HORTON'S ANTIQUE CLOCKS JULY 2019
216. $50
Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Conn. one of the first City
Series they made, the “Chicago”, ca 1874. The rosewood veneered case is excellent but has not been cleaned in a while, and I see no
reason to. The only improvements one might make would be to polish the brass ornaments and bezels. Personally, I would not, but some
collectors like to spiff them up. This model has always been one of my favorite City Series clocks. Near perfect label inside, replaced
brass pendulum bob, very nice glasses, correct hands, and coil gong. 8-day movement is signed, running, and striking correctly. Ly-Seth
