Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Chronometer Lever”, ca. 1904.  This model is shown in Ly’s book on Seth Thomas clocks, Vol. 2, page 773.  The clean mahogany case is 16.5-inches across and sits on an octagonal base.  The dial glass is period/original.  The 12-inch brass dial has been touched up at the top and is still peeling; the hands are original.  The signed double-wind, lever-spring movement runs for at least 8 days and is running without problem. ST described this as a high-quality movement for applications where a pendulum movement was impractical and accurate time-keeping was essential.  The wood bezel latches with the key.  No recent sales.  $350–$500.
