Seth Thomas 30 hour weight clock, rosewood and gilt columns, ca 1863.

Seth Thomas 30 hour weight clock, rosewood and gilt columns, ca 1863. This clock was made with several different looks, but only the finish of the columns was changed. This clock may be the best of this model we have had. Other than two small, flat, veneer chips on the front base, and an easy repair of the veneer on the sides of the flat, top board, the case is wonderful. The gilt columns are very dirty but the finish is perfect and with the right cleaning, the gold would shine again. The painted metal dial is almost perfect, very unusual. There is no paint on the lower glass and some of the label has worn off where the weights flop against it. The clock is running and strikes on a coil gong. The nice rosewood veneer case is 25 inches high. Ly-Seth Thomas No. 992.
