Seth Thomas “Cottage” alarm, 1865-1917.  Seth Thomas made cottage clocks like this for over 50 years, a durable model.  All are 14.5 inches tall, this one in rosewood and mahogany veneer in excellent condition, clean but in need of some polish.  The dial glass is old, the lower tablet a not-too-modern replacement.  The contoured metal dial has been repainted, the hands are incorrect.  The signed, time-and-alarm movement is the round cottage movement shown on page 991 of Ly’sVol. 2, Seth Thomas Clocks & Movements; in this case the strike train is replaced by an alarm and the clock does not strike – perfect for a bedroom nightstand.  There is a good label inside from Thomaston, dating the clock to after 1865.  It is running, the alarm was not tested.  $50-$150.
