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 Thomas, page 188. $75-$150.
