Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Column”, 1891.  A third example of this model, this one from much later (1891), and with rosewood veneer all around, and a clean, polished finish.  The shell columns retain the original finish and gilding top and bottom but may have been varnished.  Both glasses are original, the tablet of a fox encountering a snake rebacked.  The dial is a galvanized steel replacement with a glossy paper dial. The hands are proper and ST issue.  The 30-hour time-and-strike, weight-driven movement is signed and running, striking on a wire gong.  There is a varnished Seth Thomas Thomaston label inside, and the manufacture date is stamped on the back.  $100–$200.
