Self-Winding Clock Co. “No. 10” ca. 1898. The SWCC began in 1886 and stayed in business
until the 1960’s. Initially they purchased cases and movements from established manufacturers (likely a Seth Thomas case here)
and modified the movement to be battery-wound; eventually they manufactured their own movements, as found here. The 31-inch
solid oak case has been refinished nicely; the dial glass is modern, and the signed 14-inch dial may have been repainted. The
movement is signed and there are two C-size battery holders inside. I did not test the clock. AAC sold a very similar
example last summer for $390. $250-$450.
