Antique Seth Thomas "Athens" Model Clock

Previous Model - Next Model
Seth Thomas Athens

Catalog Description:

Seth Thomas City Series clock, the "Athens", ca 1886. The 17 inches high walnut case doesn't look like it has ever been touched, it is very dark, has crazed paint, and that presents another challenge for a refinisher. It would be a might fine case if cleaned because the nickel accessories, and probably the best, original dial, I have ever seen on a City Series clock would set this clock off perfectly. Usually the dials have been repainted by now, or should be. The Seth Thomas "Star" pendulum, on this clock, only came with the No.3 Fashion, the Nashville, and New Orleans. This is their one day model made back in the days when there was nothing else to do after dark but wind your clocks. Ly-Seth Thomas #166.
