Seth Thomas “Office Calendar No. 7”, 1888.  The 27-inch No. 7 is the little brother to the 32-inch No. 6.  Both are modeled after the Office Calendar No. 4.  The walnut veneer on this example is excellent, with no losses and clear graining; the finish is old and possibly original.  Both glasses are old; the dials are old paper replacements, the hands are correct.  This clock contains a proper time-only, 8-day signed movement; the model also came with a time-and-strike movement.  There is a dark label on the door and a “do not oil” label behind the calendar.  The calendar rollers are very dark.  The clock is running and the day is advancing, but the date hand is sticky and needs a bit of adjustment.  The date of manufacture is stamped on the back (1888).  AAC sold a similar example in January for $450.  $400-$600.
