| Catalog Description:
C.1870, Seth Thomas, "No. 1, Extra, Striking" in nice restored condition. The case has been refinished and a few veneer chips filled in with stain (looks pretty good). The bottom 6" of the case was replaced and is too long and the wrong configuration. See Ly's Seth Thomas book for a foto of the correct profile. A good cabinet maker could construct this for you. A bit of the gold on the tablet is missing where the gold rod is showing (should be fruit depicted there). Most of the instructions are intact. With original square iron weights. Best part is the embossed Seth Thomas pendulum with a little image of the town of Plymouth Hollow (now Thomaston). Height (reflects long bottom), 43 inches
