Seth Thomas mantle clock, called the "Arch Top", for lack of a regular name.

Made in the 1880's and in my humble opinion was a "City Series" clock as all shelf clocks made by ST during this period were City Series models. The name and clock may have been separated and never advertised together so we later named it "Arch Top". This nicely polished burl walnut case is in excellent condition. The movement is 8 day, running and striking hourly on a coil gong. Full label inside. The only negative I see, and it is easily corrected, is a new paper dial installed on the old pan. A $30-$40 dial paint job would make this a fine clock. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 277. We have sold nice examples of this model upwards of $1000.
