Seth Thomas Sons & Co. “No. 5002”, ca. 1872.  This 9-inch clock (with dome) is more commonly known as a candlestand clock.  The base here is a replacement and the dome on this clock is cracked and taped together; it is not the original dome and is a bit too short.  The gold rings on the candlestick are discolored.   The signed porcelain dial is perfect and the hands are correct.  The clock is running easily but the hour/half-hour strike is sticky.  It also feels like the strike spring may be disconnected or broken.  This is a 15-day movement and is signed on the back.  Mr. Horton sold one in July 2018 for $1275 but it was in near-perfect condition.  Although sales of this model are scarce, I’d look for $150-$300 for this example.
