eagle in the center; it is very dirty, has several solder repairs, and runs for only a few minutes; it strikes on a wire
gong that is either moved or replaced. A pendulum bob and crank are included; there are no weights, but two weights that will
work in this clock are listed in Parts (item 902). A dark label from Plymouth Hollow, dating this clock to pre-1865. A
very original ST triple decker that would clean up with some effort. $200-$400.
