Seth Thomas Clock Co. another very rare City Series model, “St. Paul”, ca 1884. The polished walnut veneered case is 21” high, and like the Pittsburgh, is a very significant and imposing clock when compared to other City Series models. The wood is very clean and polished nicely. This clock has a brass pendulum instead of the special cut glass pendulum that came with the clock. It has a nickeled pendulum hanger, brass bell, brass dial rings, and an alarm movement in the base. The dial has new paper on the old pan, hands are replacements, and no label inside. The door locks on the side with the winding key. This model has large acorns on the sides, spools on the door front, burl walnut and other trim used sparingly around the case. The brass lyre movement is 8-day, clean, signed, running, and striking the bell. This clock like the Pittsburgh, books for $1000, we have sold them in years past for considerably more, and we notice folks used to pay almost anything on eBay and at live auctions. Those trying to collect the entire series of City named clocks are always excited to find these more rare models. Ly-Seth Thomas #596. The picture #364A is a clock we sold several years ago with all the correct parts. You can readily see what you need to make this a high-priced clock. $300-$500.

Chinese reproduction of a Boat or Engine Room clock originally made by the Chelsea Clock Co. It was a WWII wartime clock no doubt used on the US Navy’s ships. The brass dial is signed, “Chelsea Clock Co. / Boston. You wonder
how it made it thru customs. Recessed numerals and minute marks are black filled and the paint and dial face are excellent. It is
time only movement winding above the 6, slow/fast adjuster below the 12. Screw off bezel seals the dial and movement from moisture.
The dial is 5.5”, the top bezel is 7.25”. The brass case has a very nice bright finish. It is made to mount to a wall with 3 screws.
$100-$200.
