Original finish on this beehive style mahogany case, stands 15" high. Clean throughout, movements, case, and very nice silver dial. The finish is slightly crazed, has never been bothered, original. We rarely see a real nice silver dial, particularily on a Seth Thomas clock. This one is bowed as is the beveled glass. ST hands used on this clock. Quite possibly the only thing changed, improved, on this clock. Two large clocks movements, like those in the Sonora Chime clocks. Time movement is No. 89AM, and the Westminster Chime movement is No.

All original but the porcelain dial has hairlines. This is one case where definitely an ultrasonic bath would improve the looks 100%. No hand set knob. Ticks and stops. May as well clean the movement also.

It strikes the four rod chimes on quarter hours and a large coil gong on the hours. A note on the door says the clock was sold 1923. First time, second time? The clock is running and striking profusely. Gong movement will need to be regulated. Chime-Silent lever on the back of the case. Everything original including the pendulum. Mahogany case 13.5" high, dirty but very nice. A little polish will do wonders for this one. The convex dial is silver and pretty nice as silver dials go. Convex glass, cast silver sash and bezel.

Metal case is 3.75" high, bronze finish. One day movement struggles to run. Porcelain dial, beveled glass. Feet and back cover missing.

The cabinet case has a dull rubbed finish, decorative inlay all over the front and around the base on 3 sides. This case is perhaps the best I have ever had, but keep in mind it is crazed, never cleaned. 8 day movement No. 89AM, and Sonora chime movement No. 119, which strikes on 4 rods. Both movements are clean and in running order. The silver dial with raised brass numerals is also the best I have had. Normally these silver dials are worn pretty bad. The case is pictured in Ly-Seth Thomas, page 216.

The rosewood veneer is in very fine condition with just a little damage at the peak and a small chip on the flat section that joins the top and bottom of the door. The original signed dial has turned dark from smoke from the fireplace and there are a couple of paint flakes on the edge. The case houses a repeating strike rack movement with original brass springs. The hands and lock are original. The tablet is old and maybe original as there does not seem to be any indication that it has been out of the door. The label is very clean. Height 20 inches

The refinished mahogany case is in excellent condition with an original dial, hands and glasses. The original tablet has had some touch up with white paint, & could use some professional help; "Time takes down all, great and small". The dial has normal paint loss around the mounting screws; overall a great dial with only a little wear on the signature. . The movement is signed by the maker. The ripple pattern is especially complex and nice. Height 19 inches

The refinished mahogany veneered case is exceptionally nice with some minor damage around the door lock. The veneer along the base has been expertly replaced. The original signed wood dial is missing one brass grommet and has some dark stains. The hands and lower tablet are original (nice cut & frosted lyre). The upper glass is original, and was taken out and reset when the case was refinished. The case houses a repeating strike 2<SUP>nd</SUP> version of Kirk's patent brass plate movement with brass springs enclosed in iron cups. The label is clean and readable.
