Seth Thomas Clock Co. hanging clock, “Flora”, ca 1883. This clock is not as common as many of their early models and is especially rare because it was made of oak. It is a great looking clock, oak aged sufficiently that it is now between a medium and dark oak. There are carved designs on the case sides, the top, and around the door. I did not hang the brass weights in the clock for the picture but they are polished and match the brass pulleys, brass damascened pendulum, brass beat scale, brass Cathedral bell, and the brass dial rings. Other nice brass pieces are the hinges, door lock, the winding key, and of course the 8-day brass movement, all original to the clock except the winding key. Inside is a nice black label, an original painted dial and hands. The dial is slightly faded and has a couple of small paint chips. The coil gong and one weight cable came unhooked in transport to me. Should be easy fix. Remember when this model sold for around $5000? Ly-Seth Thomas, page 327. $1750-$2500.

Cherry case is 35” tall, gold stenciled designs around the top and base, and grooves filled with gold to highlight. There are four beveled glass mirrors on the sides and a wonderful glass in the door showing a young maiden picking fruit from a tree. Spindles top and bottom, small turned finials top and bottom, and a drawer in the base to keep your valuables. The movement is 8-day, striking a Cathedral gong on the hours. Brass dial rings, correct hands, old dial, brass gong base, brass pendulum bob, wood stick, and a winding key. The 8-day movement is clean, signed, and original to the clock. Case is clean inside and out, a very attractive clock. We have sold these for $4000 when they were in excellent condition, especially the cherry cases. This one is very close.

Ansonia Clock Co. hanging, “Regulator A”, with simple calendar, ca 1906. A very popular model for Ansonia during the early 1900’s.This clock has been cleaned of all the smoke, revealing the pleasant polished black walnut veneer. Part of the bezel is painted black for accent. Original “Regulator A” bottom glass, and according to the previous owner it may have a replaced upper glass. There are no footprints where someone has soldered the tabs. If in fact the glass is a replacement someone did a fine job. I believe they added some new putty because the old putty or the tabs were not holding properly. Pendulum bob, hands, and both door latches are original. Inside the case is a complete black and gold label, “Ansonia Clock Co., New York”. Case is 32” high, all original, very clean, and with no problems apparent. Movement is 8-day, running, and striking a gong on the hours. Ly-Ansonia #660. Booked for $650 four years ago. $400-$600.
