Antique American Clocks July 2020
311. $100
Seymour, Hall & Co. 1-day wooden works, 1839-1840. There are only three clocks listed in the Antique Clocks Price Guide under this short-lived company, none in very good condition. This makes four. It should have a carved splat and perhaps two carved pineapple finials. The pillar & scroll base was added as well; it might have had claw feet. The old impressionistic reverse-glass painting is out of place. The dial glass is old, with old putty but not necessarily original. The case is 37.5-inches tall with very nice carved half columns, the best part of this clock; the finish on the door is alligatored and the knob is improper. The wooden dial is fine, hands period, the 30-hour, time-and-strike wooden movement is untested, and there are no weights. If you want weights let me know on your bid sheet ($25). Nice label inside. $100-$200.
I had earlier identified this as an 8-day clock; it is not.
