| Catalog Description:
Seth Thomas "Dixie", ca around 1900. 8 day, time, strike, and alarm. Strikes hours on a coil gong, alarms on a brass bell, running. Same type of label you see on the "metal series", "capital series", and "college series", clocks. I would guess they were all made in the 1900-1920 period. If you study (I did) the bronze trimmings used on the metal series, they are probably like the metal on this clock. The original dial is worn. Label inside the case, long label on the back, about two-thirds there. A couple of things stamped on the case at the factory, "M&L*", and "21". Oversize case is28 1/2 inches high, 17 1/2 inches wide. Clean oak case, all original. Ly-Seth Thomas No.1120. A better picture is in Ehrhardt, Book 2, page 142.
