C.1875, Southern Calendar Clock Co., St. Louis, Mo., "Fashion No. 1", in generally good condition, with some veneer losses and some restoration. Typical of Seth Thomas production, the case is veneered in rosewood, but there is extensive chipping on the top cornice, plus a little on the calendar bezel and along the bottom edge of the base. The dials are now paper, drawn by a graphic artist maybe 50 years ago and carefully pasted over the original pans; for freehand they are quite nice. The rollers are original paper, slightly tanned and very good. The time and strike movement is clean and running and all 3 hands are original. Note the complete direction label inside door indicates this clock was produced in May of 1875, by Seth Thomas, and the first year of the ST-Southern contract. Height 29 inches
