Seth Thomas Clock Co. hanging clock, the "Lunar", ca 1892. This clock has the same movement as the "Jupiter". It is an 8 day lyre shape with an extension on the top that hold the hammer that strikes the large cup bell on the hours, and it supports the moon phase dial that orbits behind the time dial. The movement is powered by the two special grooved weights. The clock is wound by pulling down on the center chains. This clock also has a decorative cast pendulum bob with a wood stick, original chains, door lock and winding key, original signed dial that has had some old and minor restoration, and the correct pair of hands. The mahogany case is 41" high and 20" wide, all original but the wood was polished and rubbed giving it a nice sheen. We recently had the movement cleaned and serviced. The books say this model first appeared in the ST catalogs in 1894, but our clock has a factory stamp on the back "2981A", or January 1892. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 319-320. Booked for $3750 five years ago. This is only our 3rd Lunar in over 30 years of selling thousands of clocks.
