Southern Calendar Clock Co. “Fashion No. 3”, ca. 1880.  The first model to use a full-glass door with “Fashion” on the glass in gilt lettering, and the first to include a seconds bit on the time dial.  The solid walnut case is 27.5-inches tall (32 inches with the finial) with a clean and slightly dulled finish on the base.  The door glass is old and the lettering correct; both dials have been repainted and the time dial has been touched up as well.  The back of the zinc calendar dial is flaking badly.  The seconds hand is a replacement, the other hands correct.  The 8-day time-and-strike movement was made by Seth Thomas for the SCCC, as imprinted on the front of the movement.  It is very reluctant to run and will need a cleaning, as it has probably sat for years.  Note the nickel star pendulum bob with the leaf ornamentation on top, correct for this model.  It strikes on a large brass bell.  The calendar weekday roller is advancing but the date hand is not and will need attention.  There is a large dark blue and gold label inside that may be a replica, and a white label behind the calendar. Horton’s sold one in 2017 for $1350 but prices have come down since then.  $900-$1200.
