Seth Thomas, Thomaston, Conn. City Series clock, “Wales”, ca
1904. I have never heard of a town in the US named Wales, but there are actually at least 3. I doubt that Seth Thomas named this clock
for a US city, more than likely it was named for Wales, United Kingdom. ST also named clocks for other foreign countries and foreign
cities. I am no expert but I have probably owned more City Series clocks than anyone you know. This little 10 ˝ inch high oak clock
is typical of this type ST clock, well made of good materials, great 8-day round movement (signed), porcelain dial (signed), and standing
Cathedral gong. It is running and striking. Ly-Seth Thomas #619. $150-$300.

E. Ingraham Clock Co. hanging clock, “Dewdrop”, ca 1881. Ingraham
called the case, “Imitation Rosewood”. I suppose it might be pine, stained to look like rosewood. Case is 23 ˝ inches tall, has door
latches on both doors, original glasses, partial label on the back and good original pendulum. The old dial has been covered with
something to hold the paint and the numerals have been enhanced. The 8-day time only movement is running. Ly-Ingraham #368. $100-$200.

The walnut case is 32 inches high, has a black ring around the bezel for accent, and is missing the glass over the original painted dial. As you can see there is considerable flaking and probably replaced hands. The 8-day movement is running. There is a door latch on the bottom, none on the bezel. The inside of the case is covered with black paper and the bottom glass has black lettering, all for effect. Ly-New Haven #564. $75-$150.

condition and has the correct hands. It has good brass side rails and a brass eagle. The 8-day time only movement winds inside the
