Antique American Clocks JANUARY 2025
140. $300
Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Office No. 9”, ca. 1921. You’ve
probably not seen this model before; there are no sales records on LiveAuctioneers and just one sale, in 2003, on the Antique Clocks
Identification and Price Guide. This is a 30-day, time-only clock that was made to be functional, not beautiful. As the
name says, it was made for office use, with a strong and reliable double-spring movement (86W) as big as a Volkswagen, and a plain
and economical case. The 32-inch oak case has been refinished beautifully; both glasses are old and look like they are original. The 12-inch dial has been repainted, the hands are ST issue. The movement has been cleaned and serviced and is running confidently,
with a replacement pendulum stick and bob. A beat scale but no label. If you have the right spot for this clock, I think
you’ll be pleased with it; an office or kitchen seems right to me. $300–$600.
