Seth Thomas “Engine Lever”, ca. 1935.  I can’t find an exact match in Ly’s book on Seth Thomas Clocks, but this most closely approximates the Engine Lever shown for 1935.  The nickel-plated case is 8 inches in diameter with a 6-inch silver-plated dial; the bezel is hinged with a push-button to open.  It has a signed Seth Thomas No. 10 double-wind, time-only lever movement that includes a seconds bit.  The dial is signed “Geo. J. Adams”, likely a retailer who ordered the clocks. The nickel case needs polishing and the silvered dial as well.  It is running.  $100-$250.
