Antique American Clocks July 2021
243. $250
Seth Thomas “Parlor Calendar No. 5”, ca. 1890. A 20-inch walnut case with a light stain and a smooth,
clear finish that is likely original; the base and the dial board have a darker finish that contrasts nicely. Both dial glasses
are likely original, as are the dials, which have been varnished and show little flaking. The hands are correct. The 8-day
time-and-strike movement is signed and running, striking on a brass bell. The weekday roller is advancing but the calendar date
needs adjustment. Horton’s sold this model in 2018 for $300; Fontaine’s sold one that same year for $350. $250-$350.
