136.     $100

Seth Thomas “Office No. 1”, ca. 1879.  A 25-inch case with good rosewood veneer, both glasses original with the tablet retaining both the gilt and black background.  The metal dial is flaking and has been touched up; the hands are correct.  The signed time-only movement, 8 days, will only run for a minute with an uneven beat.  A good label inside.  Horton’s sold one in 2019 for $150.  $100-$150.
