Seth Thomas Clock Co. hanging clock, “Office No.6”, ca 1913. The case is oak and stands 36” high. It has darkened slightly over time, but looks nice. That did not hurt the case at all, so expect it to have an oak color. It was made so you could remove the top if you want a plainer case. It looks nice and clean, even rubbed out. The upper glass and   old lower glass with advertising look to be original. Good signed Seth Thomas dial with but is probably the second dial on that pan. The dial board is missing but I would not have noticed if not called to my attention by the consignor. The hands, pendulum bob, wood stick, and beat scale are correct. The 8-day time only movement is signed and the Geneva locks are still intact. This model must have been popular for advertising; I notice I have sold other Office No.6’s with advertising on the glass. Ly-Seth Thomas #1075. $200-$300.

Other than the columns with ornate capitals and bases this is a rather plain case. There is one tiny chip in the beveled glass, the porcelain dial is excellent and the hands are correct. The 8-day time and striking movement is signed, running, and striking properly. It strikes half hours and hours on a gong. It has the correct style pendulum and key. Ly-Ansonia #1271.  $100-$200.

French white marble cased clock with a “Japy Freres” round 8-day movement. It has a beveled glass in the brass sash, two toned marble dial, incised numerals that are gold filled, and correct original hands. On the back is a hinged brass cover over the movement opening. The pendulum is signed, “THFBLE”, or something close to that. Very unusual to see a signed pendulum. I added a picture of the movement to show you what I believe is something very unusual, and something I have never seen on another movement. Probably something very simple. It is the long metal piece that is attached at the bottom of the movement and extends upwards. It is signed, “Flourdelet.B? SG?”, or something close to that. It is running and striking properly.  $200-$350.
