Seth Thomas “Athens”, 1887.  This is a slight variation of the Athens city series model – the door frame at the top differs from the catalog illustration by missing some arched trim.  The case is walnut, nicely cleaned, 17 inches tall.  The door glass is old, the stained paper dial an old replacement; remains of the original painted dial are on the back of the dial pan.  The ST 8-day, time-and-strike movement is running and striking, the pendulum bob is ST issue, and there is an alarm (untested).  There is a black label inside on the bottom and the date of manufacture is stamped on the back.  $100-$200.
