| Catalog Description:
C.1909, Seth Thomas Clock Co., "Empire No. 31", 8-day time/strike crystal regulator. This clock is un-restored condition and will need cleaning to restore the original bright finish to the case and other techniques to restore the bronze finish to the figure, which is rubbed to base metal. The outer left foot has been repaired. This example has the crystal columns with applied gold designs; this model also came with cut glass columns. The dial is perfect and the hands are original. The beveled glass on the back door has a chip. The other beveled glasses are excellent. The bonnet figure is a little loose in her attachment to the main case, and needs attention (will need disassembly to correct). Height 25" $750-$1,000
