Condition: Imported marble and onyx case has minor chips on some of the sharp edges of the case and a chip on the back edge of the side molding. Porcelain dial has a little repair around the right winding hole, but still looks good. Round plate movement is signed as in the headline. This was near the end of Seth Thomas' effort to compete head on with the French onslaught of clocks that were pouring into New York and Boston harbors; dial on this is signed simply Seth Thomas, as they were using up the "Sons" movements that were left over after they were absorbed into the Seth Thomas Clock Co. in 1879. Nice beginner level clock. Height 10.75 inches
