31.       $400

Seth Thomas “Lincoln”, 1884.  A 28-inch walnut case with a cleaned finish; there is still some gunk in the corners and edges.  The door glass appears to be original but the dial is paper L; the hands are Seth Thomas.  The dial bezel is nickel, as is the cathedral gong mount, damascened pendulum bob and proper weights.  There are four weight pulleys and a blue label inside; the date of manufacture is stamped on the back.  The 8-day, time-and-strike movement is signed and running, striking on the hours.  Horton’s sold one in 2018 for $695, and it had mismatched brass weights. $500-$800.
