Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Parlor Calendar
No. 8”, 1889. A 27.5-inch walnut case with an old finish and contrast banding across the top, middle, and bottom. Note
the top carving and delicate finials – these are often damaged or replaced; I believe these are original. There is a small chip
off the top front of the carving. The glasses are period/original, the zinc dials have been repainted. The time hands
are ST issue, the calendar hand is an incorrect replacement. The signed movement has been cleaned and is running and striking
on a cathedral gong. The calendars are advancing. There is a good label on the back of the door and inside behind the
calendar. AAC sold an example like this in January 2023 for $1250. $900–$1200.
