Catalog Description:
Seth Thomas hanging clock, "World", ca 1909. Another 15 day , time only wall clock, with a large double spring movement, Graham dead beat escapement, and it is running.32 inch mahogany case has a factory stamp on the back, "July 1910". Brass beat scale and pendulum. 12 inch zinc dial with a seconds dial that has lost most of the paint. A little flaking on the time dial. You can probably live with the 12 inch dial flaking but not the seconds dial. You may as well paint both to have a first rate clock.You will need to polish the brass bezel, repaint or put new gold leaf on the strip around the lower glass, and the clock should approach a $800-$1000 value. Ly-Seth Thomas No.497.
