| Catalog Description:
C.1884, (dated on rear), Seth Thomas, "HECLA", walnut cased, quarter strike mantel clock, on bells. Condition: generally fair to good original condition; there are two chips of burled veneer missing from the bottom of the left column, another chip along the left back edge of the base, top has been repaired. Most of the original finish remains, but there are areas where it got damp and is missing and the wood has just wax on it. The dial has a good sized flake below 6, and the numerals are quite weak from a finger setting the hands. There is a fair to good label inside, with losses from throwing the key into the case. Original pendulum has part of the damascene pattern polished off. Movement dirty. Height 22.5 inches [57cm]
