Antique American Clocks July 2020
514. $150
Seth Thomas “Helmsman Combination”, ca. 1970. Chrome-plated clock and barometer in separate
bases of solid walnut, each with 4-inch silver-plated dials. The clock is an 8-day, 7-jewel lever movement striking ships bells;
you gotta be a sailor to appreciate. If you aren’t don’t worry, the clock is self-correcting so it will always strike correctly. It is running and striking. Cases are 8.75 inches in diameter, the base is 13 inches long. Barometer has a high-grade
compensated movement (whatever that means). $150-$300.
