Seth Thomas “Office Calendar No. 4”, ca. 1875.  A 27.5-inch case veneered in rosewood with a bit of chipping on the upper bezel, as you might expect.  The glasses are old, the dials are old repaints I think, with a bit of chipping and slight discoloration.  The hands are correct.  The 8-day time-only movement is signed and running, as clean as a whistle, and the calendar is advancing.  A nice label on the back of the door.  Horton’s sold one in 2019 for $375, and a nicer one in 2018 for $465.  $375-$450.
