Antique American Clocks February 2023
DG-9. $150
Seth Thomas (Talley Industries) “Long Drop Octagon
Chime”, ca. 1980. A modern chiming wall clock in a 43-inch-long solid oak case. The dial is porcelain with dials for the
day, date, and month, as well as a seconds bit. The 8-day, time, strike, and chime movement was made in Germany for Talley Industries;
it is running and playing Westminster chimes on the quarter hours on 5 rods. There is an instruction label on the back of the
case with set-up instructions. A nice sound. Only one sale on LiveAuctioneers, at Harris in 2010 for $175. $150-$250.
