A
LARGE HANDSOME GALLERY CLOCK THAT WAS MADE BY THE SETH THOMAS CLOCK COMPANY
OF THOMASTON, CONNECTICUT IN THE LATE 1800'S FOR A STORE IN MORRISTOWN,
NEW JERSEY.
THIS
CLOCK IS FITTED WITH A THIRTY DAY DOUBLE SPRING TIME MOVEMENT AND HAS A
GRAHAM DEAD-BEAT ESCAPEMENT.
THE
CASE IS OLD OAK AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE BACK OF THE CLOCK IS AN
OBLONG BOX ARRANGEMENT FOR THE MOVEMENT, AND MEASURES 19 INCHES HIGH, 10
INCHES WIDE, AND 4 INCHES DEEP. THE BOTTOM ACCESS DOOR WHICH IS NOT VISIBLE
IS A REPLACEMENT.
THIS
CLOCK HAS THE ORIGINAL 18 INCH DIAL IN ARABIC STYLE NUMERALS, AND THE ORIGINAL
SETH THOMAS HANDS.
THE
DIAL OR FACE IS ORIGINAL BUT DOES HAVE FLAKING DUE TO IT'S AGE. ( A PROFESSION
DIAL PERSON CAN EASILY RESTORED THE DIAL.)
THIS
WAS THE TYPE OF CLOCK THAT WAS ALSO USED IN SMALL TRAIN STATIONS FROM NEW
YORK TO CALIFORNIA AND MONTANA TO FLORIDA. THE SETH THOMAS 30 DAY
ARCADE CLOCK, WAS ALSO USED IN SMALLER OFFICES AND FACTORIES AT THE TURN
OF THE PAST CENTURY.
