Seth Thomas Clock Co. “Drop Octagon 12 Inch”, 1906.  A 24-inch oak case with an old refinish.  The glasses are old and the lower door tablet is correct; the painted 12-inch dial shows scattered chipping, fading, and wear.  The hands are ST issue.  The 8-day time-only movement is signed and running and there is a good label inside, with a date of 1906 stamped on the back.  A classic; they must have sold these with little change in style for 30 years. $50–$150.
