Seth Thomas “Lobby 14 Inch” ca. 1895. A 31-inch oak veneered-case with carvings on the
front, in an “old oak” finish. A larger version came with an 18-inch dial; I often confuse this one with the smaller Office
No. 5. Of the three, I like this model the best. The dial glass is old, the dial repainted, the hands correct. Like
#66, this clock uses a huge movement, the No. 50, a time-only, 15-day spring-driven behemoth. It is running with authority. Horton’s sold one in 2018 in walnut for $955; Harris sold a clean oak version last fall for $1100. $500-$750.
